Well, I really do like this.
I'll give reasons why I think whatever. Also feel free to rate my own characters in your own thoughts. c:
Cynder: +5
----Reason----
Okay, here we go.... this'll be interesting.
I think Cynder is 100% good because of her childlike innocence. Like, she had a dark side. But in the reality of it, the reason she did the bad things- the reason she has a bit of a darker side is because of her own confusion.
All Cynder wants to be is loved. She really has no one in her life. Her family hated her, and she was asked to kill the only ones who really were nice to her.
In that way, I think she's very underestimated in how her heart really is. She has no malicious intents against anyone. She's even made it clear she wants to be friends with Crouch.
In her heart of Hearts, she is a truly good woman- just one who's very confused. And who's never known better to follow until now.
She's not evil- she's human.
Fuin: -4.5
----Reason----
Okay, Fuin's another hard one.
Though he was a very set-to-be-100%-bad sort of character, in the end it really seemed that though he was dark, he had a different purpose.
No one really knew Fuin's past, and I have no intentions on sharing it even now. But what I can say is that- often enough, a deep desire for affection and even what seems to be a small thing like bullying can really shape a character.
In the end, Fuin was just overcome by desire- it turned him lustful for pleasure and riches.
Finding Amaya softened him, making him -4.5- he was dark... but there was light somewhere in him.
Rudy- +4.5
---Reason---
Rudy's will be a bit shorter, just because he really wasn't around for long.
Pretty much, he was just a boy. In all words, he was human. Though it wasn't really shown, he was willing to do what was possible to get what he wanted- which even changed his thoughts a bit about the death eaters.
Ged- +3.5
---Reason---
Another short one-
Ged is a +3.5 because he's an adult. He's wise and understanding, but then again because of his family, where he's from what he does- he understands this as both a threat and a good thing.
Though he wants to coexist, he realizes he can't- therefore, he's willing to get rid of the people in his way.
Descole- 0 (neutral)
---Reason---
Descole is neutral.
Again, he's more of an innocent character who's only known one thing all his life.
Desire and sorrow is pretty much all that lived in him. He didn't have anything else but Clare. His heart hardened because of a person he trusted taking her instead of letting him have her.
And in a way, it's a very jealous cycle. You love someone, and the one you trust takes them. You find someone else, you love someone, the other breaks your trust etc.
He's afraid to love. Afraid to let out his true self to anyone currently besides Cayden.
He doesn't understand that people can love, because all he's known is hurt and death. In this way, he's a very sensitive person.
And, he's probably the most human.
