Hm... I don't think any of them would have been terrible really. They would definitely encourage different aspects of his personality though. A team like Citrine or Turq or Emerald probably would have developed more of his shonen stupidity and make him feel less like he needs to be on guard constantly with how he reacts to things. Teams like Coral or Kunzite or Tiger's Eye probably would have pushed his team-dere much further to the front again instead of having it guarded the way he does on Iolite.

Though I guess if you're looking for normal versus wow how did that happen, Iolite has managed to produce a partially sociopathic version of Spitfire which is kind of interesting. \o/;;;;;;;;;;; I don't know if I'd say that was terribad, but it's definitely different.

Fuck marry cliff: Neji, Sasuke, Breeze? :3c
