offtopic but not really deserving of another thread here, re: Greil, FE9 does play pretty hardball with at least one lady - there's nothing soft or nice about the way Petrine goes down, and in a lot of ways I think she does reflect on a lot that ends up on dudes. She's powerhungry and vicious and none of it gets watered down with "well she loves Ashnard" or "her life is really sad" (there's the branded thing, but it's a tidbit that I don't think canon uses to excuse her) or any of the weirdness that goes into the morphs. I don't think she's an especially interesting character myself, but I do have to give her props for being a "type" that you usually don't see in women. (Series still needs more female antagonists, especially ones that don't fall into "evil hag mom" a la Sonia, arguably Hilda, et al.)
