37. 8D I just wanted to defend Garnet, not because she needs it or that OP hasn't gotten enough abuse (she's gotten puh-len-ty, I think), but just because everyone else seems to have had their little piece of the nerd-rage pie. x3 My fandom is underrepped, dammit!

So, Garnet. No memory, very little guidance, a queen for a mother, and a cushy, comfortable lifestyle. So what does she do? Well, of course, she ditches all of that for a high-rolling adventure with very little in the way of food, shelter, creature comforts, general help, and relative safety, because, you know, a dutiful daughter and princess does all that. Plus, she gets awesome "How to be a normal non-royal person" lessons. XD And after the destruction of Alexandria, she is noticeably less happy. She goes mute for a quarter of the game, for pete's sake. If she were more conventional, she'd do the old Japanese "do my best/work my hardest/everything will be fine if we all work together" shtick in all of three seconds and get right back on the ball. Not Garnet. She crumbled, and I love her for that -- for not having the mental strength and fortitude to handle the annihilation of her beloved country, and generally not pulling through as a positive figure for her surviving Alexandrians. Then, after some thought and introspection and the examples she sees her friends set, she eventually gets her shit together and her priorities straight and eventually sets Zidane's shit straight and when he disappears her shit remains completely together until they're reunited. To be able to handle that after a meltdown is growth. She is a kind healer who loves the main character, yes, but for god's sake, she drugs her entire entourage (sans her knight because she's practical like that) so she isn't followed while she carries out a infiltration on her own country, something she was told specifically not to do by people who genuinely cared about her well-being because doing so was stupid and dangerous and generally unsmart. If that's not bucking authority, I don't know what is. 8D No YN here, preez move on.
