[edit] Lucy's nonviolence towards Kurama

Both when she passes him down the hall in the beginning, and when she is smacked by him after hurting Nana, she does not attack or retaliate, despite the fact that he has taken part in experimentations on Diclonius children. Why? (the article doesn't say)--Dch111 18:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit: Already answered in main article discussion. --Dch111 01:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

It's one of those "I won't kill you, that would be too good for you, I'll let you live so I can make you suffer" things. --Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici 02:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Justification of my edits

I've been bold and done a major edit on this article:

Kouta is indeed Kouta and not Kōta, the characters of his name do not contain a long "ō" which is indicated by "ー". Kouta's name is actually broken up like this: コ(ko)ウ(u)タ(ta).
I changed the seiyu, voice actor format. We've had this discussion before at the wikiproject. If anyone needs me to repeat myself as to why I format the way I do, just ask.
I made misc edits to the prose. Those should be pretty obvious.

[edit] Should Lucy get her own page?

If a page was made for Lucy(based on both the anime and manga), could there be enough information for a page? I've only skimmed the manga, so I don't really know. Nemu 20:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

There's no need to split her into her own article since it works to have her where she is already. -- (十八|talk) 22:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

It just seems as the main charater, that she could use her own page. With all three personalities (at least I think there is a third one in the manga), and all her other things, it could be a nice looking article. Nemu 22:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Be that as it may, for right now her profile simply does not have enough content to create such an article as it is unfeasible to remove her from the characters list. -- (十八|talk) 23:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, no, the article would be much larger. That would just the base. The current information in this article would stay. There would just be a "Main article: Lucy (Elfen Lied)" thing above it. Nemu 23:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

But where would all this new information come from in the first place and not only that, but adding all of this information may end up being no more than fancruft in the eyes of Wikipedians. Also, I would have to say that it'd be a bit biased only to give Lucy her own article in that if you were so inclinded to do it for her, you should do it for the rest as well or not at all. -- (十八|talk) 00:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

It would be a work in progress that would hopefully have other editors helping. I would get the base information needed from chapter summaries (unless it's finaly been scanlated). It would be the base information for a fictional character (Apperance, abilities, background, personalities, brief summary of plot in the anime/manga, ect...). It wouldn't be baised, she is the main character along with Kouta. He and the minor characters don't really have enough information to have an article. There are many main characters with pages while the minor ones stay on the character page. Nemu 00:10, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I could help with the getting information. It would be great to see an Elfen Lied charter get a independent page. It would have to be unbiased as you suggested, since with Elfen Lied, people will tend to be biased. User:John Ryan

[edit] Nana's everyday life

Should Dan kim's popular "nana's everyday life" get a blurb within nana's section? it's really the biggest reason she has a fan following. User:Hentai_Jeff

While I don't know what that is, if you believe it to be important enough for inclusion then Be Bold and go ahead.--(十八|talk) 13:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
