#I'm still more partial to Rachael Lillis' Misty because that was special but she seems to do a good job!

So any opinions or thoughts on Reba Bubr? She played Jill, Farina and Ivy btw.
Outside of that, she plays Little Mermaid in the Mary Skelter series (I just downloaded the game just recently btw)
I had to look her up because I actually never summoned for Jill or Farina. Jill never struck my interest even though I'm sure she's a great character, and Farina... Mehhhh, I'm not a fan of the "money-hungry" characters. Anna's mostly the exception, but Farina and Rennac are characters like that I don't like. Though she also plays Nikaido in the English dub of Dorohedoro, nice! And... also apparently that character from the famous "Hi Margaret, I hope this email blows your tits clean off" Tumblr post.
But let's talk about her FEH characters, Jill and Farina.
Ok so... Her performance for Farina isn't BAD, but holy shit I can't stand listening to her voice. That's not her fault though! It fits the character really well, and she's got that snooty "You can't afford me" kind of tone. I just think it's a personal sensory thing for me, so I'm honestly not docking her score on that. It's a good voice, and it's definitely someone loud to balance out Fiora and Florina being lower-energy. Interesting that it's the middle sister who's the loud one. Jill... She's got a nice and interesting voice for Jill, somewhat of a rasp and a deeper tone. And her lines about her dad and Mist are very well-delivered. Actually, I think this is a case of great voice, but mis-matched art. Asatani Tomoyo's artwork for Jill is... too lacking and basic in the face. That kind of voice for Jill could have benefited better from an artist like Clover.K, Kibayashi Senri (Altena's artist), or Niji Hayashi. Anyways, Reba does a great job playing Jill, especially in the critical lines.
I think she's a good pick for both characters, and like I said, I don't fault her for the Farina voice being too grating.
Now, there's a very good range between her Farina voice and her Jill voice. I haven't heard her Ivy voice yet so when Ivy gets added to FEH (Which I've got a good feeling that Elusia will be the next Engage banner, we'll see!), but I have a feeling it's definitely drastically different from her Farina voice, lol.
Overall, I'll put Reba at an 8/10 to a 9/10. It's more of a matter of both Jill and Farina not having alts and Ivy not being added yet, so the content to observe and score her by is small. But she does a good job.
