#I get why there's so little content for Avlora in-game due to the whole ''last recruit of the golden route'' thing but like

Avlora for the ask meme?

How I feel about this character LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER, she is so cool and has such an interesting character arc in the game. I remember when she first showed up I knew she was going to be some sort of powerful boss-type character, probably not a final boss, but still high-ranked, and I was taken by how cool her visual design was bc it's so rare to come across 1) Woman as a high-ranking antagonist, and 2) She's got full armor and it doesn't have weird boob-cups. Avlora was terrifying to face in battle too, enough that I managed to yeet myself off the golden route path immediately bc I decided setting a house on fire was better than trying to take her head-on (it was my first run, so I didn't know I had yeeted myself off the golden route, but still). Which made seeing her switch her allegiance to Cordelia, and then later become recruitable (under the right circumstances) absolutely unexpected and so interesting to see, like, I did not predict her character arc's trajectory, but in a good way. Her post-recruitment's kinda wild too bc like, here's the most feared general of Aesfrost's army, now hanging out with the esteemed weirdos of House Wolffort, including but not limited to: Cordelia herself, Roland (who still hates her), Maxwell (wasn't he supposed to be dead?), her former mentor Groma?, why are Norzelia's most notorious thieves here, is that a talking barrel? One of these days I really wanna do a short comic series about Avlora meeting the rest of the playable characters, just because the interactions would range from very heartfelt or awkward, to outright silly.

All the people I ship romantically with this character Anna, and I will be able to expand on this idea one day. I'm partial to Avlora x Maxwell as well, although it's not my main or favorite ship for TriStrat, and I prefer exploring them as a platonic duo moreso than romantic.

My non-romantic OTP for this character Love her relationship with Cordelia, her enemies-to-incredibly-weird-coworkers arc with Hughette is interesting too. Would be really interested in seeing what Avlora's interactions/relationship with Flanagan was like; same goes for Groma. I think she and Maxwell would at leave have some sort of mutual respect for each other as well.

My unpopular opinion about this character Aside from the fact that avewell isn't my main ship for Avlora (and Avlora x Cordelia doesn't seem to be a very popular ship these days, so I don't feel like not shipping them is unpopular per se), I don't really think I have any outstanding hot takes on Avlora.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. Would have loved to see more interactions between Avlora and the others like, how would reconnecting with Groma go? How does Flanagan react to his old coworker showing up--and likewise, how does Avlora react to seeing her former fellow soldier? How do things go over with Maxwell after Avlora joins House Wolffort? Does Avlora have any particular feelings towards Frederica, or Geela? Really, there's potential for an endless number of interesting interactions I think. Would have liked a bit more information about the whole "Svarog took Avlora in" bit of information too like, exactly what was her relationship with Svarog like? And what of Dragan? So many potential avenues to explore...
