Clair Obscur is perhaps the Frenchest game I've ever played
Right!? I've been watching a Let's Play recently and it is so very French. I actually dug up my old Amelie soundtrack to play in the background when I wasn't watching it, because it continued the mood perfectly. Even apart from the mimes and the baguettes, the clothes and the melting Eiffel Tower, there's something about the characters themselves that comes across as very French to me. ... or maybe it's the French curses they kept even in the English version. :P
Anyway, I can't say I love any of the characters either (I'm a bit further than you in watching), but I do like Maelle and Lune quite a bit, especially Lune's pragmatism and goal-orientedness. And I totally get the Verso resentment, and the feeling that he's supposed to almost seamlessly replace Gustave. He doesn't really, but it does feel that way, yeah. (There's a conversation he has with Maelle about grief that started to thaw me - and her - on him a bit I think.)
