Adr... I am seriously having trouble believing that you are honestly asking all these question that are either pointless or obvious.

To answer, though:

Regius had to die because he could have revealed valuable information on Jail.

Zest chose to die because -and he said this multiple times- he already was a dead man walking. He died once, and was brought back. He knew he was going to to die anyway, so he wanted to die a knights death.

Is there anyone can tell me the reason why Arf-san (Fate's familiar) is absent in this series.
In the first two seasons, Arf has the protection power that can help Fate in the battle.
I wonder why she is absent in this series.

i believe her role is equivalent to Yuuno's - a support type of character. This season of Nanoha mainly focuses on the 4 young trainees under the care of Nanoha and Fate, under the command of Hayate. The story doesnt revolve alot on Nanoha and Fate anymore, its involving Teana, Erio, Carlo and Subaru as well. They probably dont have alot of time to input all the character's parts into it.

Unlike in 1st and 2nd season of Nanoha where it involves Nanoha and Fate's adventures, this season doesnt go towards that direction anymore. Therefore, Arf cannot be added into the story.

You can say shes a character thats been....thrown away.

The official reason is that Fate is all grown up and doesn't need Arf's direct protection anymore. Therefore, Arf decides to turn into a little kid to reduce the power draw and "protect" Fate's interests elsewhere (family).

The real reason is probably a desperate attempt to reduce the overflowing number of characters in the show. The official reason makes no sense with the limiter - if I were Fate, I'd dump all (or at least a large fraction of) the power the limiter isn't letting me use on a regular basis into Arf, making her super-Arf. I'd then move her in close, ready to bail me out if I need power and HQ isn't cooperating for any reason, or even if I get to use full power, 2 Weak on 1 is often better than 1 Strong on 1 (within limits).

I don't really think that's the main reason for the absence of Arf-san in this serie.
Vita and Signum's familiar still get involve in the battle right?
I think this series is kind of boring, many characters are thrown away like Kazuki said.
Yunno became a professor in the university. Isn't it tricky? At the end of season 2. the film director gave us a feeling that something will happen in the relationship between Nanoha and Yunno, but in this series, they are not together.

That is a Guardian Beast, and it belongs to Hayate. Notice how he is also shafted nearly to nothing.

Also Zafiria isn't a familiar, he or any of the knights don't draw on Hayate's magical powers. Arf however is a familiar and the more 'human-like', powerful, etc. she is the more magical energy she'll have to constantly drain from Fate.

So she's loli'd in order to use as little mana as possible so as to not hamper Fate.

And Zafiria wasn't shafted as bad as Arf actually. He got to fight, she did not.

I don't know... What Zafira has been reduced to... Feels pretty bad, especially since he does have screentime, unlike Arf.

I apologise if this has been asked and answered, but does anyone know approximately when did Clyde die? I'm working a a theory that Hayate has the Yaten no Madoshou ever since she's born and that can only work if Clyde died before her birth.

Trying to guess from the Harlaowns' family photo is really not very helpful .

11 years before A's. So, when Chrono's 3 years old.

Ah, many thanks. Hmm, good, good....

Curious though, where did this info come from anyway?

Add-On: Geh, just realised that Signum actually mentioned that the Tome has been with Hayate since birth in A's #6. Should have check canon a bit more thoroughly.... ><

My opinion is that she couldn't be higher than AA...

But no, as far as I know, it was never mentioned.

I think Lowe means her rank as in like... i.e. Private not her Mage Rank.

IIRC, she has no silver shoulder boards, which means non-officer. Based on likely number of years in service, she's most likely a Sergeant or maybe Master Sergeant.

But it is never officially stated. Which is good for the FanFic writer - he's free to write anything he wants.

Somehow, I wanted Quint to be a Sergeant, just thought that perhaps she had a much higher rank... thanks for the info

There isn't any "facts" to support he exact age. My guess Sister Schach's age is around 22. I just found out that she's ranked AAA.

Lessee...

Well all we have are inferences at this point, I guess. No exacts.

Chrono's 24 in StS. Rossa would probably be about the same age as he is(+/-2).
Given how Schach lords over Rossa in SS02, and the fact that she took care of him when he was admitted into the Saint Church, I'd give it a range of her being 3-8 years older, depending on how old Rossa was when he got in.

tl;dr? 25-32 years old.
