The thing about Blades which I love is that all the characters have this sort of unique chemistry to them - be it platonic or romantic. They're not inherently dependent on MC to be the "glue".
Mal and Tyril have their own banter going on - they're the yin to each other's yang.
Tyril and Nia are connected by their shared abilities of Elven and Light magic and the goodness they carry.
Imtura and Mal definitely get up to hijinks, from getting kicked out of taverns to flirting shamelessly with everyone.
Imtura and Nia are each other's strengths - Imtura learns that sometimes strength comes from kindness and Nia learns that standing up for herself isn't so bad after all, thus beating her trauma from her childhood.
Nia and Mal are good with kids, they're ordinary humans capable of extraordinary things and their inner goodness shines through.
Imtura and Tyril connect over their distance from their families; finding new ones along the way.
Tyril, Mal and Imtura definitely practice brawling together and go out drinking later with Tyril being the designated "driver" to take these two loud drunk idiots home.
Nia, Tyril and Mal help the orphanage kids learn. Tyril and Nia teach them a bit about magic while discouraging Mal from teaching them how to pick locks and steal from the nobility.
Tyril, Nia and Imtura are probably the best errand team; from gathering supplies to mending their weapons and stitching clothes after a long battle; knowing where to get their things from, how to heal things and how to break things up.
Nia, Imtura and Mal become a little police squad of their own, which is ironic because Mal seeks to punish theives by thieving from them. Nia's the brains who tracks the local pickpockets and shows the victims and survivors some sympathy (and secretly magicks them whatever they've lost or need) and Imtura being the muscles, would absolutely leave the perpetrator devastated.
I'd kill for some domesticity between the four of them and have MC and Kade go:
Next in my journey to turn Blades characters into amigurumi is the King of Snacking, Threep Pompedorfin. This is one I might retry with a different pattern and I might experiment a bit more with the wings (couldn’t figure out the colors) but that’s future Petal’s problem. He’s still a cutie in this form.
The poll to choose the next character is up and running: x
For the other Amigurumis I’ve made, check out my Masterlist: x
Never change, Threep. I mean, I don’t think there’s much risk of that, because even in your Shadow form you kept the same priorities. But still. Please never change 😅
