Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

IIRC when the manga was first being translated into English there was some wonkiness with the names but the mangaka eventually explained how they wanted it done.

Ania never caught on though, oddly enough.

I like to think that it was Anya not knowing how her name was spelled :3:

Wow, I thought I hallucinated that after the "Loid" thing. I'm glad they stuck with the normal name.

I assumed "night" in relation to Loid's "twilight."

Apparently a coincidence, according to Endo in the fanbook.

Originally, Endo was going to call her Yolanda, with Yor for short, then he decided to keep it short anyway for the speech bubbles. (Had he gone with Yolanda, given it means 'violet', it would probably have got tagged as part of her floral motif.)

Sure, but that's an assumed name. "Yor Briar" is her legitimate given name.

Yep. Which can happen at schools for the gifted, as it did for me. And much like Anya, I was asleep though a lot of those lectures. I wasn't in the gifted program long.

A lot of folks are calling Anya dumb, but she's not. She's average. Which at that school may as well be low-grade moron. Strangely enough, it sounds like Yor's brother Yuri probably would have excelled there had he been given half a chance.

Speaking of which, looks like the effluvia is about to hit the rotary oscillator. :munch:

Anya's also a year or two younger than her classmates which is incredibly significant at that age. She's a very smart 4/5 year old trying to hang with 6 year olds and mostly succeeding.

I don't think they've said how old she is, she just insisted she's 6 after she read Loid's mind when he was doubting she was because she looked short. So she could be almost 6, up to a few years away, or maybe just short for all I know

People are assuming she's four or five because that's what Loid assumed, and he was probably right.

I'd peg Anya as between 5 and 7, behavior-wise. Four year olds are way more incoherent.

Anya was also in and out of the orphanage enough that I doubt she had a particularly steady education.

It's even more impressive when you consider that these kids have probably had the best tutors money and power can buy since birth while Anya's spent the last year or so going in and out of orphanages. It's incredible that she's even managing to keep up.

lmao Damien's got it bad. :allears:

I really like this slow burn arc for Twilight where he's starting to realize that he needs to be a real father to Anya and not just the super spy to sets everything up behind the scenes for her.

Also uh, I hope I've just watched too many bad anime and they're not actually doing the thing with Yor's brother that I think they're doing.
