I'm not crying, you're crying!

Disney's (and Pixar's) and Dreamworks' (and xxxxx) underrated "old" movies such as Dinosaur or Spirit, Balto and Aristocats, Brother Bear or Rise of the Guardians, Atlantis and Treasure Planet, even Hercules or Lilo & Stitch e.g., and yes, some of the newer ones as well, will forever have a special place in my heart and are in fact some of my childhood (and all-time) favorites ..

but those two lovely little ladies had me crying several times now and I don't think that's gonna stop anytime soon, family deaths just hit too close to home these past years

Being two of the best films of 2016 isn't the only thing they have in common; they also have their main protagonists meeting the spirits of their loved ones that have passed in the films and being surrounded by many other spirits.

One of my favorite movies is Moana. I am obsessed with Disney everything. One of the many things I love about Disney is that there is so many amazing quotes. A lot of those quotes are so a amazing and can be so meaningful. For an example, this Moana quote. ‘There is nowhere you could go that I won’t be with you.’ Every time I watch this movie and hear this part of the movie, I get a little happy and sad on the inside.

I get emotional on that part because it reminds me of a passed loved one but also reminds me of the other passed on loved ones. I am one to believe that the ones who have passed on are not really gone. They follow you no matter where you go and are always around. I like to think that they find little ways to show you that they are still there for you even though they are no longer on this earth physically. This quote is just a reminder that they are still here and that you’re not alone.

Quick thought about old female characters in Valkyrie Connect

While playing Noel The Mortal Fate, I came across this incredible old woman character named Coffin Neris.

I love her so much that she makes me think about middle-aged+ female characters in the media.

I scratched my head and came up with the following short list of old lady characters I've known and liked.

Queen Clarisse Renaldi from The Princess Diaries

Professor Minerva McGonagall from Harry Potter

All The Golden Girls main characters

Gramma Tala from Moana

Gabai Granny from Saga no Gabai Baachan

Mamá Coco from Coco

Kaede from Inuyasha

Yubaba from Spirited Away

Witch of the Waste and Madam Suliman from Howl's Moving Castle

Mrs. Orange from Okami

Cologne from Ranma 1/2

Chiyo from Naruto Shippuden

Pinako Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist 

Torogai from Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit

Now let's see how many old women there are in my forever obsession, Valkyrie Connect.

Despite their youthful appearance, Ipsum and Mimir appear to be the only 2 characters who, in my opinion, can fit into the category (I do not count in the collab characters, only the original characters). One claims to be "the eldest elf alive," and both are acquainted with Bor and existed before Lord Odin was born.

Some notable female characters who may be mature but have not reached the age that can be considered truly old - the criteria I'm looking for, are:

Skadi, Freya, Frigg, Vili, Lodur, Jord, Gefion, Yvette, Crimi, Melveryn...

As for Eostre, a divine beast, I'm not sure how old she is.

So, now that I think about it, I'm kind of disappointed, first because of the lack of in-game old female characters, and secondly because the game's designers lacked the courage to depict them with accurate ages, despite the male counterparts aging gracefully:

I'd like to see more depictions of older female characters in Valkyrie Connect (and in other games as well). Aging isn't a bad thing; it's a natural process. There are already far too many young attractive girls in the game. Why not spice things up a little? Not that it will affect the sales because I believe most players are only concerned with their abilities (auto skills, passive skills) to fight in the Arena and Connect Battles.

With these thoughts in mind, I'm considering submitting one or two old female characters to the Hero Creation Competition next year.

After I saw Gramma Tala's spirit Manta ray form twice in the dark, it reminded me of Jack Frost being reborn at the beginning of Rise of the Guardians, I stared to wonder if MiM/Manny (the Man in the Moon) did the same for her. The reprise of How Far I'll Go did have the word "moon" in it and we all see Tala's "fish" spirit at night. That's one way to use a (Disney and DreamWorks) crossover to put two and two together.
