Jerome
Season 1- Ah, Season one Jerome. The trickster with hidden depths. What to say about him? Well, for one, his development for this season was great. At first all we saw of him was a guy who liked to mess with everyone else, and didn’t care. However, once Alfie went to the hospital we immediately saw something else- The fact that Jerome was utterly terrified about what would happen to his best friend. He really cared, and though this part didn’t last long, it proved he was more than just the prankster. Then, of course, came Jara. What can I really say, except, this part made it hard not to love him? He became rounded. When Mick came back, though, was when I believe his development really began to grow. It was clear that he was still trying to be a good guy for Mara, but he was jealous, and didn’t know how to deal with it. Soon after this Alfie joined Sibuna- leaving him completely alone. Joining Rufus was bad, but it’s not like he KNEW what he was getting himself into. He just wanted to be part of the team, and besides, this really fit in with all his characterization up to that point- Jerome was clever and ambitious, and though really did want to be good deep down he wasn’t perfect. He couldn’t handle being alone, and turned to the dark side just to feel included. The minute he realized Rufus was INSANE, he showed that he really was a good guy deep down, despite the fact that he was still not very nice. (An Anti Hero, if you will.) He saved Nina like twice, despite not being trusted by the others. He would never let someone get hurt, no matter what was going through his mind at the time. Heck, this was even shown way in the premier, when Nina was stealing the key. Jerome looked angry and scared when Victor was on his way to his office- he didn’t want her to get in trouble. Despite all this good, though, I shall still complain. I know he was going through a hard time, but blackmailing Alfie WAS. NOT. COOL. I could tolerate it when he was in danger, but at that point, he wasn’t. He was just being a greedy, jealous bully. Also, though I do love his softer side and S1 Jara and do believe that it was already hinted at before, the whole thing with Mara was just a little sudden. If they’ve had more conversation time before he opened up to her, It might have worked a little better, because Jerome didn’t seem like the kind of person who would just open up like that, even if it was Mara and not, say, Fabian. (But OMA imagine if it were Fabian? So many Ferome feels...) Over all, Jerome had a good development and a really good role in this season.

Season 1 Jerome adds 3/5 points. (25 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2- Well, the second season definitely built off of the first season’s characterization for him- namely, his hidden good side. In the beginning he was still the trickster we all know, but this time most of his actions had a purpose. Unlike when he would just manipulate and prank others for the fun of it, this time he seemed to be doing it mostly because of Poppy. Sure, some things were just Jerome being Jerome, but half of his time was spent dealing with her. This not only gave him more motive, but also deepened him- it showed us more of his ever popular family life. Quickly the Poppy plot turned into the plot with his father, and with it came Jara. This entire subplot- the gem search, the relationship with Poppy and his father- was just one big chain of development for him. He showed his loyalty; He proved that, now, he really was a good person. This also made him one of the biggest powerhouses in the season- He went through his own mini mystery, which actually lead him to Sibuna’s mystery- and he rocked it. Unlike Sibuna, he was right on the money with who he should and shouldn’t trust. He was the strongest force among the students- though he did screw things up- Like the matching prom dresses- he proved that even though he was still classic Jerome deep down, he was a good guy at heart. His relationship with Mara definitely needs some mention as well, and he showed development there, too- when faced with the fact that Mara was still with Mick, he still at first tried to resort to tricks to keep them apart. But by the end he’d grown enough to allow her to be with Mick- completely heartbroken, but he still decided not to get in the way of the relationship. I also want to bring up his development in the form of Rufus. In the first season he joined just to get back at Sibuna. But this time? He helped him for Trudy, the gem, and even FABIAN, because ya know that whole Jasper being blackmailed thing. In the end, Season 2 was a very high point for him as a character.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2 gets 4/5 (24 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3- Season 3, though not particularly bad, was a bit more of a lower point for him. Why? Well, first there was the whole cheating thing which, honestly, was incredibly OOC (Out Of Character). This is Jerome Clarke here people, he has proven to be faithful time and time again when he really cares about someone. How can you take someone like that and make him cheat, no matter how Mara was acting at the time? Now, part of me does understand that he only did it to avoid breaking hearts, but it was still messed up, and made him come off as a jerk, when he’d already proven he was a great guy under a slimeball shell. I liked that he was a descendent, but what I didn’t like was how this was his only mystery for the season. He’s our one man army, he should have done SOMETHING besides romantic drama, right? However, I won’t deny the fact that the romance plot probably wouldn’t have worked otherwise, because there would just be too much happening for him to do both. Disappointing, but understandable. But it also upset me that he didn’t believe Alfie or Patricia, when he has had first-hand experience with those sort of things and should have believed them from the start. This is the guy who knew automatically that Vera was evil and Jasper stole his gem, folks, and now he won’t even believe his best friend about the new mystery? Come on writers. After that, we got his humiliation parade. You know what I’m talking about; The double date thing, the song, Jeroy’s...unfortunate relationship...yeah. I don’t have to go into detail about this to say that this took him down from being sneaky yet good hearted and happy to...well, utterly depressed yet at the same time going through even more maturing- proven when he accepted the fact that the play was meant just to humiliate him, because it’d make Mara happy. In all, while his plotline for the season was in no way a disaster, it just felt OOC and too cruel even for him. But hey, there was also a lot of good. He started scheming again which was awesome. He matured to the point where it was clear that most of his bad was gone in favor of more virtues, which makes me forgive him a little for the cheating thing. And he ended up happy, which is all I really wanted for this guy. Over all, this season gave him more development and while he was OOC a couple of times, he was still the same Jerome deep down. However, it was dragged down by all that OOC, and it just felt...wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I totally love Jeroy and all, but seriously, this plot just didn’t feel right, it was too much cruelty and seemed to push more development that he didn’t really need- I like him all mature and stuff, but this is Jerome Clarke- he needs the liberty to be sneaky too, and it might just be me, but it seems like he lost that key part of his characterization for this. Or, it just made him too depressed to actually prank, which is even worse. (Yeah, I know he did stuff in TOR but still.)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3 gets 2/5. (24 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">

Mick-
<p class="MsoNormal">S1- Ah, Mick. Well, if there’s anything to say about the first season, it’s that he did one thing- romance. That’s it, yay. Okay, well to be fair he did have other small plots too- with his grades and the sports scholarship, mostly. But even that was basically just an excuse for some romantic development. What can I really say? He was just the center of the Mickber/Mickra love triangle, and not much else. Which stinks, because he was actually a great guy. Sweet and funny and actually had a good background with his dad thing, and the whole grades issue was actually kind of interesting, and I wish it was more than just a catalyst for some romance. What I do like is that despite his temper, and the love triangle, he was a likable character and he deserved much more than this season gave him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 1 gets 2.5/5 (27.5)

<p class="MsoNormal">S2- ....Awwwwww, Mick...this season was even worse for him, because it was the same as last season- only for 90% of it, he wasn’t there! I know it’s because Bobby left for Wolfblood, but I still want to rant. At least in season 1 he got a few good moments and stuff, but this time...well, he and Mara continued their on/off relationship despite that he left for Australia. However, I like that he at least went to follow his dreams- It did follow up on the last season and his love for sports, and I like how he had to think about it. It was sweet and heartbreaking at the same time, showing this was still the same Mick we loved from the last season...Then he came back in the end, and I must ask, WHAT DID YOU DO WRITERS? You all know what happened. He came back, trashed Jerome during his father’s hearing, and was less lovable and more jerkish. But I’m going to defend him and make a point that OF COURSE HE WASN’T IN A GOOD MOOD. I mean think about it. He came half way across the world so he and Mara could talk out their problems face to face- while Mara was already about to leave him for Jerome. He went to John’s hearing despite not knowing him, just because Mara was going. Sure he trashed Jerome, but he knew Jerome as the sneaky one who was NOT a good guy, and why wouldn’t he? Mick wasn’t around to see him change. And they were enemies; of course he wouldn’t just accept that Jerome had a change of heart right away. Then Mara kissed Jerome and Mick was ushered offscreen with no closure. I mean, seriously. He didn’t deserve that! Mick was a guy who deserved much more development and time than he was given, and was stuck being rather two dimensional by the second season finale. But to be fair, I have to point out that he did change a little this season- He was trying his hardest to stay with Mara. It’s not his fault things fell apart; Maybe, during the time he left and the time we first saw him on video chat, Mick really did grow up a little- we just didn’t get to see it happen. In all, I feel really bad for him. He had the potential to be a really great character, and just wasn’t allowed to live up to it- but yet I still see some growth in him, honestly still believe he was not being a jerk in the finale.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2 gets 1.5/5 (27.5)

<p class="MsoNormal">

Mara-
<p class="MsoNormal">S1- What to say about season 1 Mara? Let’s see. Well, she did nothing but deal with the love triangle, but as a character, she was actually done alright. She was first just the smart, kind ‘nerd’ who had a thing for Mick despite being Amber’s best friend. It was early on that she began to make mistakes- like cheat for Mick, which was also the first time she began to show her different side. By the time she and Mick kissed, she didn’t change too much, but was given a bit of background and was a little more rounded as a character. Then she learned she was ‘boring’, and...BOOM. Bad!Mara. Okay, Bad Mara was extremely entertaining. Just saying. But this was also when she made another bad move- the pictures. This proved how far she was willing to go for revenge, which will come back in season 3. It also proved she wasn’t perfect- far from it, really, and that’s what the good thing was. However, this was just a bad thing to do in general, I’m also annoyed that her only punishment was that Mick dumped her. I mean, I didn’t want her expelled or something, but come on writers, you should have given her SOME form of punishment that does not involve the love triangle. Next came the Jara development, which in all honesty was development for Jerome with her acting as the catalyst. Because she didn’t change from this; proven the minute Mick came back. Yeah, then she became the student rep and all that, but the big thing was the fighting with Amber. THIS was a big deal because those two started as such close friends, and then they ended up as complete rivals. It’s like Patrina but backwards I guess. Anyways, by the end she was with Mick and yadda yadda yadda. So, what really happened for her? Well, she only had the romance plot and so it minimized her role in the season significantly. Also, she didn’t exactly develop- she became more rounded and showed different assets of her personality, but by the end she was mostly a static character. Overall, they did well on showing us who Mara was, but they didn’t do well at actually changing her, no matter what her situation was, and her role was disappointing at best and became tedious at worst.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 1 gets 2.5/5 (30 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2- Following from the last season, this one started her off...as the same character she was in the other season. Yay. But once it became apparent Mick was leaving...something started happening. Meaning, she actually began to grow. She let Mick leave and follow his dream, despite it being very hard on her, and at first she was still doing her best to be loyal to him despite their breakup. Soon she entered a new little plot- The Team Clarke one. This one was done very well and, while helping Jara to develop as a couple, it also set her on a new path. I also enjoy the Vera Investigation, because let’s face it- until TOR, this is the closest Mara had ever gotten to the mystery. AND SHE ROCKED IT! Seriously, she figured out Vera in one episode while it took Sibuna like half a season. And what I had hoped was that this would set her on the path to join the mystery. Well, unfortunately, after her near suspension, that chance was gone, at least until they set up another Red Herring in the form of the ghost hunt, but that’ll be covered soon. Okay, so the investigation, besides just proving Mara could be great in the mystery if she got the chance, also gave Mara her first non-romantic subplot. Then Miss Valentine showed up, and you know what happened here- She was told Mick had a girlfriend, so what did she do? Fake date Jerome of course. Okay, all the Jara awesomeness aside, this became annoying just because her obliviousness was even WORSE. Yeah, really, because it was so clear Jerome had feelings for her. However, despite messing with the emotions of fans everywhere, this plot also kickstarted yet another thing- The restart of Mickra! Okay, so by far the best part of her story arc was this part towards the end of the season, when she was dating Mick but falling for Jerome, as well as entering yet another almost mystery plotline in the Ghost Hunt. While I hated how she flirted with Eddie, there is no denying that their friendship was adorable. It stinks that they had to take down the article, because honestly, it could have worked as a way to get them in Sibuna by being stamped or something. Whatever though, because now it’s time for her actual development- her struggling to choose between Mick and Jerome. Finally she realized she liked Jerome and he liked her, but at the same time she was still with Mick. Not only did all of this help prove that she did mature enough to actually have to make the choice, but it was just the fact that there was a choice at all. Earlier she’d have just kept staying with Mick, but now? Just the fact that she matured and realized Jerome was a better option was enough to prove that she did, in fact, grow up. However, I am disappointed in the ending. I wish there actually was a chance for she and Mick to talk, end on good terms, and officially end the arc. But no, they just made her argue with Mick and then kiss Jerome. So...yeah, in all this season gave Mara a ton of promise and potential, and while she did change in the end, over all she never really was given the chance to truly grow as a character and expand her role, which was really disappointing.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2 gets 2.5/5 (30 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3- .....Well, all characters have a low point in their time on the show, and this was definitely hers. Okay, at first she was perfectly normal Mara, in a nice healthy relationship with Jerome, which was nice to see. Her relationship with Willow started out nicely, with them just naturally clashing due to different personalities. And for a while she was fine. Sure she and Jerome broke up, but then they got back together once she accepted his apology...which is where our first small problem lays. He went through a ton to get her to accept him back, and it just kind of rubs me the wrong way that it took her so long to get back with him. And I’m going to pause this and go off on a mini rant, but has anyone ever noticed that whenever a couple in the show has an issue it’s usually always the boy who has to resolve it? (Unless it’s Peddie, they’re pretty equal on that part.) Just...think about it. I don’t need to give examples, I know you guys will think of them on your own. Back to Mara, this is when the new problem started. Namely, the cheating thing. Let’s just skip to when she learns Jerome was cheating, because this is when she actually changed. And by changed, I mean, her season 1 revenge trait that basically rivals Patricia if Patricia never actually ended up calming down came back and came back HARD. First I was happy with her revenge- Jerome deserved it, and it was funny. But...then came Operation Heartbreak, and this is where we really got to see her morph into somewhat of a villain. I say somewhat, because we all know she was hurt and still secretly wanted Jerome and I have nothing against her for that. What I am against is what she did. Mara was still the same Mara deep down, but it was hidden under a shell of cruelty and jealousy. This is the same thing that happened to Patricia in early season one and Joy in season two. I see a trend here. Anyways, what can I say about this, except that she went too far and while what she was doing to Jerome was...wrong, what she did to Joy was even worse, because while I do understand that she was hurt and heartbroken, it’s just not right to go after a friend who was trying to help her despite having feelings for the enemy. Okay, so she did calm down in the end after the hedgehog incident, and helped Jeroy reunite, but here’s the problem- SHE NEVER GOT ANY SORT OF KARMA. I mean, what can I say? She did wrong, but in the end got off scot free, and that just bugs me. Why do the writers not like to punish Mara or Nina? Over all, this season was just hard to watch. First she got her heartbroken by Jerome and then she transformed into a mini-villain, which though is understandable, was just...wrong. The upside? She had character development. Unfortunate development, but it was development all the same, and all based around a flaw. I also hate that she was, once again, only used for romantic drama, and her redemption, though nice, just seemed kind of shoehorned in in an attempt to copy Jerome and Joy’s arcs.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3 gets 1.5/5 (25.5)

Joy
<p class="MsoNormal">Season 1- Okay, I liked her in season 1, though we barely got any scenes of her. She came off as cool and likable, and though she liked Fabian she was still a great character, with a good role despite the fact that she was only in like four episodes. She was clearly suffering from the chosen one thing, and she even showed development- because come on, clearly she had some change between the first and last episode, even though it was off screen. Because in the end she ended up submitting to her father and Victor...which we know that before she probably would have resisted. Also Joytricia. Over all, she was pretty well done this season, even though she was never really on screen- she seemed to get a better role in the story than some of the main characters did, and more development to boot.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 1 gets 3/5 (33 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2- And this is when I became really disappointed. I was honestly hoping Joy wouldn’t be as villainous as everyone portrayed her in fanfics, but no, she was. Before we get to that part, though, we need to start at the beginning- where she was still a mini villain, just for liking Fabian. Thing is, while she flirted and stuff, she did nothing huge until after Fabina broke up, so I just want to remind ya’ll of that. At first she was mildly annoying at worse, but wasn’t too bad really. It wasn’t until Fabina broke up that she really started getting on my nerves. First it was just flirting and being too stubborn to get that Fabian didn’t like her, but then came the dance. I know the kiss was allowed because Fabian was single at the time it happened, but the trick was just low either way. Honestly, my main problem is not the fact that she and Fabian kissed, it’s the circumstances surrounding the kiss. This is when her character started getting a little low, and when she tried to claim it was Fabian who was trying to date her, it just made it worse. Joy began to redeem herself in my eyes when her attempts to date him ended up as just being pathetic and funny, and you knew she wouldn’t win which actually made it a little sad. Especially when he started trying to ignore her, and you could tell that she wasn’t only trying to date him, but trying to be friends with him as well. Unfortunately we got even worse from here, with Fabian having to convince her to drop the Ghost article, which was basically just low scale manipulation. She honestly made me sympathize when they spoke, and seeing her nearly cry was heartbreaking. This made me like her again and it made it seem like she’d be slowly redeemed. Well, we all know that didn’t happen. What did happen? Jack Jackal happened. Because this is HOA, and we should have realized that characters don’t redeem themselves so quickly unless they’re Sibuna members, because this way it adds drama. Thing with this part is that it did help to make her grow a bit- but in the wrong way. What would have been nice would have been if she and Nina could talk things through and she started to become better as a person, but lol, no, instead she just became even harder to tolerate even if you did sympathize with her reasoning. She really crossed the line by turning on Mara and Patricia, who were the most loyal to her up to that point. She wanted her friends back, but was unwilling to actually just apologize and try and better herself. Thank goodness for the end- because the minute Fabian let her join the team, she transformed, and became a much more likable character. Honestly, though I did hate what she did, I never hated Joy herself, and I was thrilled when she was finally given the chance to be redeemed. Also, I swear she fell into the same position Jerome was in last time- it was no longer about Fabian, but the fact that she felt ostracized no matter what she did, or at least that’s what it seemed like, because then she actually saved both Nina and Fabian and made up and yadda yadda. Over all, her characterization was just a rollercoaster of sympathetic and intolerable behavior. I loved her final redemption, but honestly it was done a lot better with Jerome- who was already leaning towards becoming a good guy. But Joy? Well, though it was satisfying and written well, it just came out of nowhere. To put it simply- Her personality and actions became hard to watch, and while she was redeemed I’d have preferred if it was a little more gradual, or done in a different way. (Talk with Nina maybe?)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2 gets 1.5/5 (31.5)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3- Oh, Joy, Joy, Joy, why is your life such a mess? You all know what happened. First, she was the same Joy that she was post-Senet in the last season- A likable character who was still into Fabian and was finally ready to date him now that Nina was gone. Which, btw, I was rooting for. She and Fabian were cute whenever they weren’t in opposition, and I’d have loved them getting together. But because this is Anubis and the writers like to mess with our emotions, she was instead given the worst rejecting so far on the show. By Fabian. Yeah. I also need to bring up Sibuna, because for once she was finally a member- just to quit by the end of the first few episodes. If that wasn’t a severe let down, I don’t know what is. But at least she finally started growing and got over Fabian- and got her epic makeover. I mean, really, this is how her development all started for this season. By learning to be herself, and look amazing/act confident while doing so. The descendent thing, like for the others, was great, but like Jerome, it got me hoping she’d rejoin Sibuna or something, but instead she just refused to come back while getting annoyed at them for staying secretive. Really, this could have been done much better, and while I’m thrilled she got the role, the writers missed out on a wonderful chance to give her her best role yet. Instead we got the beginning of Jeroy- which, let’s be honest, was still a pretty fine plot. For one it allowed her to mature and actually find someone who she belonged with, while it also made her depressed, yet again, which seems like a theme each season for her. I wish she had stood up to Mara instead of just letting things fall apart, but yet I honestly have to say that her conflicting loyalties between Jerome and Mara was done very well. It was clear she was struggling and confused and though she wanted to do what was right, she also wanted to help Mara, and it was a good way to make her change. In the end it just became cruel for her, however, and at the same time really irritating, because by then I just wanted Jeroy to kiss and be happy and be friends with Mara. While I don’t like how she didn’t read Jerome’s letter, I do like her reasoning- wanting to remain friends with Mara and not end up making things worse. Then they got back together and yeah. In all, this season was probably her best yet, even though it was just a huge mess for her. She showed the most growth as a character in this one, and though I’m annoyed that she left Sibuna, she was probably the one to end up with the hardest social issue and struggle with what she believes is right and what she promised Mara. I was happy with her this season, despite some of her choices.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3 gets 4/5 (29.5 points)

Eddie-
<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2- Eddie started off with a bang. He had personality- evident from his very first line. He was the bad boy, who liked causing trouble like Jerome only more openly. But he was far from being a bad guy, which became evident by the time the dance rolled around. He was a troublemaker, but he had a heart. This trend continued being his basic characterization even after Peddie kissed, because he was still out to cause trouble. However, a few things did change- the reveal of Sweetie being his dad was not only a good twist, but it helped round him. He had a backstory and a personal problem besides just being the American bad boy with a heart of gold and a love/hate with Patricia. His friendship with Mara was cute, if not completely adorable, and gave him an outlet for his good side- sure he shows it a little with Patricia, but Mara was the one he was always supporting. However, none of this changed the fact that his basic role was basically just being Patricia’s love interest, because that’s where a majority of his characterization laid. Which isn’t a bad thing- you could see him changing just based off their interactions, and it lead to all the other stuff- The Mr. Sweet thing, Meddie, etc. That is, until, the Osirian thing happened. While I liked him as the Osirian, and how he rocked it in the ending, it was just sort of out of nowhere. Sure we had some small hints, but really, it just seemed shoehorned in as a way to add a twist. Over all, though, Eddie was a strong character this season and developed more in one season than half the characters did in two.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 2 gets 4/5 (35.5 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3- Once this season rolled along, Eddie had ended up as the protagonist of the show, which was kind of expected as he was the Osirian and all. However, I have to complain just a little, in that being the protagonist watered down all of his bad boy traits and made him more of a standard hero. I wish he was still the same character from the last season, who had to mature over time to be a leader. But really, he was still a strong protagonist. He had his flaws and his hardships, especially concerning his relationship with his father- which was one of the most realistic relationships of the show IMO- ignoring Mr.Sweet being suddenly evil, it was just so real to see Eddie struggle to cope with this discovery, and how he kept trying to trust his father despite knowing he’d be betrayed again. This was one of my favorite subplots, which became disappointing because there was no resolution. Seriously, they had one of the strongest family subplots yet and didn’t even let us see if he and Sweetie ever made up. In terms of being the main character, it was a fresh change, and I was happy that it wasn’t all about him like Season 2 was all about Nina. It let him shine along with the other characters. It was nice to see him learn exactly how Sibuna worked while still being a good leader. While I did wish Fabian were leader instead, he did alright, except for all the mistakes he made. I liked how focused he was, with rare exceptions (Like the dodgeball game.) In all, I felt he was a strong protagonist. However, I need to complain a little. Like I said before, his original personality just seemed to have disappeared in between seasons. He made a ton of rookie mistakes, and let’s add that while he did have some interesting development with relationships, Peddie’s plot required almost no character growth, The plot with his dad was left unfinished, and the thing with Benji came out of nowhere and was then just gone and forgotten about because it seemed just like a way to add more Peddie drama and get the characters to play dodgeball. Basically, I saw him as a well rounded, strong protagonist with a lot of great moments, but one that also lacked some basic elements that the other season had provided much better.

<p class="MsoNormal">Season 3 gets 3.5/5 (33.5 points)

<p class="MsoNormal">

KT-
<p class="MsoNormal">Because she’s only in the third season, I won’t bother with the category thing. Instead, let’s just talk about her. Following in Nina and Eddie’s footsteps, she was introduced as the new American girl that would be our new protagonist. I won’t start complaining about all the new Americans, but all I need to say is that well, at first, she just seemed like a Nina replacement. But she was tougher than Nina too, proven when she actually was willing to fight back against Patricia. She also had a little more backstory- considering her Grandfather actually died, unlike Nina’s gran, and the fact that she had been sent on a mission to stop ‘a great evil’, which remained her main goal throughout the season. And she always reminded us every episode. See, my main problem with KT was not that she was close to Eddie or that she was replacing Nina or anything like that- it’s just the fact that she’d never stop talking about her great grandfather, even though said grandfather was Frombie, and thus he was trying to awaken Ammit and destroy the world. Her dedication to him as a great granddaughter, however, actually lead to some development similar to Eddie’s only with an actual resolution and slightly higher stakes. The ending where she had to choose between Robert or her quest was actually done well, besides it being really rushed. I like that she was hardly involved in romantic drama, which was a nice change because everyone else was. There was also that part where everyone thought she was a sinner, which not only turned Sibuna into temporary jerks, it also added to the fact that KT was the newbie, and she was the one they still didn’t trust even after Sibuna had formed. It was hard to watch her get treated like that, but I like how she nearly left- not because she was about to leave, but because she didn’t. It said a lot that she was still loyal enough to stay and help, despite everyone thinking they were the sinner. Over all, while she wasn’t incredibly exciting, she was still a good character with a good arc and some development as well.

Willow-
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh Willow, Willow, Willow. What can I say? Her role was mostly just romance, which didn’t bother me too much, considering she was just...so...Willow. I mean, I don’t think I have to go into detail about her character...You all know her, so let’s just skip that part. First, well, she was just the one who always bouncing around, tagging along with the Anubis kids, despite not being part of the House. Then she starting dating Jerome...and hey, she showed a newer side- a deeper side, especially in the costume closet scene. It showed up again when she was trying to befriend Joy, proving that she was more than just a nutball, and was in fact much smarter than she seemed. However, it wasn’t until learning Jerome was cheating on her that things really changed for her. Willow actually showed a devious side of all things during the pranks, but quickly stopped helping as soon as she realized things were going too far. Mostly, however, she stayed pretty much the same, no matter the circumstance. The most development she got character wise and plot wise was at the end, after Sinner!Alfie dumped her. It was heartbreaking to see her crying...especially in contrast to her usual cheerful attitude. Then she joined Sibuna temporarily...which was AWESOME, because she actually got to be part of the mystery. Over all, though, Willow remained mostly static- which isn’t too bad, considering she was already a fine character. A little more backstory and plot for her would have been great, but I was still satisfied simply because she was already likable from the start.
