Before we begin, I'd like to clarify something.
Some of you (particularly Mad Mod and Don_East) are wondering why I list Elie and Reisha Valentine separately on my list of best looking girls on Rave Master, even though the former is the amnesia-induced alter ego of the latter.
I am aware that they share the same body. However, there are two different characters inhabiting it, and they both have distinct personalities. In retrospect, I admit that Kikyo and Kagome weren't as good an example as I had hoped. Perhaps it is more like the character D'Eon de Beaumont from Le Chevalier D'Eon--the soul of his dead sister inhabits his body while he is facing off against French zorabies, and she has more of a backbone than he does. I just find the character of Reisha Valentine to be a better one because she is a gentler and more warm-hearted character, whereas Elie is a bit of an airhead and a loose cannon who blows up [strike]casinos[/strike] arcades whenever she loses.
I reiterate that this has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO with the crappy one-liners that Bob Buchholz wrote for her early on. In her defense, she has become a more tolerable character compared to certain others who have been popping up as of late, and she is also pretty cute herself.
I DO NOT HATE ELIE.
Thank you. I hope this clears things up.
