Shannon is my favorite character in Episode 2. :3

[Nino07]

OMG Poor Shannon^^;
Kanon is a hot topic up there but she only has one reply here OwO;;

I love her^^ She's very mature and kind. But despite those she can also stand on her own two feet and

Spoiler for Episode II - II of the anime:

even go against Beato and control her own life

Such an amazing and very pretty girl^^ Perfect waifu material
To be honest I don't think she even needed

Spoiler for Episode II- I:

Beato's powers for (or was that all a trick too?) *shot*

help to get to George in the first place.

[Katsu Koneko]

Must spread Shannon love! <3

I really do think Shannon is a strong girl to even put up with Eva and Natsuhi's comments and still keep up a smile in front of everyone. It must be hard enduring those broody times especially during the yearly family conference. Then there's how she's been working at the mansion since she was about six years old. Talk about dedication.

So is the one-winged eagle on her leg a permanent tattoo?

[Bureiku]

didnt the new preview show her doing something crazy and spinny it was pink and she had a hand mirror or somthingor was that just an MAD i watched

[Nino07]

^ huh? ^^;
Which episode preview are you talking about?

[Fabelyn]

^ Maybe Bureiku saw the Shannon Dance? XD

[Nino07]

lol maybe

Ahh this thread isn't moving at all XDDD
While Kanon seems to be a hot topic up there! 2 pages already lolol

I mean come on^^;

[Kitsu]

Well normally I would try to make up some awesome discussion, but well what could we discuss? ?

I mean I really like Shannon is one of my favorites but I don't find any topics in the moment

[momobunny]

There seems to be more to discuss about Kanon seeing as his personality is a bit dark and his issues with Jessica are a little difficult. George and Shannon are both mature and kind and have each other's love... so there's not really much else to discuss about them at the moment I suppose. Which would explain why this thread isn't as full as Kanon's.

At times I feel like Shannon sounds a bit too much like Taiga/Shana/Louise... I still like her voice, I find it cute. But I can't get their pictures out of my head whenever I hear her sometimes. ^^;

That tends to happen. Like how I can't stop thinking of Yuuko when I hear Beatrice.

@Katsu Koneko:
I think it's a permanent tattoo... I mean, what else could it be?

[tezu]

Whee ~ finally a thread for my favorite Umineko character Shannon! After watching the first 7 anime episodes, I really think that Shannon behaves much more lady-like than Eva or Natsuhi ^^; She's so considerate and kind but nevertheless strong-willed

To be honest I don't think she even needed

Spoiler for for Episode II-I:

Beato's powers for (or was that all a trick too?) *shot*

help to get to George in the first place.

I wonder about that, too... I've always had the impression that George already cared for her before Beatrice appeared... O_o So the question is in how far it helped their relationship...

[rogerpepitone]

My understanding is that her deal with Beatrice wouldn't affect George's feelings, but it would clear out other obstacles.

[Snickripep]

Shannon is so strong. I really admire her as a character.
She's my favorite from episode 1-8 (of the anime).

Question. How OLD is Shannon? I always assumed she was older then Jessica and Battler and them, like 19-20. Not 16 like I hear some people saying. Where did this 16 years come from?

They even ask Shannon what she remembers of Battler, as if she was older and remember his cute antics better.

Shannon came to Rokkenjima at six years old and has been working there for ten years. That's where the 16 years old is coming from.

I do, however, think that she's older than that.

[Ronove]

Shannon is magically beautiful! But in

Spoiler:

Episode 6, she seems a bit suspicious along with Jessica, Kanon and George

.

Although, Shannon is a bit of a possible suspect to the game.

Well, George IS around 20 or 22. If he's marrying a minor, that's... illegal? Yeah, I think she is older.

[sona-nyl]

Nope in Japan you can marry when youre 16 so its not illegal at all.

[Symphie]

So if Shannon really is 16.... then... woah.... what the --- b-but her body q___q *confused*

and i always got the idea that she's older than Jessi (Jessica is 18 right? -dun remember, it was a long time ago i read EP1 x_x; ) since she's showing a more mature side but that might just be a part of her personality? :X

Weren't she and Kanon at the same place when they were younger? How come then Kanon ended up... yeah.... SAD TYPE? but not Shannon? does she hide it within her? hmmm hmm.

Oh wow, young marrige. Although, I could've sworn she's older than Jessica, or younger. Either way, she's definately older than Kanon (from what I remember).

Hmm... maybe her age and existence is a key to this mystery?

And yes, I think Battler and Jessica are the same age; 18. George was born before them. And yes, Shannon's body really packs a difference. Maybe her parents were fast growing people?
