That part of the story hasn%27t been written yet. My guess is%2C she hasn%27t %22turned bad%22 any more than Saionji has.%0D%0A%0D%0A - Chad%0D%0A%0D%0A 2|2|1|||||RE%3A Whatever happened to Mia Ausa%3F|Barricade||16:51:34|09/22/2007|I dunno. I know Saionji is playing a very dangerous game with Ohtori%2C but I%27m not so certain about Mia. I think she might have already fallen a bit considering her sheer hatred of the Grey Council and what they did to her %26 her family. That was mentioned IIRC. I%27m getting the feeling that she%27s going along with the whole thing if a bit grudgingly considering I%27m pretty certain she still has her true loyalties with the Duelists%2C if strained%2Fstraining at the moment.%0D%0A%0D%0Abtw - %0D%0AAre we allowed to put up requests for some of the backgrounds on ppl%3F I know Gryphon did a list of two of the Duelist Chapters and who is a member at the moment%2C but something bigger. Kinda like the script for Kate%27s first %22Crimson Lizard%22 movie she did on Ishiyama which might be a riot to read through. 3|3|2|||||RE%3A Whatever happened to Mia Ausa%3F|clg||23:31:27|09/22/2007|%3EI dunno.

I think she might have already %0D%0A%3Efallen a bit considering her sheer hatred of the Grey Council and what %0D%0A%3Ethey did to her %26 her family.%0D%0A%0D%0AI don%27t buy it. First%2C it sounded to me like Mia had made her peace with Minbar after leaving it. Second%2C we know that Saionji owes Mia something%2C probably because she knows he hasn%27t really turned and is willing to hide it from Akio %5Bi%5Det. al.%5B%2Fi%5D%2C which speaks well for her. Finally%2C and most importantly%2C the whole idea wouldn%27t really fit the rest of the story. The authors don%27t seem too big on the whole idea of justifiable anger being the path to the Dark Side. Recall they have the Katsujinkenryuu and Jei practitioners%2C all solidly on the side of light%2C but all willing to use anger to fuel their arts.%0D%0A%0D%0AOf course%2C this leaves open the question of why she%27s in Oriphos in the first place. Is she serving as a double agent like Saionji%2C or just sticking around long enough to learn more about magic and how the world really works%2C or what%3F Still%2C there are reasonable answers to the open questions. I can%27t really change my opinion of Mia without more information.%0D%0A%0D%0AFWIW%2C I don%27t think there%27s any particular rule about requests%2C but I also don%27t think it would do much good. We get what the authors can write when they can write it. %28Considering the track records of most amateur web-based authors%2C I%27m grateful that we get as much as we do.%29%0D%0A%0D%0A - Chad%0D%0A 4|4|3|||||RE%3A Whatever happened to Mia Ausa%3F|Barricade||18:18:24|09/23/2007|Well its also possible that she was pulled into this without exactly her consent. More like told certain things that would get her interest in joining%2C but not about what the price would be at the end. So while she%27s now forced into grudgingly helping%2C she%27s also getting exposed to the darker side of things and pushed%2Fprodded %28possibly%29 into becoming a fully cooperative member. Not that she%27d realize it until its too late. 5|5|4|||||RE%3A Whatever happened to Mia Ausa%3F|WereVulture||08:36:24|09/24/2007|I read that Mia was taking classes in Cephiro%27s new University divison some where about the time when Utena took over the Space Force.Also she did not take the losing to Roger Tremane very well. Possible a chinck.%0D%0A%0D%0AI could also see 1 or 2 possible reasons for her being in Orphios%28spelling%3F%29%0D%0A1 She was in Cephiro and the former Head of the magic dept showed her some things and offered her %22advance study%22%0D%0A2 Seeing all sorts of Harry Potter things%2C A nice old very instructive Book%2FPort Key%0D%0A%0D%0AThese are My thoughts not in any meaningful way relevant %3D%29%0D%0A%0D%0AWV
