At everyone else. After reading an certain post in the romance thread. I was thinking has there been a discussion on what Kallen is going to do in the future? If there ever is a sequel, how would Kallen be presented in it(note:not only about romance, that much is pretty clear at least? I think they/staff could do quite a number of things regarding Kallen.

here is a concept i had

Spoiler for kallen in any future story line:

japan
student in ashford (has to repeat her 2nd year)
memeber of SC along with rivals and miya
keeps the stripped down guren frame in ashford (in the same way the ganimade was) for use as a pizza maker (and potential use for other more plot related purposes)
BFF with nunnaly (she has no one else left from ashford), they chat online and they hang out whenever nunnaly is in japan or kallen is in britannia (more on that later)
re-forging her bond with her mother and making up for lost time
keeps some contact with the OOBK members but mostly has litttle to do with them (she is much younger then them and they have few things in comman now that the war is over)

britannia
also re-building her relationship with her father (thanx to lelouch she no longer has to choose whether or not she's japanese or britannian, she's both)
her father has since moved back to britannia but kallen goes to visit him every month or so (she stays over a few days, during the course of which she visits nunnaly and tests a new KMF for Lloyd)
given her achivements during the war against lelouch (namely, killing lelouch's "Knight of zero") any shame she may have caused to the shtadfeld family has been erased and she is recognized (by her father at least) as the future head of the shtadfeld household (for the time being she refuses to except such an offer, she wants to stand on her own first)
corrent test pilot of the guenivir (9th gen mass-production prototype, kinda like a vincent albion) due to Lloyd's former test pilot being dead (to the world at least), his last 9th gen being destroyed and Lloyd bitching that its kallen's fault (kallen for her part does it for the fun of it, and only during her visits to britannia)
the guenivir however is being tested off the battlefield and as such kallen doesnt actually use it to fight anyone (only test it for the data)

as a whole she is happy and living her life as much as she can (living for two, as it were)
but underneath it all she still feels the pain of lelouch's death almost every day as well as guilt for getting to enjoy a world whos creation she fought her hardest to prevent (knowing about ZERO-R also means knowing what would have happened had they WON)
this conflict serves as a main part of her charater development in any future story

relationship with nunnaly
following lelouch's death kallen and nunnaly have become very close, with each one recognizing the importance of the other to lelouch and the pain they feel at his loss
kallen views nunnaly as lelouch's reason for fighting (much as her brother was for her) and as such vows to support and protect her in any way she may be needed as a way of keeping lelouch's dream alive
nunnaly for her part views kallen as lelouch's knight (in the same way that suzaku was euphie and gillford cornellia's) and understands lelouch's wish for her and the pain she feels about it (both pain and guilt over not protecting him)
as such she has also deceided to do what ever she can to help her to both get over his death and live her life in full

relationshp with suzaku
following the final battle on the damoclase any past hostilities between the two of them is now gone and both have a new level of respect towards one another
while the world in general views the battle as kallens victory (since suzaku is "dead") between the two of them each one considers the battle to be their loss with neither one interested in pushing it farther
how ever their relationship from the ashford days is also gone and they have since developed a relationship based mostly on their connection with nunnaly
suzaku being nunnaly's protector and kallen as her friend
since both are former "soldiers" they have little problem talking between themselves on potential risks and problems that nunnaly's rule may be facing
but when ever things get too personal kallen tends to coldly shoot the conversation down rather then allow for it continue

this happens mostly becouse of several reasons
1)suzaku himself refuses to remove the mask infront of kallen (as in, he is ZERO, rather then suzaku kururugi wearing the mask of ZERO) when in privete
and since ZERO has no personal life kallen isnt willing to share her personal life with him in return
2)kallen dislikes suzaku for killing lelouch despite knowing full well that it was on lelouch's orders
this stems mostly from kallen projecting her own feelings of guilt over trying to kill lelouch her self on to suzaku (who actually did it on lelouch's request)
3)following suzaku becoming ZERO he has become nunnaly's protector both out of his personal feelings for nunnaly and over his guilt for killing lelouch (lelouch had asked him to protect nunnaly, and he views it as a final vow to his dead friend)
this has resulted in suzaku coming to view nunnaly's protection as his duty to lelouch
unfortunetly his feelings of duty also extend (albit on a smaller level) to kallen as well (after all, he KNOWS why lelouch didnt include her in ZERO-R) and as such he doesnt really like her involvement in activites such as Lloyds new prototype (knowing that lelouch would have wanted her to have a more peaceful life)
kallen (who also feel similler feelings of guilt) knows this and is not willing to except him as a protector in any way shape or form
both becouse that would (in her mind) put her on a lower level suzaku rather then as his equal (as she views herself)
and becouse she is offended that he is being nice to her out of guilt rather then out of actual feelings of kindness

these factors make their relationship a very delicate balancing act for a considerable part of any future storyline

well this is what i have so far
