Blade Blaige's Links
Zero, the second-oldest of our little trio, strikes pretty much the perfect balance between me and Summer... including his age! He is generally dependable and honest, but not as smart or as naturally talented as Summer, or as courageous (/possibly just purely stupid as Summer likes to tell me) and unpredictable as I am!
Blade is always up to some kind of shenanigans that will likely get him into trouble -- that's where I come in! Whenever Blade screws up one of Summer's masterminded plans or tries something on the fly and it doesn't work out, I'm there to back him up. That's how we work as a duo.
My biological dad. I don't really know what else I can say on the matter. Since we saved the world, he's generally been much kinder to us than when he was possessed by Darkblade... obviously.
He's pretty mellow, like Summer, but it isn't hard to see the steely glint of determination his eyes share with Zero's.
As for me, well... Arthur is still as mischievous as an adult as he claims to have been as a child, before all of his kingly duties relating to Excalibur's pulling were forced onto him. A lot of his exploits from back then sound like some of the stupid things I've done on the way here...
Who would've thought that my most annoying genes would pass on to one of my kids? ... I jest, of course, but it is quite surprising how much Blade reminds me of my youthful self. I haven't entirely lost that spark of chaos in my soul, but he's bearing the rest of it within his still, even after all that has happened to his family.
One of my two big bros! Strategy master and magician extraordinaire, Summer is one of the only known magi who have ever been able to use Magiques (miracles). All of that makes me feel pretty small in comparison, but I still rest easily knowing that I am needed just as much as any of our trio. I'm happy for the other two and their amazing skills, but I feel kinda average going on about them, even though I do have some skills of my own!
Unlike Lyrial or Zero, Blade and I have been related throughout every timeline that has ever existed. We have a very distinct - possibly even exclusive to us - bond in this way, but that is not to say we don't have a similar (yet differing) bond with Lyrial and Zero.
Blade is our archer, whose aim is so remarkable that I doubt even I could grasp how he figures out all of his trajectories in such a short amount of time between shots. He also fulfills the role of thief/rogue quite well, with his tendency to dote on shiny objects.
