No mention of Eva Cashien? Admittedly the only good thing to come out of that quest.
It's amazing to me how people can actually gravitate towards stock characters and plot devices. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

Actually I was going for someone a little more abstract. I could have said Petra Fiyed, but it would've not made too much of a difference.

There's nothing wrong with stock characters, it just really depends on how they're written and used. If they can be fleshed out, and grow then all the better. Arguably plot devices have their own draw; it's a matter of preference really.
Ebb with the flow, wherever you go.

It was mostly a joke; nobody had pulled the "your waifu is ****" card yet, so I went for it.

In all seriousness, there's nothing "wrong" with stock characters being used. It's just in this context that they're pretty bad. A stock or a device will always be flat (hah) and uninteresting compared to an actual, three-dimensional character with an arc. Unless you fill in the gaps in your headcanon, you're gonna be shipping yourself with a cardboard cutout. Pretty ******' weak, if you ask me.
