Bring It On Darling

SO THIS IS GONNA SUCK, I’M SORRY

ANYWAY

Basically, I am requesting The Strategist. Yay Strategist! Okay, anyway. The Strategist is nearest to Shi in age, being that he is just under her in years. Which means him and Shi could have bumped into each other multiple times over the course of history. He is incredibly smart and perceptive and one of the few that would know how Ariette (Shi’s noble personality, the one she uses in public) was a spy in the war. Which makes him dangerous to her, not just because of how perceptive he is but how plain smart. He would have been close to Vin during the war, being that he was his main strategist and likely would have seen how often Shi was around and perhaps unlike the others wouldn’t just assume she was sleeping with him but actually useful and doing things.

Basically, Shi considers him her greatest rival just because he would easily be able to figure out that she is the Informant but also she enjoys being around him, he’s smart and that makes him good fun to be around ,a challenge. Her greatest rival but I can also see him being one of her greatest friends as Ariette. And there’s the possibility of them knowing each other on and off a long time, which Shi would enjoy. Though I don’t see them as lovers, which is rare for Shi, but perhaps good friends and always a bit of sexual tension is fun ya know

I think he would be a fun rival for Shi to have around, someone who’s trying to figure out who the Informant is and perhaps knows about more about Shi than she likes cause of their history and that history and trust between them being the only thing that keeps him from figuring it out.

I also think Hugh Dancy would be an amazing FC for him because Hannibal ftw because he looks brilliant.
