Climbing the ladder to greatness:

Athanasia from 'Who Made me a Princess?' is a wonderful fictional character.  She's beautiful, graceful, kind and brave.  She's a blonde-haired blue-eyed princess.  She wears amazing dresses.  She can even use magic.  She's a mesmerizing figure, especially because the art quality of this anime (not really an anime because it's made by China, but whatever) is insanely higher than any other tv series has ever attempted.  Athanasia is indescribably beautiful, but so are her surroundings, her clothes, her furniture, her gardens, the water, the flowers, the fireworks, everything, everything is so very beautiful.  The people around her, like Felix, Lucas, Ijikial, Janette and her father are all good looking too.

'Who made me a Princess?' will likely enter my top anime rankings, even though technically it isn't an anime, based almost entirely on the quality of its art.  The plot hardly even matters.  You could watch this show on mute.  But for now it can at least enter my silver 63.  Alongside Sana from Tenshin Ranman, another blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty, who also enters my silver 63 today.  And Anju from Limelight Lemonade Jam, who also enters my silver 63 today.  Anju has black hair with purple highlights, suitable to a rocker.  It isn't blonde-and-blue but it's also beautiful.  I also like her friendly and sincere personality.

Astrid and Ilyana, minor side characters from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, a game I don't even care about that much, were cut to make room.  As was Citrinne from Fire Emblem Engage, also quite the side character though from a better game.  The wonderful playlist also adjusted its songs to the new reality.  The wonderful playlist now sports 1100 5-star songs, 223 4-star songs and 101 3-star songs.  The song quality continues to rise.

Meanwhile, in Heaven Burns Red they're offering a good deal -- for $30 you can get two SS Memorias of your choice, only it has to be among your top 10 candidates, so you can't automatically get the SS Memorias you're aiming for most.  As a result I yet again failed to get base Megumi, but I did get base Akari and samurai Inori (which gets her to 2.5 limit breaks.  My next protean shards will be devoted to getting that number to 3, which will unlock her special ability.)  So money well spent.

The game also gave me a free 10-roll ticket which netted me two SS Memorias -- base Kozue, who I've been desiring for a long time, and waitress Erika, which puts her up to limit break level 1.

My free quartz also did a good job, netting me bunny Tsukasa and base Mion (who is now up to level 2 limit break.)  Mion might eventually become useful in a fight, since healers are always in high demand.  Bunny Tsukasa I just wanted because she's hot.  Mission accomplished!
