And then I wake up from a sound sleep with the realization that I'm an idiot. Sylv does have a middle name, always has had one. It's "Anri".

that would make her initials SAD. Somehow I don't think that was intentional, but then, maybe?

No, that's a coincidence. It's a fairly obvious reference, if you're a Bronze Age anime fan. :)

... I didn't realize till just now that that series was old enough to count as such.

So, did her namesake(s) exist in UF?

Blessed be.

Yup. They're why G's first journeyman Katsujinkenryuu student got herself perished in 2333.

Go watch the fifth and sixth episodes of the original Bubblegum Crisis OVAs. When you're done clawing your eyes out over the hilariously dated animation quality, get a Braille terminal and come back if you need any clarifications. :)

Oh, that Sylvie. I got that, the first time I saw Priss in context, too. I was just trying to figure out the "Ann" part, as I didn't recall the BGC character having a middle name (or a last name, for that matter).

Not Ann, Anri. Anri is the other replicant who escapes with Sylvie from the Genaros station in Moonlight Rambler.

Kate was born on St. Patrick's Day?

So, basically, I'm exactly 307 years older than our dear heroine with the stutter.
Cool.

If that's March 17, then, yes.

Is there any particular rhyme or reason behind the birthdates?

Not in all cases. Kate was born in March, for instance, because she was conceived the previous June. Corwin and Leonard's birthday is that of the late Derek Bacon, which (coincidentally) works out nicely against the timing of the Ragnarok (which was chosen at random, if memory serves). No particular significance to the others that I remember at the moment.

It is - I have good reason to know, it being my birthday, and what with the Irish blood in my lineage... Being pinched as an Irishman (I want to meet who started /that/ tradition so I can maul him...), and punched as the Birthday Boy. Is it any wonder that I took up collecting weapons? ("Try and pinch me again, and this katana is going to take your hand off at the shoulder. All right?")

That trigered a rather funny flashback from the day I first went to my gf's house:
As soon as I entered her house she took the katana which was hanging from the wall and put it next to her seat and told me: "Be careful whith your hands, becouse if you misplace them, you will loose them..."

Pangaro, that really screwed my plans for that night...
Paying attention to the wrong part of the speech since 1986...

Corwin and Leonard on the same day? Wow, there's a story I would love to see written. Also, as has been mentioned in another thread, somebody has got to write all the siblings and relationships down, it's getting impossible to know the players without a program! But I love it anyway. ;)

Yup, and Corwin was born (allowing for local time differences between Nekomikoka and New Avalon) about six hours earlier than Len, which makes Len the baby forever. :)

>"What do you think they were doing in that tent? Playing

Well, technically speaking, daring to play Scrabble with a divinity is o'erstepping one's bounds if one is a mere mortal. (You'll notice that Utena has the hubris not only to play Scrabble with gods, but to play Lying Bastard Scrabble with them; we haven't seen her play it with Corwin's mom and/or aunts, but rest assured she has. It's a very popular game in the Castle. :)

Which only goes to show that even the Gods have a sense of humor. ^_^

Well, the existence of the duckbill platypus proves quite conclusively that if one accepts/believes in God, Goddess, and/or a plurality of divinities, that they then do, in fact, have a sense of humor

Unfortunately, nobody on Tomodachi bothered to notify him until it was all over. (They can be excused for this lapse, I think, given that Corwin's cousin Hiroshi was born that same week. Things were pretty hectic around the temple for a while. :)

Corwin's birth, or Corwin altogether?

Corwin's birth. Corwin altogether was kind of obvious for some time previous. :)
