#41 Clem

I get why the kid exists. It's a tried and tested trope. Unruly kid who has suffered in the past learns about love thanks to the protagonists. Actually now that I think about it, he's like a non-murderous Renne or something.

Unfortunately, while the writing isn't bad, this kid is still very annoying. When he isn't running away, he is yelling or crying, otherwise, he is just forgettable. Renne has a cool scythe. And another 20 reasons for being a great character this kid doesn't have.

#40 Ricky

Well he at least gives us funny scenes. Where he is an idiot. Also the scenes are part of that drinking quest I kind of hate already. Also I'm looking at my list and everyone else has a face portrait and non-skippable dialogue so I'm feeling unfair for not dropping this guy already. At least you beat the annoying kid.

#39 Jill

She is... okay? She gets things done and doesn't get in the way. I think her role is to be a support character for the female protagonists in school, kind of how Hams is for Josh, but Estelle and Kloe are already amazingly supportive of each other so they don't need Jill. All that is left for her is to tease romance and blink with one eye. Actually I ended up bumping her above Ricky, because she has done Aidios's work by forcing the main couple to get on with it, but that's all I gotta give to her.

#38 Russel

This is the lowest position a character this important is going to be at, but that's Russel's problem. The only thing he has going for him is that he is important. The Aureole is also important, and I'm not even ranking it. Russel is walking plot device. He exists to be kidnapped, or to deliver tech to the heroes whenever they start losing too much (but not fast enough for the bad guys to lose too soon, either). What are even his motivations, pains, dreams? I guess he wants to invent things, because he is a scientist. Wow, how elaborate.

Early game there was some semblance of a character in his introduction scene, where he was heavily hinted to have some kind of ADHD or being in the spectrum (not that we need more half-assed fictional depictions of autism, but at least it would have been an attempt on SOMETHING) That could have led to some interesting interactions and/or character development, but the story just forgot about it a soon as Russel started getting involved in the plot, and never looked back. Meh.
