HUBERT ➼ Little Bro going solo. A blueberry cinnamon roll with surprisingly more spice than his soff appearance and sweet personality might suggest. Is a good boy who FUCKIN' BROUGHT CHERIA TO LHANT HILL LIKE HE PROMISED UNLIKE SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOESN'T EXIST IN THIS 'VERSE. He tried his best to make a dope dualblade for himself, but he didn't have enough resources to pull it off so he ended up with Wilt and Blush as a consolation prize. Which, tbh, is still pretty impressive. (Also impressive: the debt he incurred along the way for it. Don't worry, paying it off is a sidequest.)

RICHARD ➼ Possibly even more yandere in this 'verse. (That whip of his must be bringing out his dominant side.) Is way too entertained by Hubert's squishiness (but who wouldn't be, really). Becoming the Mask of Barona doesn't save him from getting swordinated at Wallbridge, but at least he actually tried to disguise himself.

CHERIA ➼ Hubert's #1 fan, not that she would ever admit it (true to form). DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO THE FUTURE LORD OF LHANT THAT WAY!!! Still ends up helping out with a relief organization, but that comes after her first job as the queen of the Lhant resistance.

RAYMOND ➼ Reppin' for Strahta since Hubert is staying firmly in Lhant. Gets major points for defeating a swordwielding, gunslinging, spellcasting Hubert with a magic-less rapier. Gets no chance at all with Cheria for obvious reasons. Gets better about the whole "being a stupid, self-serving asshole" thing, somewhat. Gets a nonzero chance of being Sophie's single dad in the future.

MARIAN ➼ Raymond's aide. A cheerful and highly competent girl able to keep track of everything except her own belongings. Gives Raymond way more credit than he deserves, which doesn't actually stop her from attempting to bring the wrath of the Strahtan government down on his head for his asshattery in Lhant.

RANGER'S PROMISE ➼ Hubert's Accel Finality. Hopefully. Because otherwise I don't know what I'm going to do about this journal name.

As a child, this version of Hubert is more assertive than his canonical self, displaying clear leadership traits in the way he constantly checks in on Cheria's well-being, takes responsibility for Sophie, and protests Bryce's treatment of Richard. His relative confidence is rooted in knowing that he'll be the next lord of Lhant; it gives him an internal north star that he can use to orient his thinking and decisions. Far from feeling trapped by the role, Hubert is happy to grow into it, to have a goal to work towards. The result is that he takes to his lordly responsibilities much, much more easily than Asbel does in canon.

Hubert does remain rather skittish, however. It takes quite a bit out of him emotionally to stand up against Bryce, a perceived authority figure who also has a less-than-agreeable personality. He is aware of his personal flaws to a fault, beating himself up over how he handled the situation with Bryce despite the fact that it ultimately turned out fine. And although he is technically trained to handle a sword, he isn't wholly at ease with wielding one (he holds a one-handed sword with both hands). Regardless, Hubert is ultimately comfortable with the idea of overseeing Lhant one day.

Following the trauma in the catacombs, Hubert is understandably shaken to his core. All of his insecurities, previously only simmering under the surface, now begin to boil over, and seven years of training at the knight academy seemingly do little to prevent them from spilling out. He is much less sure of himself and his skills, and his softer, sensitive side surfaces to the point of him shedding tears or being close to doing so several times over the course of the main story. He is continually frustrated with his apparent inability to correct course on his mistakes. No matter the progress he's made, he feels as though he'll never be good enough to do what he needs to do as the new lord of Lhant in the wake of Aston's death.
