Dat Rules (borrowed/stolen from Integrity)
- Ratings are assumed to be on Normal.
- Votes need some explanation regarding their gameplay performance to be counted. If somebody has already given good reason for a score +/- half a point from yours, you can decide not to explain your score, but I always encourage personal reasoning. Incredibly low scores or high scores without proper justification will not be counted. Don't put in some random text thinking it'd count as justification. Put in at least a little thought and give REAL reasoning.
+/- ≤1 point extra regarding personality/appearance is encouraged, but no more. If you exercise your bias privileges, please do so explicitly. Also, if your vote is already a 10/10 or greater than 9 and you give a full point of bias, The score may not exceed 10!
- Numerical votes out of 10, or something proportional to it. Make it easy to calculate for my sake.
- Every ranking phase ends from 2100 to 2200 EST. Every ranking phase starts from 2200 EST to 2300 EST. Do the math if you are in another timezone!
- I will insist you do not use the "Not X" reason on any character, where X is another unit. If you do, your vote will be thrown out.
- "Recruits X" or "takes you to X chapter" arguments are explicitly banned. C'mon, people, this shouldn't need to be a rule. That's not gameplay performance.
- Assume that the character in question is being recruited.
- Similar to the "Recruits X" rule, do not use "He Comes with a Free Weapon" as an argument.
- I withhold the privilege to tell you your rating is bogus and demand you revise it if it breaks any of the above. I will not throw out votes anonymously, you will be informed and given a chance to revise.

Has good Mag and pretty good Def growth for a sister. Like Silk, she can use Dear to get you out of random encounters that you don't want. Especially, if your planning to grind in Chapter 3 for the Mummies. Since they're rare at that point in the game! She also has Illusion which can summon Soldiers. Plus having Physic for enemies that cover alot of ground every turn. Her HP is low, so you will want to give her the Holy Ring and that her Speed isn't nothing to write home about either. She also should not use Angel, if ever after she class changes. It weighs her down to no end and that she is vulnerable to almost any foe. Should be a healbot if nothing else.

8.5/10

Obviously makes for a useful support unit because of Physic, even late game when your pegasi are racing full steam ahead! She also holds on her own quite well against thieves and magic users, especially with a lionhead in speed or two, and with her classes' high exp gain she has little problem leveling up. Even so, her combat is still a mixed bag. Resire's accuracy is atrocious, but it makes her durability fantastic against enemies that aren't particularly fast or high in physical power. Her great promo gains in HP make that even more so. Angel does great potshot damage, but using it can be suicidal since she will equip it for enemy phase when she attacks with it, which prevents it from being too useful. Also, her lame speed will force her to avoid enemies like Swordfighters and Gargoyles like the plague, but she can fall back on her selection of support spells to still be useful, which most other magic users cannot.

8/10 for being a staffbot that can hold on her own against a variety of enemies very well.

JENNY! Y U NO LEARN WARP?
6.6/10

*refers back to what he said on Silk*

Ok, Jenny is the only Cleric for Celica's team. This instantly means that she has the monopoly on healing and white magic. She doesn't learn warp but she does learn physic and dear. Not learning warp can be a pain from time to time but physic can really be a lifesaver and dear is the second best white magic in the game IMO (behind fortify). Combat-wise she's even worse than Silk and will rarely actually see any combat, particularly as she's the only Cleric on Celica's side but, like Silk, she's not here for her combat.

8.5/10, Clerics are hilariously indispensable in Gaiden, Jenny does a good job but should probably never see any combat.

[Randoman]

Being a sister alone in Gaiden (and the only one on Cellica's team) already makes her really useful. But add the fact that she learns spells (especially Illusion) a lot earlier than Silk and she has full availability in Cellica's chapters, and you've got a ridiculously good unit. 10/10 including a full bias point.

Also Callum, 6.6/10 seems quite unfair. 7.6 is acceptable, but 6.6 just for being a sister without warp? It's not like Warp is as big of a gamebreaker in Gaiden as it is in other FEs.

And since there's hardly any Jenny fanart (or any Gaiden fan art in general):

[WindMage25]

Only healer in Celica's team. Has not quite great spells like Silk, her illusion spell is weaker and she doesn't learn warp. On the other hand, learning physic is neat.

8/10, as healers in this game are pretty broken anyway.

-0.5 because Silk really is better makes 7.5/10
