the hero and the crown characters rated by how good i think they would be at hugging
Aerin: a nice hug!! she's a little anxious about it, especially if she doesn't know you very well, but she's big and warm and solid, and for some reason eternally smells like an herby campfire if you're into that. 9/10
Arlbeth: it would be nice if you couldn't tell he's thinking of six million other things, because he smells nice and is Strong, but he's distracted and his grip is pretty weak. 4/10 not that bad during but leaves you feeling inadequate after
Galanna: she could give nice hugs if she wanted but she's awful. occasionally gives a hug if she needs to manipulate someone. 0.5/10 she smells nice i guess
Luthe: too spindly and bony to be very good at hugging, but he's not bad. if you really need a hug (provided you're his student/similar, or aerin or tor) he'll give you one. if he'll let you, he's better for being the recipient of a hug, because he's very bendy and willing to stay there for a looooong time. it's very grounding. 7/10
Perlith: -100/10 doesn't give hugs, would look down on you for needing one, why are you asking perlith for a hug in the first place go to literally anyone else
Talat: not great at hugs on account of having no arms and too many elbows. he'll probably chew on your hair, or if you're not aerin he'll bite you if you try to touch him. 2/10
Teka: often, hugging teka means you end up spilling all your problems, and if you don't she knows something's up anyway. she might not know what to do about them, but you feel better for having talked about it. 12/10 you probably get hot malak and a delicious meal or snack before she sends you on your way
Tor: 10000000000000/10 he's so good at hugs. he is broad and warm and strong and smells nice and he will listen to your woes and offer the most helpful advice he can. if he can't help he'll understand, and offer to do an Activity to take your mind off things if he's got time and you'd like to do that. why aren't more people hugging tor
