Let’s go!

I must say that after I read Dossoles I had a negative perception of La Pluma because her “moe” design and voice left an “ah, waifu” impression, and her presence in the story didn’t bother to showcase her. But my friend (...I’m talking to you here, right?) helped me see more of her like her cool raven motifs, her simple-hearted love and care for her family, and the contrast they have with Tequila who likes to make everything “complicated”. Her oprec was charming, much better than anything I’d expected. So yeah. Now I like her much more than I did before. And her reminding Pancho of his love for his wife even if he never met her, but because she cared about his stories that much… Great.
Also, I kinda can see her being the autistic character, I wonder what people think about that.

Pancho, I think he’s sympathetic. Dossoles could’ve been incredible if they had fleshed out Pancho more. Someone who’s still living on the battlefield in his heart, forced to live in a city of fake peace which drives him crazier and crazier every day, what an awesome story that could’ve been. In no way is he a perfect father, but he’s that type of old rigid warrior and we all know that type.

I don’t really have an opinion on Tequila’s mom… She’s just… A dead mom? But I can say that the whole story of “dad left me and my mother (and my not-adopted sister) and my mom wasted away while he wasn’t there, so now I’m suffering but my sister is living on” reminds me of the Kamui and Kagura conflict in Gintama, except Tequila wasn’t crazy enough to try killing his dad and running away with pirates.

I also like the thought that Tequila grew up the way he is because his mother was more of an influence on him, teaching him a life-cherishing outlook, contrasting to his father's "be a man!!11" pressure.

Since we’re talking about this anyway, I’ll add a bonus point about my second favorite Dossoles character, which is Candela. She’s so fun. Absolutely unhinged. But I surprisingly get her. Bolivar is a mess, but she managed to build one happy city in the midst of it, even though everyone else is paying the price for that. I think that’s worth recognition. She’s like a Silverash, but a) with an even worse starting point b) female c) more experienced d) more unhinged. And her having a random crush on Wei is based, I’d also have a crush on Wei just for the looks.
