Ranking Choices Stories by Supporting Platonic Characters
It’s time to shine a light on Choices’s platonic characters.
This will be ranked by the importance of the characters to the story and the depth of the platonic characters.
Disclaimer: These rankings do not portray how close the group of friends are: they portray how good the platonic friends are.
I am not counting characters blood-related to MC (as the twin in HSSCA or Atlas in TE) or any of the LIs
I am not doing ILB because I haven't played it yet
Friendship’s Top Tier: 9-10
LH: The whole gang, except Mark, is platonic. They’re extremely close to MC and you get to see each one and their own story. Those are a lot of platonic characters, and each one of them is an important part of the group. Ranking: 10 out of 10.
THM: Most of the crew is platonic, and each character has their own unique personality and unique backstory. They’re all vital for the plot, and are always there for MC. (If you earn their trust.) Ranking: 9.5 out of 10. The only reason this isn’t a 10 out of 10 is that MC isn’t as close to them as LH MC is to the group there.
D&D: Briar and Mr. Chambers are platonic main characters that are key characters in the plot. Briar is always there for MC and Mr. Chambers is the perfect wingman. They both have their own problems and unique personalities, which make them even more amazing. Ranking: 9 out of 10.
Best Friends: 6-8
The Elementalists: Zeph is the only platonic main character. He does have a lot of impact on the story, and takes an important role. Ranking: 8 out of 10.
TF/TS/TJ/TS: From the first book we have Zack, Tyler and Abbie as really close friends. Zack is really close to MC, and is always there for her when she needs help. Abbie is a girl friend who’s there for the story, but she and MC aren’t really close. Ranking: 8 out of 10, because both of them don’t show up that much.
ES: Most of the group isn’t romanceable, but the only platonic one MC is really close to is Diego, and he’s not as close to her as in the beginning. Ranking: 8 out of 10, because there are many friends but they’re not as important to the plot as the LIs.
Hero: Dax and Poppy are MC’s best friends, and are extremely main characters. Both of them have their own strong personalities, and MC spends more time with them than with the LI, if you think about it. Ranking: 8 out of 10.
TCTF: On Dom’s side there aren’t any platonic characters that are key to the plot, but Kenna has Whitlock. Whitlock is really well-built and has a very clear transformation throughout the books. This makes him an amazing character, even if he and Kenna weren’t really close. Ranking: 7 out of 10.
BSC: Almost all the main characters are romanceable, except Brooklynne and Duke. They are fairly main characters, but Brooklynne is the only one MC is close to. Ranking: 7 out of 10 because MC isn’t really close to any of them.
RCD: Chazz is a completely platonic character, and he’s a really important part of the story. He’s just as important as most of the LIs, and maybe even more so. Ranking: 7 out of 10 because he’s important, but not MC’s anchor.
OH: Sienna, Landry and Elijah are MC’s closest friends. They show up a lot, and are obviously important, but aren’t so far an important part of the plot. Also, MC isn’t that close to them. Ranking: 7 out of 10.
ITITW: Lily and Dan are the only characters in the group who aren’t romanceable. Both of them are important characters: especially Dan, who MC does everything they can to save him. Ranking: 7 out of 10, because after MC saves Dan there aren’t many scenes that show how close they are.
HSSCA: Erin is the only friend MC has who is completely platonic in this book. She and MC are obviously close, but not best-friends close. Also, Erin isn’t such a big part of the plot, at least in the first book, so this story gets 6 out of 10.
RoD: Toby, Riya and Darius are MC’s platonic friends. Toby shows up a lot, but he’s not really an important character. Riya is MC’s main connection to her old life, but she’s also not a major part of the story. Ranking: 6 out of 10. 3 platonic friends, but none of them are really close to MC or are important to the plot.
Passable Teamwork: 3-5
MW: Basically the whole crew is platonic, I think. However, they aren’t really important characters. Ranking: 5 out of 10. They exist, but aren’t really there.
HSS- You can romance any of your friends, but you can’t romance your senior friends. You sometimes see them, so this gets a 4 of 10.
TRR: There are a few platonic characters, like Bertrand, Madeline and Olivia, but no close friends that are completely platonic from the start of the series. Ranking: 4 out of 10.
PM: MC if a friend of Steve and Nadia, but Nadia is the person MC is really close to. Problem is Nadia is MC’s cousin, which means Steve is the only platonic friend. MC almost never talks to Steve: it’s always Steve and Nadia, which is why this doesn’t have a high ranking. Ranking: 4 out of 10, just because Steve is always there with Nadia.
VoS- All the “friends” main characters are romanceable. Miss Harlenay is the only friendly character who’s platonic, other than the group. Ranking: 4 out of 10, just because Miss Harlenay shows up a lot.
Failure: 0-2
THoBM: No close platonic relationships. The only unromanceable characters are Eleanor’s siblings, and MC isn’t really close to any of them. Ranking: 2 out of 10.
AME- Need I explain? It’s a reality show in which you can romance anyone. Doesn’t leave any platonic relationships. Ranking: 1 out of 10, only because of Fatima.
BB- All of MC’s friends are LIs. Ranking: 0 out of 10.
ACoR- MC has no allies, or helpers, that aren’t romanceable. So no platonic relationships. This hasn’t failed because of the scholae manager, which I guess can pass somehow as a platonic ally, even if she doesn’t have almost any impact on the story. Ranking: 1 out of 10.
HftH- The characters whom MC is mostly around are her family and lovers. No platonic friendships here. Ranking: 0 out of 10.
ATV- The whole crew is romanceable: whether as MC, Eos or Pax. There are no important platonic characters whatsoever, so this series failed. Ranking: 0 out of 10.
RoE- Again: you can romance basically everyone, as the different siblings. Violet doesn’t count because she’s a cousin, and the lawyer doesn’t count because you barely talk to him. So no platonic relationships here. Ranking: 0 out of 10.
