Not like Old Norse myth didn't have magical shapeshifting up the wazoo anyway - Loki gave birth to Sleipnir (ironically apparently the only one among his colourful children who doesn't fight the Asgardians at Ragnarök btw) while transformed into a mare and he's hardly the only one around with that level of voodoo. Just look at all the wild High Magic shit the jötunn chieftain Utgarda-Loki (no relation) pulls apparently pretty casually in the lulzy and wildly popular cross-dressing yarn Þrymskviða.

Anyone's guess what weird stuff Surtr, if anything a far higher-ranking and more powerful jötunn, is capable of since he basically just doesn't appear at all in the surviving material outside his doombringer role at Ragnarök.

Seems to me Akira's pretty much someone who hasn't really known failure - she's so ridiculously overspecced that so far she's probably been able to achieve essentially anything she's set her sights on with enough effort. Not surprising that this has gone to her head a bit, really.

Then she abruptly slammed headfirst into something where all her awesomeness is completely irrelevant. Now she's trying to get her bearings way off the map, having to come to terms with the limits of her till now unassailable competence with due ramifications to her self-image while coping with unfamiliar and intense new passions.
Growing up is hard to do.

To her credit she promptly recognised her jealousy for what it is and did her best to suppress it, and her initial knee-jerk ire towards Mayuki at the time of the revelation (which no doubt involved a vague, obviously irrational feeling of betrayal) has already simmered down to mere pouty "okay fair enough the kid tries her hardest but I'm still better, hmph."
She may be as volatile as any somewhat self-absorbed teenager grappling with all the messy business of youth, but she's also a basically good person who can't hold unreasonable grudges.

@random Except Surtr was a male giant in Norse mythology unlike this game.

Like that ever stopped anyone. Really failing to see the relevance.

If they're going to use mythological figures in this game it's better to get it right or at least give a justification on why the name is used in such a manner.

Bruh. I know of a cranky dragongirl named Zeus in one game (still appropriately thunder-themed tho); that one also has an isekai'd Isaac Newton who got genderflipped in the process to boot but has gotten used to the situation. And let's not even get started on FGOverse...

Azn devs really treat such details as polite suggestions at best.

  • big tiddy redhead neesan
  • big... sword
  • implied fire theme
  • Nordic Mythology references

...I'm going to call bullshit on any claim her design wasn't at least "inspired by" Himeko. -.-

More specifically Vermilion Knight's metric fuckton of explicit Surtr references, to some degree Blood Rose's visuals and the fire affinity of both. (IIRC the references I've seen Previous Era (ie. GGZ) Himeko became the Herrscher of Flame to boot...)

^while that's explicitly the case for Tesla I'm not so sure about Einstein. IIRC some bits of backstory mentioned in the storyline she's heavily implied to be one of the original Anti-Entropy leaders (so actually really old by the time of the game) and quite possibly the Albert Einstein of this worldline.

Not like the Stigmatas didn't imply rampant genderflipping of major historical personages (and some rather more legendary ones) in the setting anyway.

So.... A diddle with the cousins is fine in the UK?

Jokes aside, teeth straightness is also based on diet so it might be just that they eat softer foods

I've seen horrified descriptions of British food written by British observers from at least the 1600s if not earlier, so it's probably the diet. :v

I read that the age of consent in Japan is 13 years old. But I believe the popular area like Tokyo is 18 years old.
