It's been a while since I've trolled you, my friend.

I'm a Katja man, and I because of that, I'm burning in hell. It's worth it. :lol:

But I did give my word as a man and gentleman to play Lena first. Because I swore it to Kosherbacon for his being awesome and funny.

Annaliese is still rightfully in the lead. That is how it should be and how it always should be.

Wouldn't it be better to have the waifu which other people pick the least? Ravenous has to share with 19 other people, wow!

Not quite, though the exact opposite of that was a pretty big deal in his religion until they were forced to abandon the practice by the hypocritical pussies in the US government.

This poll is inherently positive, whereas your poll was inherently negative.

Because, well "Like the least" when do you use that in a positive context?

We all lack informations of respective characters. We all have - nonetheless - formed presumptions about the characters.
And with a high probability our opinions will prove false. Despite that, they are valuable to the devs. They can use them
to play with the expectations of the player and do construct and deconstruct tropes. I don't say tropes are bad.
They are tropes because they work efficiently and on a regular basis. But it can be even more satisfying to surprise the player.
So this are my presumptions so far:

My favorite choice is Lena.
She seems like a tough, independend, straight-forward girl and also hard to be friends with.
That challenge increases the value of the reward. It is more fun to crack her open and look what she is made of.
Is she deep down insecure and sensitive? Maybe she is even more wild
and tries to cover it up by mimicking the behavior of the other students.
There are some tropes I love and fear at the same time:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... kassFacade
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... eartOfGold

My second choice would be Annaliese.
She is on the other side of the scale. She seems very shy but also independent.
That too is challenging and promises a most satisfying route.
Also, at first glance, moe. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe
http://www.japanator.com/the-four-laws- ... 4072.phtml

My third choice are the Holm Twins, Natasha and Natalya.
On first glance they seem to be the classic trope twins..
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwinCest
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... omeFantasy
But there is so much more that can be done with two persons that share the same background,
heritage and past. The more they look similar, the more the differences stand out.
It also offers a lot of potential for conflict and moral dilemmas.

My fourth choice is Jeanne.
Being the french girl with the glasses and the biggest .. intellect of the cast,
people will probably see her as the classic lovable dork. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable

Katja and Isolda are my least favorite choices (I still like them very much)
but Katja seem to be like a very permissive spotlight person and Isolda is the kind
and friendly, slightly shy, good girl. She does not spark my imagination like the others.
I can't wait for the first glance at act 1 or any beta that will be released.
I will probably rewrite everything I just said and I am really looking forward to it.

EDIT.:
I must say, I really like all of them. I also like Renée Baum, but I guess this is not for discussion.

And there I was, just beginning to like you. You are saved to me but for the grace of at least bothering to so thoroughly elaborate upon your choices. I do admire that approach.

You did a good job showing the appeal of each of the girls, ProNice, but I don't think you gave Katja and Isolda their due.
Katja's appeal is explained in the blog post about building a better broken bird. Her initial attraction (as I see it) is essentially to be white knight fodder, though this may or may not appeal to you. How this role will be handled through the story is entirely up to the writers. Plus, she's the token redhead.

As for Isolda, her bio shares a lot with Jeanne, but I get a more 'competitive student' vibe from her;someone who drinks her coffee to stay up late working on assignments. She seems like the girl who is always pushing herself to do something, maybe even described as a workaholic, while Jeanne can relax with video games now and then. For looks, I find Isolda to be the most physically attractive of all the girls, but I have a thing for longer, kinda-curly hair.

Not exactly...

Katja may have the strawberry blonde thing going on, but there's also a true redhead-master-race girl in the cast.

I agree in every term. I did not go into rich detail with Katja and Isolda (mainly, because their
attributes did not appeal to me and did not spark my imagination as much as the others did).

Each of the girls will be some kind of broken bird. All of them will be delicate to approach so I did not consider it while choosing my top 5.
Actually, I wish her to be more than just a reserved redhead with an injured eye and a great singing voice. I am very excited to see how
the girls are handled in the actual novel. I want to know more about Katja and I am quite sure my Favorite girl list will change a lot.

Isolda is the quiet and ambitious girl. I tried but I can't really figure her out. Which makes me even more excited to take a look at her in the final novel.
I find Natasha Holm to be the most physically attractive of the cast, shortly followed by Lena (I wish I could see her without the mask).
