Ooh, Tide Touched! What does that mean? Stop teasing me!! :P
It was a great relief to get this slower paced chapter after the tension of the ones previous. Libra gets an early bird cameo! I love Libra! :D And it was nice to see things being drawn together with the storm and Grima and the Risen and mer??? I definitely feel like a fish out of water with Robin at the moment haha. But I get the sense that the mer are the Grimleal in this AU? And Grima's like, a stormy god? And they "feed" from Grima's "scraps"? Maybe? God honestly it could go any way at this point but I'm excited to see more of this altered lore unfold!
Speaking of Robin though, she was so endearing in this chapter. "Is that a castle?!" It's a really neat way to get across the awe of her seeing everything whilst also making her *super adorable.* Lissa, don't tease her, that's mean. But yes, I'm looking forward to Robin discovering more about her past and how the shapeshifting was able to happen!
Thank you! Chrom's status as a person with unusual and plot significant hair color is something I really enjoy in this fic. I've always liked the trend of blue haired heroes in Fire Emblem, and I thought it would be fun to emphasize that trait with some setting fluff and social attitudes; hopefully the later chapters will make it clear that being Tide Touched is something that has a lot of attitudes and folklore attached to it.
Libra's inclusion was one of those things that just fell into place, with trying to figure out how to write a different take on the council scene. Him being there helps build up more of the lore, and during the outlining phase, I think it got me thinking more about how to expand the setting. (Which might also have helped tie into the whole Tide Touched idea!)
With Robin it's also fun that she gets to introduce little bits of world building; both with scraps of things she barely remembers, and getting introduced to new things along with the reader!
