A Letter For You
SUMMARY: Azul writes a letter to you. WORD COUNT: 500+
WARNINGS: Book 3 spoilers (just adding this in case), Azul hating his old self/being fatphobic, Azul overthinking, basically if you know Azul's backstory it talks about that A/N: Okay so I wrote this in three different languages, I did this one last, and since it's translated from the original (which I wrote in Japanese, the language I'm struggling in most with writing (somehow even though it's my mother language wtf)) it looks so formal and blocky and Idk- I'm proud of myself for writing it in three languages but when I say I hate translating- (My summaries gradually starting to suck more and more-) Also yes of course I wrote about Azul he's my favorite <3 English (this one!) - Japanese - Spanish

Dear kantokusei-san,
I always had a lot of struggles.
Every day, voices in my head would tell me that I was ugly. That I was just a dumb, hideous octopus.
I can't do anything.
"I want to smile always." "I want to live happily with Floyd and Jade."
But voices are always running around in my head, making me overthink.
Are you really my friend?
Even if you saw me as a kid, would you still be able to say that I'm different from him?
You wouldn't be able to, would you.
Because no matter how you look at it, I'm just a stupid mer that wants to be human.
I'm a horrible person who can't even accept himself.
"I can't be a human."
This is the truth. No one can change it.
I thought that I had accepted these words, and yet… I couldn't.
"I don't want to be a mer again."
"I want to stay as a human forever."
"I don't want to return to being that fat, ugly octopus that I was before."
And I also wanted legs. Human legs - /real/ human legs. Legs that I could have without drinking a potion or creating a contract. Legs that I could walk, run, play and dance with. Legs that I could do anything with.
Why? Why was I born as a mer, and an octopus mer at that?
I had been living like that my whole life.
Until you arrived, that is. That was when everything changed.
The first time I met you, I wasn't sure what to make of you.
"A different world? That can't possibly be true. Are you joking around?"
That was what I thought, and I was wary of you.
However… Even after the Overblot incident, you were nice to me for a reason I couldn't explain.
How could you be so nice to a person like me? I almost killed you, didn't I? Are you insane?
I told you this thousands of times. yet you still spent time with me.
Floyd and Jade teased me a lot for it, but you always defended me against them. Do you remember doing that?
That honestly made me really happy.
"You aren't such a bad person."
And before I knew it… I was in love with you.
I was surprised at first, you know? That I could feel this way.
What made me even more surprised was the time when you told me that you felt the same way.
If you say things like that, it'll only make me fall for you more, since I'm not used to words like that.
You are such an important person to me. I wouldn't want to live in a world that you're not in.
So… Would you like to stay in this world, with me?
I know that you most likely have ambitions, a family, a good life in your previous world. But if you could leave all of that behind to stay with me… I would be overjoyed.
I'll understand if you don't want to stay here; it's not your world, after all. However, I still wanted to ask this of you. Maybe I'm too greedy, asking you for this.
Either choice you make, I'll love you, forever and always.
With love, Azul Ashengrotto

Azul Fact Sheet
Tumblr media
(Voted 5th-most-popular-character on the jpn server in a combination of seven different character-ranking surveys held throughout 2021)
Azul not only excels academically, but simultaneously runs a cafe, "Mostro Lounge”, out of the Octavinelle dorm. In addition to managing the food, drinks, atmosphere and employees of the cafe, he also runs a side-business providing advice and services to troubled NRC students, for a fee.
He has been friends with Jade and Floyd since they were young children. He and the twins are all from the Coral Sea, but the northern part where the waters are cold enough for ice bergs.
We learn from Jade that Azul’s mother owns a restaurant, originally a small location owned and operated by her alone that has since grown into the most famous restaurant in the Coral Sea. It is assumed that Azul’s culinary skills and his talents as a manager were inherited from his mother, who is well-loved by her employees.
Translation: "The part in the opening ceremony where he is proudly saying ‘I will take the role of the bad guy!’"
When working out a divorce settlement Azul’s mother met his future stepfather, an attorney, who would go on to teach Azul about contracts and the law. Despite a lack of blood-relation, Azul has inherited his stepfather's shrewdness. Azul has said outright that he respects his stepfather, a kind man who is very dedicated to both his work and to Azul’s mother. Azul says he is proud of his entire family, which is full of kind, clever and witty people.
Azul is an only child, but his extended family are all mages of various talents, and his grandmother is said to be one of the greatest mages in the world while also being so benevolent and kind that she is always helping her neighbors with their problems.
Tumblr media
Azul was bullied cruelly as a child for being an octopus (which is rare even among mermaids), and teased for being “slow” and “boring”. He threw himself into his studies in elementary school to escape it.
In Book 4 we learn that although Azul, Floyd and Jade had been in the same class their whole lives until enrolling in Night Raven College, Floyd does not have many childhood memories of what Azul was like, as he was so quiet and kept so much to himself. Upon entering middle school the three formed a trio with Azul playing the piano, Floyd on the drums and Jade on the bass.
It was around this time that Azul gradually began to look beyond his books for opportunities to practice his magic, while still keeping diligently to his studies. This resulted in several incidents such as a student suddenly becoming physically fit but losing their voice, and another student suddenly having beautiful hair but losing one of their tail fins.
Azul is wary of apparent gestures of goodwill and unconditional kindness from others, believing that “all contracts come with a price”, and he strongly dislikes the idea of ever being indebted to someone.
Tumblr media
His unique magic, “It’s a Deal” (in Japanese: The Golden Contract), enables him to take the talents of others for himself. Two of his talents as seen in the main story of the game—his singing voice and ability to talk to animals—were both obtained through this magic.
It is discovered in Book 3 that his powers are actually too strong for him to control: his unique magic allows him to absorb power from others indiscriminately, which Leona says is designated as a forbidden class of magic.
Azul does not need his contracts to enable his unique magic: he needs them to limit it. Without the self-enforced rules of his contracts, Azul’s magic would be impossible to reign in and result in constant over-blotting.
Azul is very calculating, logical and defensive. He will ask for payment for absolutely anything he does, including help with test preparations (a popular service among NRC students).
Azul is always on alert for information—particularly on the weaknesses of those around him—for use in contract negotiations. While his business may appear corrupt from the outside, Azul has an extremely high success rate in fulfilling his customers’ requests, resulting in constant demand for his services.
Tumblr media
Azul is very smooth-spoken and polite when he speaks, but his formal form of speech wavers and can disappear entirely when he is taken by surprise. While appearing outwardly calm and collected, Azul is in fact very passionate and emotional.
We learn that Azul was overweight as a child (“he looked like a good meal" according to Floyd, and "twice as wide as the other mermaid children—at least” according to Ruggie, who saw a photo), which may be why Azul is always counting calories. He has expressed displeasure in the lack of calorie labels on food in the school cafeteria.
Azul is actually something of a gourmet who can identify the ingredients of food products (like juice) merely by tasting them, making it curious that his favorite food is Japanese-style fried chicken (kara-age).
Tumblr media
Azul does not like crowds, saying that he feels most at ease in dark, small spaces, which is why he is often seen with his hood up when he wears his ceremonial robes.
Rook refers to Azul as both “Roi de Fort” and “Roi de l’Effort” on ENG-server. I asked a French speaker who assured me that “Roi de Fort” is incorrect grammar (it would be “Roi du fort”). Putting overwhelming amounts of effort into everything he does being one of Azul’s main character traits, I would assume that “de Fort” was a continuity error and “de l’effort” is the correct translation. (The original katakana of ロア・ディ・フォート would be “Roi d’effort, which is also grammatically incorrect ww)
Tumblr media
While flying is his worst subject, Azul claims he does not dislike it. He is decidedly not athletic, but still performs light muscle training exercises daily despite how he does not like to sweat.
It seems that Azul is larger than both Jade and Floyd in their mermaid forms and actually quite strong in his original form of an octopus (Floyd says that octopi are "pure muscle" and he doesn't believe that all of that disappeared just because Azul drank a potion to turn himself human).
The extent of his abilities in his human form is unknown, but according to Floyd, “He’s slow on land and in water, and he’s got lousy athletic reflexes, but that doesn’t mean he’s weak. Octopi are all muscle. Seems to me like that wouldn’t disappear just because he took a potion to turn himself human.”
Tumblr media
Azul enjoys collecting coins, which seems to be a hobby he has had for a long time. He first became interested after coming across a rare coin near a shipwreck and learning how much he could sell it for.
He now has a collection of about 200 coins, and his favorites are framed and on display in his room.
Azul has multiple hobbies and serves on multiple school committees, as he believes that there is no better way to find new avenues that may lead to new business ventures than to experience things directly.
Azul and Idia are the only two members of the main cast in the Board Games club. Idia prefers games that involve an element of luck, while Azul prefers games that require strategy, and he first joined after Ortho introduced him to a board game that mimicked business strategies.
Azul’s labwear goggles have the same prescription as his glasses, but he does not wear either in his mermaid form. He says that he began wearing them at the school both for vision-correction purposes and for the look, as he read that—according to on-land culture—glasses make one appear intellectual.
The mole near Azul’s mouth is on the opposite side of his face to that of Ursula, the villain upon which he is based.
Azul gets along well with Ruggie, who shares his appreciation of money, of the effort needed to get it, and of not being in debt. In Book 2 he provides Ruggie with a magic-amplifying potion for the Spell Drive tournament, despite he himself being on the event committee.  Azul also seems close with the twins, who invade his room at midnight on his birthday with cake and congratulations.
Tumblr media
We learn from Leona that “transfiguration potions are forbidden” at Night Raven College, but it would seem that merpeople chosen by the mirror receive special allowances to grant them a human form in which they can comfortably attend their classes.
We learn from Floyd that living on land is a dream for many merpeople, but it is rare for anyone to follow through. They attend “land boot camps”, a month-long course where they are taught the basics of on-land living such as information about land-food, what fire is, the importance of wearing clothes, how to breathe and how to walk.
Floyd explains that the school was founded by a mermaid princess who married an on-land price and wanted to help keep other merpeople from suffering the same culture shock that she did.
Much like Disney’s The Little Mermaid, in Book 3 the MC, Grim and Jack have three days to fulfill a contract that they arrange with Azul, and Azul even provides them with a magic potion that allows them to breathe underwater in order to do so (a gift that mirrors that of Ursula’s gift of legs to Ariel).
Also in line with the movie, Jade and Floyd interfere. It is revealed that Azul’s end-game from the beginning was to transform Ramshackle Dorm into a new branch of Mostro Lounge to accommodate the growing business.
Tumblr media
After a certain incident in Book 4, Azul refers to the player and Grim as “slightly dirty rags” (小汚い雑巾). On the same day that the chapter containing the line was released, the phrase was trending on Twitter, and then became the tag used for various Azul-related fan content.
This phrase was translated as “dusty cloths” on ENG-server while the original “dirty rags” line has been attributed—twice—to Floyd, despite how Floyd has never once said it in any of his original dialogue. (a small point, but JPN-server really did lose its mind at that part in Book 4, so it sticks out to me ww Copy-paste it into Google if you want to be buried in Azul fan-art)

Yeah so, replaying Fates, nothing changed EXCEPT... I got a new fav character...
Until now my fav for Fates were limited to 3 considering that most if the Fates cast did not awaken my interest : Leo (who will forever remain my favorite royals because character wise), Corrin (I tend to be a lot more nicer and tolerent to character who have a terrible writing if they are actually enjoyable to some extent) and Kanna (do I really need to explain why ?). 
But, now if you ask me who my favorite character is .... the answer is Laslow...
I MEAN.... he has a good writing, most of his support conversation are absolute masterpiece (kof, kof with Azura, kof), he is one of the few character who has an impressive inferior amount of bad support in Fates, and that’s one improvement compared to Awakening where his only relevant support where the one he had with his parents, the very end of his support with Lucina when they are not siblings (support that shoud’ve been used when he was her brother in my opinion) and the only support that have some romantic build up where the ones with Severa that I don’t like at all and are inferior to the Selena/Laslow support, to the point that the only conversation he has with a woman character that I consider to be written correctly is the one with F! Robin.... HE SURE CAME A LONG WAY OK ?!!! That really made me ask question, did the Fates staff was more focused on giving my boi the proper writing to make him the 3 dimensional character he was not in Awakening since he was more of 2 dimensional ?! HE IS WELL WRITTEN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! MAYBE THE CHARACTER THAT HAS THE BEST WRITING WITHOUT EVEN EXAGERATING!! (at least, from the side cast )!! 
I always really love the Time Travel Trio, but clearly he beats them here! The worst part is that I ALWAYS have enjoined his character. He was husbando material in both Awakening and Fates, easily top 3 (with Owain). SERIOUSLY INIGO I WAS ALREADY A SIMP FOR YOU HOW DID YOU EVEN MANAGE TO GROW ON ME THIS MUCH?!!
