That's just me being pre-emptive and presumptuous.Originally Posted by darkchrono
This is only speculative, of course, but it's possible that Shelke will age at an accelerated rate until her physical age is the same as her actual age. After all, it's only the Deepground experiments, procedures and technology that were keeping her ageless; now that she's away from them, her biological makeup should return to normal, in time. (Vincent stayed the same age after leaving his coffin, but then Vincent never required ongoing daily treatment to retain his superhuman powers, whereas Shelke did).
I reckon it's fairly inevitable that there's going to be another FFVII title set after DoC, so it'll probably take place a year or two later. Yuffie and Shelke will both be around 20, and, if I'm right, Shelke will be that age biologically too. Hence my theory that we might one day see those two vying for Vincent's affections... Yuffie, completely manic but with a secret serious side, and Shelke, completely serious but with a secret sensitive side.
It'd be a tough call, determining who he'd go for: he first met each of them in a fight, so 'first impressions' aren't that great; he's known Yuffie for a lot longer, which counts in her favour, but Shelke's experiences in Deepground (torturous experiments, her knowledge of Lucrecia, etc) give her common ground with Vincent that Yuffie could never have.
This could lead to some fine angsty drama, if it's played right.
But Yuffie and Vincent have always been the fan-favourite pairing, so it seems probable.
