Welcome.

This is a thread for discussing the Girl Genius novelization Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess, as well as all Girl Genius in general. The subject matter is the property of Phil and Kaja Foglio.

No spoilers are required in this thread. The assumption is you've read the material already. That is why this thread exists--to provide a place for people to talk without having to try to avoid giving away secrets.

I own this account. If you're rude or a jackass, I will delete your post. If you're debating in good faith and not annoying the natives, I won't. If people really can't behave, I'll delete the whole fershlugginer thread.

Have fun. Talk at will. If you don't want spoilers, run away now.

Hippogrif.

Violetta prefers someone more straightforward? Well, might Gil qualify? He certainly CAN be sneaky, but it's not something he drank with his mother's milk.

Yes and no - she would not be a good influence on him, and she wouldn't meet his criteria anyway.

If Gil were not to end up with Agatha and Tarvek really is planning to resurrect Anevka and get Lu out of her head too, Anevka would be a politically useful alternative. She's royal and Sparky, and marrying the opposition is often a useful part of ending wars. Marrying into the recognized Storm King bloodline could only help, too. Not that I think this is in any way likely, but interesting for speculation.

Vi's not smart enough for Gil either; and she'd both hate and be horrible at the necessary diplomacy required at his level of political influence.

Who could Vi marry besides Moloch? Hmm. Van could probably handle her, though I'm not sure he likes that much drama in his life. I really can't see her with any of the other prisoners. The jaegers might actually like her style, but I'm not sure they're available. Maybe some of the other members of the town council have children or grandchildren; the lady with the crush on Klaus might have the appropriate sort of offspring.

For anyone familiar with the Vorkosigan books, Violetta could be a future Drou. Find someone who actually respects her (which may go a long way toward moderating that temper) and raise socially well-placed ninja-trained kids.

I think her attraction to Moloch is cute, but in the long run I think she'd scare him. Moloch doesn't get a lot of control in his life - having a girlfriend/wife who could turn him into a pretzel does not like something he'd enjoy in the long run. I do wonder if he realizes how scary Sanaa actually is. If Violetta gets to make it to those parties she's hoping for, lets Tarvek (in a good mood, hopefully) at her wardrobe, dances with the boys too, and she'll find a better match.
