Author's Commentary #214:
Time to talk about Chapter 214: Upset result.
The results have been announced, and Kuon has not made the team. As for how exactly that came to be, it's clear Mimoko beat her, but the full story will have to wait until the next chapter. What won't have to wait is the bios for the new characters starting off with Agatha Broadstone.
アガサ・ブロードストーン (Agatha Broadstone) is how her name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is October 19th. I chose the date at random, but the month was intentional, due to October being the month of Halloween.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
Agatha is the second daughter of Mother Salem, and is constantly hatching schemes to try and usurp her as head of the Broadstone family. She actually doesn't care much about Carol, but will use her defection as a way to try and bring down Mother Salem.
マザー・セーラム (Mother Salem) is how Mother Salem's name is spelled in katakana. Her real name has long since been forgotten to the passage of time, though it's rumored she was born in the 1600s and lived through the Salem witch trials, from which her name is based off of. She does actually write "Mother Salem" on official documentation, even though she herself remembers her real name.
Her birthday is February 25th. This is reportedly the date the Salem witch trial reportedly began.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
サブリナ・ブロードストーン (Sabrina Broadstone) is how Sabrina's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is October 24th. I chose the date at random, but the month was intentional, due to October being the month of Halloween.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
エレノラ・ブロードストーン (Elenora Broadstone) is how Elenora's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is November 7th. I chose this date at random so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.
Her favorite piece is the knight.
While the tournament may be wrapping up, the season is still far from over. The next chapter will showcase the final decisive match from the tournament, and then the climax of the season.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
