Quote:IIUC, the Gauntlet is one of a pair inherited from her parents - her sister is using the other one.
Theory: Subaru may be the first to fully make use of both Velka and Midchildan mage-technologies, as opposed to Nanoha and Fate's dabbling hybrid setup.
The original skates, she designed and built herself.
The way her equipment all shows up as part of the same sequence might or might not indicate that they've both been integrated into the full 'Mach Caliber.' I'm inclined to think that she only has one device now, because, from her reaction, its displayed personality didn't exist in a meaningful sense until the 6th Division tech people got ahold of it... like she hadn't gotten even a hint from either of its predecessors. That'd make it a different sort of hybrid from Bardiche and Raging Heart, where, rather than using the same components in different ways, it has two full sets and switches between them according to the needed function. Like comparing a Harrier to a Yak-38, or a hovercraft to a swimming car.
Eh. We'll see.
Ja, -n
