Well, Augus is a bit... hot-headed, so he damn well knew what he was in for.

Lookit, Ma, a pretty list! Now, what exactly are Majora's issues?

  • Inconsistency: As mentioned before, there isn't really a single cohesive direction that Majora goes moralswise. Sometimes she's completely evil, sometimes she's sort of children's show evil like Discord, and sometimes she's pretty much just snarky purple Mary Poppins. I think you may have hit the pitfall of throwing things into her character just because you thought they were cool without really thinking about how they would affect her character. Lack of consistency is something I've dealt with before, and I think it's a common issue, so don't feel too bad about it. I'm just putting it out there, is all.

  • Romantic Plot Tumor: Read the page for that trope to get a feel for it. This might just be me, but I think many of the well-thought-out aspects of Majora's character have been overshadowed by her relationship with Griff. It's seeming like more and more, she's only there to do PG-13 stuff with Griff now, and she's having less and less of an existence without him. Something similar happened way back when with Jam's Rachel and Dark Confidant's Nel (Sorry, Jam). They started out being just friends, then they got flirty, and then it was just pages and pages of cuddling and sighing and holding hands. Granted, Majora is less heavy on the cuddling and sighing, but it just seems like 75% of her activity here is Griff-centric. I don't even know what she sees in him, TBH, but that's just me.

  • Getting off easy: Like Spazz mentioned, she comes in, and when she's not in Poppins-mode, she does terribad things and is instantly forgiven, even by the people directly affected. Now, as you mentioned before, she did get hit by the pain train when in human form, but that was the only time, and it didn't last very long. Forgive me for bringing up Hindu theology here, but think about it this way: If Krishna (Vishnu's avatar) was the guy here, and he got all banged up and then Vishnu came back in, would Krishna's suffering affect Vishnu personally? I would argue no, since Krishna is but the avatar of a nigh-omnipotent being, but I might be off base there. And to reiterate, that's the only time she majorly got a comeuppance. None of her other stuff has come back to bite her in the ass yet, and I might argue that she sort of suffers from Griff's thing of being impervious to trauma.

I have a nagging feeling that I'm missing something, but I can't think of anything else, so, yeah. Sorry for taking so long. I'm a slow typist. :B

It's a good list. I agree with most of the points.

Good job Globster!

Mobile, those are all very valid points, and I will read the, over when I have the time (I have them saved) and will address them when possible. However, as to what Majora sees in Griff, it's mainly that she thinks his reactions to her messing with him are funny.

@Lunar and Fancy: Thanks. :) Hope I was thorough enough.

@Random: Ah. Still, IMO, she could probably garner reactions of that exact same quality from literally any other mortal she's met, but I'm not gonna split hairs here. Thanks for saving it. :)

[up]Heh, I dunno if that's necessary, but thanks, Badger. :P

Anyway, nice list Mobile.

I think I have a similar problem with the morality thing when I play Shubby. Do I?

You were very thorough.

And Fancy, you rock.

Wacky, I think she has her own morality. I like her, she's silly and obviously different from humans, but still... I dunno, I like her.

Also, time to be shameless.

I believe Random has asked something similar, but who do you guys think were my best and worst written characters?

Also, I guess I'll ask the same question.
