#leop volcano princess round3

So this was actually kind of a tough choice, I mean... nevermind that I went back for both anyway. But I'm considering Asha's "canon" end that she became a Painter and married Benson, the painter. Honestly it just felt the cutest, but ironically for all the art classes and a pretty hefty amount of time spent painting by the lake to keep her extremely balanced stats even, she never actually completed a whole lot of paintings. There's actually a few achievements for total painting count in one run, and she didn't break into either of them.

My close runner up as the only other 4 star ending available that I hadn't already done once, was that she becomes a successful Entrepreneur while married to Claude, the knights academy professor. It is rather cute and feels like a good brainy strategically minded pair --and I do love her Entrepreneur outfit-- but all in all not my favorite of the Lords/Ladies endings.

I do regret a little that Lebsa was the first marriage, because she had the slimmest pickings of endings (also super mad I didn't think so save on the final day of the first game, so I can't farm it for other endings) but she does appear to have a special alternate romance ending, so maybe I'll aim for that next time and opt for a stronger more focused soldier build than what I could scrape together on my first play thru.

I do really need to get better about committing to over specialization, because in every case I give in to wanting to even out the other stats once my top one hits that diminishing returns curve.

It is only just sinking in with me how funny it is that the gallery mode collects rejection letters from all the second place romance options. Like it actively encourages completionists to reject everyone.

Wow, Asha was a lot more of an all-rounder than I'd realized. But it's a real-master-of-none sorta spread... Kinda disappointed I don't seem to have qualified for any of the shady backalley endings considering I think there's at least two of them, one good one bad. We did manage to clear that whole side dungeon thing.

alright damn no i lied again... I did start a new game but I don't have time to go anywhere in it. But daughter #3's name is Asha, after the Asha Patera on Io. After this one I'm all out of good space volcano names tho, so I'll have to find some new naming gimmick...
