yip9 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Why does Owain often hold his hand in front of his face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) He's a rather unique kid. Owain strikes me as a dude who doesn't do what he does because he wants attention, but rather because he can't help it. It's Owain! The guy's all about odd. But I'm guessing you're looking for a... Specific reason. He's never directly stated why he does such, but I'm sure it was picked up by someone he admired growing up.

Faye Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The official art makes him look like he's covering his face because he's embarrassed, or very sad. But the sprite itself looks kinda like he's trying to be cool. Perhaps it's a reference to his "sword hand", keeping the hand where he can see it so it doesn't go crazy and start slashing stuff with a sword.

Dragoncat Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yeah I think it's just something he does/keeping the sword hand out of the way. Fun fact: when he promotes, it no longer shows up in his map sprite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is there any reason that "because he thinks it looks cool" isn't a sufficient explanation? I mean, he is a massive show-off and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sword Hand" quirk is strictly localization canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except he looks like he's about to put his thumb up his nose. Take that as you will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxkibram Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) During the hotspring scramble DLC, if Robin speaks to Owain twice, Owain will break character for a moment and tragically explain why he acts the way he does. He's aware that he's living in his own imagination. Like all the children's weird quirks, his derived from not being to protect his parents or the future. His 'sword hand' is just him playing hero. Deep down he realizes how silly it is, but it's how he copes. Edited October 28, 2014 by Maxkibram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
