Fist of the Phantom Star

here are my mejiro ryan doodles of her in chrom fire emblem and clive rosfield's outfits

Invisigal is just a mess of a character 😭😭😭 Her writing is just all over the place. "Complex character" and it's just a grown woman being immature and impulsive. Let's be serious. I can love a character while acknowledging the dev's shortcomings in writing her.

If you choose to keep her tied up she just rats robert out to the guy he's trying to taze and to me that just reveals her true intentions anyway. To me personally, her retorting in that petty way after she GAVE YOU a reason not to trust her anymore shows how not genuine she is about being a hero. You could be so nice to her before but keep her tied up after that obvious betrayal and suddenly she wants immediately fleeting payback. It's immature 😭

I know the phoenix program is all about rehabilitation and making bad guys go good but in my personal opinion invisigal is just so far into this self-sabotaging mindset of "no one thinks im capable of good" that it's not even enjoyable to continue being her mentor anymore. It's literally like constantly reassuring your mentally ill girlfriend that you dont hate her and you still love her every day.

Sure she joins the phoenix program immediately after planting the bomb on mecha man, which shows her remorse, but her CONTINOUSLY being a bitch and trying to withdraw from the program in episode 3 shows how she can't handle pressure of being a hero in the first place. Which is why I like her WAY BETTER as a villain.

And people are ABSOLUTELY forgetting that.

What happened to appreciating a nice little kiss from desperation? A final, selfish attempt to get the person you've been doing everything for to like you back???

I was shocked yes and lowkey, I can acknowledge (or more like feel) like the scene was kind of unneeded, but it was still a trope that's used in like. Countless media.

Invisigal is an obviously flawed character and after sitting on it for a couple days, I think I like her because of that.
