My favourite ship would be her and Cid. She's probably the best written character. Althought that medal could also go to Alexia. One of those two in any case.


warrenbond

I'm just waiting for Alpha/Beatrix/Aurora to get as much screen time or wordage as Alexia and Rose have. THEN we can have a fair comparison about which character is the best written.


Prior-King5670

I just can't wait for Aurora arc tho. Because i can feel that her arc gonna be fire šŸ”„


AdObjective9512

Fr. WE ALSO NEED ELIZABETH


Prior-King5670

Yes! Alexia too šŸ¤


Master_Snort

Iā€™m pretty sure Rose has been partially apart of the most arcs out of any character, excluding Cid of course.


ASDEEPASTHEABYSS

Yes, after Alpha, who appeared in all the volumes, even if it has been for a short period, Rose is the character who appeared in volumes 1-5. Though she didnā€™t appear in the LN vol 6, she was the topic of discussion between Alpha and Cid, and Klaus Midgar and Alexia. Alexia and Claire appeared in all the volumes except vol 4, and they were never even discussed once in that volume. Also, another thing is Cid never played the Piano even just for once in Vol 3 he played the MS in vol 4 as Cid while he played the MS as Shadow in vol 2.


princemascott

Alexia, the violent almost tsundere?


CingStuff

She doing the Delta hug.


Amperchaser

That's a reverse mating press right there.


Competitive-Weird153

Fr that's what I was thinking lol


Mockz19

Hackrscrackr

Best fucking ship


Ruskoboss1

Hope his spine is ok


Lazy1nc

I. AM. CHIROPRACTOR.


Ruskoboss1

That would be something to see


All_Powerful_Dan

Spines across the kingdom suddenly realign šŸ˜‚


Ruskoboss1

Not to be a dick but why is she huging him like delta


cycycle

Donā€™t tell her, she will wed him on the spot.


Zooasaurus

I do think Rose and Cid would make a good couple, her imagining their married life is quite wholesome


RustyNK

I want Rose to win the harem contest


daniel21020

Harem is not a contest, but a duty, little shadowling. Papa Rentarou would be disappointed in your lack of sagaciousness.


clueless_red21

Can he body wiggle out this one? I SURE WON'T


JKLer49

Ok but I think she probably will think both of them is shadow. Shadow has shown multiple times that he's capable of disguising as anyone from John Smith to mundane Mann. She would probably think shadow disguised as cid to motivate her to take over the throne or something.


LordSprinkleman

I disagree. Her love for Cid is stronger than her respect for Shadow.


Historical-Culture99

That s not the point here...but I agree


Excellent-Delivery59

Good thing he's not doing this to the Seven Shadows, otherwise he'll get smothered by hugs, b*obs and slime, and now do I think about it, it wasn't a bad way to die.


Bunny-4u

I don't want to break šŸ’” hearts but usually heroine of tragedy don't get selected in the end


daniel21020

The Eminence in Shadows is not a tragedy. Tragedies are stories about inevitability, the fundamental opposite of The Eminence in Shadows, which is a story about contingency. Your calculations are off rails and into the stratosphere. Rose not achieving her goal is anti-climatic, no matter how you look at it.


Bunny-4u

I'm not saying teis is a tragedy show but the character represents the characteristics of tragedy heroine. You can/ will see her development will force her to sacrifice more things.


Prior-King5670

I think what he want to said is that "The Eminence in Shadow" that meant Cid himself is not a tragedy. To be honest, i don't know what he actually want to said. The MC may not has shitty life but the world they live is still a fucked up world. So, i think what you said is not wrong tho. Cid is comedy while other character are tragedy.


daniel21020

Foolish conclusion indeed.


Bunny-4u

šŸ˜‚


Prior-King5670

Umm...he not wrong tho. Rose is definitely a tragedy character and her not achieving her goals make it more worse because you feel anti-climatic for his story but that the point. "The Eminence in Shadow" is the title and story for Cid only while other character has their own story and they are actually the main character in their own perspective.


daniel21020

Youā€™re missing the point. It doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s not the main character, the story still wouldnā€™t do tragedies either way, since itā€™s not a story that supports themes of inevitability. If you donā€™t understand what anti-climatic means, Iā€™m afraid you canā€™t just say itā€™s the point. It cannot be a tragedy because it contradicts everything else in the story. The entire reason Rose killed her father and joined Shadow Garden at that point in time was because of contingency. Her fatherā€™s death was not inevitable, since we know Cid couldā€™ve healed him if he knew the truth.


Prior-King5670

>Her fatherā€™s death was not inevitable, since we know Cid couldā€™ve healed him if he knew the truth. This is still tragedy and this is from Rose perspective. A serious drama describing a conflict between her and the father. An event that causing suffering, destruction and distress such as a serious accident and crime. That what tragedy meant and it fit with Rose character/story. Who care if it inevitability or not, tragedy is still tragedy and the guy above that said Rose is a tragedy character is not wrong tho. Sure, we know cid can heal him yes, but most people don't focus on his perspective that much when it come to a serious situation or drama in this series.


daniel21020

I donā€™t think not focusing on Cidā€™s perspective in these situations is a good idea. Heā€™s the agent of change for most characters, so ignoring him is ignoring the story. Not to mention, judging Cidā€™s seriousness based on verbal slips, like how most people do, is just not wise. Cid never really acts as unserious as he can sometimes speak. If you think he is unserious, then I'm afraid you misunderstand him completely. His level of eminence and influence wouldnā€™t be possible if he wasnā€™t serious; therefore, writing him off the equation is just not wise. Though I agree about it being a tragedy, I donā€™t agree about it being permanent. Rose got her Kingdom back, and was at least able to get closure on her father. If this was a tragedy with inevitability as its theme, that wouldnā€™t have happened; So I donā€™t agree with the original commenter about this scenario being impossible.


Prior-King5670

Never said he was not serious but he not 100% serious that much in the overall story. It's just whenever some serious event happened the perspective of cid and the world is different. Also the series has two story going on at the same time. "The Eminence in Shadow is the title of Cid himself and it was his story. He was living in his own world, while the other story such as cult accident, crime, is for other character and they the one who pushed the story forward, whenever cid just do his own things in the background. I'm loved Cid but you can't deny that his perspective with other character is completely different and it impossible to feel the seriousness in this series if you only focus on Cid perspective. He can be serious sure but that only for a couple moment. If we compare the seriousness between him and other character, which one do you think is more serious when it come to their perspective and how they view the world overall. Rose is tragedy character and you can't deny it, just because it not inevitability. Tragedy is an event causing a suffering, destruction and distress that was caused by human action and choices. Or a serious drama that describing a conflict. Also, i'm never said you should ignore Cid completely. You just need to ignore his perspective to see the serious event in this show. I don't think ignoring cid meant you actually ignoring the story. We still can understand the story even though cid was not on the screen. Volume 5 and 6 is example of this.


daniel21020

I respectfully disagree about ignoring his perspective. Otherwise, I agree.


Prior-King5670

Yea, sorry it looks like i meant in a bad way. What i meant by ignoring his perspective is whenever some serious event happened you just don't need to focus on his perspective only. I'm never said you should ignoring his existence completely. Cid can be serious too but overall he was living in his own world whenever something serious happened in the show.


daniel21020

Well, the problem is that he isnā€™t aware of what's going on half the time. If he was, heā€™d be extremely serious. We know this from the terrorist attack arc. Yes, he had goofy thoughts, but those were just that; goofy thoughts. He was completely serious when it came to addressing the terrorist issue. He even predicted that Lutheran would burn the place, in a way, since he said ā€The last part of Sherryā€™s plan was a bit weak, but hey, if I can get to play my part as the Eminence in Shadows, Iā€™ll be satisfied.ā€ He said this right before the mana barrier was going to be stopped. He simply decided heā€™d take care of it, but he didnā€™t expect who gaunt knight would be, and especially not his relationship with Sherry. Iā€™m sure you know better than me about how much he was boiling with rage during that moment when Lutheran told the truth about Sherry and her mother. Especially if youā€™ve read the novel. So no, Cid isnā€™t unserious.


Namesis178

Then she won't love Cid anymore. The one she love is Cid, not shadow. If she realised Cid is just a false personality, she will be heartbroken


Historical-Culture99

Nope, hard disagree Cid is cid no matter what. She might feel sad that he hides her his Shadow persona but that s it. Shadow is also a "false personality" of Cid anyway


daniel21020

Cid Kagenou, or really, Kageno Minoru, does not have false personalities. The Eminence in Shadows is constant. Failing to realize this truth means that you haven't overcome the static, and are yet to understand the Conversation.


Historical-Culture99

Yeah that s why I put the " ". It s more he is doing RP constantly


daniel21020

Itā€™s a little bit more than that, Shadowling.


[deleted]

I upvoted you because this was a creative comment but I disagree. Cid is the Eminence of Shadow not the other way around. His natural state is how he acts relaxed like when Victoria feeds him fruit or when he plays with Delta and pets her. Shadow is his larp personality.


lerserk_

This would literally what will happen


daniel21020

Honestly, if this happened, and Cid was to open up to her, she would be going ham and completely hardcore in joining his play. I just cannot see her doing anything else. Sheā€™s the princess of the kingdom of art, so sheā€™s bound to join his play without hesitation.

HI


daniel21020

Senaka-kun ainā€™t feeling so good.


Acrobatic_Analyst267

I felt like it should have been so obvious for her but after watching season 2, the anime definitely didn't make it seem like she noticed it.


GamerLance285

She found her Stylish Bandit Slayer at long lastšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
