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.)

Don't I wish.

You have no idea how annoyed/disappointed I was about that.

Given the fact that it's shounen and the cast size, it's actually a fairly respectable ratio for the genre. (Which is not to say that a more equal ratio for the genre as a whole isn't desirable.)

Still, Pippi cvould have been a Dokugaku fangirl or something...

It's not so much the ratio as the characteristics observable within the ratio that get me.

It is the reason I always wished she'd done more with Bus Gamer.
