Frankly, I'm annoyed at the fact that every (well, from Ys I - IV, VI. Not sure about Niena from V) freakin' female lead has been put in the silly "damsel in distress" role. What shocked me about Olha from VI was that, here was this girl capable of using a bow and arrow to, you know, hit things and she STILL gets captured. WTF? Why are they so useless? And don't get me started on the Feena and Reah ...

Well, in Olha's csae, a bow and arrow can only do so much against an army. Also: No one ever kidnaps Zalem! Because she'd bite them.
Also: Does Karna get kidnapped? I don't recall.
From what I can tell, most of the kidnappings have a point. For instance, Ernst has uses for Olha and Isha, Darm needs to keep the Goddesses from interfering, Galbadon needs to lure Adol to free him somehow, and so on.
I think Lilia, though, is just captured because she's there.

Also: Does Karna get kidnapped? I don't recall. I don't think so cuz she'd probably kill the captors with her bare hands. :P 'Sides Lilia was there to get kidnapped in her place. ( Mask of the Sun version. Dunno about DoY.) *punches Lilia* Useless girl!!! >:( Well, regardless of the reason (for sacrifice, etc.), it's still a silly trend. If an Ys game had an all male cast, would someone get kidnapped then? :O And Olha could have, I dunno, threw a bunch of arrows (without the bow) at the Romun soldiers and ran! XD It'd be neat if she were like a Diablo archer -- just stand in place and keep shooting arrows at everything in sight! |

Every now and then you do have an Ys woman that's a villain. Rijie, Bammy, Zava(acts/looks like Bammy in YsO) and...hmmm....

.......I wonder how the heck she manages to handle anything at all wearing those mittens. What would have been so wrong about a simple pair of leather gloves?  |

Yunica is a distant relative of Pipiro! D: When I saw her character design the first time, I was like, "HEY! This looks familiar!" Well, okei, the resemblance isn't exactly there. I guess it's the bigass gloves that sort of got me thinking that. Or that it was an excuse to plug Zwei!! art. <3 BTW, I couldn't help but notice that the character sprites in Ys Origin (and maybe some earlier Ys PC games) have REALLY BIG HANDS. |

They have magnets in them. Er, is the handle of her weapon wood-like? I never really paid attention. ^^; |

And for the record, I'd be able to take Yunica a lot more seriously if she weren't wearing leather mittens.  They're meant to be used as boxing gloves should her weapons break. ^^ |
