damned character: Aerith Gainsborough [
petalwitch]
series: Final Fantasy VII
muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ I've been having some IRL shit that's massively interfering with my brain lately. Not to mention the child I babysit for is making me watch the Hannah Montana movie over and over again. That'll make you just want to go out and have lobotomy on its own. ANYWAY. Aerith is very strong on her own. Despite massive health issues and all the other angst adventures I've been on lately, I'd still rank her around at 4 ■s. She's always somewhat chatty in my head, though I admit sometimes I flake out when it comes to dialogue.
cast strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The FFVII cast is amazing! Honestly, I feel a little lacking, and this isn't a cry for attention! Everyone just has these amazing, long introspective posts, and I'm like "Aerith really wished Cloud would give her her bra back!"
plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ □ □ I love Aerith, and she has loads of potential! She can heal a bit with some major setbacks. She's stubborn and thus won't be put off by quiet or loner types. Plus she's got a lot of issues herself that could be fun if she runs into someone with a keen eye for her dismissive tactics. You know. The "Oh, the Turks are after me because they want me to join SOLDIER! Really!" stuff. However, I gave her 3 ■s for this because I'm flopping even with all her potential! She hasn't done much besides hang with canonmates, and that's been great! Amazing, even. Don't get me wrong; I want her to forge out of canon relationships AND HOW. I've just wanted to do so many reunions with so many people from her cast that I've kind of dropped the ball here. And I still want to have more reunions. I just need to find a good balance between having those awesome scenes and venturing out into the rest of the cast. I'm thinking I'll have her help out with the St. Francis Society (IS THIS THE RIGHT NAME?) at some point, which would be a great first step.
likelihood of drop: ■ □ □ □ □ I won't say I'll never drop her because life explodes on me sometimes, but it's highly highly highly unlikely right about now. If I've kept her through this recent crap, it'll take a lot for me to drop her.
I might play around with Zelda (
blessedgrace) at
fountainofcod a bit too, but since I haven't done so yet, I'm not including her. Am also thinking of resurrecting Dizzy (
commandergear) at the fountain to see if I can still manage her.
