Line 6:
Oh, and her name is [[Unfortunate Names|Anal]]. Anal the Angel, in full.
Anal the Angel spends most of her own story [[Ill Girl|unconscious or incapacitated in some way]], and her presence is guaranteed to stop the plot dead in its tracks as the rest of the cast [[Sympathetic Sue|flocks attentively]] around her weeping [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished|(but still lovely!)]] form -- even in the middle of a fight scene. The story's main plot is amusingly hard to follow, being fraught with forgotten subplots, character confusion, massive timeskips (hours to weeks) whenever the OC couldn't take the spotlight, and interludes of Anal and her friends going shopping or gossiping about the Bishonen heroes they like. Early allusions to a possible backstory and antagonist gradually peter out, in favour of scene after scene wherein the game's original [[Badass Crew]] cast stands around admiring Anal's wonderfulness, helping her to develop her [[New Powers
The story is most notorious for the moment when, not content with her OC's personal tragedy quotient, the author blatantly plagiarized one of the more famous and tragic scenes from Crisis Core, {{spoiler|Zack's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] death on the cliffs outside Midgar}}, making it about Anal and her brother [[Star Wars|Anakin]], instead.
Line 27:
** "Hojo look at him with angry in his black and coldness eyes."
** "Few mints later." (used every time the author skips past an action sequence to the bloody aftermath)
* [[Spell My Name
* [[The Chosen One]]: Though what she's chosen for, we never know.
* [[Unintentionally Sympathetic]]: In the original game, [[Evil Genius]] Hojo is reviled because he's profoundly, insanely evil and creepy. In the fanfic, the author fails to show the evil or creepiness, but keeps the hatred, making Hojo a [[Designated Monkey]] or [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]].
* [[Wanton Cruelty to
* [[What Happened to
** Anal's alter-ago is also never explained or heard from again. Was she a [[Starfish Character]]? A [[Double Consciousness]]? [[Split Personality]]? Was Anal just hearing voices? The world may never know.
