VOTE FOR PYRA TOMORROW!
* Pyra, Impossibly Cool, Cute and Sexy
At any point in time I'd inevitably struggle coming up with a Top 5 prettiest female characters list, EXCEPT for the #1 spot, which will always be Pyra. Her design is like catnip to me, it checks ALL my boxes, including the ones that you wouldn’t normally associate with Waifus, like my fondness for “overcomplicated” designs. I consider the idea that “the best designs are the simplest designs” to be utter bullshit, the most marketable and commercially viable maybe, but not the best. When we have fantasy worlds that offer up boundless possibilities, I’m not really interested in settling for some basic princess or longhaired tomboy design (I can understand the appeal of the likes of Peach and Tifa, but for me they’re a bit basic). Enter Pyra.
Pyra’s design literally has everything I’m looking for, so many different beautiful, cool and badass elements that come together beautifully and create a character that stands out wherever she goes. I remember rewatching the Pyra/Mythra Smash Bros. reveal, specifically the scene of Pyra fighting the established Smash characters and thinking “wow, Pyra just looks so much cooler than any other character in this game, goddamn!”. At pretty much any random point in Xenoblade 2 where Pyra is on the screen and somewhat prominent, you can take a screenshot and just marvel at how utterly scene-stealingly gorgeous the girl is.
Pyra’s much-criticized outfit is actually one of her biggest selling-points for me. It makes her look like a mix of warrior princess, magical girl, swordfighter and fanservice Waifu-bait, all which fit her in various ways. Her tiara and fancy earrings (a single one of which is worth 60 000 gold according to Pyra herself) bring to mind royalty, which is fitting, since Pyra as an Aegis is the Master Blade (reflected in the unique, emerald-colored cross-shaped core crystal on her chest, and various glowing parts of her outfit), and stands above every other Blade in Alrest. As a Blade she’s quite the magical creature, able to summon weapons in and out of existence, as well as summon massive fireballs and use various other fiery attacks. Pyra can wield her massive, imposing flame-powered sword with great skill, and is also an incredibly acrobatic fighter. Fittingly, while Pyra’s outfit is blessedly heavy on the fanservice, it is notably fanservice *armor*, so stuff like wrist protectors and shoulder pads are part of her outfit. Another underrated aspect of Pyra’s design is what the Xenoblade Wiki describes as her “reverse drape scarf-like cape”, effectively a cape completely lacking its main (middle) portion, giving Pyra what almost looks like a pair of wings, while at the same time leaving your view of her largely naked back and her booty shorts-clad butt completely unobstructed.
Being able to combine the best of both worlds is a hallmark of Pyra’s design. For example, her outfit perfectly reflects Xenoblade’s own special blend of sci fi and fantasy, being too futuristic for a pure fantasy setting, but too fantastical for a hard sci fi setting. Her colors are strong and bold, primarily a mix of red, pink, green and black, with some gold as well, in addition to Pyra’s own White skin. The elaborately designed outfit almost completely covers her frontal upper body and her legs, drawing a sharp and all-the-more titillating contrast with the areas of her body that ARE left largely uncovered, with plenty of naked flesh on display.
The bared spots on Pyra’s body are strategically chosen, taking her already perfect body (almost impossibly slim and curvy simultaneously) and further accentuating its charms. Pyra is famous for her boobs, which are perfect in both shape and size. Any bigger, and it’d be too much, like a delicious meal that you overindulged on, but Pyra’s boobs are only as big as the maximum you can get away with on a body as slim as hers, no bigger. However, note that Pyra’s outfit doesn’t really emphasize her breasts, she does have a boob window of sorts, but the actual tits are fully covered by tight-fitting dark cloth, which is still hot, but doesn’t draw nearly as much attention to itself compared to the areas of her outfit that generously show off bare skin. Meanwhile, Pyra’s butt, which while firm and shapely would normally be completely overshadowed by her chest, is aggressively emphasized, due to Pyra’s tight, tiny booty shorts really making her tushy stand out.
This is in my opinion is a better way of “balancing” Pyra’s body than by simply giving her big boobs AND a fat ass, which doesn’t really work with the overall slimness of her body, IMO you can only get away with one or the other. Note that the people designing Nier Automata’s 2B had the same idea – while 2B has a deliciously big and juicy ass, her bust is very modest. However, 2B’s outfits also neglect her boobs while lovingly showing off her ass, making Pyra’s design more balanced overall from a fanservice perspective. The same goes for how regardless of whether you look at Pyra from the front or from the back, there’s a lot to enjoy (lovely face + perfect boobs or backless outfit and booty shorts, pick your pleasure).
Oh yeah, Pyra’s face is perfect too of course. While I usually favor green eyes, Pyra’s striking red eyes suit her fine and stays faithful to her ongoing Fire-theme. And given her complicated outfit, a simple, yet cute and feminine bob cut works really well to ground her overall design a bit. Of course, redheads are Perfection, so no complaints there. And despite her outfit, Pyra’s face is all about being cute rather than sexy, with big, expressive eyes and no lipstick, which I love. Indeed, some people (or as I call them, retarded niggers) even accuse Pyra of being “child-coded” due to her youthful appearance, innocence and purity, ignoring the fact that these are all feminine ideals. To be fair, Pyra being so fresh-faced and wholesome has enabled her to start a relationship with a 15 year old boy while avoiding the kind of Groomer jokes that the likes of Misato and Makima have been hit with, but really, Pyra’s ambiguous age is just part of the genius of her character; simultaneously ancient and inexperienced, all-knowing and naïve, a mother figure and a traumatized girl in need of your protection, Pyra comes across as an ideal Waifu for literally any straight man with a sex drive, regardless of age. That 4chan meme about a boy and his grandson bonding over Pyra being Pure Sex (while the boy’s jealous mother finds her design sexist) has a lot of truth to it.
