A White Hat Cracker, Amane had already seen and done things that gave her ageless eyes before originally arriving in Detroit.
|
|
|
For a variety of reasons, It Was with You All Along is a powerful lesson Amane carried back with her after journeying through Asia. From Detroit she fled to Japan to reconnect with her roots, then traveled to Hong Kong, Main-Land China, veering into Afghanistan and finally ending in Bhutan.
|
|
|
Now singing the Orphan Song as a fully awakened Mage she sees herself as still in possession of Psychic Powers, but no longer sees them as bearing any context to her skills with the computer.
|
|
|
Rather, from her Genra Savvy point of view, she is closer to the Blue-Collar Warlock.
|
|
|
In fact, like most Blue-Collar Warlocks she has a Dark and Troubled Past. Just how troubled is still a story to be told, especially as she does not really talk about it much.
|
|
|
Being a Bounty Hunter also puts her squarely under the label of Action Girl.
|
|
|
And, in the end, Iron Woobie is another good way to describe Amane... but don't tell HER that!

Nine foot tall furry Cuisinart? ABORT/RETRY/FAIL!!!!

|
Oh look, another Demon Lover Stereotype. So does this one fall in love with its 16 year old hamburger with fries?
|
|
Ghosts, yeah. We all have regrets and attachments. I've seen ghosts. More accurate I suppose that I've seen people who were still walking around in their living flesh after something essential inside them died. It's not hard to believe in the lingering of the Self after the body dies.
|
|
Let one walk alone, committing no sin, with few wishes like elephants in the forest.
|
|
Linear, non-linear, look; if you can keep up keep up. If you can't, I'll protect you. We're all human in the end.
|
|
Do I not count? Maybe not. Maybe I lost that part of me when I was a child. I am like a natural phenomenon, a storm, I simply seem to happen to people for better or worse and often the latter. Well, even if this world is more like the one Gibson foresaw I've personally seen the good, the bad, and the ugly under its sky of electronic snow. There are still innocents to protect. Even 'criminals' usually do it just to get by. So, I will stand in the Vanguard and HAPPEN.
