"who becomes braver in later Chapters"?

Wiki Discussion

What is the deal with the opening blurb on Kris's page?: "They are the quiet first hero of the prophecy who becomes braver in later Chapters." I feel really befuddled because this doesn't describe Kris in the slightest. Even if this is meant to be a "wink wink nudge nudge" type of surface-level description to avoid spoilers, it really is just blatantly false info. There's never anything in the game about Kris about being brave or becoming braver (I literally checked every mention of the word "brave/bravery/bravely" in the game: the closest Kris gets is Ralsei saying "you were so brave... and yet..." after the Knight fight, and even that I think is referring to Kris and Susie collectively). Literally why is this on their page, let alone as the second sentence? This really needs taken out and totally replaced with something else.

ETA: Looking through the edit logs, I can see this has been previously justified by wanting Kris's blurb to match Susie and Ralsei's. I get that, but this is still just making up a character arc that Kris does not have. The example given when this was last added back to the page was, and I quote, "It's very gradual, from being being reacting [sic] to the ?????? Eye Puzzle to going independently to finish Spamton's deal." This is not even grammatically correct, let alone defensible as a summary of their arc.

If keeping the "They are the x nth hero of the prophecy who becomes y in later Chapters" format is necessary, might I suggest something like "They are the quiet and mysterious first hero of the prophecy, whose feelings and motivations start to be explored in later Chapters."

I always wondered why

was so outdated, and yeah, not a great summary

Yeah, I think that part should go. It is vague, and Kris's character arc is explored in the main body already.

Worth noting that Kris does have a small association with bravery/courage thanks to the ACT during the King fight, but it's definitely nowhere near enough to be considered their defining trait or part of a broader character arc (if anything, I'd say Kris becomes more hesitant and cagey in the later chapters instead of bolder.) With that in mind, I think the change suggested is a fine way to rephrase and give a more accurate but still intentionally simple summary of Kris' character progression.

I'll say my piece. I feel like the fact we see Kris painted as a dishonest liar more as the game goes on makes this statement inaccurate at best, and blatantly false at worst. I'm not here to start a morality discussion, but objectively speaking, Kris is shown hiding crucial information from the Player as well as their family and friends. They also avoid taking actions that would make everything infinitely easier for the party, and regardless of why, I think this sentence is ultimately a poor way to describe Kris's character. At best, this may have been justified before Chapter 3's release, but it's certainly not anymore.
If I had to make a suggestion, I'd say "who displays more independence in later Chapters," or axing the sentence entirely.
