OH WOW WHAT A SURPRISE!

Hi guys :) Cruel Owen Quarrel here with a largely unoriginal but still hopefully thought-provoking question:

What are your Starter, Kraken Skulls, and Presidio companion rankings?

To answer the question, I came up with five different categories for each different companion:

Best Personality
Best Appearance
Best Crit Animations
Best in Battle
Best Promotion Quest

My personal rankings are these:

Starter

Best Personality: Wing Chun
Best Appearance: Kobe Yojimbo (As Samoorai Lord)
Best Crit Animations: Egg Shen
Best in Battle: Kan Po
Best Promotion Quest: Subodai (From Horse Warrior to Horse Khan)

Presidio

Best Personality: Dead Mike
Best Appearance: Birgus Latro (Crab Soldier)
Best Crit Animations: Gaspar De Vole
Best in Battle: Lucky Jack Russel
Best Promotion Quest: Milo Graytail

The Kraken Skulls

Best Personality: Louis LeBisque
Best Appearance: Mormo (All the time cuz he's so darn cute)
Best Crit Animations: Emmett
Best in Battle: Barnabus
Best Promotion Quest: Sarah Steele

Or, y'know, you could just ignore this and straight up tell me your 3 favorite of all these groups.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic week!

You like Wing Chun's personality? You must be the only one I know who has said this. The Toymaker has human hands, please review Bishop's puppet show.
Starter Companions:
Best Personality - Bonnie Anne ( she's our first universal companion, that's why I'm including her )
Best Appearance - Subodai
Best Crit Animations - Kan Po
Best Promotion - It's a tie! Kobe Yojimbo ( second tier, I especially loved it when he refuses Manchu's offer of employment. :)
Subodai ( second tier "I'd sooner stand in a pit of snakes!" )
Presidio:
Best Personality - Lucky Jack Russell
Best Appearance - Lucky Jack Russell
Best Crit Animations - Gaspard de Vole
Best Promotion - Dead Mike ( first & second tier )
The Kraken Skulls:
Best Personality - Mormo
Best Appearance - Barnabus ( when I first saw him, I exclaimed "Chewbaca!" )
Best Crit Animations - Barnabus
Best Promotion - Sarah Steele ( The Black Pearl )

I find his personality endearing, because he's a mix between a big brother and a kung fu master. I'm used to having a big brother so he doesn't bother me one bit. He's just so funny :)
I completely forgot about him in the Bishop puppet show, oops! And Marleybone is my favorite puppet show! BRAIN, WHYYYYYY-
Bonnie Anne is pretty funny but also kind and strong-willed. Everytime she and Ratbeard interact at all I can't help but laugh because they're so un-alike. My favorite part of Kobe's second promotion was when he comes across his old home and finds the goat servant. I never heard Kobe use such an endearing tone of voice and it was pretty sweet.
As much as I think Gaspard's mega hit is crazy amazing, his Super hit is hilarious because he suddenly turns into Sonic :p
When Mike explodes out of the salt barrel I was surprised and also thought it was too funny!
I think everything about Barnabus is just adorable, and being a sloth just adds to it :)
Thank you for sharing :)

The only things Sarah has that Lucy doesn't is Walk in Shadows & Shadowdance. I agree Lucy is absolutely amazing, there is nothing second rate about her!
