Daniel vs Mandus

[Kreekakon]

This question...especially since it deals with these two particular people can really put people in a pickle to exactly what you're using to judge as "liking them better."

Simply put you might like one better as a "person", but not as much as a fictional "character".

Let me explain using Daniel, and Mandus as examples. I believe that Mandus ends up a better person being of the responsibility, and heroism he decides to undertake to try, and set things right. Daniel might fall short on this end ultimately.

However I think it is undeniable that Daniel was more fleshed out as a character. Through all the notes, diaries, and such such in TDD you find you can find out a lot about the more personal aspects of Daniel. In AMFP Mandus's things seem to be more limited to his overall desires, and ambitions. It IS fleshed out don't get me wrong, but Daniel's I feel was executed in a way that made it feel a lot more personal so that you could deeply know how Daniel himself felt as opposed to Mandus who you get to know on a more general scale.

So long story short: Oswald as a person, Daniel as a character.
