   Let’s also get a bit into Pyra’s personality, because obviously it’s part of her appeal. I’m not gonna do any in-depth character analysis in this thread, but suffice to say, she’s a genuinely good and sympathetic character with a lot of depth to her, and there’s actually a very good in-universe explanation for Pyra being such a perfect Waifu.
   
   Because Pyra really IS the perfect Waifu: Unfailingly polite, considerate, sweet and pleasant, a submissive people pleaser that’s quick to apologize for any real or perceived wrong she commits, Pyra is about as far from the Modern Feminist Woman as she can possibly be. Of course, Pyra *does* have a backbone, indeed, she has ferocious willpower and WILL stand up to injustice committed against others, but tooting her own horn or putting others down to make herself feel better is completely foreign to her nature.
   
   Here’s also a girl who’s not only an excellent cook, but who’s happy to wash the dishes afterwards, indeed, she explicitly says that she *likes* to help out around the house, because it’s satisfying for her to prove herself useful outside of battle. She’s actively looking for ways to make herself more appealing and attractive to her man (that’s what the notorious Blushy Crushy heart-to-heart was all about), and obviously chill enough that she has no problem sharing Rex with two other women (hell, one Xenoblade 2 intro screen shows her actively inviting Nia to join her, Rex and Mythra).
   
   At the same time, there are reasons to think that Pyra’s not quite as innocent as she makes herself out to be. For starters, she’s Mythra’s other self, sharing Mythra’s extensive knowledge about the world, which would naturally include an understanding of the male mind (which Mythra considers quite perverted) and terms like “one-eyed monster”….so when you see Pyra repeatedly shoving her tits in Rex’s face, I’m tempted to pull a Marco Rubio and say that she knows exactly what she’s doing. She also jumps to the assumption that Rex is a Sadist remarkably quickly after he accidentally rubs some medicine a bit too hard on a flesh wound of hers, which would also seem to hint at Pyra having some “interesting” ideas about the male mind.
   
   Basically, while Pyra really IS in possession of all the ideal female virtues, there’s no reason to assume she’s this über-sheltered womanchild whose first response to seeing a penis would be to scream and cry (and that’s even without considering how Rex has probably not even hit 20 by the time he makes her a mother). If anything, Pyra has a distinct “Lady in the streets, Whore in the sheets” energy to her, and within the lewder spaces of the Xenoblade 2 fandom there seems to be a widespread belief that she’s sexually a lot more confident and assertive than Mythra, who’s viewed as surprisingly meek and submissive when truly rendered exposed and vulnerable. While certainly not the kind of “dommy mommy” that Fagmenco seeks, Pyra is at the very least perceived as more adventurous and daring, while still very much committed to pleasing her man (who she’s also happy to share).
   
   Oh, and her daughter is super hot too. How many other iconic vidya Waifus can say *that* for themselves?
   
   @Rasterman, you admitted my Min Min analysis was on-point, and you can't deny the same is true for THIS effortpoast.

     @ChristiJunior @Rasterman Speaking of Glimmer, Rex watches K-On! and fights to create a world where Glimmer can join an after-school band and play with her friends instead of being a child soldier trapped in an eternal hellscape. Rex really is /ourguy/ at his core.

     @ArdainianRight @Rasterman It also seems pretty clear that Mio is Rex and Nia's daughter, which would mean that Rex is so far 2 for 2 in terms of having musically inclined children.

     @Rasterman @jeff How the fuck could Pyra have boobs that big if she was starving under a communist regime? :assad_wut:
     
     Living in a communist country is why Min Min is an A-Cup.
     luithe repeated this.

     @jeff @ChristiJunior Bear in mind it's also a communism simulator. The whole cutscene discussing Marx's labour theory of value went on for a bit too long, but it came after an hour of following waypoints, so I was glad I could rest for a bit. The pop quiz about Lenin's childhood at the end caught me by surprise, tho.

     @marine @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @Rasterman @AidanTTIerian Look. You can borrow my dick for that part. Just don't demand alimony and if the kid gets bullied I'm going make the bully disappear.
