Context YMMV / Andraste

Go To

1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Andraste: Is she a [[RoyalBrat reckless, prejudiced, spoiled brat]], or a [[ToughLeaderFacade confused young girl just trying her best to live up to impossible standards?]]
2** Radiance: Is she a self-centered, attention-grabbing control freak, or a sympathetic, hopeless romantic who wants to see her loved ones happy?
3** Elvin: [[TheWoobie Is he just someone who has lots of bad luck and suffers from entirely understandable feelings of worthlessness]], or a self-pitying martyr who revels in his misery?
4** Is Empress Sarai a sociopathic murderer or [[FallenHero a poor, young woman being controlled by magic she never understood and took with best intentions in mind?]]
5** Is Syok a [[AbusiveParents neglectful father]] and sociopathic murderer [[AmbitionIsEvil who abuses his powers to achieve his personal goals]], or is he a genuninely [[BreakTheCutie good man, whose become so cold after fighting in a war, losing his son, and several wives]] that he just doesn't know how to show his softer side anymore?
6* LesYay: Andraste and Radiance take a ''bath'' together, though it is, admittedly, seemingly a normal thing for Nymphians.
7* NightmareFuel: There are spirits out there that can see into your mind and tell you every single flaw you and your ancestors have ever had.
8** There's a sorceress out there, and if you make her mad, she can turn you into ''any animal she wants''.
9** Empress Sarai is a sadistic vampire, who can also control your every move. She's also probably insane.
10** Elvin's [[WickedStepmother stepmother]] can feel a person's every fear, and possibly see all their memories, too.
11** Queen Rhiannon. She's [[TheHighQueen beautiful, brilliant, gracious, and pure]]. Oh, and she probably [[spoiler:tortures children]].
12** There's a prophecy, [[TheChosenOne saying that you can save kingdoms]] from [[EvilEmpire a horrible dictator]]. Sadly, that prophecy is just a lie to boost your country's morale. Really the people you're protecting have lied to you. Oh, and your new-found friend? [[spoiler:It's likely your parents tortured him.]]
13* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Clare dies.]]
14** It's made sadder by the fact that Elvin [[spoiler: named Adair/his sword after her]].
15*** It's also the first time that you really see just how ''broken'' he's really become.
16** [[spoiler: As Adair is dying, he tells [[EmpathicHealer Elvin]] not to save him, knowing that it'd probably kill the latter. Instead, he refuses to let Elvin help him, gives him his sword, and ''jokes'' as he's dying]].
17** After Elvin's first battle, [[spoiler: during which Sarai nearly kills him]] Elvin literally ''breaks down'' into a sobbing wreck while talking to Andraste.
