Voting ended onAug 23, 2024

Zhou Zhiruo is a Buddhist nun of the Emei sect.

Mercedes von Martritz is a nun of the Church of Saint Seiros at Garreg Mach Monastery.

Zhou Zhiruo

Arguably the central antagonist of HSDS, an epic novel adapted into multiple 40+ episode TV series. Most powerful female character in HSDS. Using Nine Yin White Bone Claw at a tournament for the position of leader of the Wulin she defeated every other martial artist who came and was crowned leader of the martial arts world.

Mercedes von Martritz

Mercedes was born to the fallen House Martritz and bore a minor Crest of Lamine, a special type of blood that gave it's bearer enhanced abilities. Her father died shortly afterwards and Mercedes' mother remarried into House Bartels, giving birth to Emile von Bartels, who also had a minor Crest of Lamine. Mercie's stepfather was uncaring and only married for his new wife's crest which led to said wife's departure from House Bartels. She ran away with only her eldest child to the Kingdom, where Mercedes would really start her own life as a student of Fhirdiad's Royal School of Sorcery. There, she befriended Annette Fantine Dominic and both girls would later attend Garreg Mach Monastery together. Mercedes is a kind soul with a soft voice and the ability to speak her mind. She's the eldest student attending the Officer's Accademy and takes it upon herself to be a shoulder of support for her classmates, no matter their origin. When the timeskip hits, Mercie returns in a nun's garb and expresses reinforced belief in the Church, even in the route where you fight against the Archbishop. I find her extremely fascinating due to her sub-plot with her brother, Emile. Mercedes held deep regret for leaving her brother behind in House Bartels despite not knowing that he had chosen to stay behind to protect her and her mother. Emile later returns as The Death Knight, a general under the Flame Emperor's command and his story with his sister changes depending on the player's route. Should the player oppose the Flame Emperor, Emile and Mercie can reunite briefly, with The Death Knight granting Mercedes a relic that can only be operated by their Crest before dying in her arms in a later battle, happy to be with his family once again. In the event that the player does side with the Flame Emperor, The Death Knight becomes playable alongside his sister, revealing thatthe years spent in House Bartels changed him, giving rise to two distinct personalities: Jeritza von Hyrm and The Death Knight. Jeritza had been a teacher at Garreg Mach, serving as a spy to the Flame Emperor while The Death Knight quelled his bloodlust under the Flame Emperor's orders. In this route, Mercedes reaches out to both Jeritza and The Death Knight as their elder sister and the exchanges they have are some of my favorites in Fire Emblem history. Also Mercie is bisexual and both M!player and F!player can marry her in the end, regardless of route. Love her for that

Lin Yushen 林雨申 as Yang Xiao 杨逍 | Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre 2019

A first look at the new Heavenly Sword Dragon Saber 2018.

Actually looks not half bad, this is literally my all time favorite wuxia story and what got me into wuxia so I’m so nervous that it’s going to be bad.

Heavenly Sword Dragon Sabre 2019 - Yang Xiao fanmade MV

@endlessthoughtsofafangirl @drunkensword @wuxiarocks  @wuxia-hero 

I haven’t watched this, but Lin Yushen who acts as Yang Xiao has been getting some attention for his role. He seems really badass in this fanmade MV though.

I LOVE HIM 嘴真的好贱哈哈哈哈. I love all the micro-expressions on his face, the way the actor (he dubbed himself) brought out the finest details in his line delivery, and the 'yo' when fighting Miejue. Aso that entire scene how he described his history with Guhongzi. That whole scene was a huge display of subtext towards his enemy: "你太菜了。。。怎么还阴魂不散 *eye roll*“ and then he just HAD to emphasise that the Heavenly Sword wasn't lost by him HAHAHAHAH

The actor showed emotional depth when needed and everything was done with an appropriate dosage at an appropriate time. He has the right aura, the right carriage, the right amount of grace, the right amount of melancholy, and manages to finely balance suaveness without making Yang Xiao seem like he came out of a nightclub. Finally, we get a Yang Xiao that's good. Cue war flashbacks to the version that starred Alec Su Youpeng as Zhang Wuji.
