The Reason Why/Characters

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...

"Allura: Th-the casket, it....I saw it myself.... it was g---glass.......she stared right through me............"
 * Het Is Ew: For her parents, at least — one is Naida, while the other is Nanami. The mere fact that she mentions her parents causes Allura to nearly collapse.


 * Moe
 * Only Sane Girl: She approaches the whole situation very calmly.

Allura McCoy
An old woman with a troubled past and a vendetta to settle. She's uncomfortable with keeping Nadimia with her, especially due to Chrissie.

""...and I am most certainly too old for school.""
 * Alternative Character Interpretation: She's the Princess Allura, albeit greatly changed from those days long ago. For one thing (as mentioned in "Darkness"),.
 * Christmas Cake: To an extent.
 * Fan Nickname: The author refers to "his" Allura as "New Allura".
 * 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 people think Allura thinks, since she seems unable to pull 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.


 * 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. 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 highly-unusual torture gave her said personality, although the change wasn't made clear until she was rescued after thirty-five years of it), she . 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.
 * 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 "Home", 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: Turned Up to Eleven.
 * I'm A Slut!: She will talk innocently and sweetly about butterflies, then (in the same voice!) ask someone a really dirty question. And she has no reservations about talking that way.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Chrissie adds up her age in bunches during "Home", arriving at 982. She then.
 * Too Kinky to Torture: To the point where Allura can't administer motherly punishments because Chrissie likes it.
 * 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 "Reasons", but in "Home" 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.

Richard Dawkins
A guard who works for the Boss, appearing in "Storm". He and Allura seem to know each other.
