Tabby

Which is REALLY great, because Atoli, as the Mirage of Deceit, looks just like Shino and gets compared to her, this similarity being the only reason for Haseo's friendship with her initially, but he's looking for things that aren't really there just like he looked for love with Shino that wasn't really there. Atoli acts nothing like Shino and probably has real feelings for Haseo, but he's completely blind to this because he's head over heels for a girl who doesn't really love him back.

It's WONDERFUL.

Wow - brilliant. Though, I think it's a little unclear as to exactly what the real life relationship between Shino and Ovan really is. Ovan is pretty distant, even towards Shino, and speaks very ambiguously. Poor Haseo, though... now that I think about it, couldn't Shino be letting out her feelings for Ovan on Haseo... when her feelings aren't returned as well? D: Do you guys think Ovan likes Shino back?

He probably does, since they're very close IRL to the point where Ovan visits her in the hospital allegedly every week.

I'm not sure if this has been proven flase, but did somebody say Ovan could be Shino's brother in real life? I don't know because that was said long ago, but maybe that the relationship between Ovan and Shino. If not then at least I know.

No. Ovan and Shino met for the first time online, thanks to Phyllo introducing the two of them. They're not related.

Ovan must be very special to Shino. The things she said in 13 prove that. Her friends are books. XD And she must have been having problems identifying with herself IRL, then thanks to Ovan, she found a place to exist in: TW.

My theory is:

Tabby = Sakuba

They both have the same seiyuus and are shizos...ironic?
It's like with Pai/Yata - Ender/Naobi

Sakuba likes Haseo in the game...but acts very strange and shizo.
It's the same with Tabby. Maybe Tabby just created another Char so that she could be close with Haseo again.

Sakubo is played by two people; Bo, the introverted younger brother who likes Haseo, and Saku, the extrovert older sister who hates Haseo.

Tabby only appears to be played by one character and neither Saku nor Bo express any recognition of Haseo in GU, so that seems unlikely.

bo is a guy?

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Sun Jul 02, 2006 1:01 pm

Indeed, Bo is of the male gender.

And neither Tabby or Sakubo are Schitzophrenic >_>

Yeah I agree! I was dissapointed when I found out Tsukasa was a girl because I was hoping for Subaru and Tsukasa to get together. But oh well... xD

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 8:12 pm

eah I agree! I was dissapointed when I found out Tsukasa was a girl because I was hoping for Subaru and Tsukasa to get together.

Erm...they DID get together.

That's about the most anti-homosexual statement I've seen here. ¬_¬

"So Tsukasa and Subaru loved each other, shame that he's actually a girl because .hack would never suggest something so unethical."

Try to keep any hints towards homophobia out of your statement.

Tabby is a bit unclear. Sometimes she seems like she has a crush on Haseo, and others it seems like she views him as a rival for Shino's attention. Most of her feelings for Sakisaka seemed to be false at least, she was only using him as a way to pass time, rather then as a person to start an actual close friendship with.

Personally, I doubt that even she's aware of what her feelings truely are. She's conflicted. She's dealing with the loss of almost all of her online friends... Ovan vanished, Sakisaka quit, and Shino was data drained. Haseo, one of the few ties she has left is busy dealing with his own grief, and has no time to help her sort out her emotions. She's quite literally at her wits end, and has no idea where to turn next.

Honestly, she's very vulerable right now, especially from what we've seen of her personality. She's going to latch onto the first person that shows an interest in her right now. Which could lead to some interesting situations later down the road, depending on who, or what that person is.

Why do I get the sneaky suspicion that she's gonna get involved with Kuhn?

CRtwenty · Post by **CRtwenty** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 8:33 am

Kuhn would be a fairly positive influence at least.

But if she gets involved with Kestrel, there will be trouble.

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 12:05 pm

I wonder if Tabby has any friends in the real world, and the World is an escape to try and develop social skills? That would explain her character model a lot. Ahem.

Post by **Kuukai** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 1:37 pm

Wait, I'm behind... is Kuhn working for Kestrel or for Canard right now? Because "the old Kuhn" might be a very negative influence...

Either way is plausible, he is a ladies man after all right?
