Between Hollowhart, Snora and Swannsong, which pairing do you prefer?
Kat/Swann, but I love how all the main ships with Swann have something to love about them.
Swann and Autumn are probably the most similar, personality-wise. I love how Autumn values mutual support and care and appreciates when Swann looks out for her the way she looks out for her loved ones. Autumn is so considerate and careful with her words and actions, never plowing through a social interaction like the others might, and is overall understanding of others' mistakes.
Nora and Swann have the most chemistry. Nora's flirting right out of the gate and makes it very clear she finds Swann attractive. I love how much this helps Swann's self-esteem as a plus-sized loner to not only find friends who accept her, but experience romance and flirtation for the first time. The shared looks, compliments, and close-up shots of their blushing faces really capture that butterflies in-love feeling so well.
Kat and Swann are my fave pairing because their connection is based the most in a shared background and innate understanding of each other. They're both the newcomers to the group and came from friendless backgrounds. Even if you don't romance her, Kat still says, "Meeting you felt like... fate. We're both sorta loners, and I finally felt like someone got me." The game also shows how they have a lot in common despite their different personalities, like their love of Emily Dickinson's poetry, nature, and animals. They both have home lives they want to escape, and their special moment in the cabin attic is so sweet. For how rough around the edges Kat can be, I love how only Swann brought out her soft, tender side, like the haircut scene or Kat getting flustered after Swann pulled out her splinter and smiled at her. Kat and Swann's romance also has the most narrative weight: they're the first two to find the Abyss and Kat's illness adds a layer of depth and tragedy to the whole thing. They even call each other soulmates!! Closest thing to Pricefield, imo.
Thanks for asking!
