Sylph's views of the Gen2 cast: as of 12/1/99 Raziel - He's like a big brother to me, someone that helps me out when I'm in trouble, gives me advice when I don't know what to do, and occasionally hits me when I do something dumb. Some people say he looks a little bit strange, or acts like a jerk, but he's really kindhearted and talented, and I have a lot of respect for him. Yukihana - She's one of the nicest people I've ever met, someone who gives selflessly of herself to others, without asking for anything in return. I would never let anyone harm her if I could help it. Seraph - She's.. weird. Sometimes she acts like really immature, like a little kid, then she'll start acting like a bossy adult. I wish I could figure out what on Earth makes her act so spontaneous. Takeo - What a jerk! He's always ignoring me and trying to act like he's so cool, and won't ever listen when I have something important to say. He thinks he's so great because he's a Juraian prince and has a huge sword and can teleport. He might be a tolerable person, if he could stand to drop the cooler than thou act for ten minutes. He isn't fooling anyone with it. Ryan - Speaking of cooler than thou acts.. This one takes the cake. I feel a lot of sympathy for his problems, though, and I wish I could find a way to get him to accept me and open up his own feelings. He's really, really talented at swordfighting, and I hope I can be as good as he with a sword is one day.. or even better. Maybe then he'll notice me... Kura - I think Kura's a really sweet kid. She has the prettiest hair, and even though she's only seven years old, she can still hold her own when fighting any one of the people at the castle much older than she is. I even heard that she managed to defeat Pepper, something I haven't been able to do yet! Pepper - What an interesting guy! He claims to be around six hundred years old, and he seems like the type of person that has a long, mysterious past. Even though he's done some terrible things, he genuinely feels sorry for them, and I can't really hold a grudge. I look up to him as a leader, and as someone I can learn a lot from. Rianna - She's a nice person, but I don't understand why she complains about not having a significant other. When she gets an idea in her head, she won't listen to anything else. Sabre - He's my lil brother! I won't let anyone hurt him! At least, not if I can help it.. We've always gotten along really well together, but lately, I haven't seen him at all. I wish he'd stay around more, it's not as fun without him! Izumi - She's one of my best friends here. She always seems to know what she's doing, and she'll always stand up for her friends and family. She's also a really fun person to be around! Apple - He's such a sweet guy! He's trying to learn more about human emotions, but I don't know how far he can really get. How can you teach things like love, or hate, or sorrow? Akira - He's very friendly and always polite. I think seeing him and Izumi-san together is so sweet! I really hope that they can be happy together.. Gen1 characters that don't get actively involved, yet still stay there for advice (IE: Clef, Blues) - Jerks. All of them. They think that just because they've been here since before we were even born, they can do whatever they want and make fun of all of our attempts to deal with dangers that come, without ever actually lifting a finger to help. If they were REALLY so great and wise, they'd get off their asses and actually do something instead of preaching to us about how bad we are and how we're going to fail because we can't win.
