This exact situation is brought up in one of the support conversations. You might be able to guess whose idea it was.Does that mean you have to genderbend or mind-transfer to a woman in order to ride a Pegasus?
I ask because I haven't finished chapter 4 yet and I'm curious.
I would love to say Widowmaker, but I assume it was Henry.This exact situation is brought up in one of the support conversations. You might be able to guess whose idea it was.
We... we probably don't want Tharja getting a hold of that.Mind transfer. Though I would not be surprised if there's a Dark Magic spell for genderbending, considering how much more varied it seems in the Support Convos.
Why not? I mean she likely already knows it. She is a dark mage and dark mages tend to know dark magic.

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.
But, wouldn't that alienate the Avatar?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.

It depends on how good an actor she is. If she suspects she can pull this off without them noticing in time...But, wouldn't that alienate the Avatar?
Surely Tharja is sane enough to know not to do so.

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.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 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.That's the thing.

If they have a throwing axe equipped, yeah. But most axes are not for throwing so they still wind up pulling amazing feats of 'what the christ' in order to hit people from wyvernback.
... Minerva is a wyvern. Those are rather different things.

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.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.

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.
