Carl-E:
Does anyone else see a bit of Dora's attitude towards Sven in Gavia's reaction to Ardent? A general loathing born of envy at the ease with which the male gets by socially?
There's probably a feminist rant in there somewhere, but I'm tired.
hedgie:
Above any sibling rivalry, at this point, he's a walking, talking reminder of what she has lost. It's one thing to be "normal" all of one's life. If one has super-powers (which the nanos basically are) and then loses them, it's going to be a heavy blow. Having to be constantly reminded of that isn't exactly going to make the loon a happy person.
Also, unlike Sven, Ardent is basically an innocent.

Somewhat, but I don't think gender has anything to do with it. If Gavia was a boy I think the resentment would still exist on account of all the misfortune suffered while Ardent has everything going for him. I agree that Sven's life seemed to be fairly free of challenges, however, Dora believed Sven was favored above her which may be a biased sibling perspective. The straw that broke the camel's back in their relationship was his love and leave them attitude with her friends. Ardent's a libertine, but I don't think he's ever done the same since Gavia doesn't have any friends anyway.
BenRG:
New Comic up!
Hmmm... I wonder if we have finally met the Big Bad? One of the worst sort - the one who causes harm by a combination of selfish desire and ignorance.
JimC:
