| This came to mind during the endless discussion we are all enjoying concerning the progress/regress of the relationship between Louise and Saito. Has anyone even stopped to consider if there might be a morale violation involved between a mage falling in love with their familiar? Normally the familiar is an animal or monster of some description that typically does not fit that of a human or even another creature with complex intelligent thought. We all understand that the two main characters love one another, despite some reucrring issues with trust and misunderstandings. The natural response to two teenagers falling love is that it's fine, so put that thought out of your mind. Is it OK for a mage to involve themselves in an intimate relationship with their familiar that goes beyond the normal closeness implied in the realities master/familiar relationship? |
| Kind regards Sidoen  |
| In Saito and Louise's case yes it's okay. Because although he's a familiar he was still human to begin with and everyone sees that. if he wasn't human but an animal it would be very wrong. |
 |
| It's frowned upon as seen in season 2 episode 4. Especially for nobles like the Valliere family. Louise's sister Eleanor knew he's important to her but in the last episode (season 2), she still said "it's just your familiar", referring to him lowly. But hey, Saito was summoned as extraordinary familiar, maybe his level is that of a commoner. He can speak human language (Louise's accidental spell), have the Gandarf rune, fought battles, and lately became a Chevalier. I think everyone pretty much understand the situation at this point. |
 |
| Hmmm that's a couple of good points, ones I tend to agree with. They deal primarily with social status rather then morale issues I suppose. |
| Kind regards Sidoen |
| I think you mean Moral issues, Morale deals with the general happiness of a group of people like any US Base probably has an MWR Center or a Morale Welfare Recreation Center. Moral issues deals with a person's sense of right and wrong. |
     |
| Yes my mistake, it's moral not morale. I would argue though that the familiar in this world at least is not considered a body guard as much as a life long companion. Remember that most other familiars summoned by Louise's classmates are not really suitable as protection. The instructor, when the summoning class was being held in Season 1, did refer to them as life long companions which would define who they are. Saito is the exception in this case obviously and gives us one of the very few examples of a familiar capable of physical defense. However that said I do recognize that we have not truly seen many other familiars in combat. |
| Kind regards Sidoen |
