FE Fest, Round Two / New Butterfly Pic

[mark_asphodel]

 Whoever did that prompt on fe_fest for "Fin/Lachesis, futuristic dystopia AU" made my day, that's for sure.

Raphi mentioned the new FE13 art released today (another DLC card).

Wow, Butterfly.  Those are some dainty little ankles.  And the angle of your hips gives you the look of a jaunty schoolgirl in uniform.

Again, I'm not making any predictions about Butterfly's identity and gender, but... ah...

Yeah.  Nice ankles.

Pretty feminine grasp on the sword, too, just impressionistically speaking. Nice nails, too.

Genderbend notwithstanding, do you suppose Marth had a secret younger sister? Or perhaps this is the Latest Reincarnation of Elice.

I thought so at first glance, though when I tried to analyze it, I couldn't place it.

The overall clothing style seems more "modern"-- I'm guessing a descendant.

I feel like I've seen that sword pose before... somewhere...

I thought of this (http://www.serenesforest.net/media/tcg/5/fe5-001l.jpg) but it's not actually the same. I just remembered the raised elbow and downward-pointing sword.

FE Fest. *cracks knuckles* The Force shall be strong with me (this time)!

Saw someone on tumblr float the idea that it was Caeda, even.

I don't think that's at all realistic, but like a lot of these theories, I find the idea itself interesting.

Like, maybe he died and she cut her hair and took his place? Awesome. That's our girl!

I sincerely doubt she can access his locked weapon, though.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is Eliwood's stance on the FE7 cover (http://serenesforest.net/img/top7.png), but that's not quite as...awkward-looking a stance as this is.

I'd definitely say either a girl or a younger boy for Mask☆DeMarth (and my vote's for "descendant")

Honestly, if you took that body from the neck down, and presented it to a focus group, how many of them would even peg it as a boy?

Also, if Butterfly is indeed giving some fans Caeda vibes, well... if we're looking at a descendant, that'd be entirely fitting. And if it's a girl trying to pass as a boy, the voice acting is gonna be interesting!

I tracked down this on the artist's (confirmed, official) DA, from his No More Heroes work. Maybe you'd seen that before?

[amielleon]

... No. o_o

I actually feel like I've seen it in an FE-ish context. Probably from a female sword-user. Maybe our dear friend Wayu.

[raphiael]

s-so I'm not the only one who found that really awkward and uncomfortable looking? Even barring the uh special place in my heart for darling Wayu?
