Well everyone will have a different opinion about it lol...the Elora character in general I really just didn't see much going for...yeah she was interesting and everything...but I didn't get the feel for the character herself...hence why I have never held that much interest in her...but if they decided to bring her back they would have the chance to do so...but I think Cynder will always be a step above seeing as how she is the same species after all lol...like I said everyone will have something different to say about it..

I can't agree with Cynder being the most interesting female in the Spyro games. Elora has her beat there. Cynder's just another dragon, but Elora is a faun! A faun who is an incredibly capable leader, is interested in science, and has the hots for quadrupeds. How is that not awesome? By comparison, Cynder is a bit generic. She's less generic than most of the characters in LoS, but she's not exceptionally original either.

I do know what a Mary Sue is...and I do not agree with Cynder's supposed fit into that definition....for as far as I can see and tell...she was a very strong female character that played a very important part in the story...and she is by far the most interesting female character ever introduced in anything Spyro related....and as for Elora being in the new games...I still can't see that happening...but you never know it is certainly possible..

I'm not sure you guys understand the correct definition of Mary Sue.

"Mary Sue, sometimes shortened simply to Sue, is a pejorative term used to describe a fictional character who plays a major role in the plot and is particularly characterized by overly idealized and hackneyed mannerisms, lacking noteworthy flaws, and primarily functioning as wish-fulfillment fantasies for their authors and/or readers."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue

I don't really see how Cynder fits this definition, unless Mike Graham and Chris Wilson are rather odd individuals. Cynder falls into a number of epic story archetypes, yes, and many of her fans have made her out to be a Sue, but in general, she is not one.

Ember, however... That's a Sue if ever I saw one.

And BOT. Elora would fit nicely into LoS and should be put in.

Well they should have included more then one female dragon character in each storyline...at least it would have spread out some of this rediculous romance issues and such...and they would have focused on several other developing characters rather then just one single one..especially if everyone already knows how things will turn out between them..

Ember and Cynder are both Mary Sues. Cynder is a typical Mary Sue, but Ember is what I'd call an obsessive, borderline-stalker-ish Mary Sue.

if cynder is a typical mary sue i don;t want to know what ember is. 0_O

Elora is perfected (now i sound like cell)

Well I def agree that they should add more younger characters into the series...because yes dealing with the same characters over and over again does tend to get pretty boring...and it would be a good way to avoid issues that have already been presented in such that Spyro's character is pretty shallow and Cynder's is just your typical mary sue...but yeah involving more will spice things up a bit for sure...I really hope they consider such an option in the next game.

I agree; I think that would have been cool to have more young dragons. Ember, Flame, and Cynder have rather boring personalities, but I'd like to see them back with better ones.

Re: Elora in DotD, or future Spyro games

dummy@example.com (Jackson117) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 07:07:52 +0000

They should bring her back and maybe make Flame a good character

Not to mention change ember and cynder's personality

Is there going to be future Spyro games? I mean, you won't really know until the Legend series is over.
But about the idea, I like it. Elora was a cool character, and it would be good to see her again in the future.

Legend of spyro is a trilogy, and once its over im 97% sure more spyro games will be made.

she would be handy to both cynder and spyro as she has a bit more sense than other characters as well as this it would b nice to c more old characters coming bak and it was funny when spyro called her a goat in spyro 2 lol

I sort of hope that she's the queen of Avalar. That would be awesome and the role would fit her.

This was attempt one of LoS Elora (I want to try again since this design seems a bit bland to me).
