As a fan of both girls I never understood where all the hate came from. Unless you're a fan of the comics or something, neither of the girls has any real personality in the game except the tidbits of dialogue you get from Lyra if you play as the boy in HG/SS. They're avatars for the female players. Sure their designs are different but I think all the hate for Lyra is seriously unwarranted. I can understand being pissed off Kris is gone but goddamn.
