<\/a><\/strong>The more obvious and straightforward option of the two, and also the one with more content. Annah\u2019s fiery, passionate nature and fiendish heritage make for an explosive combination, and the flirting can get very hot, both figuratively and literally. That being said, a kiss is all that ensues, surprisingly enough. Or well\u2026there\u2019s also some biting. And some stat gains, which is another incentive to pick her. Anyway, beneath all the bluster, Annah is rather insecure, not only about her appearance, but because she\u2019s never really known any kindness in her life. With all that, she\u2019s aware that TNO carries a heavy burden and guesses that things are very unlikely to end well, but this paradoxically only strengthens her feelings, and her own pain makes her latch onto him, much as it does with the other characters. This creates a rather moving situation. Keep in mind that \u2018fiery\u2019 also means \u2018jealous\u2019: Annah won\u2019t take kindly to Fall-from-Grace\u2019s presence, even if your TNO shows no active interest in the latter, going so far as to temporarily leave the party at one point. So make sure he\u2019s ready to reassure her if you want to keep her.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/strong>This is the more subtle option of the two, and, frankly, there\u2019s very little in the way of romantic content. TNO can express interest in Grace, but apart from a cryptic comment that “something has changed” between the two of them after a specific scene and a rather heartfelt speech at the end of the game, that’s about as far as it goes. The main problem is that, since Grace is a succubus, any physical contact may become hazardous, and kissing is downright lethal (you may test this out if your TNO has low Wisdom). What\u2019s more, Grace has a distinct lack of interest in matters of the flesh, so the ‘romance’ is more akin to a mutually acknowledged attraction and understanding than anything else. That being said, due to her longevity, she has a better idea of the burden of immortality and the pain of forgetfulness that TNO has to deal with, which adds poignancy to the situation, especially by the time the ending rolls around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
