Arika in My Hime 26

When Mai, Natsuki and Mikoto are turning away at the end of My Hime episode 26, a girl with orange pigtails runs by in the background, giving very brief service to the camera. However, her face and hairstyle is unmistakeable. And looking the same age as she does in Mai Otome.

Miss Arika Yumemiyal, spoiling my hope of a sane family lineage at every turn. The true princess was floated down a storm drain some 14 years prior to Arika stumbling across the desert. The Aswadian droids were led by Midori Sugiura, seemingly already in her cursed-to-be-17 form, which by nessessity takes place after the end of My Hime.

Thus, I conclude that we’ve either fallen though a timespace vortex, the writers are causing nonsensical cameos, or Arika is not the true princess. Instead she is also aflicted by the ageless Aswad curse, which is why she was sent to the Acadamy in the first place; to pump her full of life-bringing micrmachines.

Has an official history path covering both My HiME and Mai Otome ever been produced?
