Am too lazy to do the pictures since they're all pretty much explanations for what you can already see.

So, here's the message from CLAMP bit instead:

Message(s) from CLAMP

1. Tried out a slight rearrangement of the Zero outfit. Those who support Zero’s cause are identifiable by the common motif of bat wings and chains.

2. Nunnally’s ribbon symbolizes the bonds that denote her capture. Rolo’s wings are drawn to illustrate his uncertainties.

3。 The picture is drawn in light brown penciling to add a divine quality to the image. Cornelia is drawn in a dress. Quite a departure from her true image.

4. Drawn with her clothes and wings all torn up to highlight her mysterious air.

5. Not a main character but we couldn’t resist giving Kallen her own individual shot. Drawn to resemble an Amazoness.

6. The Knights are illustrated with white wings and chains. Gave Suzaku a pose that clearly opposes Lelouch.

7. Gave Anya a bold outfit. Also wanted to draw her in the image of a small bird in its birdcage perching on its swing.

8. Thought of a bunch of ideas to draw V.V. in but nothing seemed to fit. In the end, we just gave up and took our chances in drawing him in the nude.

Wait...KALLEN'S NOT A MAIN CHARACTER?!?!?! Isn't she considered one of the four main characters (along with Lulu, Suzaku, and C.C.)?

This is exactly what I want to know. ...Don't fade into secondary character status my beloved Amazon mecha queen.

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

I'd say she HAS to be a main character, she was in every episode, wasn't she?

Silly CLAMP doesn't even know the show they designed.

[aoi-rein.livejournal.com]

No, I think CLAMP means that C.C. is the first main female character and Kallen is second. Compare to C.C., that definitely yes.

[vspirit.livejournal.com]

I just translated verbatim but I'm of the mindset that what they actually meant was that she's not the lead female. And strange as it may be, she may actually only be considered a secondary character as compared to the primary ones of Lelouch, Suzaku & C.C. Her VA did win for best supporting, and not best lead. I think she might be on the same tier as Nunnally or something.

...I already considered her a side character from the start? Main characters are constantly there from the very beginning, usually, and they're the focus of the story.

I'll say it again, thank you very much. *hugs*

[vspirit.livejournal.com]

no worries. it wasn't a lot of work.

[sapphirus.livejournal.com]

I just want to say that I love your icon. D: Run into the sunset, Cactuar!!

[vspirit.livejournal.com]

LoL! Thanks. I think it used to be a wallpaper. I just converted it into an icon. xD

[sapphirus.livejournal.com]

:< I love it very much. I don't know what I would use it for, but if I could, I'd take it (with permission & credit).

[vspirit.livejournal.com]

Haha, i'd give you the original wallpaper but it's lost. i think maybe it's sitting in my old hard drive, which means i uploaded this icon ages ago. i don't even have a backup of this icon on my current computer. -.-;;

if you like it, go ahead and take it. but i myself ganked it off elsewhere (an obscure site which, needless to say, i can't remember) so i can't tell ya who to credit. ^^;;

[vspirit.livejournal.com]

and ah, i like your icon too. it's that dude from suiko, isn't it? the one opposite pesmerga...tho i can't recall his name at the mo. funny i can recall pazzy's but not his. =/

[sapphirus.livejournal.com]

Yuber~

I'm surprised someone remembers Pessy but not Yuber. D: It's always the other way around and that makes me sad. I mean, Pesmerga exists too! DX
