I love stories that flesh out the side characters. Very in-character; Shelinda always seemed to need a role model, and of course it would be Yuna. One thing you may want to change, though: The people of Spira worshipped Yevon in FFX, not Yu Yevon -- that was just the name of the game's final boss. The average folk in Spira didn't really know about that.
Aside from that, brava for such an interesting little tale!Author's response
Thank you for your insight into the proper names. Final Fantasy X has never been my strong suit so I really appreciate it. -

Never been your strong suit?!
I've been wavering in and out of fandom, but I know full well that you grab and illuminate bits of FFX brilliantly when you apply yourself to it!
This, for example. Shelinda is one of those secondary characters few people ever write, but you grabbed her and extrapolated three dimensions from the 2D sketch the games gave us. The glimpse of Braska and his guardians is perfect, and the backstory you gave Shelinda is plausible without reaching the level of cliché.
I love the way you showed that Shelinda's trying to change, yet her first step is to change hair and clothes, not what's inside. And instead of seeking herself she's still imitating Yuna (as she once imitated Yuna's father).Author's response
I've been pretty much out of fandom lately, but I want to say thank you so much for your kind review. You definitely saw in this story what I meant to show. I feel honoured you offered to review it so long after I've written it. Thank you.
