Fairy Land: Mercedes

I absolutely LOVE Mercedes, haha. She is my favorite character in Odin Sphere so far! She's so fun to use, with her Riblam shooting enemies from afar. I completed her book just now, and I was sad that she didn't get an ending quite like Gwendolyn or Cornelius. Haha, I was sorta right about the Mercedes and Ingway romance thing! I don't think it's going to end up happening though, poor Mercedes, she's the only one that doesn't have a lover. Haha, if Ingway didn't become so evil, then perhaps they would have had a future together. Oh well, she was the very first on screen kiss in Odin Sphere technically. Enough of that though! I absolutely love Mercedes' story, it really shows how much she grows from an immature Fairy Princess to the great Fairy Queen of Ringford. It really shows her character growth, and I truly love it when it does, it makes me feel like I grew up with the characters. I'm sad that her book ended though, I won't be able to play as her again until after Velvet's book. I'm on Oswald's right now, and hopefully, I will enjoy his as much as I enjoyed the others'. I don't like him so much right now, he killed Hindel for Melvin, whom I absolutely despise! Mercedes should have killed him when she had the chance. Seriously, I don't know for sure if he really died or not in Mercedes' book, maybe I'll find out in Oswald's. I find it so interesting how all the characters' stories intertwine though. Mercedes, not so much. Mostly with Oswald, but in Gwendolyn's and Cornelius' books they fight Mercedes, and that's their only connection really. Cornelius meets Mercedes before Queen Elfaria dies, while Gwendolyn meets Mercedes after Mercedes' Epilogue chapter. She lost Titrel to Gwendolyn, but Gwendolyn only wanted it back because it was a gift from Oswald. Mercedes does connect to Velvet at the same time as Cornelius too. As Cornelius fought Mercedes for Velvet. Well, I think I've rambled on a bit too much. Haha, I'll just stop here. :x
