Elemental resistances along with allocating attribute points (AP) were still a thing when I joined during 3.1. I even remember melding the elemental resistance materia, only to find out later that they didn't help much. Iirc, SE did away with all of that in SB.

As a Lunarian, my character has an affinity with the moon, and naturally gravitated towards Menphina. But that does not mean Halone's influence isn't also present. Creating the 'War and Peace' nature of her duality that comes with being ruled by the 6th Heaven.

I guess it goes without saying now that my character's element is ice. Oddly enough, she has a deep admiration for Byregot and Rhalgar and has studied under their principles far more than Menphina's and Halone's, but Lightning is undoubtedly the element my character has the least amount of affinity to. I suppose this plays out with my character choosing to go against the grain and study forms of melee combat, even though her natural gifts are tied to wielding magic.

The icy aspects of her nature are more internalized, so you probably wouldn't guess her element is ice based on behavior. I suppose that also goes to show how that element plays a role as even though it is representative of strength and determination, it is also calm and rests in the intangible. It also goes to show that Lightning needs very little influence to make a big presence.
