#31: Persona 3 -- First "Date" with Elizabeth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIM6y5R7rdY

Elizabeth is just so awesome. She looks... mostly human, but her otherworldly nature is simultaneously uncomfortable and adorable because she is so curious about the "normal" world around her. This leads to severe and hilarious misunderstandings of human culture. Like "fountain spirits."

Elizabeth is perhaps the greatest accidental troll in gaming. She does things that would be rage-inducing if she weren't so naive and innocent. (Don't mistake that for weakness, of course, but that's another story.) But as she opened that purse and the coins started flowing from what had to be extradimensional space, all I could think was, "Wait, THIS is what's happening to all the Yen I spent on fusions?! Son of a..."

As she tours the mall, she speaks with the wonder of an intelligent woman who has learned of the strange land around her in books, but never experienced anything like them. It solidifies her as one of my favorite characters in fiction.

This writeup sucked, I know. It's really tough for me to describe what makes Elizabeth so compelling. I guess she seems like a whimsical version of Data from Star Trek. She's not human, but she wants to know everything she can about us. She wants to like us, and she wants to be like us. And I'm happy to do what I can for her.
