I have always loved and will always love Faris!!
I adored Faris' attitude, the fact that Faris acts like a real pirate who's out only for money, and only decides to join the party when he sees something in it for him personally (answers about past)
and then when she figures out what the answer is, and then gets confronted with it by someone else, she goes NOPE NOPE NOPE and tries to physically run from her own feelings
Faris becomes a better person over the course of the game but never stops being a pirate. She tries being a princess twice for her sister's sake and both times it doesn't work and she goes back to piracy
She loves her sister and worries about her but she fucks up and hurts her feelings sometimes bc she was raised by a bunch of male pirates and has no idea how to express her feelings in a functional way
Learns how to do that better, never quite becomes soft, never quite resolves his own feelings about whether he's a man or a woman, so he goes with Gender: Pirate
All the characters in FFV are excellent but any time someone says "the characters in FFV are thin" I burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid man going BUT WHAT ABOUT FARIS
"WHAT ABOUT THIS CHARACTER FROM A 1992 VIDEO GAME THAT HAS A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR WHOLE IDENTITY DOWN TO THEIR GENDER AND DOESN'T RESOLVE IT EVEN BY THE EPILOGUE"
"WHAT ABOUT THIS PIRATE WHO GOES THROUGH A WHOLE-ASS CHARACTER ARC OF STARTING OUT SELFISH AND THEN GOING INTO A SPACETME VOID IN ORDER TO SAVE THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS"
"WHAT ABOUT THIS PRINCESS WHO GOT RAISED BY PIRATES AND FOUND HER LONG-LOST SISTER AND THEN LAUGHED IN HER FUCKING FACE LIKE A COMPLETE ASSHOLE EVEN THOUGH THEY BOTH FIGURED IT OUT AT THE SAME TIME"
"CALLS HER FATHER 'PAPA' EVEN THOUGH SHE'S A 20-YEAR-OLD PIRATE CAPTAIN, TRIES TO RUN INTO THE SEA AFTER HER DYING DRAGON FRIEND, YELLS AND BERATES THE PARTY GRANDPA FOR DYING BECAUSE SHE CAN'T DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT HE'S DYING"
anyway the answer is faris

you tell her faris
