Topic on Talk:Little Witch Academia (2017 series)/Characters

Should we move this to the franchise page?

If we move this to the generic Little Witch Academia page, we can discuss characters more in depth. I can compare / contrast characters across different instalments, and add tropes related in other instalments. Most characters remain the exact same across the different instalments, bar the occasional Adaptational Personality Adjustment, so the tropes should still be relevant even if we move it.

The disadvantage is that statements like "episode 3" have to be replaced with "episode 3 of the series", which is tedious... or we can just add a generic "text like episode 3 refer specifically to episode 3 of the series".

Are the characters the same across all versions of the story? If they're like Black Butler and have a large number of differences between story versions, then I'd suggest keeping the character pages separate. If they're like Sailor Moon and the similarities outnumber the differences between manga and anime versions, then it's a coin-toss. And if they're like A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun and they're the same characters across all media, then putting them in a shared character sheet makes sense.

90% of character traits remain the same. I've listed most of the differences on the Adaptational Personality Adjustment trope, which features changes with three characters out of nine.

The similarities does outnumber the differences. We're in coin toss territory.

In that case, I'd toss the coin to land on "shares a sheet".

Same. My proposal is to move this to the central franchise page and make a "episode numbers refer to the episodes of the 2017 series" note.
