Gwendolin 8DDDDDD So awesome. Your ending was extremely mushy and cheesy (and boy, my TV was covered with cheese XD) and damn I almost felt embarrassed by the cheesiness, but HNnnnnnnnnnnn still awesome and cute. Issues they still have but they will battle them and win. Hell yes.

Now the Pooka Prince. I still haven't completely warmed up to him because it feels pretty different to play with him. Gwendolin was just pure awesome and I loved her attacks. Kornelius still has to prove himself. (And I wanted to play Velvette now anyway >[   8D)

Played it until 3 in the morning XD Good thing that I only have one lecture in the afternoon XD Yay. Later there will definitely be moar Odin Sphere >8D

Yay rambling!

I don't remember where it came up, but somewhere anyone wondered how the male/female ratio in FE 8 was (Maybe it was me in reaction to someone saying that we have no female knight from Renais? I don't know. It doesn't really matter, honestly) It kinda bugged me that I didn't know concrete numbers so I had to make a little table:

	Male	Female
Frelia	Gilliam, Moulder, Hayden, Innes	Tana, Vanessa, Syrene
Renais	Seth, Franz, Forde, Kyle, Ephraim, Orson, Fado, Ross, Garcia, Colm, Artur	Eirika, Neimi, Lute
Grado	Lyon, Vigarde, Duessel, Cormag, Knoll, Glen, Valter	Natasha, Amelia, Selena
Jehanna	Joshua, Gerik, Ewan, Caellach, Carlyle	Marisa, Tethys, Ismaire
Rausten	Dozla, Mansel, Riev	L'Arachel

Saleh (Caer Pelyn), Rennac (Carcino), Myrrh

That gives us: 43 characters from the countries that really count 8D Saleh, Rennac and Myrrh as the odd ones out. (Mostly because they have no "contrast" so to speak; they are the only ones coming from their respective homelands)
    30 are male, 13 are female. Interestingly apart from Rausten (which has such a little number of characters anyway) EVERY country only has three female characters. Frelia still has only three even though it has the unfair advantage of being the country with the pegasi knights. However, it still looks better than Renais because the male:female ratio is better; 4:3 vs. 11:3. Grado lies between it with 7:3. Jehanna has almost the same ratio as Frelia with 5:3. (L'Arachel counts as much as a dozen "normal" persons anyway XD)

( Have some tl;dr about the countries )

I have no idea if I had a point or not. But I like ratios. Yay 8D

On a different but related topic:

Did you also notice that only Frelia and Grado (and Rausten, of course) have "court priests"? Moulder serves directly at court (and is obviously close to Hayden since he is introduced as a "most trusted vassal"). In Grado you have Father McGregor and Natasha, in a way. Renais and Jehanna don't have them (Renais doesn't have any healer, period. Artur can become a bishop later, but at the beginning he can't heal). Coincidence? 8D I don't think so~ Which reminds me that I have to put down my thoughts on Religion in Magvel.

Also, I was looking at my pirate AU stuff earlier. I really feel like doing a bit more research 8D
