Female Hrothgar in the Front

[Calixis]

Honestly, I'm more upset that Bwagi could just walk in and shoot her like it was no big thang, meanwhile every MCH main who did Bozja Castrum on MCH needs to get sore about this. We're supposed to be the fast draw and best shot in the world, we coulda shot Misjia the second she kicked Mikoto to the side. Hell, every job except Monk has a ranged attack that would cover the distance between us and Misjia in that cutscene before she forced us into the memory to change it.

Cutscene Incompetence is nothing new to WoL - the aftermath of The Vault if you're doing it as a healer (or Paladin, or Red Mage) comes to mind.

In fairness, at the time Bwagi shot her WoL was holding back the Tempering attack, although yeah, her kicking Mikoto aside and everybody still staring at her was pretty damn bizarre, but if you want to stretch logic a bit, Bajsaljen was still trying to talk her down on peaceful terms to bring her back to their side and everybody was waiting on his order before attacking. Arguably, the fault lies with him for not acting quickly decisively enough.

As for her blood relation, that's the only conceivable reason as to why Gunnhildr would have listened to her imo to let her alter the memory.

I think it was more that the Shrine Maiden was already stretching her psyche to accept her fate - it's a very reluctant smile when she says, "At least my people will be safe."

Considering she's literally been stabbed in the back by her own people, whilst expecting to have died pretending to be a Queen who was too cowardly to go through it herself, ultimately it didn't, understandably, take much more than Misjia twisting the dagger a bit and telling her that history won't remember her sacrifice to tip her over the edge considering everything she's been through. Misjia being her descendant just adds some legitimacy to her words.
