I guess if her personality matched her hair, then that might work out better...

Anime: Where hair has to match the personality.
seriously, only in anime you can tell by the haircolor often the basic character >_> This also applies to anime like franchise.

[momobunny]

Ange's hair doesn't match her personality though... even in the game she said that it was too childish for her, she only wears those accessories because Battler got them for her.

I think along with the color it matches her personality quite good with a bit of overinterpretation. Though not the personality how she is presented in the anime..

[momobunny]

I think her hair suits her, she wouldn't be the same to me if she had another style. I'm just saying, it's a bit childish for a serious character like herself...

[Uchiha Soul]

Can anyone give me the names of the smokers in the series? if u can make a list of " who is smoking", "who is not" and "who is hating the smoke".

[Kitsu]

We know that at least:

Rudolph, Hideyoshi and since the anime Krauss smoke
and that Eva hates it and Kyrie and Rosa seem to be able to stand it (Ep 3 Manga chapter 2, they don't make a fuss out of it and stay)

[Jan-Poo]

We don't have many info

Hideyoshi and Rudolf definitely smoke

Krauss was seen smoking in the anime, but there's no mention of that in the novel afaik

Eva hates smoke

Kyrie doesn't smoke


for there rest there can be only conjectures.

I hardly see how the cousins would be smokers, especially that perfect mama's boy of George.

Nanjo probably doesn't smoke being a doctor. Though I know a lot of real doctors who smoke nonetheless

Natsuhi is too refined to be a smoking woman.

I doubt the servants smoke. Kanon and Shannon are too young, Genji is too uptight, Gohda is always trying to look good in Natsuhi's eyes and I doubt Natsuhi would like a smoking servant. Kumasawa doesn't seem to kind of person who could smoke.

Rosa might be a smoker, but she probably doesn't do that in front of her daughter.

[Uchiha Soul]

alright .. i guess we have lots that we are not sure !!

what about Kinzo? and did Hideyoushi smoke if Eva around?

No, Hideyoshi wouldn't smoke if Eva was around.

[Uchiha Soul]

who did give Okonogi-san the responsibility for caring about Ushiromiya heritage and working with their money? Ushiromiya or Sumadara?

from my point, i say he was assigned by Eva according the way he was talking about her .. but is he well known by the whole family or just Eva, i mean can we consider him one of Family Friends or just a worker?

and is he working as a guardian to Ange bcoz it is looks like she listens to his advises and can easily open a conversation with him?

im trying to gather some info to put my own theories so thanx guyz about the smoking info and if u find out more characters that does/doesnt/hates to smoke plz let me know.

[Jan-Poo]

Okay time to sum up some facts.

Spoiler for Okonogi, spoilers up to anime episode20 and some novel facts up to this point:

Okonogi has been Hideyoshi's partner in business since a long time. if I remind correctly Okonogi was the head of a food distribution company.

George has been working under Okonogi and he learned a lot from him. Okonogi was mentioned since Ep1 !!!

After the tragic events on Rokkenjima Eva became a ruthless magnate buying companies over companies and destroying everything in her path. However since Okonogi was Hideyoshi's friend since a long time and a valuable person, Eva hired him and gave him a high position in the Ushiromiya's company.

Then Eva dies and Okonogi finds himself in the position of head administrator of the ushiromiya's company.

Kasumi Sumadera and Okonogi do not particularly like each other.

[Uchiha Soul]

Bcoz of my curiosity i learn somethimg i shouldn't know since i'm not VN reader or game player .. but this info is such a valuable one. OMG it gonna help me with my theory alot .

i know im asking alot today but plz bear me alittle bit.

1- what relationship Ushiromiya and Sumadara have (other than relationship by marriage) are there any friendship, allies, ..... ?

2- did Kinzo leave the Island? i mean for work, vacation, any other reason.

[Jan-Poo]

Those aren't really spoilers because in the novel at this point you are supposed to know already all that stuff. Those are simply things that the anime omitted, minor details.

to answer your next question number1 however it is something that should be said later. After this warning you are free to read it or not.

Spoiler for Kasumi Sumadera:

She's Kyrie's younger sister and as such she is the closest relative alive of Ange. Ange is still a minor under japanese laws, I think you can guess the rest.

2) Can't be 100% sure but Kinzo pretty much lived a life of seclusion in the last years.

[Ithekro]

Eva's reaction suggests she's allergic to cigarette smoke.

[Uchiha Soul]

another 2 questions

* in Arc 1 when they found Kinzo burned corpse, did Nanjo talked about the time of death? i mean in specific details.


* did Ange visit the island before?

[Kitsu]

* in Arc 1 when they found Kinzo burned corpse, did Nanjo talked about the time of death? i mean in specific details.

He didn't and that would be quite natural because he is not a professional for this kind of things and even those especially trained for this wouldn't be able to find out the time of death of a burned corpse without the right equipment and time

Yes, Ang ecame to t he annual conference before.

she doesn't have to be allergic to it. Some people just don't like cigarettes or the smoke that comes from it. I know when I smell cigarette smoke near me I have a small urge to cough because of the chemicals being released in it.

[Ithekro]

Just the visual of her reaction reminded me of my mother who is allergic to it, thus my reaction.

Wait what I don't remember this ever happening. As far as I remember the only person in the family outside her immediate one she was ever in constant contact with was Maria and probably Rosa. Could someone send me a PM of what Ep it was actually said that Ange has ever set foot on Rokkenjima? My memory of the events have been slipping lately.
