S.A.P. #2
Whenever my younger brother plays his video game, Final Fantasy XII, I would watch it and wait for how our two most favorite characters will react to their quest and crack up a wise nugget or so.
If you want to know who our favorite characters are, their names are Balthier and Fran, Sky Pirates in the fictional fantasy world of Ivalice, where most of their adventures are happening.
For a short description, Balthier and Fran are sky Pirates, Balthier being the suave, British-accented and cocky Human, while his partner, Fran, is a Viera, a tall and lithe creature who are mysterious and odd as their trademark rabbit-like ears.
What makes them my favorite characters is that the way they stand-out is because of how these two work together in a sense that they are reminiscent to Han Solo and Chewbacca's partnership.
But anyway, I'm not going to talk about how much of a fan I am and describe them. I'm here to talk about how Balthier wins fans by his sharp looks and even sharper witty lines.
Just hearing Balthier's voice (mind you, he's voiced by a Brit!) and how every line he says to any of the characters exudes confidence makes him every bit more interesting, therefore creating a sort of magnetizing charm. (Great. Just what a fan girl would EXACTLY say about her favorite). His masculinity also redefines it in a sense that he doesn't have to show muscles or brawn to be masculine.
Anyway, if you don't believe me, just watch this short video of him
(Great! Just how a fan girl WOULD show it)
