i look forward to seeing where you take this all. the new chapter is great BTW
It makes sense that Rainbow would be noticeably more powerful than Starlight or Trixie at first. Personas reflect your inner self, your inner will. It would make sense someone with a strong inner will would start out with an absurdly strong Persona. Just means that hers doesn't have as much room to grow as the others.
9611517
VERY good observation. Yes, all of that is true.
Hm...I don't know if I should compare Rainbow Dash to Bowser, Cloud, Roxas, or Zero (all video game characters that I enjoy playing as for their sheer power). What do you think, Azure?
9611568
She'd be closer to Roxas or Zero, because it's not her power so much as her speed that's the issue.
The actual powerhouse shows up later.
9611517
So true. It might mean that she eventually gets outclassed also.
My girl RD is broken AS SHE SHOULD BE. Feelin' sorta down cause I know best Birb Girl G is likely gonna be bad... then again maybe not. You have certainly made me sorta second guess most of this story.... also weirdly I keep hearing Igor with Ialdabaoth's voice. I know he had another one but for unnerving purposes it fits better he has the deeper voice.
(OK! So, my first running commentary on this got deleted by accident. Not happy about that. So, starting from zero!)
Oh Pinkie...
Nobody likes Fleur.
How the hell did a bitch like Fleur become Pinkie's mother's friend? Also, that's another dead mother. Noticing a trend here.
She is. And it pisses me off.
Probably.
Join the club.
Noticing a theme here.
Oh, now this is interesting.
Wait, so you've rescued Pinkie before despite being unable to even touch Shadows? Damn, Rainbow.
Oh you bastard.
I DISAGREE.
She's lost hope.
DAMMIT!
Yeah, that, right. You have deep seated trauma.
Fuck you that's how.
She does.
You have no idea.
Sith Fleur De Lis?
Agreed.
Fuck your sentence!
So many dead moms, what is with you?
And her Shadow and thus Persona manifest.
YES! Turn your rage into a blade of flame and light to rip through the darkness!
Oh, that's cool!
I am lightning, the rain transformed.
Figured.
NICE!
To be fair, she's the Fighter, not the Mage.
Checks out.
See above, she's the Fighter. Also, carry?
Nah. Go for the world first. Then we'll see.
I was right. Dash's will to protect Pinkie was so strong she forced her way into Pinkie's dungeon unknowingly.

By "carry", Azure meant that one character you get in an RPG that is so powerful they could probably solo the entire fight by themselves, without even dropping below half health. Frederic is that for early Fire Emblem Awakening, being a Promoted Class you get in the first mission, and I know that in one of the early fights in Part One of FE: Radiant Dawn, you are literally given only the Black Knight for an offensive unit and essentially told "Kick The Enemy's Ass". The Black Knight was previously an endgame boss in Path of Radiance, and he remains part of your army until you finish Part One.
9611696
Not so much dead mothers as much as "orphans". Trust me, nothing I do here is accidental.
With full on with the knight thing for Dash. Like the power of her and persona. That said kinda off that you named said after one of Final Fantasy's least liked protags. Like I don't hate 13 but Lightning is one of my least favorite characters of that game, to the point I'd say I like Vanille more.
Speed is honestly part of what can make any character powerful. It's why I enjoy playing as Roxas/Xion in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Zero in the Mega Man Zero series; they hit hard and fast, turning enemy encounters into a spectacle where I utterly annihilate every foe in sight.
I doubt Azure intentionally based Rainbow Dash's Persona on Lightning. I didn't even make that connection until you brought it up, so it might be a coincidence.
9611926
No... no that's Lightning. That was intentional. I know she's not that popular, but A) she's perfect for Dash's Persona since they have the same motivation more or less, and B) I like Lightning as a character.
9612090
I didn’t know her real name was enclair. I like her too
Well, the fact I didn't see the Lightning connection just shows how little I know about Final Fantasy as a whole. I'm vaguely familiar with Final Fantasy VII thanks to Kingdom Hearts and Super Smash Bros., but I haven't actually played the game yet.
9612155
I think it's less that and more Éclair is French for lightning.
9612728
See, I didn't know that, but I love this choice in Persona even MORE now.
I find it interesting that you like to make Rainbow' dad out to be a collosal jerk when that's the complete opposite of how he really is. Also, I was wondering if you came up with the protagonists' personas yourself or base them on a figure from history or mythology.
9613217
I'm not really drawing from a specific mythology, but none of these Personas are artificially created.
Morgana is Morgan le Fey from King Arthur.
Elenora is a character from a book called Elenora: Daughter of Merlin.
Eclair Farron is the real name of Lightning, the main character of Final Fantasy 13.
9612090
You like Lightning as a character? What character? she has the expression and likability of a Barbie doll. You can even dress her up like one!
In all seriousness, good chapter. I like the idea of another character getting a persona without the normal rigmarole they normally have to go through.
Okay, so I was definitely wrong about Rainbow's relation to Pinkie's Dungeon. Ah well, that happens with theories sometimes.
Well I am officially caught up with this story! Rainbow Dash is pretty epic here. Now they can save Pinkie Pie!
9616572
The next chapter will be up either tonight or tomorrow. Depending on if I type it up at all today.
I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. And yes, Rainbow Dash is really epic here. A bit more epic than I planned her to be initially, but I'm keeping it.
9616611
Speaking from experience, Rainbow tends to do that. Usually best to let her have her fun and reign her in later.
9617012
Well, my goal is to take this a but further than a typical Persona story would, and to technically go further than any story does, while still staying within reason.
So things might get graphic, especially down the line, but I'll try to not make it go full on grimdark.
Hua Po is one of my fave persona's.
Dos she look kinda like this
9724747
That's exactly who Dash's Persona is based off of. Mind you, Dash's outfit is actually based off of Utena Tenjou from Revolutionary Girl Utena.
That Shadow's name is supposed to be Nue, not Hue.
To me Eclair gives me the image of izanagi for for some reason
so like Rainbow Dash is level 20 while Trixie and Starlight are like level 12 right now . And I dubbed Dash's default weapon "Iron Sword"
