Swords and Ancestry

--- Quote from: Kindler on April 05, 2018, 02:05:25 PM ---He's a good man, and he's willing to fight, but for me, the benchmark of a Knight is what we've seen from Shiro and Michael. Daniel lacks... serenity? I suppose that's the word. Shiro, Michael, and to an extent, Sanya, have all shown an aversion to fighting. It's not their first solution. Daniel seems like he would be reaching for his Sword at every opportunity. I just don't think he has it in him to be a good Knight.

Im not willing to go that far, if only because we've never actually seen the Before&After for a Knight other than Butters (Who also needed to Grow as a person first but was coming from a very different direction).
But we DO know that young Sanya was an angry, bitter, and most probably violent person when he was Daniel's age; it was the whole reason he fell in with Rosanna. I would say that Sanya went MUCH further down the dark side of that particular path than Daniel has, and he was able to Mature enough to be a proper Knight. Probably worth noting that even in DM Sanya was noticeably more hot-headed than the other two. Daniel is not ready to be a Knight right now by any stretch, but Id say we saw signs of his maturing even just over the course of GS (which is the only window we've had to him, and EVERYBODY was off their game in that book, but mired in a street-level supernatural War.

Fair point.
I still don't want it to be Daniel. Way too linear.

Which, frankly, is why I dont really want it to fall to any of the Carpenters, Id rather they not stagnate in dyansties. But then, (click to show/hide)I liked that Rey isnt a Skywalker for much the same reason
