Yes, precisely. Even if the path they take isn't one that is necessarily positive, and even if it ends badly in the end... it's always intriguing.
[their notes are no doubt different—though it's probably a bit hard to tell, since Olivine's native script is very... not recognisable to anyone who uses normal human-esque scripts.
at least the "ends badly" part probably isn't relating to him, given his personality and warmth. probably.]
Mm, it does seem like it could be a protagonist, yes... but I think it's possible to view a side-character the same way, as well. Overall, there isn't much difference between the two, other than the story's focus. So perhaps a story where there isn't focus on any specific character, and instead on the world they live in, with moments of focus?
