Intro post, I guess?

Hey guys, I've just hopped onto the Code Geass fanwagon, but I have a couple of questions.

One being: What are the het ships for this fandom? Just kinda wonderin'.

Two under the cut, for spoilery reasons.

Why is Karen so upset that Zero is Lelouch? Because he's Britannian? Because she thinks he used her? I was a little confused. Forgive me if this is a dumb question.

I think the ship question has been covered pretty well so far, so I'll leave that one alone.

As for your question about Kallen, we have to keep a few things in mind. First of all, we only got to see the first immediate few seconds of her reaction. There was no time to adjust or to think things through. All she had time to think was "WTF?" Now. I think she's mad at herself more than anything else. At one time, she had Lelouch pegged as Zero. She was almost certain of it. But then, he outright deceived her. Not only would she be mad that he deliberately misled her--one of his most trusted subordinates--but she would also be mad that she was so close and yet let him go.

I don't think that she was shocked that it was a Britannian. Zero made no secret that he wasn't an Eleven. She was simply shocked that it was Lelouch all along. She may be shocked that half the frickin' student council were intimately involved in the rebellion. She might be shocked that these two best friends were major actors fighting on opposite sides. She might be shocked that Lelouch and Suzaku had both gone through school normally, knowing (or highly suspecting) that they were meeting each other on the field of battle. But I think that, more than anything, she was just stunned to realize that everything was under her nose the entire time.

Imagine how she'll react when she finds out all three of Lelouch's identities:
1) Lelouch Lamperouge, cocky Brittanian student,
2) Lelouch vi Britannia, exiled Prince of Britannia, and
3) Zero, leader of the rebellion.

As it stands, a bunch of people know of two of Lelouch's identities (Kallen, Shirley, Milly, etc.). However, among the non-supernatural types, only Lelouch and Suzaku are aware of all three of his identities. It'll be interesting to see how this is handled in the second season.

Ah, I see! Thanks for clearing things up. :]
