Talk:Joslin Reyes/@comment-2001:5B0:50C5:AB20:0:FF:FEBD:C44B-20180915074530

Reyes wasn't a good character in the games. All she ever did was whine and blame Lara for everything that happened. Sure, she did fix the boat and helped out a little, I can even understand that it was all under pressure and out of her comfort zone, but she was just annoying.

Even before the island she had a hate for Lara, all because Conrad treated her like a daughter. A daughter that she kept secret from Conrad (the father). Oh sure, she can lecture everyone else but never once considers that maybe (just freaking MAYBE) the father of her child should know of this little detail. And her whole "why is it all about Lara" or "everyone dies except Lara" is just bullcrap! If I remember correctly, it was the 'captain's choice' to go the island. It may have been at Lara's wanting, but it was ultimately a choice made by someone in control of the ship. And as for Lara surviving, Reyes is one to talk, for someone who didn't have to go through what she did.

Sorry for the rant, but I just don't like this character or the way how she is done. I can some development and layers within her character. Like her mislike for Lara is because of her jealousy towards how Conrad treats her like a daughter over his actual daughter, but even then that's because of her stupid decision in not telling him he had a daughter in the first place. Or that her mistrust of others, whether it be in keeping secrets or criticising others for their mistakes are due to past experiences. But aside from that, she's just a one-dimensional character who is just there to anger the players and be an obstacle for Lara that goes nowhere.
