Shiro's a good guy, probably one of the best kids in this game. They're not really a good lot but Shiro manages to be better than a lot of 1st gens, including his dad.

Tae, you showing off Heirs of Fates? It's pretty interesting but I'd understand if you were burnt out on FE after Rev.

Never played BR/Rev, but Shiro seems to be a pretty fun character from what I've read.

Going by the Japanese popularity poll, Shiro is the most popular Hoshido kid. As well he should be! He's also amazing from a game play standpoint, pretty much regardless of who his mother is.

You see this hole here? Peek through it, and then rotate the whole thing.



Cotton and Silk. This is some DBZ levels of puns.





Selkie's one of those kids that are only slightly affected by their mother's hair, as you see the small purple strand.

No good. It's gone. No fair, flying and stuff.
Guess I'll just have to learn to fly too. Doesn't sound too hard. I'll just find the tallest tree around here and jump.
Hmm? What's that glowy doorway? Hello? Anyone home? HELLO? ANYONE? Huh, nothing.



Did Kaden leave her with servants like the others? Who knows, this is like 50/50 on them actually saying anything about it.

*Selkie goes through the portal*



Eeeew. What's THAT smell?



Oooh! Where? Oh, you mean me.

You know, Selkie is totally believable as Corrine's daughter.

Must be my lucky day. I can sell a kitsune for a fortune. Dead or alive too, so I might as well make this easy. Dead will be fine.
(Hmm? What does "selling" mean? Or this "dead" thing? Weird.)
(Whatever it is, sounds like fun.) Hey, let's play, mister. And do I smell more of your friends in the wind? I do! Let's ALL play!
Everyone! We've got it surrounded! Keep our circle tight—don't let it escape!

*Meanwhile*



Hayato is at least an actual Kaden support.

Every time I go to her Deeprealm, my daughter is even more amazing!
Is that so? And you say she's a kitsune too?
Sure thing. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree either—her fur's just like mine. Now it's probably even glossier than the last time I saw her!



Don't lay a finger on her. Or else. Which I mean in the worst way possible.

Ooookay, him being super protective dad is weird.

You're kidding, right? I know people sometimes hunt your kind. But you do realize that I'm a friend, don't you?



Need a hand? Oh, wait. You're probably not the sort that I should help.
Another one?!
Another what—a kitsune, here in these woods? By any chance, you don't mean a kitsune girl, do you? Looks like me? Stunning fur? Twinkle in the eye?
What?! Er, yeah. More or less.



You intend to put your filthy paws on my daughter. I guess it's time I show you all just what I mean by OR ELSE.





This is a bit familiar: Kid lost and surrounded by the enemy as I try to get the father to talk to the NPC.

This one's a little safer since she's surrounded by Archers and they don't move, also this ain't pure desert.

Considering she's at least, what, a quarter dragon, this is slightly less idiotic than it would normally be.

That said... yeah. Wow. She's definitely her mother's daughter. Cynthia looks like a Rhodes scholar in comparison.

On the flip side, you have mountains surrounding Selkie that still slow everyone else down outside of fliers and a lot of bottlenecks. Thankfully, the enemies tend to be a little more focused on your units instead of Selkie.

I feel vindicated. I suggested Corrine knowing very little about the kids and just figured a human/dragon/kitsune hybrid prince or princess was only appropriate for the setting.

In any case, I'm sure this whole situation with the Kabuki dancer can be settled peacefully, right?

I'm going to make a pretty good guess that Nyx isn't surviving the next elimination round.



PSkill: Playthings-After the start of the user’s Turn, all enemies that are adjacent to the user have their HP reduced by 5

Selkie is a lot easier than Shiro to keep alive for a couple reasons. First, the top half of the map is just a bunch of archers that don't move. Period. She'll attack each archer before moving on to Daichi, which means if left alone, she'll be there in like 8 turns.



Fuga shows off his elementary school toy he found in someone's bin. The fact that he can crit with it is hilarious yet scary.



Hayato eliminates the Master Ninja and gains everything but skill and speed on his level. His 13 Skill is actually becoming a problem.

I sent Keaton and Benny to fend off and bait the clutter of enemies in the nearby area.



Selkie can (un)fortunately solo her way through the collection of archers, which is certainly an interesting twist to race for her rescue.



The difficulty of this map is the initial batch of enemies on the right and the approaching enemies from the upper left side. It's a mission that solves itself very quickly with no tricks. Not even Dragon Veins.



Dwyer yoinks Selkie out of her range massacre, while Saizo stretches his arms after many, many missions on the bench. He rewards himself with a near perfect level for 20, only missing out on resistance.



Setsuna, this isn't funny anymore.



thefuq?



Hmm, I don't think Shiro's gonna cast spells anymore.



Daddy! You've come to play too?
Huh? These people aren't playing. And you musn't play with them. Not now. Not ever. Nuh-uh. No way.
Boooo... Why not? And after I went to all the trouble of rounding them up for a game! *grumble grumble*
Hmm, what was that again? And where did you pick up such ugly words?

Wait, which words were ugly

Never mind, Daughter. Just listen. These men want your fur.



How can they-? Oh. I get it.

Those big ears let out all the brain or something?

Lemme at 'em. Or, wait...I've got a game for you, Daughter. It's called Hunt the Humans.
Thanks, Daddy! Should be fun!



Saizo, did you eat all the good stats



Selkie turns into a Nine-Tails. Finally an easy decision.



What the hell is going on



Benny stands in front to be a wall against the last actual threat. He also gains a good level, breaking the mini-curse.



Hana might actually reach 20 strength before level 5.

This is an actual accomplishment considering Selkie was added to the pile of under-18 strength club.



Saizo changed into a Dread Fighter because I forgot to buy a Master Seal. 17 speed ninja, whoo. Making Laslow look like the Flash in comparison.



Literally none of these Snipers move. So let's skip to the end.

Level Ups

Selkie-SPD/LCk/DEF

Hayato-SPD/LCK

Man, this mission kinda sucked for me huh.



I'm pretty sure we faced his exact face model before in Conquest....



The only notable thing about him is that he has 53 HP. The rest? Uh....barely better than a level 20, let alone a level 34.



The rare triple zero



At least he gave up a full level's worth of EXP



Good god, Setsuna/Niles/Selkie are all playing chicken on who reaches 18 strength first



Hmm. Selkie, you do realize that they were trying to catch you, right?
Yup! It was like tag!
Whoa, Daughter. It really wasn't. But I'm just glad you're safe.
Hey, hey, Daddy? Are all of your battles like this?
Hm? Yeah, pretty much.



What? No, you're not.
Wheee! Yes, I am! This is going to be way more fun that being stuck at home.
Battles aren't fun and games, Selkie. They're sad and deadly.
They are?
I'm sorry, Daddy. I guess I just got carried away.
Nope. No need to apologize. Just as long as you understand.
You know, since you and your friends saved me... I need to return the favor. That's the right thing to do, isn't it?



Seriously could've fooled me that Selkie didn't pick up Corrine's...ideals.

Then it's settled. I can play with your friends from now on!
Huh? I didn't say you could come.
I guess they would like to play you though. Not too rough now!
I'll do my best, Daddy!

For those that don't know, Selkie's voice actress is the same as Hinoka and Peri. The exact same Peri laugh.

Selkie is just like daddy, high speed and resistance with little else. Her PSkill is kinda meh, considering it's conditional for little payoff since she doesn't want to be in the middle of a fray.

The most notable thing about Selkie besides having both Dragon and Beast weakness is the ability to change into a Nohrian Princess. Honestly, she's pretty good in either class as Nine-Tails really drags her non-speed/resistance stats.

OK! Then let me have that hug! Don't hold back, Daddy!

I've always found Selkie a lot more reliable than Kaden, statwise, regardless of who her mother is. She's on her own wavelength but at least she didn't grate on me, and some of her supports were surprisingly good.
