Author's Commentary #128:
Time to talk about Chapter 128: Tense atmosphere.
In case it wasn't obvious, Iori is more of an anti-hero than hero. While she might have stopped killing, her psychopathic mind remains intact. It's possible she might actually be one of the smartest characters in the series, but that remains to be seen. Now let's talk about some of the other SPCMs. First up is Sherbert.
ミリラニ・"シャーバート"・パイナ (Mililani "Sherbert" Paina) is how Sherbert's name is spelled in katakana. She hails from Hawaii and has been making video content for a few years now. Her last name is actually Hawaiian for "pineapple". Sherbert is actually her stage name, and the reason she chose it was because she really likes eating rainbow sherbet ice cream.
Her birthday is August 21st, which is the day Hawaii became a US state.
Her favorite piece is the knight, mainly because she likes it's wild movements.
While she claims to be a "wholesome" content creator, she used to do far more unwholesome things like surfing down an erupting volcano topless. Now on to Katie.
ケイティ・ノックス (Katie Knox) is how Katie's name is written in katakana. She was originally intended to just be a pure chatterbox, but at the last minute, I decided to make her more like Yosuke Hirata from Clasroom of the elite.
Her birthday is September 1st which she shares with Yosuke Hirata from Classroom of the elite.
Her favorite piece is the knight, mainly because she likes distracting her mind thinking about how many different places it can move to.
Finally, there's Sandy Shores. サンディ・ショアズ (Sandy Shores) is how her name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is June 21st, which is one of the dates the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere can fall on.
Her favorite piece is the pawn, mainly because there's so many of them. Sandy is often the chill and cool member of the American SPCMs. She doesn't get mad a lot, though that doesn't mean she can't get mad.
And with that, that's the bios for all the American SPCMs. They may not have as much of a focus in this as their Japanese counterparts did in Season 3, but they still will have long-term roles in the grander story.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
