This is the Hundred-and-eighty-sixth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Welcome back everyone. For those of you just tuning in, we're currently exploring a sky fortress under Quattro's control. And by "we", I mean Nanoha, who was blogged on two weeks ago, and Fate, who Topaz took over my duties last week.
: And yet she was as big of a pervert as you are...
...I apologize.
: Stay with us, Topaz. Vivio needs our help!
*The three continue down a long hallway and soon get to a large room. The room appears to be a "docking" room as there is a large door on the side of the room and on the opposite side is an exit. However, as they enter, the door ominously slams shut*
(via intercom): Well well well. It looks like I've caught a few rats in my maze. Perhaps you'd like to see my last soldier? I'm sure you recognize her, she's a close friend of yours, Fate.
*A tall, imposing figure emerges from the door on the opposite side of the room, followed by many of Quattro's assistant robots. The door magically shuts much like the other*
: I guess whoever is the "winner" can come and meet me. And if you even think of surrendering, I think you know what will happen...
: Fate-mama! Nanoha-mama! Please hurry!
: Don't worry Vivio, I'll come and save you!
: Be careful, we don't want to waste too much power now and not be able to defeat Quattro. Still, I also want to go full blast on the way as well.
?????: So the powerful Fate is not going to make herself a worthy challenge for me is she? Well no matter, I'll cut you to ribbons where you stand!
*The figure lunges at Fate, who quickly transforms and uses her Bardiche to deflect the stranger's sword.*
: I recognize you. Your sword skills, your device. There's only one person who it could be...
: Show yourself, Signum!
*The figure takes off her shadowy cloak, revealing that it is indeed Signum.*
: I do not mind removing that. After all, what good is an honorable battle if you do not know who you are facing?
*Signum and Fate continue to clash their weapons in stunning fashion*
Fate, if you don't want to fight, just say the word! I'll gladly summon something to help you!
: Not right now, but if I ever get overpowered I'll enjoy your back-up.
So what should I do now.
: You could do a blog on Signum as it'll help by increasing Fate's morale.
That's a great idea-How does that work exactly?
: I don't know any better than you do. You're the one writing this storyline.
That's true, and as bad as it is I'm sure that there's far worse. Far FAR worse...
: Stop being depressed over another show that's not relevant. Just concentrate on Signum! *Nanoha ever bops Topaz on the head softly to show support*
That's true. Thanks Nanoha, and let's get going because...
Note: Once again I haven't read Force and Vivid I haven't read much of. Thus, most of the information in this blog will be on the main threetwo series (Signum doesn't appear in the original series).
Head
Hair: Signum's hair is pink. As I've made it known, as a rule I don't like pink hair. Signum's however, for whatever reason, DOES appeal to me. I don't get it either, and yeah I'd probably like it more if it was darker (especially with her personality), but as it is I don't dislike it. It might be the style as girls with swords tend to look good with ponytails. Signum does usually keep her hair in a ponytail on the back of the head, though her hair does flow in battle very well. It's pretty long too, reaching about to her waist. Finally, there's some nice details in her hair I'd like to point out. While it's not obvious as it could be, she has a thin yellow ribbon in her hair that looks cute. She also has "braids" on the sides of her head from her bangs to her ponytail. The last thing I'll point out is that her bangs do make it look like she might have just woken up as they stand up in the front. Also, in StrikerS when she unisons with Agito her hair turns even more pink or salmon colored (which I don't like as much) while Reinforce's pale purple does look really good (though I'd prefer it to be darker).
Grade: A-
Eyes: Her eyes are really nice, especially her tsurime. I love fierce-looking eyes, I suppose. She does eventually calm down some later in the series, but she still has her nice "ready for action" look. Her eyes are normally a nice blue color as well, though that again changes when she unisons (they only turn lighter, though).
Grade: B
Face: As we don't see Signum as a child (like Fate or Nanoha) she doesn't have all of the cuteness they have. However, Signum's eyes make her face look fierce, and the fact that she's pretty cold means that her face looks intimidating. I like it like that though, she's a really beautiful girl for my tastes. She has "adult" appeal as opposed to Nanoha and Fate who look the same pretty much as adults. Not that there's anything wrong with looking similar (they're both very cute girls), I'm just mainly trying to explain that while they still have a bit of innocence in their big eyes and facial features Signum is always seen as an adult so it's different. She also has small features like the others, and I again love the art style.
Grade: A
*Fate and Signum continue to battle in the large room. Meanwhile...*
: Huh, I forgot to turn the robots on again, didn't I...
: N-no you didn't! They're active and a-attacking Fate-mama!
: Little girls like you shouldn't lie. Perhaps a "punishment is in order...
*Quattro throws a switch, causing Vivio's small body to be hit with electricity.*
: KYAAAAAHHHH!!!
: Good good. Feel that? That's your magical energy getting drained to power my robots. Let's see your mamas handle this!
*Back at Topaz*
Fate, watch out!
*Fate barely avoids a blast from one of Quattro's robots as they poorly shoot at her while squaring off with Signum. As they continue to destroy the robots and exchange blows with themselves, the robots continue to pour in from the room.*
: I did not expect this either, Fate. I would have preferred a fair fight, but Quattro.... Ahhh! *Signum touches her forehead with her palm in pain*
: Don't worry, I was the same way.
: Why don't you summon someone to take care of the machines then, Topaz!
That's a great idea!
*Topaz starts to summon his runes for his "ritual". However, as soon as he does that the outside door to the room opens up and starts to create a vaccuum. Topaz gets pulled towards it, but latches on a piece of conveniently-placed machinery!*
: Topaz! Don't worry, I-
*As Nanoha attempts to race over, the robots shot much more frequently at her, making her have to take evasive actions rather than press forward.*
Don't worry, I'm pretty safe. But for now, let's continue the blog!
: You just want to talk about Signum's body, and specifically her breasts, don't you...
Ehehehe...
Body
Build: Signum has a very curvy and sexy body. It's not shown off much, but when it is you can see how beautiful it is. It's hard to pin down a specific point of interest-or rather, one that I like more than he "next area", but her body is a very beautiful and mature one. Unlike Fate and Nanoha though, she doesn't have a "child" form as she's introduced at about 19. I don't mind this, but some people might. While her height and stats are not known (for sure at least, I've heard she's 168 cm and 59 kg on some sites (that's 5'6" and 130 lbs), but she seems taller than that), she does seem a lot taller than the other girls. This works though as she fits the Tall, "Dark", and beautiful type of character as well as being a good "Big sis" to the other characters. Finally, she is also a very strong girl as well, though she doesn't look muscular which I enjoy.
Grade: A
Breasts: Yep, I like Signum for her breasts mostly. Well, I like the rest of her, including her personality as I'll get to in a bit, but yeah they're big. Hayate, her master, was a very lucky girl getting a chance to sleep on her great pillows. They're perky and good-sized as well. Signum has one of my favorite chests in all of anime. They just look really nice, and if I continue to rant it'll probably make the "boob demon" (a nickname from Vita) hit me with her sword. Something that I didn't mention about Nanoha and Fate is that, while in the TV show the transformations were relatively normal, the movie gave them very obvious nipples. Of course, they're lolis so it slipped my mind (though people probably enjoyed it). It's unknown if the second movie, the one where Signum will transform, will do the same to her.
Grade: A
Clothes: One part that Signum IS weak on compared to my past two girls is that she doesn't get nearly as much offical outfits as Nanoha and Fate do. Sure she occasionally wears cute sweaters with short skirts and nice pantyhose at home with Hayate, but we usually see her in her combat form. It's very color-coded to her looks, being that it's a collared white "jacket" over a purple "bodysuit" that tends to show off her breasts. She wears a skirt that is longer in the back as well. she also has various metal ornaments around her outfit, especially her gauntlets and metal plates around her waist (I don't know their official name). She does wear swimsuits in the occasional image, but not that often. However, the best outfit for her is definitely her suit. Much like the two previous girls Signum wears a suit in StrikerS, and it's a lovely brown one with a short skirt, pantyhose, and a black NECKTIE. SO DELICIOUS!
Look at her epic and beautiful outfit!
In Force, she apparently wears a similar outfit, though it's blue and has a white coat over it.
Grade: A
*Suddenly a robot's misfire hits the machinery that Topaz was holding on to, causing him to release his grip.*
Aiiiiieeeee!!!!
: TOPAZ!
*Topaz falls out the huge open door. Propellers can be heard after a small lightshow.*
: ...Topaz.
NANOHA, LOOK OUT!
*A bullet nearly hits Nanoha in the face as she's distracted. However...*
: Phew, I actually made that shot..
*It appears that the 501st Strike Witches have been summoned by Topaz! Topaz is even being cradled by Yoshika.*
: Phew Topaz, you're heavier than you look.
Personally, I would have preferred landing in Shirley's arms... *slightly disappointed*
: Why would you... hey!
: No time for that, you two. It seems that the owner of this fortress is throwing everything at us at once!
*True to Charlotte's words, many more robots are pouring out from the inside of the ship and flanking the groups.*
: Indeed, we'd better prepare for a fight AHAHAHA!
: *Sigh* I'd rather not follow Topaz's orders and summons, but w-when Mio says it... YES Ma'am. Isn't that right members of the Strike Witches!
I have an idea, Mio.
: What is it *comes in close to hear it* AHAHAHA! What a fine idea you have. You must be a great tactician.
Surprisingly, not really...
*Mio charges Signum with her sword drawn.*
: Do you really think you can beat me like that?
*Signum uses her sword's flames to attack Mio, but her runeshield protects her until she's close. However, Mio's magic starts to fluctuate and she spins out of control.
: M-Major Sakamoto!
: COMMANDER!
*Yoshika, forgetting she's also carrying Topaz, runs toward Mio with increased power and crashes into Signum who was strafing from one of Fate's follow-up attacks. Topaz takes 30 points of damage from the landing, but the split second of the impact gives Fate just enough time to attack the mechanism on Signum's head. I falls on the floor, and thus Signum is no longer under Quattro's control.*
Well, that didn't work how I wanted, but at least you're free Signum.
: That I am. And I suppose that our match will have to wait, Fate.
: This always seems to happen, doesn't it. Alright, I await our next battle.
: I got this one too!
*Lynette fires a shot that, after richochetting against various walls lodges itself between two gears. The machine slowly smokes and explodes, ending the enemy's reinforcements. The others continue to attack the remainder of the robots, but...*
I should continue with my blog.
Mind
Personality: Signum is a mix of quite a few of my favorite archetypes. As said previously, she's a pretty cold girl (though in a good way) that slowly becomes more emotional as the series goes on. In other words, a kuudere. She's also got the personality of an Honor Blade due to her device being Laevatein being a sword, and a flaming one at that. Laevatein can also become a chain-whip or bow as necessary. She's also a Tall, Dark, and Bishojo girl (though "Dark" is more pink) meaning she's aloof but composed as well. She's even considered one of the "big sisters" among the Nanoha universe. She's a great character for my tastes personality wise. I should mention that people compare her to Lamia Loveless due to similarities in their personalities and choice in weapons as well as sharing a voice actress. I'm not someone whose watched Super Robot Wars so I can't compare though.
Signum backstory is an interesting. She's actually a knight of Ancient Belka who is attached to the Book of Darkness. She's technically an ageless Wolkenritter (what that means is pretty unknown, but know that they've been protecting the books for many years). Her master and holder of that book is Hayate Yagami, and A's storyline follows with her as the "villian" side opposing Nanoha and Fate. Fate is especially a rival for Signum as well (another knight called Vita was Nanoha's rival). However, even after being separated from the book for good, they remain close knights of Hayate even to this day. She's very defensive of her master as well. She's very powerful, but as a magical construct she tends to do poorly against antimagic.
So why the downgrade if she's so awesome? Because of Force and comas and such that I shouldn't know yet do. Boo changing characteristics!
Grade: A-
Libido: Signum really doesn't have any romantic ambitions. She could be shipped with Hayate (who she has more of a "guardian" relationship with), Erio (same, though more "educator" than guardian), or Fate (friendly rival), but most of them tend to get paired up separately. This is Signum's weakest point.
Grade: C
Age: Signum's actual age is unknown, as she's been a guardian of the Book of Darkness for many years. Even then, she's ageless so it doesn't matter. Once separated, she does age (though slowly still), and her techical age becomes 19 (due to how old she looks). Thus, she's 29 in StrikerS, 33 in Vivid and 35 in Force. As I don't really care about the latter, she's got a pretty much perfect age range.
Grade: A
Total Grades: 88
Average score: 9.8
Final Grade: A-
Because Signum, much like Nanoha and Fate, got above 85 points and isn't a meganekko she gets rewarded with a image:
Bonus Reinforce as well!
: Enough of this nonsense, Topaz.
: Indeed, we need to start rescuing Vivio.
: Nonsense, I have hundreds of traps waiting for you. You'll never make it!
: Only one thing left to do in this situation....
: ... Oh dear...
: DIVINE BUSTER!
*Nanoha attack cuts all the way through the fortress, leaving a long hole even in the hull of the fortress and exposing Quattro's hidden room*
: Fate and I will go save Vivio.
: Can we trust you two to beat up Quattro on your own?
: I'm pretty tough, as you know Fate. Also, I know that you weren't using your full power against me, so go and save Vivio.
I don't have many summons remaining, but I'll try my best.
: It looks like we'll be going as well. Our Major was wounded so we're going to see to that.
: It's unfair that their universe allows older magical girls but my magical power is slowly getting drained...
: M-Major, you shouldn't talk when you're this wounded!
: Nonsense. This is merely a flesh wound, Whahahaha!
*Nanoha and Fate fly off to save Vivio, while Topaz pulls on Signum's arm.*
