    Please not Moenbryda. She was the first character that I actively hated, as she was obviously a huge Mary Sue character thrown in as an attempt to tug on your heart strings when they were still afraid of anything bad or permanent happening to the "main" characters.

    It they did something to flesh her out, maybe, but her current incarnation can stay where she is.

    Loiusoix might still around in the first, if young Minfilia is there. Could be interesting for the twins

    I don't even remember this character, at all. I think my friend was telling me a few weeks ago when she died (I think it was her) that everyone in the story was sad, and he had no clue who she even was really, or why everyone was so sad. I was all like "Yeah, I don't remember them at all".

    I think Moenbryda had more potential as a character than she was actually used for. The impact of her death was definitely more about how much it clearly affected the other characters than feeling personally sad about it. (Though personally I'm okay with that sort of storytelling as long as it's done well.)

    It would have been good to introduce her earlier, so she was at least around in the background for longer and seemed to be more of a settled-in member of the Scions than a guest appearance.

    An element that I really liked was her friendship with Urianger and a first chance to see him being treated more as a person and not a walking library (or the polite 'work colleague' relationship he seems to have with the other Scions). That was a little too brief and it would have been good to have a few more chances for them to interact and have him show a bit more personality.

    You have to actually read and watch the story unfold to understand who she is. If you didn't of course you would have no clue.
