oh man I didn't realize we were having a Lightning redemption project

That's what it is for me, probably for no one else but I'm supporting her for redemption.

She wasn't my character last year, or near the top of my favourites, but I believe in justice. She would have and should have won last year. The unfairness of what went down really stuck with me; her winning this year would correct that grievous wrong.

Nobody "deserves" to win but this is about as close of a case of "deserves" as I can think of, and I still hope she can do it.

And I know I think things through too logically but I can't get past (for anyone who doesn't have favourites left):

-If you like Lightning: great, welcome aboard

-If you're neutral or indifferent to Lightning: a save for Lightning is a save for justice, and redeeming what happened last year (for the character, and for swordz, her loyal backer who's had to put up with so much)

-If you hate Lightning: if she wins, swordz will abandon her to main Squall (implied in a previous post). There really isn't anyone else who'll pick up the mantle for her, so poor performances should be a regular occurrence. Your current displeasure at her win will be outweighed by a bounty of schadenfreude in future years... it would be worth it.

But that's just my way of looking at this.
