Fortunately, I’ve never been taken with any of the Type-moon properties, so I’m fine in that aspect. However, the Nanoha series has already gotten me over 10k worth of figures in pre-order. And god knows what could happen if they made figures of everyone from Chaos;Head (a pretty damn good game, by the way).

@ffviiknight: Hmm, I rather like the sword and bare feet. Contradictory symbolism – the bare feet suggest intimacy, while the long weapon implies distance.

Then again, this also applies to your suggestion (with the short knife standing for intimacy and the shoes representing distance).

I’m making all of this rubbish up, of course. We can always lean back and enjoy this beatific vision just as it is. (^_^)

I’m also planning to get her after seeing it for the first time at Shin’s blog. So much charm and grace… But maybe a knife instead of the sword and shoes would make it better :p
