RIP Aisha and any of her beaus, they weren't good enough to make it on the 20th anniversary couples list, I guess.
It's still a sweet list though. They picked the obvious stuff for most of them, duh, but some points are pretty interesting. I wouldn't have called Helia a loner for instance but when I think back to S2 when he first showed up he was always sitting alone somewhere just drawing stuff. Just makes him easier to introduce for sure but yeah, I can see him being kind of a loner who prefers having some peace when he draws. I definitely wouldn't call Sky loyal though - see S1 - but that's a pattern in most of his character descriptions tbh. They intended him to be this "perfect prince" type and just pretend he is (e.g. always being honest) despite his behaviour in the series proper directly contradicting that (which also would make him more interesting if they actually acknowledged it). I love that they picked loving music as what Musa & Riven have in common. (Something actually positive and not something dumb like both being stubborn or loving to argue or something like that.) Especially because that's not the most obvious thing for Riven, it's something he discovered to love through Musa and I truly adore that it's become such a consistent thing for him. And I love their pick for how they're different as well, always amused by Riven being described as grumpy and Musa being optimistic is surprisingly true. I don't think it's the first word you'd associate with her but it definitely comes out in how she follows her dream even against her father's wishes and never seems to give up on pursuing and fighting for what she wants. Very fitting! It's a bit less of a contrast than for the other couples though because I wouldn't describe Riven as pessimistic or Musa as all sunshine. It's more in the way they approach things, they're both tenacious fighters but Musa is more positive and energized in her approach while Riven more easily veers into negative thinking and overdoing it. (And yay at that adorable S3 pic of them! Not that I don't notice a very distinct lack of any pictures from beyond S4 on this page...)
I just had to scan this one when I saw it.
