What do you think of Ratana? She only did two characters (Ishtar and Leonie) but still managed to make them distinct.
Also Leonie is my fav don’t judge me.
What, I love Leonie! I know a lot of people have issues with her (which I can understand, she kind of comes off as too jealous over Jeralt) but she also resolves that jealousy and apologizes to you (Plus when Jeralt dies, she apologizes for crying and acknowledges that it should be hurting you way more than it hurts her). I like to think that between Leonie and Alois and Byleth, Leonie's like your sister and Alois is the big-brother/uncle type of character. Definitely no hate here for her (and can I say her Three Hopes timeskip haircut was WAY better than her Three Houses haircut, no offense. It just fit her character better).
But anyways, Ratana plays Ishtar and Leonie (and I actually didn't realize she played Ishtar until now, lol).
So I think her performance for both is outstanding. Ishtar is quiet, troubled (in her original unit appearance), reflective (in her Ascended unit), and determined to do good. I think the line about one of the dolls she's holding was precious, and MAN I just think Ascended Heroes was a great idea, Ishtar and Idunn and Joshua show that. Leonie is very matter-of-fact and outgoing, and I love how expressive her voice is compared to Ishtar. Ratana's got a very youthful voice, and it works to her benefit.
I think she was perfectly fit for both characters, as I think she delivers her lines for Ishtar and Leonie flawlessly. No complaints on that end.
Ok, this one will surprise some people... I think she's got some darn good range. I know I usually state that tone and inflection make for good acting and differentiating characters but not for range, but... She makes her voice so quiet that there's kind of a whisper to her voice, and it changes so drastically when Leonie is loud and clear-spoken and doesn't have that quality to her voice. I kind of wanna see her voice more characters, maybe even a Book villain sometime!
Overall, I think Ratana's an 8/10, and I'll bump it up to a 9 if she gets a brand new character to voice.
