Description

Physical

• I imagine Dai is probably very Nordic, tall and thin and European. She's uh, not very ethnic, but elves really aren't.

Mental

• Dai is us. She gets very passionate about something, but her passion just dies without explanation and she moves onto something else. This has repercussions sometimes. Unlike us, she often feels a responsibility to things she used to be passionate about, even though it's more of a burden than truly caring for it anymore.

Musical

Playstyle

General Feel

• Honestly? Dai's hard to place. Her general approach has very much been 'find a weak spot strike with everything adjust repeat.' She's got a very 'spiky' pattern, where she kinda feels things out briefly then strike with everything then repeats. Don't think it's red, but it's definitely darker than pure white in the vaguest sense. Though we could always have her play off her emotional state more, where she is very passionate before trailing off and finding something new, which is similar but not the same. Hm. Even though it's not entirely her MO, it might be best to make her 'healing' focused just to have the 'main four' hit the four basic styles of defense/attack/hurting one's self/healing one's self (predominantly blue/red/white/black). Not to mention there she did regenerate herself after attacks as much as she could before her next assault. In addition, I really like the idea of 'protection' and 'imposing restrictions' with white, that is very Dai.

Passive

Wanna try to explicitly establish a positive and a negative for each.

Spells

Trying to come up with one purely physical, one purely mental, and one mix for every character, just to make sure each has one.

• Mental:
• Combination:

Feelings about Propositions

Relationship

Bahamut

• If we follow the original plot, Dai ends up reviving Bahamut sometime in the second arc. I'm kinda hesitant to have too many revivals in the series, but this does offer additional conflict between Dai and elves in general. Additionally, this was one of the cute humorous bits of the original story and I want to preserve as many as those as possible, because nothing ruins a story more than all serious all the time.

The Elf Twins

• Like many others, she feels a sense of responsibility to them more than actual attachment. Her policies with the elves in general, noted below, have an impact on the relationship.

Elves in General

• From start to finish she seeks to end the conflict in Zirconia peacefully, which causes some tension with the elves when they begin to finally have the upperhand. She tries to cite her own strife-filled childhood, but the young elves call upon centuries of oppression, that can only be repaid in blood.

Hina

• Kinda don't have much between them currently because I think she never interacted with any of my characters actually, but we should probably think it over some.

Karm

• Despite her being childhood friends with him, I imagine her relationship with Karm doesn't have much impact on the general story, due to the fact they'll almost all be together. Perhaps some separation in later plots will do them both good, but I imagine they're largely together for the majority of the first plot at least.

Koray

• I imagine not much feelings one way or the other towards the beginning (which begs the question of how Hina and Koray worm their way into traveling with them, either through sneaking along or being in danger where they are and playing off Dai's sense of responsibility), though eventually seeing him like a little brother. Which of course may be worse, because she may try to protect him thinking she knows better than him but well everything always works out the worst for Koray.

Shadow

• I imagine, to an extent, Dai sympathizes with Shadow. She can relate to his frustration with lack of purpose, and much like above, she might feel responsible in trying to provide it. Because that would work out.
