Random Saiyuki pondering

[meganbmoore]

*no, I haven't read the new volume yet, don't spoil me*

Are there any female characters in this series who are all of the following:

1)  Alive.

2) Not evil.

3) Not a hermaphrodite.

4) Not fixated on Kougaiji (Lirin: bickeringly adoring younger sister with mutual but understandable complex, Yaone:  devoted apothecary, Pippi: fangirl.)

5)  Around for more than a chapter or two.

Yes, this randomly popped into my head a little while ago and won't go away. 

(And...ahm...kinda spamming, sorry.)

It's what Kougaiji gets for being a fairly typical shounen hero. Everyone obsessing over you.

Hmm...remind me who Hwan is?

Exactly!

She's the scientist at Hotou Castle.

EDIT: I'm not sure 'fixated on Kougaiji' is entirely fair to Lirin. She loves her brother and she does go the extra mile to protect him, but he does the same for her. And there's also food. Lirin/food OTP.

Like a lot of manga siblings, Kougaiji and Lirin both seem more than normally fixated on each other (and I think him even more than her) but for pretty understandable reasons.

Yeah, the rest of the family's not winning any prizes.
