Man a lot of characters I quite like have gone out now. :(

I thought Sephiran was quite a compelling villain. The Tellius games use a lot of good setting work to explain exactly why he is the way he is, and I don't have a hard time sympathising for someone who has for years fought fruitlessly against the violent nature of humans and laguz, culminating in the genocide of his own race, give up hope and decide that his god was right that intelligent life should be purged and given a new start. I'm surprised someone would like him more than Ashnard who I found just horrible (LOL I'mma gonna let people invade my country and for some reason my army doesn't revolt). Best thing about Ashnard is how RD reveals that he's just a pawn for Sephiran, which is the only logical explanation for how this dolt accomplished anything.

Xander is a lot more consistent than you're giving him credit for. He's a good, just person (outside the Peri support maybe, just gonna pin that one on Peri)... except where his father is concerned where he has a huuuge blind spot of filial loyalty and will happily dance mental gymnastics to justify it. Having talked with a couple of friends who had abusive fathers whom they nevertheless had strong inclinations to stay loyal too made that part of Xander ring incredibly true for me.

I think Camilla is extremely interesting and trope-breaks so much about FE's normal, sometimes problematic take on female characters that I can't help but love her. She's strong, she's sexual, she's violent, she has serious psychological issues (which manifest differently on each route). She's also my wife's favourite character in the series which probably colours my opinion. Might be mine too, I dunno.

Micaiah's probably my favourite lord, because she's one of the few the game is willing to acknowledge might be wrong about things, and one of the few who gets placed in a morally difficult position. I don't really get why you're so hung up on a bunch of superficial "special" traits when in fact the game spends less signficantly less time gushing over her greatness than it does Ike's, or more generally... most lords?

Kieran's not deep but he's absolutely hilarious. His supports with Oscar and Marcia in PoR are great, as is his info conversation with Geoffrey in RD. He's a large ham and I love those. "I will brook no insult to my queen, or my armour!" Interesting that you compare her to Mia who I find extremely boring by comparison.
