I think her name is Tea, she shows up sometimes in bonus pages and lets people know if there's a story break coming up (stuff like city face).

EDIT: While she appears to be student, I don't believe she's shown up in canon. She's aware that there's an audience, but then again, the first chapter has Annie narrating a bit.

Yeah I don't think she's an actual character in the story, more like someone Tom uses to talk with the audience at various intervals.

She's kind of the comic's mascot, I guess? That's the way it seems to me.

I like how Tom just uses the Formspring to evade questions, like this exchange:
Is ether and magic a secret to everyone outside the court? If so then wouldn't pointy ears attract unwanted attention? Also some of the beings with powers don't seem to care what they do or who sees.
It's a funny story actually...

I remember reading a few years back, in /co/ I think, that she was a character Tom used to draw in old comics/illustrations here on SA. I remember seeing some images, too; she used to look a bit like an Ah My Goddess character, but that was way back then. Not too sure about most of this though and, since archive searching is a non-existing feature (thanks, radium!), I can't dig the stuff on my own. But hey, trivia! Somewhat!

I could see something like "The Mystery at the Moss-Covered Mansion" for text but it works just as well on its own.

They are from here and here, respectively.

I know someone asked before in this thread how you update your avatar and keep your gang tag. Did anyone ever answer that? Because I like my tag, and wish to keep it if I decide to get a GC avatar. Is it just a matter of including the HTML, or will that get stripped out?

You just get the direct link to the tag image and put it in [img][/img] tags in the description box.

I think Esme meant an animation that goes up on the same page, showing ghost Jeanne with her sword in the heart, rather than showing the golem-robot heart.

Well, since the sworded heart image looks like an amulet cropped like that, perhaps something like "My heart, for you to wear."?

I believe Tom mentioned somewhere that he made up the design to represent her, sort of how he uses symbols of alchemy to represent other characters. It might have to do with how it looks like the wire of an incandescent lightbulb, like in this page: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=757

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Number 169 posted:

In addition to being reminiscent of an incandescent lamp filament, it's in the shape of a face - the pointy bit is the nose and the horizontal line and the big arc at the bottom form a big happy mouth.

If you're thinking song lyrics, you could try something from this song.

I like the "what is it for" quote, though.

e: Or you could listen to it instead of going to a random lyric site, I guess.

Yeah, this one got bought for me when I lamented its loss when another person (who also had it bought for him, I think) replaced it. He's pretty adorable so I decided to keep it. It's getting close to time to retire him, though.
