Xanth's StancesYuwen - Xanth's already made up her mind that she's joining him as he's the only one around here with the slightest clue of what's going on and has a penchant for heroics, which is regrettably what she needs right now. Not to mention he already tried to help Kaor, saved her own little behind, and has a face for comedy. Xanth likes laughing! 8/10, charmed.
Namari - OK, sure, she didn't
know that Xanth needed the elder tengu alive for a bit longer, but it's hard not to hold a grudge -
especially because she looks like a noble. Just a big, fat, jiggling coin pouch - a necessary evil for Xanth's own benefit. Also everything she's ever overheard her say has been rude. 3/10, pockets well guarded.
Suiken - Boring ethics lecturer. Thankfully there are others in the group less ethical than she so he's not on her case yet. Xanth definitely doesn't get it. Other than that, her impression is that he's a good oni with a real wisdom about him, and Xanth is young and wise words are easy to dismiss. 6.5/10, you're from another time, grandpa.
Sunaarashi - Sunaarashi has neither said or done anything since Xanth has been in contact with him. Right now he's just part of the scenery for her.
Takai - Wonderful! The only one that stuck around for her when she was upset after the boss fight and he's a good shot, it's nice to have back up. Did try to stop her from murdering once but completely made up for it by promising to find Kaor. 9/10, tail envy.
Lo-Muna -
https://youtu.be/vBk0P27QGmc 10/10, beastmen are the best people.
Ginchiyo - Her eating habits seem instinctual, like Kaor's, but she's...
human. Lots of unresolved drama there, flashbacks galore. Xanth would rather not get involved in it. Time to prove that she's not the weakest in this pack before this human gets any weird ideas. 4/10, hungry hungry human.
Yamato - Standoffish dude, probably 'cos of the massive sunburn - oh wait he's got wings. Talks violence and stuck in the hole. 6/10, smile!
Samyan - RUDE. Probably going to have to put up with a lot of “haha, you can’t talk” jokes from her. Maybe it's malice or maybe she's a moron. 1/10, read the room.
Ren - Classic mercenary at first glance, the kind she's seen around a lot in her circles, but has a firm grip on morality and ideals and is ready to punt you into the sky if you don't meet them. Xanth reckons she could take him. 7/10, comforting presence.
Kaor - Best friend. Xanth is well aware that Kaor considered her something small to care for and often struggled to get respect from her as a grown ass woman. Sometimes she felt more of a mother to Kaor despite Kaor's babying of her. She was Xanth’s mouth and though a common source of Xanth's frustrations was the bearwoman constantly censoring her, without her, she's at a loss for words. 11/10, oh my fucking god she's fucking dead
Dog - 1000000000/10, good boy.
