It's much, much too easy to look at Mikoto and the way she looks at and thinks about the world and conclude that she's really not much more than a typical housecat in a people suit. And, honestly, there's a lot of truth to that - not perfect truth, of course, since I don't think that cats are really built for that utter, perfect loyalty that's so much a part of her, but there's a hell of a lot more about her that's feline than just her eyes.
A typical cat is not built for loyalty true...though I've seen one cat who'd match a dog for loyalty. My sister's Siamese. There's been a couple of times when she's down for a week with a bug and Ming (name of the cat) refused to leave her side to the point of not eating or drinking. My brother-in-law has to carry him downstairs and make him eat.
Quote:True, since her favorite pastime is to run thru the woods with the cats naked..and since Mai isn't an influence yet....
In a lot of ways - far more than I had any clue of at the time - I think she was genuinely feral. Not, of course, in the way that term is usually applied to humans to indicate an individual whose childhood had not included certain vital elements like, oh, language, but in a slightly more subtle sense... Maybe a barbarian would be a better term? Certainly if you look at 'culture' as being the collective memory and beliefs passed on to a child from their parents, she had none to speak of... aside from being really good at haiku, which was just creepy.
Quote:Manga, right?
Yes, she has a libido.
No, I will not tell you how I learned that.
*Remember scenes*
*grabs cottonballs*
good work!
