ROUND 2 - Prince Rufus vs Roald Ragnor

The freckles.
Roald Ragnor
He has three distinct personas, and we don't yet know quite what he's up to! Also, he's romantically obsessed with Jemis (and, I believe vice versa), which is exceptionally good taste. I love how he's always teasing his friends with what's going on, but that he has a higher cause that is actually important to him that he doesn't want to just give away. I just really like that he's basically Batman, kind of a dumb playboy in his public persona, fighting for a cause as his costumed persona, and with a secret true third persona who only those very close to him get to see.
As my boy is currently neck to neck with Prince Rufus, I feel obligated to add to his hype. Jemis Greenwing gets apologies from a few people over the course of the series and deserves them from many more, but my boy Roald Ragnor gives him “as handsome an apology as I’d ever received.”
He is a good friend. He covers for Perry’s wild magic bursting out in Whiskeyjack and in Stargazy Pie when Jemis is barely speaking to him he still demands to know what intentions the woman he thinks is an Indrilline (he doesn’t seem to know she’s a spy) has for Jemis.
Demi king of my heart, he doesn’t figure out that he had feelings for Jullanar Maebh until after she’d broken up with him.
He lights up when Jemis addresses him as “Roald” for the first time and forgives him for their fight.
When he has a bitter falling out with Jemis over his gambling, Roald still manages to recognize the truth in Jemis’s words and to pull himself out of the hole he’s digging for himself before it’s too late. That would be enough, honestly, but then he throws himself into a cause he cares about even though it isolates him and pushes away people he cares for. Even though his father is an outspoken part of the anti-magic faction.
Roald is a delight of a character. Please vote for him.
I am not voting for Rufus, I am throwing my vote away for the Rufus/Felicia/Kip crack ship. Fandom did this. You know who you are
