Character Sheet for The Reason Why.
Nadimia T.K. Davola[]
A young girl, age eight, who appears to be naive and unassuming (although she is, to an extent) but in fact has a very strange set of parents...
- Het Is Ew: For her parents, at least - one is Naida, while the other is Nanami. Nadimia mentioning their names causes Allura to nearly collapse.
 |
Allura: Th-the casket, it....I saw it myself.... it was g---glass.......she stared right through me............ |
 |
- Moe
- Only Sane Girl: She approaches the whole situation rather calmly. Perhaps too calmly...
Allura McCoy[]
An older woman with a troubled past and a vendetta to settle. She's uncomfortable with keeping Nadimia with her, especially due to Chrissie.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: She's the Princess Allura, albeit greatly changed from those days long ago. One major difference, as mentioned in Chapter 3, is that she was forced to watch her parents being murdered.
- Christmas Cake: To an extent.
- My Girl Is a Slut: She can't even seem to reign in her own daughter, although this is nowhere near being her fault.
- My Girl Is Not a Slut: What Allura feels others think her mindset is, since she seems unable to rein her daughter in.
- Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Looks to be in her mid-40s (mid-20s in her costume), but is really much older.
|
"...and I am most certainly too old for school." |
|
- Took a Level In Badass: She's been through quite a bit, which has battered and hardened her.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Lilac, to be specific, although this isn't her natural color.
Chrissie MaCockenshipiel[]
Allura's daughter from her only husband. Although on the surface she appears to be a sweet, kind girl, she has a very foul mind and is prone to saying something provocative at any moment.
- Broken Bird: While Chrissie has had a super-dirty persona for at least 200 years (a mindconditioning gave her said personality, although the change wasn't made clear until she was rescued after a time), she believes she wasn't meant to live for as long as she has (982 years). According to the author, these feelings can be traced back to The Grand Eulogy, where she appears extremely briefly and never interacts with the author himself.
- Curse Cut Short: Several times, a particularly-dirty phrase or word will be cut off.
- Drowning My Sorrows: Implied that this is how she copes with her myriad problems - or at least, the ones her mother doesn't know of.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Inverted; if she's giving Fan Service, chances are pretty good she knows about it.
- Medium Awareness / Fourth Wall Observer: Chrissie nearly calls herself a character during Chapter 2, getting as far as "cha--" before correcting herself and saying "person". Allura doesn't seem to notice this, however.
- Ms. Fanservice / Fan Service with a Smile: Unafraid to be this.
- I'm A Slut!: She will talk innocently and sweetly about butterflies, then (in the same voice!) ask someone a dirty question. And she has few to no reservations about talking that way.
- Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Chrissie adds up her age in bunches during Chapter 2, arriving at 982, then rocks back and forth, sobbing and murmuring about how "I wasn't meant to live this long".
- Too Kinky to Torture: To the point where Allura can't administer motherly punishments because Chrissie likes it.
The Boss[]
An unknown entity who Allura and Chrissie work for, and a very sadistic man. He speaks briefly in Chapter 1, but in Chapter 2 phones Allura's home to order the pair and Nadimia to his headquarters.
- The Faceless: Only one light is in his office, positioned in such a way that his face can't be seen from any angle. Late in the story, Allura and Chrissie discover he doesn't actually have a face - in fact, he's an Auton.
Richard Dawkins[]
A guard who works for the Boss, appearing in Chapter 4. He and Allura seem to know each other.
Not to be confused with this Richard Dawkins.
"The Poison"[]
A serum of unknown substance injected into Allura at the end of Chapter 4 to make her compliant when she refuses to go with the Boss' orders. A form of body control, the poison takes on a physical form within Allura's mind, allowing her a chance to (temporarily) regain control of herself.
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: Between Allura and the poison.
- The Man Behind the Man: The poison's final form within Allura's mind.
|
Form: It is quite a pleasure to be your poison, Mrs. McCoy. (turns towards Allura) |
