Quote:Hmm. Point. Well, it's not like it's _solely_ her plot. In fact, it ties in heavily with all the four Core characters, and one of them in particular, and spoiling that bit would have killed a major point of drama in our concept work for the next arc.
You spend the time to introduce every other character in the story properly. The fact that you don't bother doing so for someone who is so close to a major character, especially when it is quite obviously someone I could be more familiar with if I read different source material, is frankly annoying.
It makes me actively disinterested in the character and, by extension, any plot she is involved with.
We're hoping to make this flow without the sort of interruptus a seemingly 'uninvolved with the major plot of the arc explanatory/gaiden tangent' would cause.
If it appears that it doesn't deliver right now, sorry. It was a stylistic decision as much as it was anything else to not include that plotline in the first arc. Or, not show it in the first arc. There are some hints and foreshadowings of what'll eventually be shown to have happened, and we figured that'd be enough for the introductory arc that didn't include an indepth exploration of the cast's melange of abilities, and how they came by those.
Thanks for pointing the problem out, though. Subjective in nature as this issue is, C&C always helps regardless.
