Who is your favorite person in this game? Out of all the characters in this game, not just romancable ones.

Most definitely Virginia. She's funny and outgoing, she loves junk food (like me), and her path is just (sigh) so cute.

I could not decide between Donald and Damien. Because I can relate to Donald but Damien was sweet and then I found out he tried to kill me, but fell in love with me! I liked him even more than I did! So I can not decide.... Smile

My favorite is Big Steve. He is just so adorable. I thought that it was really sweet that he used Mr. Hoppity to say and do things that he was too shy to do.

Mine is Professor Grabiner

Hehe
You spelled his name wrong in the poll Smile

Haha. No one chose William, Damien, or Mary Sue so far!

I like Potsdam. She's definitely scheming against you; with the best intentions possible. She's definitely someone I wish I could learn more about.

most definitely grabby

Big Steve... this one is so much nuts, and difficult to meet, that I cant help: having a party and seeing his memorable outfit was the best time in the whole game ( plus, he's a coffee addict, that makes him totally a guy I could somehow get along with) In my country this kind of parties at the end of the school year don't exist. But if this where the case, I would totally have gone there with my strangest buddy, yes!

Damien second, for the reeaally complicated plot with various endings. I didn't expected that Smile

Wow! Poor Mary Sue......
But why is Grabiner so popular!? I may never know.

Yup, my favo is Grabiner to. For me there is something irresistible in making the guy that hates you to love you.

I soo agree!!!!! <3

Aya

#12 by Aya - Oct 4 2012

I agree as well, I like the challenge, although I'm not quite convinced that he hates you, I think maybe he shies away from wildseeds because of Violet. Like a type of defense mechanism to keep anyone from getting close so he doesn't run the risk of getting hurt. Grabiner is my favorite romanceable character, but he is a close second to Big Steve as far as all the characters go.

I quite liked Ellen, her attitudes regarding magic and the study thereof mirror what I think mine would likely be, and her shyness is just plain adorable at times. I also enjoyed her bookishness.

Hieronymous Grabiner for the win!! Very Happy

Ellen!

Sweet, introspective, insightful-- and her romance arc was definitely one of the most touching, in my opinion. And after playing hers, a little part of me realized that without Sue, she has NO ONE who is aware of her family situation or who can empathize with her...

...makes it very hard for me to try other paths now. Sad

(For the record, I have played with romance for Grabiner, Donald, and Damien. I tried unsuccessfully to romance Virginia, but apparently wasn't weird enough for her!)

I still want to try Virginia and Big Steve's paths, but I have yet to do so.

Potsdam is definitely enigmatic, and I would like to know more about her... but 'intrigued by' isn't the same as 'favorite character', now is it?

Honesty, after seeing this poll again I feel so sorry for Mary Sue! People, Y U NO LIKE MARY SUE?

I do that all the time on games like these becuase I love one of the characters so much, playing on someone else's path feels like cheating!

My fav character is Virginia (you may guess who I romanced Wink )

She loves food (like I do!), is weird (like...me?) and when she blushes...I think I got diabetes. It was THAT cute Very Happy

...prof. Grabiner comes as a good 2nd. I mean, who wouldn't like him? Wink

Haha, it seems poor Virginia isn't as popular as the rest...poor Virginia, she needs more love!

...and I just noticed I was the 2nd one to give Virginia a vote, heh, even Donald got more votes (albeit only one more...but still!) Surprised

( I mean, I would've thought more people would find a cute girl with good humor and a huge appetite the best character...but oh well Very Happy )

#22 by FantasyFan - Feb 22 2013

The other Virginia vote was mine - and that was ages ago. (sigh) She needs more love.

At first I thought that was because they may not be into girlxgirl (I know I am not) but then, I saw Ellen's votes. It may be because Virgina is a little pushy, rude and almost always gets her way (can you tell I am on donald's side on this matter?)

Haha, yeah, I -somehow- was able to guess that Wink

...kinda funny that you mentioned Donald...maybe because I have brothers (albeit only younger ones) that I so easily can see Virginia's point-of-view Very Happy

I'd wanna defend poor Virginia's honor, but knowing that I am completely biased (and only finding her pushyness as making her point clearly) I should probably just be silent...each to their own, I guess Smile

FantasyFan:

I could guess it was yours, but as we are discussing Virginia's personality, maybe you'd want to tell what you yourself find her so charming (if for no other reasons, try to help a fellow Virginia-who's-not-from-Virginia out? Very Happy

As a post scriptum, sorry if any quotations are off...I seem to never be able to quote right on forums ^_^"

Well for one thing, she loves food (and I love food too). For another, I like how she's not into the lovey-dovey kind of romance, how she puts just being together over acting "in love." She also shows that sexless love can still be love (that scene at the end where she admits that she's uncomfortable with sex). She's outgoing and funny and just an all around appealing character.

I like your answer! Short and right to the point!
So, still no Mary Sue fans? Y U NO like a da Mary Sue?! Why does know one like the character they play? Poor Mary! Sad

Probably no one votes for her because she's essentially a blank slate.

Adding on 'why no Mary Sue'

Because she is such a blank slate and changes based on YOUR decisions, voting for Mary Sue 1) feels a bit egotistical and 2) ...Mary Sue changes on each playthrough. (And sometimes isn't even NAMED Mary Sue!)

I mean, is my intellectual, nerdy, 'cute' Mary Sue who grows close to Ellen and romances her really the same as the sporty, loud-mouth weirdo who runs for class treasurer and runs around detention with Donald?

ark99k

#30 by ark99k - Mar 10 2013

Well, in some ways yes because in every playthrough she does not sing in public, signed up for sportsclub, does not like to get in trouble, and is not a bad person (except for that ONE Damien route). I may have missed some things, like her not acting in the play, but I think you get my point. She has some quailities that never change.

#31 by biscuit - Mar 11 2013

...and some which do. Very Happy

Anyways, right now I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing. I do like Mary Sue generally, but she's just not my favorite is all. Cookies?

#32 by ark99k - Mar 17 2013

Sorry, I just feel sorry for the people who got no votes like that guy from life class and Luke and Raven. They are people too! Well, I can't really say much because I like Donald best............. Embarassed Oh, well! Very Happy

My favorite character is Suki! She was really interesting. It's too bad that you couldn't get to learn more about her.

As for favorite romance, I can't choose between Donald and Grabiner.

Virginia for me. She was fun, funny, and sweet. She's also probably the only ace romantic option I've ever seen in a game, which is super awesome.

Donald is my absolute favorite! ^~^ He's just so adorable and I love his path the most. Although Professor Grabiner is a close second. Very Happy

Ellen. My adorable, sweet, nerdy girlfriend. I also liked Pastel a lot, and the Valentine's Day kiss was cute.

Re: Favorite character?

#37 by LadyLucyfer - Aug 3 2015

Damien. Partly because of how complex and mindscrewy he is, but also because of the ammount of fun I had playing his route. Twisted Evil

I was playing with my sister for most of it and we spent the whole route calling him Demon-senpai and making shitty puns ("Feeling kinda blue there Damien?" "Damn you are hot as hell") but still thinking he was really cute... Then he tried to eat my soul, and I just yelled at the laptop. Yeah, I got pretty into this game.

When I started getting the creepy letters I was like "Hell yeah! Be my bitch, conquer hell for me, crush my enemies and obey my every command! I basically headcannoned my character Callie as going all hell queen and just using Damien for her own ends as he used her. It was bloody hillarious.

    Okay, so I don't think he's my favorite character, but I'm writing to complain that it's so hard to turn Donald's path down. Every time I decide to romance someone else, he's around, with his smiles and his cheerfulness and his general happiness at seeing you and and I want to clamp my hands over my eyes - "Donald no I'm romancing your sister this time around" "Donald no I'm doing the demon tango this time".

    This whining brought to you by my first time choosing detention over the first exam, and Donald's parting words of "see you next week?" with a winning pose.

    Tangentially, I love how when the protagonist enters the detention room, she finds Grabiner explaining how Donald's methods for his prank were wrong; it's a subtle way of showing Donald's really good at magic, imo, to have Grabiner dispensing advice without snark. It's like a proof of respect: Grabiner knows Donald's following what he's saying. ...This makes me think that I could see a gradual friendship of sorts developing between Grabiner and Donald, actually.

    Damien wouldn't be able to suck out my soul. I don't have one. I sold it long ago.

    Runespoor:

    "Donald no I'm romancing your sister this time around" "Donald no I'm doing the demon tango this time"
    That gives me an idea. "Magical Diary Time Loops". Have the main character repeating her entire time at school over and over and over again. Then find a way to end the Time Loops. By the time the Time Loops end she has spent thousands of years in them. And her knowledge of magic is second to none.
