Serra seems to be a character that rather unfortunately lives and dies through the support system. While it's true she is a genuinely good character for reasons this video points out - I can't help to feel bad that it's all content you unearth through her hard to obtain supports. It's in this instance that I understand people clamoring for an overhaul to the support system, because more people should be aware of how awesome she is.
That's definitely a fair take.
Honestly, I feel like a lot of interesting characters are hidden behind supports in the series, which was a big inspiration for me making these videos. I feel like there are some super underappreciated FE characters out there that a lot of people won't really learn about just because it's pretty tough to see all of the supports in normal gameplay.
Well, this is an interesting take on a character living a delusion to their own benefit survival. I've always been amused by Serra from her lines in Fire Emblem Heroes (Ex. "Did you buy a 'Little' gift for me? Or a big one!?), but this depth completes her boisterous and arrogant personality cohesively. And now it makes sense why her resplendent outfit's theme was from Nifl. Nice touch.
Also, regarding 7:23 where you say to the effect of "I don't believe she's attention seeking for the sake of it"; realistically speaking attention seekers seek attention because they received an insufficient amount in their own home. A kid acting out and being a trouble maker in elementary school? More than likely, pops not (giving the kid enough attention) at home. A girl trying to get all the boys' attention? Pops not giving her enough attention at home. Of course no parental figures would fall in the same bracket. So it's nice to see when writers use this effectively in their stories (like our star of the video or even Naruto).
Was always difficult to get the supports in older titles like this, especially if you were playing the game blind like I did. While this is a character done in a few stories, it does seem pretty well done here, especially with how little is given.
