#I love characters who are kind and gentle in very hostile environments and vice versa.

How would mc’s family and ros treat a romanced mc who is kind and merciful? Basically they wouldn’t even hurt a fly

This is cute :)

RO(s):

Finny: Finny is a hot head and if he thinks the MC is being too kind and gentle towards people who deserve it- prepare for a shouting match or some very vocal disagreements with him. He'll wilt when push comes to shove and respect the MC's wishes, but his guard will always be up for them.

Thea: She'll call the MC an idiot to their face, but will want them to never change. She's lil jaded, she believes people will aways take kindness and mercy for granted.

Linnet: She'll respect MC(s) who are kind and merciful in the face of adversity. She thinks those traits very admirable in a person. She'll want to try an emulate that behaviour herself and feel bad when she can't :( But she isnt a doormat, she'll kindly voice any disagreements she has over mercy choices. She'll worry about being the more tougher and ruthless partner of the two.

Medea: Will find it as endearing and it makes her lil heart very soft for the MC. That being said, if the people the MC spared magically died of a tragic accident. Oh well. What a shame. Such a coincidence!

Helios: Tease and bully. Bully. Bully. Bully. Not maliciously, of course. Helios likes getting a rise out of people. If Helios really disagrees with a mercy choice, they'll openly be vocal/mocking spiteful about that decision. Will challenge the MC's ideal and morals. Will kill people/enemies behind MC's back.

Eirik: Will think the MC is a fool for being merciful. Will be skeptical and thinks it's a front. But once he realizes that it isn't, will be disarmed and will start make the tougher and less kind calls if he sincerely believes the situation calls for it.

Family:

Alberich: He'll be annoyed at MCs that are merciful to a fault or are kind to their enemies. He'll find those traits endearing, of course, but he'll start having people in the background making sure that the MC won't be taken advantaged of. Would probably find a way to use MC's kindness and mercy to trick enemies into a false sense of security.

Sieghardt: Must protect at all cost. Will do things on MC's behalf if it means they're safe from threats. He'll want to the MC to preserve the kinder/gentler aspects of their personality as much as possible.

Maeve(The Empress): She's gonna start getting grey hairs. 😭 Omg. She loves her bby she really does, but kind/merciful MC(s) are easy to be taken advantage of and she'll be so worried what'll happen if she or their brother's aren't there to protect them. I wouldn't be surprised if that'll cause her to be more stern and cold towards gentle MC(s) to correct that behaviour when they make decisions that will get them hurt.
