Anyway, a couple of things i noticed on my second impression -- now reading the scanlation.
=Yagi is getting lazy again; I couldn't put my finger on who Elizabeth looks like, but in general, she looks like
way too many other people.
= I second what Ryus said -- We learn Uranus' name in a backshot of her
. Neideen as well, gave me strong Helen vibes; they would have been fast friends I think.
= Roxanne's "affection" to Cassandra, described as "an intense craving" sounds more like an animal admiring it's prey, especially with that face-shot of her :O.
= Sharing the same "pillow" is of course, the sword....that doesn't necessarily mean that they had an actual relationship together -- that sounds like the purposefully ambiguous kind of writing to make us fill in the blanks by ourselves, and of course, the people who are more into that kind of stuff would think that
.
At the same time though, It wouldn't surprise me if Roxanne did get with her -- because the impression is that she will go to any lengths to get what she wants.
Cassandra for that matter, reminds me a great deal of Teresa, minus the arrogance; perhaps somewhat of Priscilla as well: an innocent with fabulous power who is both revered and feared for it. Her lack of any sort of affection is all too obvious, which is why she falls almost completely over Roxanne -- even if they weren't physically together, simply the friendship would put her in the palm of Roxanne's hand. It says alot on the kind of life she has had till now
.
= Roxanne actually says her nickname which takes me back to what I said much earlier (
http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...2&postcount=73) -- in that, the way she described it, other people gave it too her. Like Ophelia, people began to catch on to what she is and what she is doing but, because of her overall power, the MiB refuse to do anything...which also means, the killing off of their warriors is allowed and unchecked.
Which also could explain why Cassandra refused to let Roxanne go on a hunt with her -- because rumors were undoubtedly spreading that people were dying every time Roxanne went with someone. Though the end of the chapter more or less explains it was because of her technique.
= Wow, Fenrir was right -- similar to Galatea's vainity, Cassandra doesn't like using her technique simply because of it's appearance. Now that we have the scan though, we know it's not so much because of an ego problem, but because of her innocence -- It's a technique that doesn't really match at all with her personality.
= Still alot of questions; primarily, I want to know like everyone else, how exactly Roxanne is rising in raw power -- Cassandra is also a bit strange in that she doesn't have so much in power, but more relies on her technique.
- whatever happened to the "which half" sarcasm?
