Role Reversal AU Characters

For a good starting ground for a blog like this, how about I reveal what the 8 character references I've made look like? This is gonna be a bit of a long post, since each character will also have a short description to summarize what they all act like.

Note: Most of the characters here would count as spoilery content (up to Act 3 optional content) in ISAT, so keep that in mind!

First up, we have the party!

Lumios / The Prince (he/they) - Rock type

Lumios may act all flashy in public to keep up the princely facade, but deep down, they care deeply about those that he feels attached to. Compared to their ISAT counterpart, The Traveler, they're more on the melancholic side, and he's the second tallest of the party. His weapon of choice is a shield with a star crest in the middle.

Euphrasie / The Housemaiden (She/Her) - Scissors/Paper type

Euphrasie is a Housemaiden for the House of Change training to become the Head Housemaiden once Head Housemaiden Mirabelle steps down from her position. She has a bit of a hard time speaking up for herself, as she has little confidence in doing so. Compared to her ISAT counterpart, The Housemaiden, she's got pretty much the same personality, and she's the tallest of the party. Her weapon of choice is a claymore with a handle decorated with the Symbol of Change.

Éredon / The Seamster (he/him) = Scissors type

Éredon is a clothing designer from Jouvente who wishes to one day take on the path of being a Defender. Once he fully pursues being a Defender when he returns to his home, he'll focus more on the Defender aspect, with making the clothing design aspect from a full-time job to an on-and-off hobby. Compared to his ISAT counterpart, The Defender, he's more bold but has a hard time with understanding what people say to him unless they're direct with him, and he's the shortest of the party. Éredon's weapon of choice is a large seam ripper.

Gisaline / The Author (she/her) - Paper type

Gisaline is a somewhat-elderly woman who had been to Ka Bue for a short period of life but eventually ended up moving back to Vaugarde, leaving her ex-husband and daughter behind to focus more on her work. During one of her shopping trips in a costal town on the northwestern part of Vaugarde, she ended up spotting Euphrasie and Éredon going through the town in search of an orb, and she offered to help in their journey to save Vaugarde. She hopes that one day, she can return to Ka Bue to see her ex-husband and daughter once more and apologize for leaving them behind, hoping to reconnect that bond with them. Compared to her counterpart, The Researcher, she's pretty perceptive about her surroundings to help give her ideas, and she's the second shortest party member. Her weapon of choice is her book.

Pétronille / The Blacksmith (she/they) - Rock type

Pétronille is a young adult from Bambouche who bumped into the other four after being freshly injured from a Hysterie that they managed to fend off. Seeing that she was injured, the party decided it was best for her to sit on the sidelines and distract the Hysteries in battles or provide buffs to their allies. When meeting her, a Hysterie was lunging at her, but Lumios swiftly stepped in the way, causing the loss of their left eye. They do still feel bad about it, but she mainly focuses on saving their sibling Boniface. Compared to their counterpart, The Kid, they're a bit more aggressive with their distraction methods, and their height is in the middle of the party. Her weapon of choice is a hammer she smithed herself.

Now, how about we get to the other three characters?

Whirlpool / The Comet (they/them)

Whirlpool is a person made out of space matter who helps guide Lumios through the loops, acting a bit more arrogant to hide their issues. Their comet head's trail is made out of tears that, if consumed, taste like burnt sugar. Compared to their ISAT counterpart Loop, their head reflects light instead of emitting light, and instead of spikes on the body, they have what water looks like in a no-gravity situation. As for where they stay, instead of under the Favor Tree, they reside in a hidden cave of the Favor Falls (the waterfall version of the Favor Tree).

The Mage (he/him) - Scissors type

The Mage is the one who put Vaugarde under a time freeze curse, causing Vaugardians to stand still until the curse is dispelled upon his defeat. Compared to his ISAT counterpart The King, unlike the eternal crying, he wears a perpetual smile that never fades. The reasoning behind placing Vaugarde under eternal stillness is still the same.

Mirabelle / The Head Housemaiden (she/her)

Mirabelle is the Head Housemaiden in the House of Change for Dormont, also acting as a mentor to Euphrasie. Compared to her ISAT counterpart, her personality is the same, but her laugh isn't as regal. Just like how Euphrasie blessed Mirabelle with Time Freeze Immunity in ISAT, Mirabelle blessed Euphrasie with the same thing.

And that's it for the main eight! If you're wondering about the Dormont residents and the Frozen Housemaidens, the Housemaidens become Dormont residents, and the Dormont residents become Housemaidens.
