Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

elodie can differ wildly based on what you have taught her, obviously, but the most important thing I can think of is her inner core of innocent naivety.

Remember how much you have to teach her to keep from just going with her first thoughts, ie. putting sick people together making them die faster, the "oh i thought i heard one time to push the arrow through your body if you get hit" stuff, the "oh, chocolates from a stranger omnomnom!"

Similarly, remember how quickly she tends to jump to conclusions and stick to them until she learns otherwise.

If you know what skills you are using for her route I can give more specific advice, because obviously a Faith spec Elodie is a very different person than an Intrigue spec one (and doing both together is both really interesting and fairly unique)

Another thing to notice is how her demeanor can change, and her growth throughout the game will shape her strongly, depending on which path do you take. While a magical girl Elodie with high fear will be hampered mid-battle, or an intelligent one will seek for some other solutions, a military-thinking or punishment-happy Elodie will be utterly ruthless. In the epilogue for the latter, Elodie will be feared and those traits will stick with her, while the more "heroic" paths also get to shape her

That being said, this anon is right in regards to Elodie being naive and innocent for the most part. She was thrown into the position of becoming a Queen far too early, and because of it she has little knowledge of the way things work, either theoretically or socially. For most matters, Elodie acts or speaks quickly and without thinking, and it can go to either the dumb decisions anon above mentioned, or speaking her mind ("I am NOT marrying you!", regardless if she bluffed about having the guy as an ally or not, or "My, your boobs look bigger than usual", which Elodie assumes is a subtle false praise).

A minor thing, more of a subtle thing I come to think about now that we're speaking about her: While Elodie can choose to be cautious and not do some things, something that appears throughout the many ways that the story can go, even if you have her with a high "Afraid" score, is that she's brave. Sometimes, even if things go badly and she's scared as hell, she knows sometimes she has to buckle up.

Best of luck, OP. This game is really fun, and I'm so happy to see someone playing Elodie.

thanks, guys! with regards to the innocence/impetuousness, I absolutely agree -- I was thinking of tying in the whole mood-balancing mechanic, with her consciously having to check herself and set aside her personal feelings for the matters at hand. not that it always WORKS, and neither does she always catch herself in time, but still.

again, much obliged, this is all very helpful :D
