I put my reply in drafts to avoid putting my thumb on the scale, but you're right, honestly! I do love Alice and Faren, but of the primary human BFFs, Petra is just leagues ahead of Faren and Quinn in competence and intelligence and resourcefulness and good sense. Faren and Quinn are loyal, basically well-meaning dumbasses (though Faren is a far more entertaining one with more development, of course!), and meanwhile Petra shows up and is like ... I can take care of myself, my pal Ms. Timber is a giant stick I habitually carry to club rowdy customers with, and why are you lecturing me about getting into fights when you're the one who just got out of the hospital? Good for her, honestly.

And later on she manages to get pies to the Pact troops in Orr!

Silly poll for the Guild Wars 2 crowd:

#petra outclasses faren and quinn to such a degree in terms of being actually helpful and smart and cool that it's kind of hilarious #you can fight alongside a silly fop you have to protect or an absolute fool who can't see the incredibly obvious writing on the wall #or the brave and resourceful and cute tavern keeper with a giant stick #(h/e my personal fave is alice. at first i was like 'oh shit is this a whole parody of genuinely poverty-stricken leftist revolutionaries'#and to some degree but she has pretty solid reasons for her convictions! there /are/ a lot of systematic problems with kryta #and she's the one the street pc had talked to before she left and is the one who sees through her trickery now #and alice ditching pete when she realizes he's not in it for the revolution and extricating herself from the gang to fight oppression?#goodforher.jpeg #THAT SAID she's not as central as quinn despite being better in every way lol. so in a quinn - petra - faren match-up there's no contest)#rosy opal commander #ascalonian grudgeblog #poll nonsense #anghraine's gaming #petra #faren #quinn #riot alice
