Fire Emblem General

I equipped Luna on Gerome and Minerva literally spun like a drill through enemies whenever he activated it. You tell me.
 
This exact situation is brought up in one of the support conversations. You might be able to guess whose idea it was.
I would love to say Widowmaker, but I assume it was Henry.

I assumed it was Henry because earlier in the thread, @ZerbanDaGreat said that Henry knows that feeling. This lead me to assume that Henry wanted to fly on a pegasus. As no one else has been mentioned with his same desire, I assumed it was Henry.
This means that FE:A has canon mind transfer. :o

Edit: Or genderbending.
 
Ah but we at least know that she doesn't know ALL the dark magic. Otherwise she might choose to use Henry's mind swap spell on the Avatar's Spouse.

I'm getting Excalibur vibes here. Jealous person wants another mans wife, so (s)he uses magic to take her lovers form and have sex with her. Nine months later, out comes baby Arthur Morgan.
 
But, wouldn't that alienate the Avatar?

Surely Tharja is sane enough to know not to do so.

This is the same Tharja that spends more then one conversation gathering ingredients for a 'love me spell' to use on various characters remember. Who cures a large number of people with a cold by cursing the cold and threatening the only one who figured out with death for revealing that. Who admits to having a lock of the Avatars hair in their wallet during the Gold farming DLC, uses her daughter for curse practice, threatens to MURDER the Avatar during their s-support and spent ages trying to curse Gregor for little reason, cursed Frederick to get out of training, cursed him again and almost got him killed...

Yeah, lets just say I doubt she cares as much about Alienation if she gets what she wants.

Tharja gives exactly one fuck.

That fuck is entirely oriented on the player character and there is no way to redirect it. May the gods have mercy upon you if you try.
 
I think its been long enough. Time for another playthrough.

Also, I never got a chance to see crazy creepy Tharja. I immediately put her with the pretty manly cleric and that relationship was actually pretty sweet.

That's the thing. About half of her supports are like that. And the other half she's trying to use someone as a test subject. Or both. She's not as crazy and creepy as she seems. Admittedly that's not saying much, but it's there.

That's the beauty of Awakening's supports in general. The fact that there are so many of them means that any individual support often comes up shallow or stereotypical, enforcing an apparently one-dimensional view of the characters involved. But the sheer number of supports each character has means that even if one's characterization seems to lack depth, it sure has a helluva lot of breadth to it. So there's no time for extensive introspection or character building or any particular focus on growth--but we do get a lot of each character in a crazy variety of situations, which does a lot to flesh out what ultimately are bit characters to Awakening's overall plot, since no one but the lords are guaranteed to survive.

Actually Lucina can die (well not die, but be removed from the game). Only Chrom and the MU are guaranteed, required, to make it through every battle.

Huh, I guess it must be the same for Say'ri as well. Never thought about it, but she's necessary for the Valm arc's plot, so even if she "dies" in battle, she'll still show up in the cutscenes.

It's that way with several characters. Lissa, Maribelle, Sully, etc. They get removed from gameplay and you can never use them again, but they technically don't "die". Other characters do outright die, though. I don't let characters get killed, so I'm not sure which exactly does which.

It usually depends on if they would end up having anything important to do with the plot at some point. Like I think Virion doesn't die because of what happens after chapter 11. I also remember in FE7 that if a character has something to do with FE6 they won't die even if they're not plot important in 7.
