Re: ~<♦>~ *The Larxene FanClub* ~<♦>~
ZOMG, MelodiusNymph!! =D
I can't help but see Larxene as someone that used to be naive and a bit innocent even, since it shows even through her cold and bitchy attitude. She is capable of trust and seems to not only resent betrayal to an extreme on a personal level, but also seek it out. She was the one that just about jumped at the notion Axel was part of her and Marluxia's plot without giving it so much as a second thought why he knew about it without her knowing about it from Marluxia as well, or what not.
She even seemed remotely compassionate towards Namine in a sense. While it was undeniably for their own goal's good, she did listen to the girl rant for a good while, and gave better justification for Namine to "not mess it up" than just "do it or we'll kill you". It was "do it - and you'll be Somebody".
It was more than just their plans going to ruin that got Larxene to beat her up, I think - it was it being personal.
Did I say yet how much I love CoM/Re:CoM and its characters? No? I do.
This.
Th extent of how much I love you for this will be indescribable considering that it hits every point of my obsessive Larxene filled heart 8D.
And I'm glad someone also shares the view that Larxene was not, technically, as rash and cruel to Naminé as she was to others, and even seems to have conversations with the girl at times. In fact, Larxene to me, appeared to be genuinely confused as to why Naminé wouldn't want to get Sora, despite the selfish means considering the good that will come out of it in the long run for her, which fits into this enclosed naivete yuo described. She did the same thing when Sora insisted on rescuing Naminé even with his memories being fake, and his words, which she degraded [though I did think, by her facial expressions, that she let it go in the end, or was rather....what's the word...?]. It seems she's incapable of understanding their intentions, and feelings, because maybe she was never given it by anybody else to her in such a way, or has not had experience enough to get what is it that drives them [though that's more theory than anything. Who knows]. I doubt she also ever laid a hand on Naminé until the end, where as you said, it was driven by something incredibly negative. Heh. Maybe she did enjoy the female company for a while xD. After all, in the translations, she was looking for people to talk to. Don't know what she thought on Xion.
I would not mention anything on the Axel part considering I always got the feeling she was
fond of him [whether or not it was reciprocated], which turns into Larxel, which then makes this reply even longer ^^;. And it's not the point xD.
Overall, before I rant any further, that would be it ^^.
I definitely think that if I had a character like Larxene, I would really be interested in her peronality and history and expand it more than she actually had in KH as well. There can be many things to explore [and she's FUN to write for xDD]. I feel it was wasted potential, considering who we
do have, Naminé being more built up, thankfully.
Meh. All Lar-Lar probably needs is just some good ol' TLC.
