I'm surprised you'd quibble over something like that. I mean, seriously: spoiler[Yes, Fate was born using Alicia's genes, which are those of Precia's daughter. In other words, Fate has the exact same genes as Alica's parents, *and* she has at least some, if not more, of Alicia's memories, which is *why* she thinks of herself as Precia's daughter. Plus, Precia encouraged that belief and used it for her own ends, which is one of the reasons she was such a horrible mother.] So far as I can tell from watching the series, it seems like Fate was *brought up* as spoiler[Precia's daughter. Precia called her that. Fate treated Precia as her mother. Arf thought they were mother-daughter as well. Remember that at first, Precia was hoping that Alicia's memories would "return" to Fate (which they did, at least in part, but apparently Precia never realized that, maybe it happened after she'd given up), but it was when they didn't (at least not at the time) that she considered the experiment a failure, turning to going to Al-Hazad as a way of getting what she wanted instead, and using her failed experiment to make it happen.] So, Fate had spoiler[the genes of Precia's daughter, (some of) the memories of Precia's daughter, and was called Precia's daughter by everyone, including Precia. Yet Precia had been driven insane by the death of Alicia. She was unable to even recognize that there was any success in her experiment. Even if Alicia herself had appeared in Fate (which I think did happen), I'm not sure it would've penetrated Precia's shroud of self-hatred and self-recrimination.] But seeing Fate trying so desperately to do so while still being abused so thoroughly is what made it so heart-breaking for me. |

i too was wondering about that. its possible that he is a genuine fairy ermine or was a human that was turned into one for breaking the rules. though i say it was the latter cause that have to be the primary reason he's perverted. he was human from the beginning. Unfortunately nothing was mentioned about that in that series or in the neo series, but it might have a mention about it in HQ Holder if he makes a cameo appearance.
and both were bad ,but seriously. using her own son as a test subject and subjecting him to psychological torture after the DWMA anniversary arc had to have put her over raygo and ren. and there are some that liked the whole mother/daughter thing too. also there was kyoshiro's (from soultaker) mom as well who cleaved his heart with a kitchen knife only to be turned into a devil. mother of year she is definitely not. |

I am proud that I can stand up and say I don't know a dang thing about Pokémon. Well, I know a couple of small things mainly from fallout of accidentally glimpsing things about it, but I stand up and say I don't know a dang thing about it and I am proud when I do that. Digimon is 'way better.
The list of useless pets is short. Three that should have been included are Panty & Stocking's Chuck, Drossel von Flugel's Schädenfreude (Fireball), and Excel's Menchi. I considered including the cat from FLCL (the big gray house cat, not the little black thing by the river that I am not even sure was a real cat and did not appear to be anyone's pet) but Haruka seemed to think the cat was a better conversational partner than Naota, and it was also being very impressively cat-like which is of course being useless to humans in a way that says the humans don't deserve any help, and also seemed to be the only creature that really knew what was going on and wasn't going to provide anything in the way of an explanation, so all that together kind of makes the rest of the cast seem useless in comparison, which is what cats are for. My philosophy is that if humans did not exist, cats would not have cheese. |

What? He served admirably as their emergency backup food source. They just never came down to needing it, but still useful (better to have & not need then need & not have.) |
