AFTERWORD
First off, I’d like to thank everyone who’s read the story. I had
a lot of fun writing it, and I hope that those who read it liked it.
Thank you to everyone who sent comments. Although you probably didn’t
think it, but little comments you casually remarked on brought new parts
of the story to life (an off comment like ‘I thought Yoji was going to
end up with Aya instead of this new guy!’ sparked the whole YojixAya
thing).
And for those of you who liked Seth and Ravi. I’m glad that my
original characters, created only for that moment and no other, appealed
to people. Seth was created to be an annoyance to Yoji with his
aggressive come-on’s, but he wouldn’t let me write him out. He planted
the statue in my mind, and then the kiss. And after the kiss, he stuck
like glue. He wouldn’t let go, and I couldn’t write him out. Ravi was
meant to have a one time only scene. But then fans wondered what Ravi
would do in the future, so I had no choice but to write the lil sucker
back in. And since two appearances wasn’t enough, he came back for an
encore to only be bested by Ken.
This is sounding silly, I know, but I’d like to thank all the
jrock and jpop bands that got me through this. I create characters to
music, and music is very important to me, and I listened to a *lot* of
music during this (hundreds of hours). L’Arc en Ciel, The Yellow Monkey,
Spitz, Shena Ringo, Shinohara Tomoe to name a few, and of course, Weiss
Kreuz (and Koyasu’s Water album ^_-).
And I can’t forget my beta readers!! When I was feeling unsure of
a part, I’d just send it off to them, and they’d answer me truthfully
with comments about the part, and helpful comments on how to revise it.
NightMajik was my main beta reader, and Lily-dono always offered
wonderful comments on every part. Her wondering comments inspired a lot
of descriptions and scenes. And of course, I guess I could thank my best
friend Akane, although she did go MIA somewhere in the middle of the
series.
And once again, to the people who read this. It seems so
overwhelming now that I look at it, and to know that people stuck by and
kept reading, and actually liked what I was writing! I’ve never been too
confident in my writing, but all the comments and praise and helpful
comments really helped boost my confidence in this series. Can I be
cheesy and say this was for the fans? ^_^

Okay, so I know I never fully described some of my characters.
*Cringe* And so, here are complete character descriptions for my three
original characters: Ravi, Cordelia, and Seth.
Ravi: A young man around the age 18. Short brown hair, brilliant green
eyes. Wears a red vest over a light blue linen shirt. Pants are brown
leather, longer pantaloons, ending several inches above his ankles,
therefore showing his bare lower calf and ankles. Wears low-cut leather
shoes.
Cordelia: A young woman around the age of 18-19 years old. Wavy, dark
brown hair. Cut in a drastic layering. Hair around face is chin length,
curling around her cheeks. Hair down back is straighter and reaches
waist. Tall, can almost look Aya in the eye. Green eyes, pale skin.
Dress is typical barmaid – puffy sleeves, low cut blouse with
jumper-type skirt and shoulder straps. Skirt is short and puffed out.
Wears ankle high, soft leather boots.
Seth: A young boy around the age of 20. Black hair, short yet slightly
longer in the front. Bangs fall into eyes a lot. Dark brown eyes, which
change when emotion changes. Wears fancy, crisp white shirts, navy blue
vest and pantaloons when serving Lady Aithne. Dun colored tunic and
pants when out in town on his own time. Head comes up a little higher
than Yoji’s shoulder. Body is slim yet muscled.
The reason I included this is because I know I don’t always
describe people well, or I forget to add certain characteristics because
it was uncalled for at the time (and then I forget to add them in
later). This is also in case any artists wish to draw pictures of them
and want a better description ^_- (hint hint)
Again, thank you for reading WeiB Phantasie. I hope you enjoyed it
a lot. If you did, why not tell me? I always appreciate comments ^_^
Till next time!
