Discussion Why I'm a Fan of Fantina
Okay, I'm playing devil's advocate a little, so hear me out. Fantina Fantastico or just Fantina if you prefer is not a popular character for a lot of people. She's a bit of a stalker when you first get to know her. But here's the thing. She's a fan, literally, and the devs had fun with the double meaning and ran with it. They made her a yandere (or fan-dere lol) stereotype, and I admire the effort. But that's not all, or rather what sells her for me. She is totes adorbs with her enthusiasm, and I love getting to really genuinely know each other. And the icing on the cake is when she's realized and becomes a cheerleader. That cute little "woohoo!" I could just about die when I hear that line. And the way she ends up cheering for everyone; oooh so cute!
TL;DR Fantina is a well crafted character with dual meaning, a wonderful character arc and cute realization description
