You ask me a question about my characters, I answer and ask you one about yours in return, we keep going in that pattern until one of us can't think of any questions anymore, etc.

As a note regarding Noriko, especially with her behavior. If anyone notices she tends to throw money at people rather friviously as if it will solve their problems and tends to set up people on blind dates?

Reminder: She's basically a 16 year old girl still. Teenage girls with access to a platinum credit card and friends they want help. Well. They're gonna wanna help their friends. Noriko thus considers tossing money at friends to be a sign of nice-ness and is upset when people don't let her buy a lot of things for them or make their lives easier. She can't grasp the desire for effort a lot of the time, especially when so many of her friends have may-fly lifespans compared to her.

So. Yeah.

Ai, if she remains human is going to fairly sexual repressed and hesitant to physical touch. After a half decade being trapped in the body of a Succubus and given a chance to not be like that, she well. Is running away from being sexy. At all. She'd much rather be frumpy.

Even if she's returned to being a succubus, she's going to be extremely bitter. Yuri split her when she got used to her life being like this, and having the choice, she'd rather never be a demon again.

Up until the Witches, Onee had actually become a mostly tolerable person. But the witches constantly harassing her and using her as a squeeze toy pretty much made her a bitter bitch again.

As well, she blames her recent misfortune pretty much on Noriko. Noriko's stupidity has essentially ruined her life. And god only knows what would happen if she were allowed to stew for a long time on it...

As a note here, Suzume doesn't have the mind of the Suzume of her universe. Her mind and personality was crushed by the Suzume from Shikou's original timeline who basically crossed time-space to get to her Shikou.

Also, for some reason, I see Suzume being more... childish is a word I'd use. Into things like wrestling. Playing detective. Just being more... juvenile. It could be a function the HiME festival stole most of her youth and innocence so to speak and she's making up for it. But it could also be how she handles her immortality: "I don't need to grow up so quickly".

Mind you this could cause her to be stuck as an immature brat.

As a note on Demon Ai, she's what I'd describe as a shallow charicature of Ai. With little to no personality to draw from, the demon fragments that escaped from Yuri's camera, well. Besides what of Ai that hanged on, she's essentially all the banal and shallow assumptions would make of Ai. She's much looser, more amoral, far less guilty about her nature.

She also lacks a bunch of Ai's more deeper details. She doesn't like birds, Human Ai probably enjoys softer more relaxing music while her Demon counterpart prefers more bombastic and organ-y music. Her cooking is also spicier than Ai's. ... And probably doesn't dislike Yuri as much as Human Ai would.

Ironically, she might of developed a more extensively separate personality from Ai if Yuri wasn't a cowardly little weasel.

Also, as a note, Noriko is essentially permanently stuck in the mindset of a 16 year old girl. No matter what you do, she isn't going to mature emotionally. She can learn and study and write, but she's still ultimately always going to be working from a stuck frame of a teenage girl.

If she tries to be an adult, she's going to act more in the way she'd an expect an adult woman to be from her teenage view point.

Ultimately, I'm going to have to say that Noriko's situation is essentially because she's cut and paste data in Gren's brain. When Jin and the gang shattered Gren Maju Da Eiza, essentially all the data left in the suit of armor, or rather got back into it. Was. Noriko.

Which brings up an important question. Is Noriko actually Noriko? Or is she Gren thinking she's Noriko?

As far as the contract goes, Noriko's far more benevolent with regards to the Samasus. As Linka noted, Noriko pretty much gives the Samasus extensive free reign unlike the Fiend. In fact unlike the Fiend, she heavily prefers most of the Samasus make their own choices and have their own quirks and personalities.

One could construe Noriko's ultimately doing this as a favor since a lot of important people in her life are Samasus. Shikou is a brother figure to her despite issues. Souha is a very close friend and spouse. Suguru is a friend. Etc.
