Okay. Fully knowing I have only seen her C-supports and I have some hope that maybe her Bs and As will be better about it.
But I'm not gonna fucking lie. So far I am Very Very Uncertain about what I think about Bernadetta's writing. It's incredibly jarring, if not a little strange, in a game that so often, as in literally every other time, treats its characters and their struggles with respect and the weight it deserves and needs, to have Bernadetta in particular have all her shit be so heavy-handedly played comedically.
Because it's clearly supposed to be funny and "haha isn't she so weird and quirky and terribly socially awkward". (They literally play the haha funny support music for a Solid 70% of her c-supports you cannot make this shit up it is Not reading into it it is Just the intended tone.)
It's weird. It's jarring. It's exceptionally Not funny. And it does an exceptional disservice to Bernadetta's character because when they actually let her be a person and talk about her problems, she's pretty damn solid. (Like I think some parts of her Dorothea C and her Linhardt C were really good. Oh and also Petra her C with Petra was good. Probably the most consistently good one so far, which is really interesting considering the subject matter of that convo.) But holy shit does the game not give her the same respect as they do every other character and it's. kinda weird at best.
