Charlotte from the latest Fire Emblem Fates. If you look closely you can see she has high heels on.
While I understand her gimmick is wooing richer men to spoil herself, I basically find the design embarrassing.
I feel that the biggest flaw with these designing a character around them being seductive approaches is that they sort of disregard for the idea that:
- Seduction is a personal and intimate thing, particularly if it’s for something longer than overnight.
- People with wealth and power can usually have attractive company any time they like without being seduced and fleeced.
- Advertising that you’re trying to be seductive and sexy probably doesn’t help them relax and slip into being seduced.
From what I can gather about Charlotte… part of her being a seductress is she’s trying to pretend to be innocent and she’s also meant to be a mighty warrior. I can’t help but think that maybe more armor would help her with both of her goals.
