Analysis

Slight power edge
YPS-3
Raphtalia has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. Raphtalia's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around constant growth arc / moral cost they'll pay. Shion's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
