She looks like a stately and home-bodyish young woman, but Tia's as hard as a diamond emotionally, even if her physical durability is closer to plywood than crystal. But considering all the frog-hunting she and Maxim went on hen they were still together, taking out a giant frog is practically her specialty! And the ability to block Jean's Death spell gives her just enough of an opening to try and crack his skull, which, combined with healing and a speed advantage over the sluggish prince, is all she needs for a win. |
SageAcrin A painter frog prince with a rapier, up against a random storekeeper girl who had to call for help in dealing with a random monster. Doesn't sound like an epic match. However, it turned out to be one. As it turns out, the match was to be held relatively late at night. (The theory was that no one actually cared about the match, so why hold it in valuable daylight time? Let someone actually important fight then.) This wouldn't have mattered-the arenas are well lit. But, as it turns out, it was late enough in the day for Grahf to get collosally wasted off spiked punch at a Xenogears cast reunion party. (Oh, that naughty Chu-Chu, spiking the punch with Drive like that.) So, soon after the battle started, a slurring Grahf flew in, asking drunkenly if Tia wanted some power. Tia, thinking he was hitting on her, promptly screamed and tried to beat him to death with her whip. Grahf, feeling unloved at this, simply powered up Jean and flew off. (Or attempted to-he slammed face-first into an arena wall. Don't do Drive and fly.) So, Jean easily blasted Tia out of the ring with his newly gained powers-which promptly wore off soon after-and the judges were so confused by the whole thing that they just decided to call it an equal amount of interference with both sides, and say Jean won. Jean hasn't gotten over his one shining moment, though. Now Grahf's constantly getting french accented calls from someone he doesn't know, begging him for power. The moral of the story? Well, it could be that if a creepy man offers you power, say yes. Or it could be that you shouldn't fly by night. Or that powered up frogs are frightening creatures indeed. Or just not to go out at night around the arena. But I think the real lesson is simple. Kill Chu-Chu on sight. Jean: 32 |
