tough call. obviously based only on current content, and dealing only with our actual harem (and i guess robin, dari, and uyae. they'll be on the roster. give it time.) i would say...that its actually really hard to say XD i would normally default to robin as my preferred hangout buddy because she so levelheaded, but as its been pointed out above she hasn't really come out of her shell enough to say definitively if she is "good" or "bad". for the record, trin is definitely, unabashedly bad. so theres a point of reference  for her at least. varia is probably also pretty bad, what with the banditry and such.
 * as a person?



i think...probably aka or hilstara. they have some of the idealism of people like carina or altina, but tempered by a more down-to-earth attitude born of experience.

 dari. we haven't seen too much of her, but i love her enthusiasm, and her various expressions are great. they really express a tone with her. one that i like to think is fluctuating widely and rapidly. girl is unstable, in all the best ways.
 * as a character in the story?

 hilstara for sure. maybe carina. i don't GENERALLY use them in my party, but when one or both of them is present i feel very, VERY safe. they're good protectors. it just makes the whole "killing the other guys" thing really slow, so i mainly go full-offense and heal between battles as needed.
 * to fight beside?

 for the sake of fairness, ill count the succubi and non-succubi separately. sexual magic gives succubi an unfair advantage.
 * sexually?



orilise, or robin. i have a thing for intelligent characters who avoid the "unapproachable, elitist bitch" pitfall that soooo mant "smart" characters fall into. I like them for different reasons too. With robin it's weirdly pure. Theres just so much genuine affection there that its...really sweet. If you can get past the whole "he raised her" thing. Easy enough, all things considered. She's old enough to make her own choices. Orilise is just INCREDIBLY erotic. hoooly hell. everything from her expressions to her color scheme to her on-demand scene is just amazingly sexy. easily my favorite of the elf trio.



out of the various succubi in simon's life only, yarra is an easy choice. she's driven, experienced, sexually powerful (like, her magic is top level. and she uses it in bed. nice!), and enthusiastic. she basically has all the best attributes of the others with almost none of their failings, including Empress Esthera. Truly a woman deserving the title of First Slut.

 
 * as a friend?

dari and robin. they kind of remind me of friends i ACTUALLY have. its exhausting to hang out with them, but its always a fun time. i say both instead of either/or because in this case its important to have that balance. robin is too withdrawn without someone more energetic to push her into new things (admittedly, its usually qum), and dari needs someone more level-headed around to keep her from climbing the walls.

 * waifu life partner?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">a lot of them would make decent long-term mates. simon has good taste. but in this i think i would have to go with hilstara again. she has the right combination of drive and patience that you can grow into each other with minimal drama, shes mature enough to know what she wants and how to get it while also knowing when or if she even SHOULD (key difference with Varia there. Never learned the "should I or shouldn't I?" bit, what with the banditry), shes a solid intellectual middle ground between the likes of robin/orilise and nalili/altina, has none of the baggage that people like carina or trin (for VERY different reasons) are carrying, and then, on top of all that, underneath that armor she's pretty hot.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">

<p style="line-height:inherit;">also i think as far as simon goes, considering her willingness to sleep with other women, their relationship if they had had one with none of this incubus king business involved would have closely resembled what he had with Wendis.
