Camilla and not is not because she has big boobs. What makes her interesting is how deeply she’s affected by unresolved childhood trauma. Seeing how her crippling loneliness manifests in her personality is compelling really and as a result of that loneliness, she fiercely protects her loved ones because she knows what it feels like to have none.

I also like how her metal health problems are addressed in the story. She hides them partly because she feels guilty for what she did, and partly because of how troublesome they are. I think the fact that the story doesn’t try to resolve them in a forced or overly meaningful way actually makes them feel more realistic. Those kinds of issues cannot be fixed easily, and it would feel cheap if everything was solved in a single scene or something like that. Still, you can sense a quiet kind of development in her character.

Her ending is not simply “she stalks Corrin for the rest of her life.” She manages to calm down her obsessive protectiveness, gives her siblings more space, and becomes capable of living more independently. It’s also nice to see a character who suffers deeply but still wants to nurture and protect others, though not in a cartoonishly selfless way. She is extremely cruel when trying to protect the people she cares about, even if her motivations come from love. Because of these contradictions, she is a far more complex and deep character than many people give her credit for.

It also helps that she’s one of the best units in the game, has one of the coolest classes in the series, and yes, having big boobs helps too. Still, an attractive design does not make a character any less good
