Under a Passionate Moon

This work of art done by the skilled ~Mitgard-Master of my favorite couple in the Tales of Symphonia series.

Yes, I have come out to say that I am a Lloyd/Sheena fan, Sheena is just one of the most adorable woman in the game in my personal opinion. She and Lloyd fit perfectly together and allow to state why.

Many have asked me why I do not really support Collete and Lloyd, well the matter is quite simple actually. Putting all personal bias aside, I played the game and looked at it with my own writers insight (Not saying expert, just still personal opinion) and I noted that the way that Collete and Lloyd seem to interact with each other really borders more on a brother/sister relation. They grew up together and so have that natural comfort and Lloyd nor Collete seems to express a romantic attraction in many cutscenes, sure some may say. "But he saved her at the Tower of Salvation and was distraught when she was lost." well to be honest, with how Lloyd is, he would be lost if Raine or Genis or any of his friends were in the same role as Collete.

Sheena on the other hand has a very obvious and very adorable crush on Lloyd, she implies to him somewhat constantly but the man can put a pile of bricks to shame with how dense he is heh. But overall, Sheena I could see being his perfect match because she also knows when to bring him back down where as Collete is more of the type to fuel his recklessness =. Sheena is sensitive, caring, tomboyish sure but that adds to her charm, and overall just a good-hearted woman who has not really experienced a true love yet...that, in my mind is where Lloyd steps in.

Why not Zelos? Honestly, he is a good man deep down but I see him constantly, albeit, unintentionally annoying and hurting Sheena with how his life is. The excuse that people change? Sure they do, but only so much. I looked at Sheena and Zelos and everytime, no offense to Zelos because he is a favorite of mine, but Sheena deserves better. Zelos overall is a great man...just not the man for Sheena in my own personal opinion.

What about Zelos and Lloyd?
Argh, do not even make me go there...I swear to whatever God(or Goddess) may exist that that combo just flat out irritates me. I have absolutely nothing against same gender pairings...but I do have something against changing a persons sexual preference just because people think it is cute/adorable/forbidden/hot...or all of the above.

Anyways, to my picture. I have been writing a Lloyd/Sheena based Fanfiction, on chapter 40 now. I had no real will to write over the passed few months, well I figured if I hired an artist to do my favorite pairing it would give me that push to continue my writing and give this two the ending the so rightfully deserve.

Did it work?
We shall see...here I go!
