Lets put it this way... Nymphs are very singleminded, about certain things. Learning martial arts is not really one of those things. Stories with nymphs as the heroes would probably be... found in special shops. Ah yes. These would be Anime/Manga stores.

The question is, have An and the others realized Keti is suffering from MGSD? What other reason could they come up with for Keti acting like a Nymph now? And is An working from some knowledge of the dislikes of Nymphs to try and get Keti to stop going after her?
For that matter... wouldn't they have to find a way to "set things right" with Keti, lest she start going after other members of the group such as Iordan or Daniel? Or even Jimmy? =^-^=

I'm not sure Keti really wants An in the way that she hints at now...or would, anyway, prior to contact with the Sword of Slayskull. But if you take her prior experiences and mix that with the tendencies of nymphs...then bring the nymph part exclusively to the fore...she's got missile lock on An as her first target.

I think Keti was starting to fall hard for An and then had a Brigit dropped on her (as opposed to a Bridget). Those feelings remain. And An is not exactly the most feminine of girls, so those conflicted emotions are going to remain. Heck, in the shower she started having a "fantasy" of sorts of An; clearly she is still attracted to An despite An being a girl.
The question is this: has Keti shown attraction to anyone before? Guy or girl? If Keti is gay (I'm not saying she is - I think "bisexual" fits the mark) then subconsciously she might have realized An was a girl. Add in conflicting signals sent by An that could be misconstrued... and we get into this tangle.
But yes, bringing the Nymph aspect of Keti to the forefront, mixed up with Keti's own continued attraction to An, is why An is the unfortunate victim of Kaeti's interest. The ironic thing is, if Keti is rejected by An, then might not Kaeti then turn her interest to the next potential target: Iordan? Though I suspect Kaeti is going to lose her control over Keti by the end of this chapter. For now, at least. ^^

Well put, although I was trying to reserve judgement on sexual orientation as I don't think I had any evidence there...that and this whole split personality situation is one helluva confounding variable.
As much as we can keep this PG-13...do the DSM-IV or Harrison's Internal Medicine count as PG-13?
And why do I see a plot arc before (and if) her core logic rebalances itself, where the personality components are duking it out for supremacy and she switches traits rapid fire, depending on who has the upper hand? I mean first her nymph facet dominates...and she starts hitting on someone...when her wolf facet gets the upper hand...and she starts chewing on them! Something like that.

I do, but it's due to something Emily and Ally said early on: they are trying to avoid stereotypes and the like concerning human sexuality. I'm garbling what they said, but... in short, Keti is not gay. But she is not straight. None of the characters are forced into a set role.

Augh first the rope bridge now Dan's shirt!? Does it *really* matter whether I hand draw lines or use a pattern from panel to panel? Sometimes one is easier than the other.

Sorry Em, but... yes. Especially as you came up with a cool explanation at one point (faerie fabrics that keep their patterns) and then hand-drew these stripes. Though I figured it was that the fabric reflects the emotions of the person, and Dan's emotions were so conflicted that the stripes started going curvy on him. =^-^=
(At least I had cut the segment (for length's sake) commenting on the "faerie fabrics" and your explanation for them. Hey, it kept me from looking like a complete idiot at least. ^^)

I don't think I actually said that even. I think the tagboard posters came up with that amongst themselves.

I think you agreed with them. But it may have been one of those "Um... yeah! How'd you guess? Wow, that's amazing..." sorts of agreements ^^

Shame. I like the idea of magical fabrics that keep a set pattern. ^^ Especially as some characters deliberately didn't seem to wear said fabrics (like Syl).

It's a bunch of stripes on a shirt, not some mystical pattern that holds the secret of the universe. You don't need to overanalyze things to that extent. I didn't even notice the stripes weren't always even until you folks went off about it.
