Inigo, Indigo Dancer

Inigo's well rounded (albeit low) stats lets him perform a variety of roles. Being a green mage, he can counter both BH!Lyn and Reinhardt if properly built. With his decent Speed, he can also function as a Blade mage.

Dancers/Singers are the ultimate support units in my opinion. They can give buffs with their C slot and Sacred Seal slot; counter any color their team has trouble with (besides PA!Olivia since she is colorless); and most importantly, Dance and Sing their teammates to massacre the rest of the enemy team, to retreat, or to undo a minor mistake.

As support units, a bad nature will not impact Dancers/Singers as negatively as it will affect combat units since their primary job is to Assist their allies rather than fight. Unless a specific nature is absolutely needed to counter a specific threat, natures are not too important.

Inigo can take on BH!Lyn and Reinhardt with the right nature and skill set, or specialize against one of them if you do not have the right nature.

+Def — Quick Riposte 3: +Def with any bane allows him to take on the most aggressive BH!Lyn and Reinhardts.

Quick Riposte 3/B Tomebreaker 3: Without +Def nature, Defense +3 Sacred Seals, or more merges, he cannot reliably tank the most aggressive BH!Lyn, but he can take on Reinhardt. I do not recommend using B Tomebreaker 3 as it is currently locked to F!Robin, and Quick Riposte 2 should be enough to handle Reinhardt.

Bowbreaker 3: As long as he is not -Spd, he can take on both BH!Lyn and Reinhardt with just Bowbreaker, otherwise he cannot double and finish off Reinhardt.

With three stacks of Breath of Life, Inigo can heal up to 21 HP per attack. Inigo can also run Watersweep and Windsweep to attack enemies safely.

+Spd — Speed +3/Life and Death 3/Fury 3 — Watersweep 3/Windsweep 3 — Phantom Speed 3: This combo allows him to safely attack certain ranged or Distant Counter enemies, so he can heal his allies.

Wings of Mercy 3/Escape Route 3: These skills allows him to teleport around to Assist his allies.

Renewal 3: This allows him to heal himself. Additionally, if he is running Fury for tanking, Renewal helps offset the Fury damage.

While Inigo's Speed is sufficient for a Blade mage, his Attack is a bit low. Blade tome's effect does help offset his low Attack.
