Jones<->Jeanne (Note: Jones="Son of John", Jeanne=[[Distaff Counterpart|John]]). Seems perfect for a Medium between the Court and the Wood, but for some reason [[No Transhumanism Allowed|can't be]], or ''[[Notice This|isn't impartial enough]]''. Has physical similarities to Jeanne. Can deflect swords with her face (or at the very least, she can deflect swords with her face [[Exact Words|indoors]][http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=377\]). And, interestingly, she was struck by Eglamore's sword in a mirror of where Jeanne cut Antimony, though I'm not sure what that means, if anything (and if it's not just subtle [[Inverted Trope|hind]][[Foreshadowing|shadowing]]). I thought for sure that this was/would have been here already.
== Jones is setting herself up to turn a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech ''back'' onto Antimony. ==
Jones is deliberately putting others in harm's way in order to teach Carver a lesson. When things [[It Got Worse|get worse]], Antimony will ''try'' [[What the Hell, Hero?|calling her out over what happened]] -- and Jones will calmly turn all those accusations back on Antimony, outlining how Annie's [[Adults Are Useless|distrust of authority]] made the situation worse. After all, Antimony has been withholding information and acting on her own -- how were Jones and the others supposed to know the very facts she ''kept'' from them? They don't have a full picture of how dangerous Jack is, or what he's up to, or how Zimmy factors in... And while Annie has a clearer view of the whole picture, she hasn't been ''sharing'' that information. Sort of a [[Right Hand Versus Left Hand]] scenario, presuming both sides want the same thing.
...Whether or not this makes an immediate ''positive'' impression on Antimony's behavior is a crapshoot. Antimony may very well [[Completely Missing the Point|take this as further proof that]] [[Adults Are Useless|she can't work with the staff]], as they're willing to let others be hurt or worse just to "teach her a lesson". And given what she knows of the Court's past...

Since the symbol has been showing up everywhere from the beginning, it's got to be of some significance. Traditionally in mythology, lead has [[Anti

Line 446:
Similarly, this explains why the ghost with the sword only managed to [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=143 nick Antimony's face]; Antimony's natural medium-ness repelled her unreality. If you look on the previous page, the arc the sword travels between the last frame there and the first frame of the link involves going through about half of Antimony's head; this would explain why she wasn't scalped. The mere fact that the ghost managed to wound Antimony is a testament to the strength of its unreality; after all, when she was dealing [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=354 with the gecko] as a child, Antimony could easily repel its fires. The sword-ghost's wound disappears when outside of the ghost's strongly unreal influence, as Antimony's natural medium-ness asserts itself. Notice, however, that the wound re-appears [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=200 just before] the rain washes Zimmy's horrors away, when (due to the pacing of the comic) it seems that there is a large amount of tension in the air, magical or otherwise.
* Alternately, Zimmy's illusions are different from those in Chapter 15. In Ch 15, Annie acted as latent [[Anti
** This has given me the idea that Zimmy might be an ''anti-Medium'', who instead of asserting reality, inflicts unreality into the area, normally in the form of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] and other horrors.
** Also, by extension, this implies that Gamma may have some aptitude as a potential Medium, though her inability to speak English and her continuing presence near Zimmy may cause Court officials to either discount her as a candidate or prefer that she remain near Zimmy as a safeguard.
Line 556:
A) Surma and Annie are decedents of [[The Phoenix|a phoenix]] who left the Woods and became human (possibly Surma herself), hence Annie's [[Wreathed in Flames|literal]] [[Fiery Redhead]]edness. The phoenix's regeneration powers were warped when she/it became human, so instead of the "parent" returning to the egg and becoming a "child", the parent's life is passed to the child.
B) Surma and Annie are descendents of ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|The]]'' [[X-Men (Animation)|Phoenix]], and the Blinker Stone is a tiny Encron Chrystal. Annie has touched the moon, and soon she will [[What the Hell, Hero?|eat the sun.]]
* Partial confirmation: Annie's not completely human, and the red hair/fire powers seems to be pointing to "phoenix". [[Genre Savvy|Nah, now it's too obvious]] and it'll turn out her dad's a [[Kappa]] or something less flashy than a phoenix. ...What? Anthony Carver is a surgeon and kappas are known for being bone-setters and purveyors of medicine and medical knowledge.
Line 640:
== Before Annie got to the Court, Kat's only friend was [[Count Your Sheep|an imaginary sheep]]. ==
[http://countyoursheep.keenspot.com/d/20030905.html Note the proper methodology]. [[For Science!]]!
== Kat will not be Annie's friend again until... ==
Line 867:
== Once the Jeanne log is over, Annie will assume she knows enough to sucessfully get her to the other side. ==
Due to something about the [[Kudzu Plot]] she overlooked, she will either fail horribly, or [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|succeed just to make the situation worse.]]
* Jossed for now. While it depressed her for a while, Annie shows no signs of doing such a thing. However, we might want to keep an eye on Kat...
Line 992:
The robots are wonders and the inhabitants of the woods are manes.

Annie is a developing Stand user and somehow related to the Joestars. Jones is a Pillar (Wo)Man who achieved "Ultimate Lifeform" status (which is why she can be in daylight), except she's not evil like Cars. Ether is just a different way of saying "the Ripple". The Blinker Stones are related to the Red Stone of Asia. Eglamore and the previous Dragonslayers are Ripple Warriors.
