THROW THE CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEEE! ASDFmovie references aside, probably run, cry, scream, and get fried by a laser beam. WWYDI you woke up with the ability to read minds?

Hortensia seems more just... bratty, rather than a dominatrix. And it's been stated that Alcryst has a backbone.

Please, game. Let me gay marry these two. NOW.

The best part is, Donnel's voiced by Sam Riegel, who also voiced the 2003 version of Donatello.

The biggest one to me seems to be Hortensia. 1-2 range Heals and Mends have some fun strategic possibilities, as does being able to get more range out of Physic than usual, and increasing how many people Fortify can heal.

Here's a list for the people who don't wanna watch the whole video: Alear: Divinely Inspiring (Adjacent allies deal +3 damage and take 1 less damage) Alfred: Self-Improver (If unit uses Wait without attacking or using items, grants +2 Strength for 1 turn) Yunaka: Trained To Kill (While unit occupies terrain that grants an Avo bonus, grants Crit +15) Louis: Admiration (If two female units are adjacent within two spaces, this unit takes 2 less damage during combat) Alcryst: Get Behind Me! (When an ally within 2 spaces is attacked, grants +3 Strength to unit for 1 turn) Citrinne: Generosity (When this unit uses a healing item, adjacent allies also recover the same amount of HP) Lapis: Share Spoils (If there is an ally within 1 space, grants Hit/Avoid +10 at a cost of -10 Crit to unit) Jean: Expertise (Grants unit enhanced stat growth when levelling up) Chloe: Fairy-Tale Folk (If a male and a female ally are adjacent within two spaces, unit deals +2 damage in combat) Anna: Make A Killing (May obtain 500 G when unit defeats a foe. Trigger% = Luck.) Etie: Energized (When unit recovers HP using an item, grants +2 Strength for 1 turn) Celine: Gentle Flower (Recovery items used by allies within 2 spaces heal +50% HP) Boucheron: Moved To Tears (When an ally joins a chain attack in this unit's combat, unit deals +2 damage) Vander: Alabaster Duty (If unit is adjacent to the Divine Dragon, grants +5 Crit during combat to both of them.) Framme: Crimson Cheer (If unit is adjacent to the Divine Dragon, grants +10 Avo during combat to both of them.) Clanne: Verdant Faith (If unit is adjacent to the Divine Dragon, grants +10 Hit during combat to both of them.) Diamante: Fair Fight (If unit initiates combat, grants +15 Hit to unit and foe if foe is able to counterattack.) Amber: Aspiring Hero (If no other units are within 1 space of unit or foe, grants +20 Hit at the cost of -10 Avoid in combat.) Ivy: Single-Minded (During combat with a foe who was also unit's most recent opponent, grants +20 Hit) Kagetsu: Blinding Flash (If unit initiates combat, inflicts Avo -10 on foe during combat.) Zelkov: Not *Quite* (If foe initiates combat, inflicts -10 Hit on that foe during combat.) Hortensia: Big Personality (When unit uses a healing staff, grants range +1) Goldmary: Disarming Sigh (If foe is male, inflicts Hit -20 on that foe during combat) Rosado: Stunning Smile (If foe is male, inflicts Avoid -20 on that foe during combat)

Former just for variety, latter because we don't have official ages yet so it's mostly to avoid big age gaps.

In case you're wondering my only two rules I'm following is 'no doubling up on the same families' (so, say, if I go Alfred x Timerra, I can't also go Celine x Fogato) and older siblings with other older siblings and younger siblings with other younger siblings (so no Diamante x Hortensia or Alfred x Alcryst).

So, one thing on the retainers bit: I did remember seeing a thing stating that Louis was Celine's gardener, and Bunet is a cook, and Pandreo is a priest in addition to a retainer. So, at the very least, that adds some depth to their duties/relationships. They're a retainer and they also X.

This is just for a laugh, Shadow Mir. If it turns out I think that Celine has a more compelling support with Louis, or Alcryst and Citrinne have a really cute dynamic I'll definitely pivot, this is just fun theorizing.

While I admit it might be unlikely, the Full Gay Option (Alfred x Diamante, Timerra x Ivy, Celine x Hortensia and Alcryst x Fogato) is also intriguing.

...how long until an FE game uses the names "Donatello" and "Michelangelo"?

To clarify what I mean: Those runs that would go with Ryoma x Camilla, Xander x Hinoka, Takumi x Elise and Leo x Sakura. Here, in Engage, we've got four royal families with two members each. This is mostly silly/for shits and giggles, I'm definitely going to play it by ear with what supports I like, but it's a funny idea. Right now I'm thinking Alfred x Ivy, Diamante x Timerra, Celine x Fogato and Alcryst x Hortensia.

Given that Vander is the 32nd generation Dragon Guardian, and Clan and Framme are the 33rd, do you think that means that Vander is their father, either biologically or via adoption? Or perhaps he's their uncle? They have similar hair colors, but Vander's could be the result of his age, and I don't think they're the exact same shade of grey. Clan and Framme could also just have been chosen or volunteered for the position.

My confusion is less about them not being Cavaliers and more about the possibility of them not being the same class at all.
