Just wanted to share my appreciation for Kora for a second. I'm fond of all the characters in mhs3, but she stands out to me quite a bit. I think she's a very very strong character, and one of the most loyal.
After fighting for survival to scour up ore back in Vermeil, she comes across Queen Amara by chance; who immediately takes her under her wing. Kora immediately dedicates herself to Azuria, remaining long after both Queen Amara disappears and Lucas dies.
Kora, who mourns the loss of her husband, finds the strength to move on and even speak freely about Lucas.
Kora, who seems to bear no ill will towards Ogden for never being there, and even letting him tag along on geological surveys.
Kora, who despite feeling disconnected initially, still goes out of her way to provide for Azuria. Excellently, mind you, finding multiple caverns of ore for the kingdom.
Kora, who knows what the protagonist is going through once they lose Simon. She is intimately familiar with sorrow and the grieving process, and extends a helping hand when they notice the protagonist faltering.
Kora, who has gone through so much hardship and challenge and heartbreak, only thinks of helping and caring for others. Despite everyone she's lost, she is constantly *there.* A pillar of support and defense against any who threaten those she cares about.
