Lawrence is interesting because at first he seems like a very pompous author self insert who rambles on about various life lessons, but after awhile you realize he's really not that much different from Okabe, constantly burying his real feelings under a carefully constructed persona. I was actually impressed with his characterization by the end. Still think he let the wolf get away with way too many shit tests.
Anonymous No.283047489 [Report]

In the book, Lawrence starts off as way more greedy and lonely. Before he meets Holo, he ruminates on how lonely it is to be a traveling merchants and how he wishes he had someone to talk to. He imagines for a bit what it would be like if his horse could talk and hold a conversation, and they would be traveling buddies and he wouldn't have to be so alone.
And then he realizes that if his horse was smart enough to talk, he would probably have to pay him as well. And he just immediately ditches the whole idea. The mere idea of having to pay his horse as a fellow sapient being immediately ruins the fantasy for him.

If you look at her from surface level you'll only get surface level stuff. Kurisu puts on the facade of a bratty spoiled tsundere at first but as you go through the story you learn she's a lonely loser that's been forced to put on a perfect scientist act to impress her dad with the main cast being the first people she can open up to (Zero contradicts this but ignore that). The dynamic between her and Okabe is fun because Okabe manages to expose the chunni nerd inside her while she manages to expose the vulnerable sad guy inside him.

Isn’t the tragedy of it that her genius perfect scientist act ends up making her father mad with jealousy?
I’ve seen people call her a “Mary sue” which I find stupid because it’s clear her intelligence isn’t unequivocally a good thing for her.
