Spoiler for EP8 Spoilers for Featherine:

フェザリーヌ・アウグストゥス・アウローラ。
Featherine Augustus Aurora.

……伝説の大魔女。
The Great Witch of Legend.

魔女の域を極め過ぎて、造物主の域にまで達し、
Extremely surpassing the level of a witch, reaching almost to the level of a Creator,

………至ってはならぬ境地に触れ、死の病に没したと伝えられていた。
.. and in order not to reach it she searches for a way to erase her deathly sickness (??? on this last part... but I guess you get the gist of it.)

In other words, on the meta level, Featherine is near a creator level and as it was said in earlier tips, the voyagers fear to become creators so she, in her way of trying not to become one, searches for ways to entertain herself/keep herself from dying of boredom.

In other words, Hachijou keeps trying to find ways from being a real author. Back when I saw that tip about Witches, Voyagers and Creators, I joked to my friends, half-seriously that the Voyagers feared to become Creators because then they'll have to deal with publishers, editors and annoying deadlines. 8)

Looks like that was true... 8)

Okay thanks! That actually made a lot of sense. I was having a metaphysical discussion with my mentor and unrelated to Umineko he discussed how the most powerful beings of a plane fear of moving on to higher plane as they are fearful of the unknown. So that makes a lot of sense when I related this to Umineko.
