Author's Commentary #555:
Time to talk about Chapter 555: You're not ready yet.
And the mysterious bald woman becomes even more mysterious with this chapter. Now it's finally time for the bios for the Raven sisters and the other characters.
インガリリ・マウル (Ingalili Mawr) is how Ingalili's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is June 4th. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
ダニカ・アクソン (Danica Axon) is how Danica's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is January 9th. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
ポリーナ・ボッキ (Polina Bocchi) is how Polina's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is December 19th, which is the day Bocchi the Rock was first published.
Her favorite piece is the pawn.
ジョーダン・マクマギー (Jordan McMaggie) is how Jordan's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is July 2nd. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
フェムケ・レイヴン (Femke Raven) is how Femke's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is November 11th, which she shares with Sitri Smart from Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe Is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
トリニティ・レイヴン (Trinity Raven) is how Trinity's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is January 27th, which is the day Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe Is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party first began publication.
Her favorite piece is the king.
The reason I decided to hold off on their bios was because originally, I was going to have Femke secretly be good at chess despite the claim she never played before. However, I reversed course with the game, but still wove it into the story well.
Speaking of the game, as mentioned before, it was originally going to be more high-tier, but I felt I could get away with having Femke play like a beginner here. All I'll say is that the mysterious woman knows how to play and reminds us of a certain character.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
