I designed a summer alt for Annette

Someone get this girl a stepladder

The 3 hopes paralogues are SOO good <333

annette is so often overlooked because she's bubbly. she's energetic and happy and whimsical in a way the others aren't, and so her pain is overlooked.

but look at how distraught she gets whenever she does something wrong, or she forgets something. in her supports with byleth, she's so disappointed in herself for missing training. in her supports with dedue, she's distressed when dedue has to help her clean up and make dinner. she hates letting people down, she hates failing, she always strives to be better, and that is how her trauma manifests.

her father left her, and so she assumed it was because she wasn't good enough. so she worked, and worked, and worked, and he still didn't want anything to do with her - and she twisted it to think that it was because she didn't work hard enough. so she continues to throw herself into her work, throw herself into her studies, until maybe, just maybe, she'll be good enough.

but it's quiet. it doesn't manifest in hurting other people, or insulting them, or otherwise being an outward jerk. it manifests in her helping everyone wherever she can, because maybe then she'll be nice enough. it manifests in her studying late into the night, because maybe then she'll be smart enough. it manifests in her training every moment she can squeeze in, because maybe then she'll be strong enough. just look at the juxtaposition between her heroes relic and her class - she covers all bases, unique bases, pushes herself harder and stronger, because that way she doesn't have room for the thoughts, and she's growing alongside that. and maybe then, after all that is said and done, after she's mastered all the things that could possibly make someone love and appreciate her, she'll eventually be enough.
