[quote=@Silver Fox] If a selfish, temperamental, overly possessive, violent person who literally is the one who got her own friends into trouble because of said temper/ideals is perfect, I'd hate to see who's the most flawed xD (although I do always feel the exact same with Saina. She seems perfect which probably isn't true) I do see your point but she did have teachers. She's trained both on her own and with Tidus and Wakka. Actually demanded training every time she could get a chance. As for her confrontion with fiends, she is less afraid of them for unexplained reasons, and for they fact they usually don't attack her on her own. She's gotten too used to it. But she is terrified of the pyreflies and always retreats from them. That and Tonberry. But she is not afraid of death. She faces that every time she goes to sleep. Which is probably why she won't hesitate to jump into battle. There's a reason for that as well. But she isn't phased by battle. She is phased by more emotional means. And Tonberry. And Pyreflies. And it's not like she hasn't been on a boat or airship. It be weird if she hadn't as a blitz all player. As with the Lightning user, it wasn't as if she wasn't exactly unafraid, but if she clinched then she'd lose her pride in what she believes is right. Which in this case, she really believes she does xD That and if she was afraid of every lightning, fire, ice, she could hardly be around Nai. Or actually any single person in the group since they all have that advantage over her. Using magic. Every single one can do it and do lethal damage to her. (Well actually I dunno if Sifen has magic. But heck he has grenade launchers for the win xD). What can Alex do? Use a sword, punch stuff sloppily and just relying on brute strength that is over the average of normal people, and run and dodge. Nai and Saina can both KO her if they land a good hit(she would have been out far longer than Nai was if Saina speared her with ice. Which lucky for Alex, hasn't happened). Gippal also (I think he knows black magic). Only reason she didn't run into a issue in both encounters is because she didn't run into a magic user. Like a flan. Flans screw her. .... [s]No not like that you sick minded person xD[/s] But perhaps I could of played her a little better xD maybe a bit more nervous with the captain since she used electricity but then again, doesn't seem there are too many people who don't know magic. I did kind of want a little down time now they were out of town and she wasn't totally mad like she was on the boat, but maybe another time. (Cause this to isn't a so out of place event. Though bad luck it was the mayor's son xD) Edit: Sifen is actually one of my favorites. He's quite flawed. There's a lot to complain about and I've given him shit and poked fun. But I find that good. He's almost adorable. Or klutzy adorkable. Weird xD [/quote] I especially refer to her 'excelled grace' on the boat when fighting off fiends, and a myriad of other movement techniques. You say she's imperfect, personality wise, then why do those flaws go away when it's convenient? She's been nothing but a perfect friend to those around her and she's not even once tried to fight someone within the group. Are you afraid of her looking bad? When it comes to Saina, yes, she is graceful and elegant, yes, she is calm, but she is far from perfect. She got caught in a net, a rather large and easily unavoidable one. She got captured. She couldn't slay the kraken on her own. She [i]needed[/i] the help she got. and Yet you still question [i]her[/i] sense of perfection even with these physical flaws. The tone of that might sound accusatory due to the 'language' of computer text and all but I do mean it. You still appear to find Saina to be cool and near flawless even though she's presented several flaws and has struggled physically and mentally over the course of the rp. The point is you can have your cake and eat it too. If you WANT us to perceive her as being flawed, as being incredibly rough, as being someone who came from nothing like you make her out to be, then you've done a very poor job of [i]showing it to us.[/i] What you KNOW about a character means nothing unless it is SEEN. X3 Edit: Wakka and Tidus? And you expect us to believe she's super graceful. This is Wakka. WAKKA. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpsqu2H8Wl1qcuk77.jpg[/img] Nobody is going to learn to be graceful, MUCH LESS with a sword, from Wakka OR TIDUS FOR THAT MATTER. Have you seen the guy fight??? He himself is REALLY not that good. He gets the job done, that's for sure, but he definitely has no style to it x-x Auron, now he had style. If you ask me, a 6'8 hulking woman is never going to be graceful. The words that come to mind are clunky, awkward, but entirely practical.
