42- Ein Selnate

Yeah ok she has survived long enough in this list. She's barely a character, despite her massive importance. Sort of like Alicia.

She is quite interesting in the few times she appears in, though. She has this maniac demeanor, a good person who has seen shit and doesn't want to show her goodness easily. She is not exactly nice to Kevin when giving him the Dominion rank, and she laughs when she wants to change his title. Still, she somehow makes it seems like she cares (unlike say, Lechter).

There is also the carnelia book, which I'm not sure if I'm supposed to count since it's like in-universe fanfiction. She's pretty badass in it, though.

41- Mary

They gave another orphanage kid a character arc! And it's more interesting than Clem's!. That says more about Clem, though.

Mary is the responsible one, the one who follows rules and keeps the other kids behaving. But because she is also a kid, she lacks self-awareness to realize when she's being a hypocrite about it. So she judges others whiole still dreaming of the happiness stone and ends up straying from the group because of it. It's a nice twist that is done well.

She is still not particularly likable, though.

40- Cid

He appears Leiston and a door or two but for my life I can't remember anything he says.

Apparently he's got promoted again, though? Cid has the fastest career in Zemuria.

39 - Rufina

What? The main villain of an entire game so low?

Yeah but like, Rufina is not the villain. The villain is Anima Mundi, who is... a thing... not a character. Rufina is someone who died a long time ago, appears in like 3 flashbacks, and also has a sweet sequence at the end of the game that leaves it unclear whether it's really her or not. And she basically informs Kevin he has to kill her, tells him he has to do it alone (why, exactly?) and doesn't react when Ries decides to join.

The chocolate scene was pretty cool, though.

38- Erika

I wish I could say I like Erika because she was opposing the Agategate. But that's a trap. She is not opposing it, she is helping support it because she is only opposing it as a slapstick comic relief character. She is the foil to make the viewer think "oh look at Erika trying to stop Agate from dating her little daughter again. That's so funny!" Instead of maybe having a heartfelt conversation with Tita, or her father, or her husband, or Agate himself to explain why the later shouldn't be spending so much time alone with Tita. So the joke falls flat to me. It does work a little in the first half of the door, because we haven't seen the implications fully yet, but in the second I just want it to end.

Erika does add other things to the table, though. Because her personality extends to anyone sheinteracts with. Her rivarly with her dad is legit funny. And her interaction with Kevin is great. How many people in the series have told Prof. Russel he was not smart and actually had their own accomplishments to back it up? Only Erika can do that.

37- Sieg

Look at all those losers who lost to the bird. Bask at their mediocrity.

36- Hans

He is not particularly good at catching Lechter.

35 - Kurt

"By my arts, I will be the only Sky character to lose playable status between a game and the next in the same arc!"

Which was the only thing I was going to say, but then I remembered he's pretty cool in the Schera door. Not just by beating up bad guys, but also she he nonchalantly tells her to do her fucking job. That's not much, but from a character I already enjoyed before and wanted to see more of, and who was so far down in the list, it's something.

Also, Not Kurt decided to meditate to check whether he had a sense of self or not. Then realized he didn't! That's hilarious.

34- Luciola

33- Don

He is bad at finance! That's a random fact you didn't need to know about Don. And now you do. It adds to the nice dynamic of how the Capua trio have qualities that make up for each other's weaknesses. He should have left the finance to Josettem, because apparently she is good at it too!

I don't know how to use this information in this list, though, so I'm leaving Don where he is.

32- Walter

31- Beaublanc

He gets an entire door. But the way is done is so cryptic is leaves more questions than answers. Also is it just me or they picked the most boring option of the 3 to be Beaublanc's real past? I liked the misunderstood artist more. Yeah sorry that isn't enough to jump tiers.

Actually a Bad Character Tier

49- Lechter
50- Josette

Hmm Low Tier ended up being big, but I guess it's just that what I call Low Tier are some pretty well done characters oversall, who just couldn't get more screentime because not everyone can, and the bigger a series gets the more of those characters you have.
