Whats impressive is how well we know her after only 4 minutes of screen time. We know she's brave, manipulative, a trickster, she's close with and trusted by Mel, she has great hearing, she's good at reading people, and she cares about the future of Piltover. All from only 3 ish scenes.
Also all her scenes… everything she did had immense repercussions or had events transpire around them. Very interesting timing to say the least, like a chess player moving pieces in the board without actually being seen.
I adore how she’s animated to hear things before everyone else, not just with her ears but with her mannerisms. Example 2:19 she looked up, hearing the mechanisms moving before we can. Lest is so cool
Arcane is just the caliber of show where they'll casually make some side character who could've so easily been "stock townsperson #4" and flesh them out into someone memorable. Great stuff
I think it's interesting they hired a trans actor to play a trans character. they kept the voice just at the border to be clear it's a trans character. and since it's a furry they can elude the censors in bigoted countries and say see it's a gurl cuz makeup and actor is a woman. I hope it stays on the down low until more countries get to see the show. they get enough heat with the VixCait combo, but it's more tolerable to homophobes than boy love, for some reason that really gets them going. funny they never censored the scene where Silco puts on makeup.
Lest is like the best NPCesc side character that have made herself known in 4 min of screentime and then dissapear in nothingness for the rest of the series. People straight up ask for more of the most random pop out of nowhere character and I love it, because it shows how good they made her.
What i like in this show is that even characters who are totally in the background the whole time, have their own little plotlines with a start, middle and conclusion without affecting the main story, wow
Christ, why is she so pretty and elegant? She looks like a film star from the 1920s, except, y'know, furry. I swear I'm not a furry, but holy hell, she is absolutely gorgeous.
I actually really like her second scene with Salo for two reasons. One, she's independently continuing the work for Salo as an apparent means to glean details as to where Mel might've gone, perhaps worried that Ambessa might've done something, which speaks to her concern and bravery. Two, she gives Salo a genuine tip to get care, at worst to disentangle herself from him but just as easily because she thought it was worth a shot. Might've been bad for Salo in the long run, but that's hardly her fault.
Out of everyone in the show, she just had to be my favourite character. Loved her soft voice and I picked up on her being trans early on. As a trans boy who wants to be a voice actor someday, she’s inspiring and it’s downright criminal how little screen time she got.
Sorry Yall i love Lest so much, i cant be the only who loves her so much and can see a past previous relationship they had with Mel. Like i just love their small yet unique dynamic, the fact that they could of had a fling or being potential past lovers is so intriguing and interesting to me. LOVE THEM BOTH, Diva with a Diva 🫶🏻💜
Arcane needed AT LEAST 1 more season, lots of things ended abruptly and Jinx's death felt very unsatisfying, would have loved to see more of Lest as Mel's spy, milk out the political drama a little bit more
Love her design (and yay, another trans woman being played by a trans woman (hey fellow Trans woman how you doing)) but I don't like how wasted she is in this season. Like she's in the show for about 2 episodes, has about only 4 minutes of screen time and then is out of the series without any idea where she is. Such a waste. Side note I thought she was a rabbit at first not a cat. Her ears are so big and she has kinda a rabbit look to her. I didn't know she was a cat until I looked her up. Still love her design.
I agree that I wish we had more of her, but at the same time, I feel like this is another example of Arcane being really special when it comes to background characters - they don’t FEEL like “just background”. You can feel and sense whole stories with them, you’re intrigued by them, you want more of them, no matter how little they show up, and I think that says something about how strong the world-building is, that it makes everything feel so very much alive. That goes for Lest here, too - in any other show, she might have been relegated to some generic design and barely any speaking roles, else her detail would be mistaken for her being important. Not here. Here - we can imagine and dream.
I actually like the fact she left because it makes her seem much smarter than other side characters like Steb, Loris, or the Jinxer/musician girl. She obliges Mel for a while before realizing “whoa, this goes way deeper than I thought, I need to leave” … and then she leaves. She gets what she wanted, and she’s not dragged into any of the unnecessary conflict in Act 3. I like to imagine she’s somewhere else, safe and happy. Or kissing Mel.
@@samsamasam hey, first i use 1080p source and color grade a bit, play with the vibrancy and exposure to make it look good but not alter from original too much, and add a bit of BCC Unsharp Mask and Instant 4k effects in After Effects - export 1080p in Quicktime for lossless quality. Then i use Topaz Video Ai on the previous export to upscale to 4K, use Enhancement to clear the image and Frame interpolation for higher frame rate - export using Encoder ProRes 422 HQ for best quality :) hope this helps!
Literlaly has like a little under 5 minutes of screen time and is just such a memorable charatcer with her design and how she talks just ugh I love her :] plus she is canonically transgender so yay!!!!
i like lests character alot, his design fits his role and job perfectly. I just find it really sad how much of a throwaway character he was, I wish we had more of him and that he made a bigger impact on the show.

Also all her scenes… everything she did had immense repercussions or had events transpire around them. Very interesting timing to say the least, like a chess player moving pieces in the board without actually being seen.
And all of that harmonize really well. So natural
If we get an arcane spinoff with Mel, I hope we get to see more of Lest along with her, I think that would be interesting.
excellent storytelling. very elegant
Her ear movements make my neurons activate
i know right. all those little touches make her seem so lively
" like a cat backed in to a corner" she says that while being a cat backed in to a corner.
I thought she was based on a hare? She looks like a hare imo. Cats ears are smaller.
@xdani_thethinkingneko I think she's based on fennec foxes.
She may have been only for almost four minutes but she made the most of it.
trueee!
I adore how she’s animated to hear things before everyone else, not just with her ears but with her mannerisms.

@@immagical7036 nice spot! And yes, indeed a very cool character
@@ScreenSprintsI reeeaaaallly hope we see more of Lest in the future. She’s too pretty to be left out XD

@@immagical7036 she not, he... He trans...
3:24 her terrified expression here made me feel genuinely bad for her. That's some solid animating.
Even her pupils narrow and dilate while shes talking. They narrow when she was startled, then expand as she relaxes.
I LOVE Lest. i wish we got more of her in the show. she is such a mysterious woman
Yep, same!
What a special character! Too bad we saw so little of her, maybe we’ll get more in future series
I personally think we saw just enough. We don’t want her to be overexposed
Shame the one trans character gets so little time
I just love how soft and quiet her voice is!
Arcane is just the caliber of show where they'll casually make some side character who could've so easily been "stock townsperson #4" and flesh them out into someone memorable. Great stuff
Lest is such a good character and design. The 2nd scene is from Season 2 Act 1 Episode 3

@HisameArtwork what she's trans? that's so cool
how did you know?
@@cloudbankcity creators confirmed outside the show
@@HisameArtwork
Silco puts on makeup? To cover the scar? I don't remember the scene
Lest is amazing! Love her, wish we’ll see more of her or other Vastayas in the future
If I had to guess the ionia show will probably have a big focus on the vastayan tribes. Maybe Xayah and Rakan's rebellion.
We're getting a show on Noxus so hopefully we'll get plenty of Ionians/Vastaya (though none of them will likely be happy)

She has a middle eastern aura to her

It's so stunning how much character they gave her in such little time. She's also just so pretty and her voice soapmsnsoa
She's so pretty
"Can't hurt to look, can it?"
AND THEN HERE COME JAYCE WITH A HAMMER---!!
Her clothing looks so cosy. I love the character designs in Arcane
Ugh she's so pretty
Its amazing that the writers can make us so attached to a character who appears for 4 minutes.
Her ears are fluffy and her aura is threatening. What more could you want
She was so great! I hope her voice actress gets more work in the future.
THOSE NAILS
She sends a shiver down my spine. A good shiver.
I fucking love her and she appear only 4 minutes

This makes me wonder is Lest hinting about possibly seeing Ionia in another series?
@@yesthatmousyiris4887 would be great to see that!
didnt they said new series will be in demacia ionia and noxus

“Hear me out”

I was hoping she was gonna be around in the entire s2
Arcane season 2 turned me into a furry and.. scaley? Idk. But Lest and Steb can get it.
She is so beautiful I wish she was a main character
single handedly killed salo

My friend sent me this clip with the caption “we’re not furries…right?”
She's a lesbian trans i respect her i can sing her a song a lullaby
She’s a good kitty
also, I think she's the Rose Witch or whatever. The one who Mel told "I can see your face, Deceiver."
Is it just me or does Lest give off HH Valentino vibes?
Anduin Wrynn has certainly fall to depression.

Could you compile all rune appearances in Arcane 1 & 2? Including those in background or on blackboards and notebooks...
My girl sounds like Duncan Trussell (atleast for me)

Thanks for the heart!
I'd been watching a Von Dutch interview with Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. It's on RUclips
Now...I ain't a furry...HOWEVER....

And how about ahri will animated in the next series... Every league and ahri mains lost there shit...

can you do Salo if you take requests? He's been my favorite for a while now and theres suck a lack of content ith him, unfortunately
