Justice, Patience and Bravery
So I have seen people argue that Yellow, Aqua and Orange don't quite represent their corresponding SOUL trait?
Yellow is Justice, but he is dumb and easily tricked.
Aqua is Patience, but she is constantly getting distracted and bored.
Orange is Bravery, but she keeps hiding and running.
And I'm like. yeah, but those aren't representative of them not being their element.
Yes. Yellow is kinda dumb and he is quick to misunderstand and take everything literal. but you know what he also is? non-Judgemental. He never assumes anyone is guilty until proven. While he accused the heroes of stomping Blue's flowers, he accused them of something they definitely did, and when they defend themselves by suggesting of some human-shaped flowers may have done it, he concedes on the basis that "what if there was some human-shaped flowers who did it instead?" should be an element that needs to be taken into account and disproved for Justice to happen.
Likewise, he never makes exceptions as to who deserves justice. Not his companions and not himself. everyone who is guilty (and let's be honest here, the joke here is that most of these crimes are small potatoes as the chapter is very lighthearted) needs to face their actions. You know? the principle of Blind Justice?
The only exception he ever does of not wanting to deliver "Justice" on a "guilty" is Blue. And Not wanting to do Justice on Blue is so opposite to what Yellow embodies that he has the need the actually punish himself.
Aqua is extremely patient. She never gets upset with anyone or takes it badly when people tell her they don't want to play. She is always ready to go with what Seth has in store.
Yes, sometimes she gets bored or wants to do something else, but it's usually alongside what she is currently doing. The only time she loses her "patience" is when Seth really pushed it by forcing her to do a single move repeatedly ad-nauseum, but her attack on them wasn't even out of malice or lashing out, it was her still doing things from the frame this was a "game".
And Orange is not a coward.
Yes, she initially goes behind the screens to hide her true appearance but that's because the game hints that (despite her own words) she is very self-conscious that she doesn't "look human enough". Whenever that button is pushed, she gets upset or cries. But when danger happens? she is in the front.
She tries to take part on Seth and Aqua's fight with the gang.
she initially attacks the gang when they first see her true appearance, then runs away on the basis she was doing zero damage. that's not cowardice, that's being smart enough to know you are at a severe disadvantage.
when teaming-up with Green, she is the one doing all the fighting while Green is purely support. She is the one doing everything.
Hell, when it's her turn to be support for Flowery, she works in tandem with him with physically trying to punch the heart. Something no one except Flowery does, everyone else just does their usual attacks.
and when she becomes a flower once more, she is not afraid. She is sad and wondering if she showed enough bravery. Again, not a sign of cowardice, but of how she was very self-conscious.
And still never backed down.
They embody their element just as much as everyone else
