OMG! You know what else? if you pull Riona's hair back, she looks sort of like Edea! Riona = Edea!

Just kidding of course. I do see what you are saying about the resemblence, and I thought about saying something about the eyes being slightly different, but it would end up in a circular conversation, so why bother?

There is just simply too little proof for me to give R=U any weight. And too much evidence against it, not the least of which being the "far in the future" status of Ultimeca, her manner of speaking, etc.... we've been all over it before, both ways.
