You mentioned last week that we didn't have enough information on who might be (and stay) dead to do a real analysis of what you'd like in a back-up character to complement the party. Now that we know that Laudna is dead and might at least stay dead for a while, what would you like to see mechanically in a Marisha back-up character?
------
Grouping these all together!
In general, mechanically, I do lean towards wizard or artificer, but also just. High intelligence. High intelligence. We need high intelligence. Anything else is just a bonus. I don't care if she plays a barbarian who somehow managed to stack her INT score, just. please.
Because Marisha would be replacing a glass cannon, she can play a glass cannon (whereas, say, if Orym or Fearne had died, I'd want them to not add a third fragile character to the party), hence wizard; I also loved how she played Patia and would like to see her get a chance to play a wizard in a longer term campaign, and also I just like wizards and think people should be less afraid to play them, because they are one of the best classes. However, because Laudna was sort of a DPS/support hybrid and this party is short on neither of these things, and because Warlock/Sorcerer is a combo that imo doesn't pay great dividends until kind of late in the game, in terms of party comp, she really can do basically anything.
In terms of wizard and artificer subclasses, honestly, for me? It's purely my personal preference. I would not go with enchantment - this group already has plenty of charisma/detect thoughts/charm stuff - and we've seen transmutation in-game so I'd skip that. I think Evocation would let her do some of the DPS she did with Laudna while not hitting the three melee characters, and potent cantrip is really good. I also always love divination, and I always love short-range teleporting so conjuration is fun too. But seriously...any wizard. I am so desperate for a good arcana score that I will accept a bladesinger with open arms.
For artificer, I really do love alchemist the most, but again, any would be fine. I think if she wants to continue ribbing Taliesin with her characters, artillerist would be hilarious. It has a banger of a spell list, and I think Marisha can have a flamethrower, as a treat.

For the ask meme: 001 A Court of Fey and Flowers
Favorite character: god I cannot choose from among this group
Least Favorite character: I mean Apollo's vibes were super rancid
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): really only the big two, Andhera/Binx and Hob/Rue
Character I find most attractive:
Character I would marry: Binx; see below in which I explain why I identify with Andhera.
Character I would be best friends with: I really do want to be besties with Lady Chirp and party platonically with her.
a random thought: I really would have loved to have seen how this would have played out if they had a bit more time - I think it ended beautifully as is so it's just a matter of "oh what would it have been like if they didn't have to reschedule for valid reasons"
An unpopular opinion: I don't know if this is unpopular or not, in part bc who I follow has skewed the data such that I think this might actually be popular, but like. My feelings on Rue/Hob was like "this is very sweet! I'm happy for them" and Andhera/Binx was the ship where I was like BESTIE I'M SOBBING I'M EATING DIRT I'M GOING TO WALK INTO THE SEA and I feel like the fandom had the opposite feeling. (With that said, "you understood service" is the one Rue/Hob line that has me feeling that way)
My Canon OTP: so uh. obviously Binx/Andhera.
Most Badass Character: Binx. I will not elaborate.
Most Epic Villain: She wasn't explicitly a villain but the vibes of the Queen of Air and Darkness were impeccable.
Pairing I am not a fan of: I will say I did not ship Rue/Wuvvy though I do think that it makes sense she would have feelings for them.
Favorite Friendship: The lords of the wing. Cousin!
Character I most identify with: Andhera. On the one hand my muscles are not aesthetic only and my immediate family is pretty decent on the whole, but I do relate heavily to the awkwardness, being a shy bookish child who became a far less shy but still awkward adult, and the paladin-ness and not being terribly forthcoming with public displays of emotion. Look. If there's a paladin, you know I'm halfway there already.
Character I wish I could be: I wish I could live the life of Lord Squak because that seems fun as shit.
