Pairing 1: Catshipping (Cathy | Cathy Kathrine/Rio Kamishiro | Rio Kastle)

Propaganda: Since Rio dislikes cats, she must overcome that to bond and fall in love with Cathy so I love the potential in character development even if its reatively low stakes | A lot of choices made with Rio's character still bother me immensely. But then I gloated when I remember she got revealed to have a fear of cats. I started picturing the encounters between her and Cathy, and it's been wholly endearing. Speaking of which, Cathy is my favourite character, and I add a lot of extensions to her character, more than those who are part of the main cast. Zexal falls into the shounen/boys media bracket where female characters are given one extremely quirky trait to make them stand out, and typically nothing else. But I don't obey how somewhat dismissible they can become, and give Cathy, Pip, and other gonzo female characters the most thought...and so I have started thinking Rio would be a perfect maiden... who just needs to get a bit used to felines. Shock therapy with Rio and Cathy!

Pairing 2: Birdshipping (Mizael/Kotori Mizuki |Tori Meadows)

Propaganda: They’re both bitches (positively) and I think they’d work well together as a relationship, not just romantically. I am also incredibly charmed by the idea of Kotori getting with an alien since she has little to do with the barian and astral wars. Just the idea of Kotori, a human girl with little to do with barian stuff, helping Mizael re-adjust to society and eventually them getting to know each other better tickles me in a very funny way.
