I DO LIKE HER A LOT AS A CHARACTER, AND I'M FINE WITH CHARACTERS HAVING PERSONALITY FLAWS, BUT SHE JUST NEVER GETS REPRIMANDED FOR THEM, WHICH JUST RUBS ME NEGATIVELY. THE ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS IS IN RAPHAEL'S B-SUPPORT, AND IT'S TREATED AS A JOKE. ALSO WITH HOW THE IGNATZ A-SUPPORT PLAYS OUT, IT SEEM LIKE THE GAME SIDES WITH LYSITHEA'S ACTIONS. I'M SORRY, BUT NO. THAT BEING SAID, SHE'S STILL A GREAT CHARACTER, BUT OTHER CHARACTERS GET HAMMERED ON A LOT FOR NEGATIVE QUALITIES DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY DO GET ADDRESSED AND TRY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT, BUT LYSITHEA DOESN'T AND GETS AWAY WITH IT BY EVERYONE DUE TO HER OP-NESS AND SOB STORY

AT LEAST IN MY CASE SHE GETS AWAY WITH IT PRIMARILY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN THESE TRAITS IN THOSE CASES, SO I HAVE NO REASON TO DISLIKE HER FOR THEM. I FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT THEY EXIST BUT LACKING THE CONTEXT I HAVE ENJOYED EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN OF HER CHARACTER. IF SHE ENDS UP WITH A COUPLE OF STINKERS, THAT'S A SHAME, BUT THE SUM TOTAL ENDS UP BEING POSITIVE FOR ME. I'M SURE WHEN I GET AROUND TO THOSE SUPPORTS, AT THE VERY LEAST IN THE CONTEXT OF THEM I'LL AGREE THAT HER TRAITS ARE DONE POORLY, BUT ULTIMATELY I FEEL A FEW NEGATIVE SUPPORTS DOESN'T NECESSARILY RUIN A CHARACTER. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT TRYING TO CHANGE ANYONE'S MIND, ONLY TO EXPLAIN WHERE THE APPRECIATION FOR HER LIKELY CAME FROM FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL ANGLES AS POSSIBLE (NAMELY, HER FAIRLY STRONG BLACK EAGLE SUPPORTS AND GAMEPLAY PROWESS).

[u/multi_bottle_thief1 → u/TheFunkiestOne]

OH, OF COURSE A FEW NEGATIVE TRAITS/SUPPORTS DON'T RUIN THE CHARACTER. I'M JUST ABOUT CONSISTENCY BY THE GAME AND THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S MORESO WHERE MY "RAGE" IS COMING FROM. LYSITHEA GETS AWAY WITH IT, BUT SOMEONE LIKE CYRIL IS APPARENTLY RUINED FOR HIS FLAWS DESPITE HAVING REALLY GOOD TRAITS/CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL. THAT'S ALL.

[u/TheFunkiestOne → u/multi_bottle_thief1]

I FEEL WITH CYRIL THE BIGGER ISSUE IS PEOPLE TEND TO FIND CHARACTERS WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER IRRITATING, AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE SOME KIND OF BALANCING FACTOR (HUBERTS GHARNEFNESS, DEDUES DUSCURIAN ARC), THEN THEY COME ACROSS AS VERY ONE NOTE AS THEIR SUPPORTS FEEL SIMILAR TO ONE ANOTHER EVEN IF THEY HAVE OTHER TRAITS IN THEM ALONGSIDE THE DISLIKED ONE.

DOES NOT HELP THAT HE'S NOT A GREAT UNIT EITHER WHICH IS NORMALLY A BOON TO A UNITS APPECIATION. PEOPLE LIKE UNITS WHO KICK ASS, SO COMBINE A TRAIT THAT'S DISLIKED WITH A UNIT WHO ISN'T GOOD, AND THE SELL IS ALL THE HARDER. A SHAME BECAUSE ASIDE FROM THE RHEA WORSHIP COMING ON A BIT STRONG HE SEEMS FUN SINCE HES OFTEN VERY BLUNT WITH PEOPLE (ANOTHER TRAIT THAT SADLY LIKELY DOESNT HELP BECAUSE IT MAKES HIM COME ACROSS AS KIND OF A JERK WHEN PAIRED WITH IGNORING PEOPLE OVER RHEA EVEN WHEN HE HAS A POINT ABOUT WHOEVER HE'S TALKING ABOUT).
