To me, certain types of video games are all about the story, the characters and how we react to them. With that being said, the reaction can be something good, bad, or in the middle. In this case my reaction was both good and bad as Cheria Barnes from Tales of Graces F is a character that I have a love/hate relationship with for many reasons. I have recently realized that while I enjoy the more flamboyant and energetic characters (think Pascal or even Riku from FFX), I actually sympathize and understand the shyer, demure characters like Cheria a bit more. My best guess to this would be that since I do have a shy side I can relate to these types of characters and see the strength in them even when they are unsure of their own strength.
