I personally pick Nanami, she's the best.
Well Nanami has the most attitude among them, she is quite fiesty.
Nanami, even though she is not Riou's sister, she kinds of convinces me otherwise, I mean she does play the sister role quite well.
I like Nanami's involvement in the plot, the death, the revival, everything.
Lastly Nanami can't only play tough roles, she's also sensitive and quite strong.

Gotta love that pug-nosed shrimp, thatfrog faced tomboy...

Seneca for me on this poll. Seneca was actually one of the better characters of Tactics, and I think she employed the most care out of all of them.

It's Flare for me. Out of the Suikoden's i have played she didn't annoy the hell out of me (Nanami) or was completely uninteresting (Seneca). Lymsleia was a great character but i was disappointed she wasn't one of the SoD's. Flare is and she was one of the best characters in Tactics for battles. She was definitely the best of the archer characters in battles.

Out of the choices Nanami was given the most back plot and exposure. Nanami did annoy the heck out of players at times though, but shes my pick.

Nanami for me. Out of all the choices, Nanami was the most sisterly/brotherly of them all. Her involvement in the plot was the best one out of all the others too. She did annoy some people though.

Nanami was the most sister-like to me. The others aren't really the same save Lymselia and Flare, who Frejadour and Lazlo are seperated from most of the game, respectedly, and Flare never does find out; Cleo is more of a guardian, as is Seneca; Cecile seems to be more of a romantic interest to me, and Seneca kind of a combination mother older sister/guardian.

But the one I picked was Cecile. Simply because a) of the characters listed, Cecile is my favorite, and b) Cecile's the only one who really had no connection to the tenkai in the beginning, but formed quite a strong one by the end. She's completely and utterly determined to protect Thomas, and she'd do anything in her power to do so. And I like that about her.

Pretty much the same reasoning for me.

At the start of the game, Cecile wanted to protect Thomas because he was the master of the castle and it was her job. By the end of the game, she wanted to protect Thomas because he was Thomas. It was sweet.

My vote goes to Nanami. Her characterisation is considered near perfect when it comes to playing the sister. Although I do find her a little bit annoying at times, but it is a realistic portrayal of an older sister. The minus point is that she tends to be selfish when it comes to serious situation. She shouldn't ask Riou to leave the army during Neclord's arc because it's the wrong time to do so.

Honorable mention goes to Cleo. I do find her stats is good. Furthermore, within the story, Leknaat gave her a fire rune, which is a testament to her as a guardian.

Nanami. Her attitude was awesome and it was kind of funny/sad how bad recipes ended up being called Nanami <Whatever>. But it did piss me off when she did nothing during the the combo attack. D=

I like Lymsleia the most. I think she's the best sister in the series. Not only that she fits the whole little sister role, she's actually the only one among all that being the sister matters into the storyline. So that's a big point for me.

Cleo is more like a guardian, and obviously not a real sister. The same goes for Cecile and Seneca. Both are guardians, though I do consider both to be more attached to Thomas and Kyril than Cleo to Tir, they're still not sisters. Also, Cleo barely interacts with Tir as "sister-like" person while Cecile is more like love interest or just best friend of Thomas. While there is a connection between them, it's not quite "sister-like". Seneca is more of a "mother-like" character in my opinion. So she's different.

Flare is obviously out of the picture because she doesn't even know that she's related to Lazlo. Therefore, no communication whatseover, and no connection between the two. Their relationship is very much like Ferid and Bernadette. No connection at all. So Flare is out.

That leaves me with Nanami and Lymsleia. While Sophita raised a good point about Lymsleia being separated to Frey for most of the game, I think that actually serves as even stronger bond as the war is pretty much between the two of them and their relationship with one another is even more important than ever.

What I find lacking in Nanami is that she is so very dominant that we see what she feels about Riou, but we don't really see much from Riou's side on how he feels about her. The interaction in Suikoden II is too one-sided until the moment where Nanami "died" and that doesn't work for me. On the other hand, in Suikoden V, though Frey is separated to Lymsleia in most of the game, the events at the beginning of the game showed how close they really are, and they really are like a family indeed.

Little things like how Miakis tricked Lymsleia into thinking that if Frey won the duel against Shoon would mean that they'd marry one another ended up with Frey explaining the truth to her because he's the big brother that cares about the little sister, and how he let Lymsleia to sleep in the same bed while at Lunas showed that he does love his sister too. It's not one-sided and I get the relationship between them.

So yeah, I pick Lymsleia. ^^

I picked Cecile. She's one of my favorite characters anyway. But if not for her, Thomas wouldn't have had the courage to fight Zexen. She's so cheerful and cute!

But on the topic, she seemed the most sisterly to me. Nanami would come second.
