- Actually, that is a micro-mini hardsuit. It was designed by a
- collaborative team from both Iczer-Spandex Inc. and Assembled
- Inserts Ltd.

-
- Yes, Sylia has two genetically engineered miniature Pumas. One
- is named Anna and one is named (Y)Uni. There is, however, _NO_
- truth to the rumor that Sylia has made Hardsuits for them. This
- started when some overambitious Otaku read something into the
- story that he wanted to be there. ;) or -_^

- >RE: Appleseed
-
- >What is the name of the main female character?
- Deunan (Dee| oo -or- yu |nan) Knute (Nu|tay)
- A bit of humor here. Shirow-sama wanted a certain sound to her
- name, and his Romanized english in the manga came out Deunan
- Nut... :) When informed of the English meaning of this he
- accepted the Studio Proteus spelling of "Knute" for their
- translations. Yep. TRANSLATIONS. Lots of 'em. Dark Horse
- publishes them. Books 1-3, containing compilatioons of 5 issues
- each, and Book 4 w/ 4 issues are currently available on back
- order last thing _I_ heard, but....
- (Trust no one! Keep your Puma handy!)
- Book 5 is currently running in Comic Gaia in Japan.
- Also see: Intron Depot, Dominion.

- >What is/are the name(s) of the mecha and\or robots she uses or
- >is friends with or associated with?
-
- The big fellow she hangs around with is Briareos
- (Bri| air -or- ar |ee|os), a combat cyborg who served as her
- very close friend and mentor for years before the Big War.
- The powered-armor style Mech she uses is called the GUGES.
- (Gheeyou-gehz). It is a top-of-the-line model she went heavily
- into debt to get, and she runs it into the ground. (And runs up
- high repair bills consequently...)

-
- My friend-in-manga; even if I was not a Heavy-Duty Shirow fan, I
- would say that you are missing a treat. Find the Dark Horse
- translations and read them.
-
- All this data and more! Coming soon to a Shirow FAQ near you!
- (Oh my aching fingers... How did I get into this...?)
