The difference between Zagreus and Melinoë (and similarities)

Hades 2 It takes everything that has made the predecessor great and provides more to the player. One of them is a great hero because players who like Zagreus fall in love with Melinoë. The two children in Hades are dynamic and well -written three -dimensional characters, and private travel is as important as a bold adventure through the underworld. Their complexity makes them interesting, making it easy for the player to take care of them and see their stories to the end.

At first glance, Hades's faithful daughter and rebellious son may look like the opposite. But they are different in many ways, but they have something in common between them. This not only helps the sequel to the original feeling while maintaining the original feeling, but also feels like a realistic brothers and sisters even if Melinoë and Zagreus never meet.

He is out of his way. She is fighting on her path

Opponent travel through hell

Hades 2 The original game's premise is overturned to your head. While Zagreus is fighting on the way to the surface, Melinoë is going down to Hades' house with tartarus pit and enemy lies. Even her journey to the mountain of Olympus is a similar concept. Her goal is to violate defense and find a way.

Ultimately, ZAG's journey is one of the escape and MEL 's is one of the penetration. He is trapped his life in Hades' house, cut off from being over, and desperate for more. She risked her life with asylum, peeled off her birth, and kicked out of a legitimate house. Both decided to regain what was rejected according to their situation, and their goal was at the end of the underworld.

They both are fighting for their families

Family Jewish is a series theme

Zagreus's goal is to reunite with his mother Persephone and connect with his family in Olympus, far from his father's terrible grasp. Melinoë tries to liberate the family from chronos tyranny. Both are driven by the desire to connect with the family they never know.

In both cases, the end is ultimately the first person to separate them from the family. Of course, their situation is different. Hades maintained Zagreus in Ferphone to prevent war with other gods, and Chronos began a war to separate parents and brothers and Melinoë. But both of them must overcome tremendous obstacles to form a ties of the denied family.

Mandatory vs. rebellion

Their biggest motive is the opposite

All of the children in Hades have a roles that have been assigned since they were born. But Zagreus rejected his obvious rejection, but his sister completely embodies her. His goal is to avoid the narrow range of what is considered as his “birth rights.” Melinoë's goal is to see her.

Zagreus was born in Hades' house, but his father's distance and cold attitude did not feel much responsibility. Melinoë, on the other hand, was trained for her mission from the moment he rescued her from the acquisition of Hades in Chronos. The people around you are accustomed to the unstable nature and attitude of the Zag Reus, and he does not care about their expectations. But in CrossRoads, Melinoë's comerades expect her to deliver a big thing from her.

They both wear their hearts on their sleeves

The same is true for one word

Zagreus loved him in the legion of fans with his praise for Snark, adding his head and rebellious character. He did not run away from several shoe bars to the other, especially the gorgeous and arrogant people. But his tendency to Candor is not just for his enemies, but simple with his friends and loved ones. Zagreus is not cold about his feelings about MEG or DUSA, and he is not afraid to call his friends when he needs friends.

Melinoë may be reserved a little more than his brother, but she speaks freely without hesitation to her friends how much she is interested in her or her friends. She is not ashamed of telling Icarus that she misses herself or telling her exactly what she thinks. Her wrong side is not as obvious as ZAG, but she shows a dry sense of humor. When Scylla wants MEL's opinion on the band's new song, she welcomes her fans' feedback, and Melinoë tells them to ask them instead.

Greatly different parenting

Expectations to contrast

Zagreus grew up on the boundary of Hades' house and grew up with a strict, cold and distant God for his father. The player feels that he is always considered “the son of the boss” who always lives in his father's shadow. His father rejected his role because he never bothered him to train him for his duty. He found NYX (he believed his biological mother for a long time) and Achilles' mentor. But Hades seems to have despised Zagreus's ability from the beginning. He rarely expects from his son, and many others in Hades's house seem to have taken this attitude.

Melinoë, on the other hand, was raised by a group of people who fixed their hopes. From the first day she was trained for HECATE to be completed. She learned Selene, Artemis, Medea, Circe, etc. There are people who doubt her, but most people around them have very high expectations for her.

They both have a hidden soft side

Kindness under the surface

Zagreus is a reckless, rebellious and foolish son of the dead. Melinoë is a reserved and dedicated goal -centered princess. They have a rather difficult appearance in a very different way. But when the player gets to know them, they both reveal some softness below it.

Zagreus creates many new acquaintances in his journey through the underworld, and learns his story, and his first instinct is almost always looking for a way to help them. He tries to keep the contract of keeping the cisipus as a chain, preventing Orpheus and EURYDICE, and calmly maintaining Achilles and Patroclus. It is partially another rebellion against his father. But his actions come from the place of sympathy and the desire to help and self -interested people.

Melinoë also helps and helps her. Her love for her animals appears many times in her story and meeting with Cerberus. She wants to be a safe shelter for someone who needs an intersection, and encourages Icarus and Moros to find a refuge. The children of Hades gets stubbornness and candy from their father, but inherited the kindness and sympathy of Persephone, the core characteristics of Persephone.
