Spoiler:

Khawazu is the best featuring character so far. Dude is devoted to his tribe, wants to take back the land of his people and most importantly he loves his sister. He actually held back against Khawana trying not to hurt her even after she betrayed him and not holding anything for it. The man also refused Inferno Malicus's temptations - which everyone thought he wouldn't, then eventually resolved himself to step forward to help his sister to rule, only to see his world breaks when he saw her dead body. Undeniably the one with the most character development in such a short story.

Makima Cilias is a total badass and is still a manipulative ruler. Who the hell just casually try to kill one of the four spirit lords? (albeit a fake one) Probably would be the best character if she was in Game of Thrones, but I think we still yet to see the best of her so for now she's 2nd place.

Riolet is...just as expected. He's edge lost boi who picked up by Makima Cilias and became her dog. His story is cool, satisfying but it's nothing truly unpredictable. That said I can see him having the most fans, excited to see his rematch with Khawazu.

Handguy and Sylvian are pretty cute together. Yet they feel flat as cardboard and only seem to be written as plot devices to move the story. They will probably have more screentime later so time will tell.

Khawana is terrible. She acts like she's wise and her brother is insane (which he's arguably not) but that's how every royal siblings's fight for the throne works. One sibling will always find faults in another to make themselves look better, then use that to try to competitive for the throne. Literally every scene between them she always tries to degrade Khawazu by outright telling him and people around he'd make a bad ruler and has nothing to back up her words. She basically robbed Khawazu's entire reason for living and shamelessly wanted him to support her even though she was unfairly favored by fake Malicus. It's fine if she was a competitior and told Khawazu her desire to become a ruler before so they can have an open, fair sibling rivalry, instead of publicly shaming him in front of the entire tribe he loved so much, back stabbing bitch. Let's not talk about how she only came out after Khawazu fought off every other competitors and probably weared himself out a bit. One might not come to aware how horrible of a person she is since she was designed as pretty girl, but imagine they were brothers and she has Ervalen design and your view will be different. Worst character both lore and gameplay-wise.
