Been thinking about how Shen Yuan was put into Shen Jiu's body so he still looks exactly like him but at the same time people can tell there is something different. I love seeing how people represent that in art but it's reminding me of another set of characters from Fire Emblem Engage who have the exact same body but very different attitudes. I'm talking about Zephia and Zelestia.
Basic jist, Zephia and Zelestia are mirror universe counterparts of one another who have a similar core but different attitudes. Both want to have families for different reasons. Zephia has thrown in her lot with the evil dragon overlord and wants to have a child with him so that she can have a stronger connection to him. She calls the evil squad she's apart of a family but uses threats and kills them if they don't meet her expectations. She dies next to the only member of the group she has left after they both realize that the evil dragon overlord never cared about anyone but his goal.
Zelestia is a survivor of a massacre by the evil dragon overlord and has been working with the good dragon for centuries so that she can defeat him. She also has a good version of the evil squad on her side and they actually get to act as a real family. She's very motherly and loves to take care of people. She's also a marriage candidate.
Honestly it's kind of fun to compare them with Shen Qingqiu. They're outfits are almost identical but you can still see in how they carry themselves that they're different. Plus I can imagine the kind of psychosexual issues both Binghe's would have if Shen Qingqiu ran around dressed like that. Airplane would have definitly written a knock off wife version of them if Engage didn't come out nearly 10 years after he'd died.
I don't know I just think this is a fun comparison no one else has thought of, mostly because you don't really play Engage for the plot but the game play. I still love it though. It's really campy.
