I wonder what sort of challenge I should try. I've done [Mostly] Solo, which is usually my, "go to," when it comes to Fire Emblem games. I beat the two on the Switch with just the MC. But I don't want to do that this time. I want to use some of the more interesting characters, but I don't really know who they would be. 1 - I always press, "Start," and skip the stories, so I don't ever get the personality of people. And 2 - I don't know what kind of, "interesting," I want. A little girl that has really high STG? Terrible units? Use only females?

I would just do a normal playthrough the first time through and save any sort of challenge run for a second playthrough when you can play Lyn's prologue story in hard mode. That lets you skip all of the forced tutorial stuff and gives you a bit more freedom.

As for what kind of run to do... any sort of solo run in FE7 is really hard to do because you're forced to bring all 3 of the main lords (Lyn, Eliwood, and Hector) in some of the later chapters, and good luck trying to protect 3 (or 2 if your solo character is one of them) underleveled lords, all of whom give you a game over if they die, with one single OP unit in those later chapters. An all-female playthrough could be interesting, and it would be easier to protect the underleveled Eliwood/Hector in the late game with a bigger squad like that, but the first two chapters in the main Eliwood story would be awful when your only female character is an archer.

Maybe try a playthrough with only the 3 main lords and no one else? Lyn is fast but frail and gets access to bows upon promotion, Hector is bulky and powerful but a bit slow and weak to magic, and Eliwood is mostly balanced and gets a horse upon promotion. The prologue (especially the last boss of it) might be a pain in the ass with just Lyn, but the main story would probably be pretty interesting to deal with.
