So what did everyone think? besides I need to introduce characters...

I could and probably should do that now... ahem! Warning... it's done in no 
particular order...


Wakaba Shinohara= Utena's best friend... often calls Utena her boyfriend. 
Sometimes leaps onto Utena's back to test her friends strength. This has been 
called the Wakaba Glomp. Her mother used to call her "The Onion Princess." as 
did classmates. For her making bento boxes for Utena is a labor of love.

Anthy Himemiya= The "Object" of the Duels at Othori academy. Engagement to the 
Rose Bride can lead you to the Power of Dios... a power which can revolutionize 
the world. She tends the School's Rose Garden, and has a pet monkey Chu-chu who 
has big ears. Currently engaged to Utena even though calling it an engagement is 
embarassing to Utena.

Juri Arisugawa= Captain of the Fencing Club, and also seemingly able to scare 
the whits out of Teachers. There's a rumor a teacher left just because Juri 
glared at her. I think she's the finance manager for the Student Council, which 
she is also on. As a Duelist she also bears a Rose Crest Ring.

Miki "I can never remember his last name"= Well I can't. Anyway... Othori's 
champion Pianist, and currently their second best Fencer interschool. Has some 
issue with a stopwatch. He is the Student Council's Chronicler. As a Duelist he 
also bears a Rose Crest Ring. Stopwatch issue has been linked by some to his 
Letters from "End(s) of the World" His sister Kozue... is a walking spoiler.

Saionji <I've forgotten again>= Captain of the Kendo club. The First Utena was 
victorious to in the dueling arena. Notorious for the Anthy Slap... which he 
often uses on her. Posesses some interesting views on the universe. As a Duelist 
he also bears a Rose Crest Ring. He is Vice President of the Student Council.

Touga Kiryuu= President of the Student Council. Playboy. Manipulator. He is 
Nanami's Brother. As a Duelist he also bears a Rose Crest Ring. To discuss him 
further really is spoilery...

Nanami Kiryuu= Patron Saint of the Brother Complex. She is often the brunt of 
some of the more bizarre episodes in SKU. She has 2 separate followings... these 
three girls who follow her everywhere...and help her with her evil machinations; 
and Mitsuru Tsuwabuki... who does a bit of her homework and plans her day out 
for her... even though he's still in middle school.

The Shadow Play Girls= These "three" girls play out some of the elements of the 
current episode against all kinds of outlandish backdrops.

Utena Tenjou= Last but not least I cover the Heroine of SKU. When she lost her 
parents when she was young a Prince came to her aid allowing her to move on past 
her parent's death. So enamored with what he'd done for her was she that she 
herself wanted to save someone and vowed to be a Prince herself. Her Duelist 
Rose Crest ring was given to her by her Prince. He said it would guide her to 
him one day. She's a normal enough girl by her own beliefs... she's looking for 
a man in her life, much like also her friend Wakaba is. This is of course 
blurred by the fact she has a specially made copy of the boy's uniform, and that 
she's better than most guys at her school in the sports she plays.


Florida, Roman L'amour, are all tempies for the fic. The Feast of St. Florian is 
on May 4th.

http://www.catholic.org/saints/saints/florian.html

Florian also means flowering in this name dictionary I have and I almost made 
Roman L'amour, Florian L'amour... but that might have over shadowed SPG C and so 
I went with her in a disguise instead and changed the name.


When they are talking about the title being off it is because the author 
thinking with a base language of Japanese wrote something then in French... 
which was then translated back. Sort of like putting a webpage through 
http://bablefish.altavista.com if you put something through it... then translate 
it back to the other language... it can really mess up meanings. Couldn't find a 
real place fo that within th fic itself that's why it's "here"

the actual title is hayazaki michinurunokoi... wich like many otaku found 
phrases... i just a direct translation of flowering and "illicit love affair"

Would you believe babelfish wouldn't translate romance into french for me? kept 
giving me roman... like someone from Rome.


Anyway... I'll shut up now ^-^
