    Dont know if she is considered a Scion, but Kill off Zero.
    She looks cool, but I still have No Attachment towards her, and if this is her Entire Personality, then Im good seeing her gone. Only way to make me care about her at this point is to go Full Minfillia --> Ryne and make her a different person with a Real Personality and maybe an actual Name.

    A new outfit with some color would be nice to, even our Boy Estinien as dry as he is has a Personality and some Color.

    Id say Kryile, but she apparently is gona play a bigger role here in 7.0, and I dont find her dull or uninteresting...more like....we just havent SEEN what she can do yet. And Id love to see her DO more.

    Be careful what you wish for. Destiny players said they wanted a darker theme game and the devs killed the coolest character in the game.

    Coolest characters in the game and Scions are completely different things.

    They might also have left her out of the trailer so it's not incredibly obvious that she survives whatever happens in 6.5 unscathed.

    The scions are practically animated corpses of characters that are dragged around on strings because a portion of the fanbase would get upset if one of them were retired or killed, even if it would be better for the story objectively. Some of us are sick of watching these meat puppets rot away and want to see something new and fresh.

    Personally feels like alot of these characters are just being used to resurge FOMO and have lost meaning after the last major arc finished at the tip of Endwalker. A death could be a nice could be nice touch but might be hard for the writers set it up enough where the community will accept it at this point.

    The scion I wanted dead has been dead since the end of HW so I'm happy.

    Just my two cents, but... the thing about killing a character in fiction is, if you're going to do it properly, their death has to serve a narrative purpose. It should change the circumstances of the story, or trigger a new arc, or spark a dramatic change in another character or something. If it's just done for the sake of "drama" or a "dark" moment, it's kind of meaningless. "This character has nothing to do" is not a reason to kill them, it's a reason for them to simply step away from the spotlight for a while.

    OMG, that would be the most heartbreaking thing of all. You kill one, you have basically killed the other because they will just be emotionally dead.

    I'm honestly worried they're going to kill her off, because A) I feel like she could really become interesting as she develops and tries to build a new life, B) killing off a character that quickly is a cheap move because they're "disposable," and C) it's also lame and predictable considering they already used that trick in ARR.

    That's actually EXACTLY what I want for Zero, to have a big turnaround and a new identity, complete with a new outfit and an REAL name. I don't have a problem with there not being much to her right now, because she's basically not even "alive" yet. She has to be reborn, but that can't happen overnight. It's going to have to happen gradually, although there can be some big dramatic moments that push her forward. Like you said, look at how Estinien has turned out, how his friendship with Alphinaud has developed. It's awesome! Zero should a chance to do something like that too, she could become an amazing character.

    You know, I was never a huge fan of Papalymo but in retrospect I would have liked to see his take on events and see how he could have contributed to the story in all the content he missed out on. I guess he and Y'shtola would sort of be tripping over each other for relevance as the "stoic scholar of the arcane," but maybe that could have played into a friendly rivalry or something.
