I have failed... as a Grim Angel...

If you have a question that I have not answered, feel free to ask.

why Ledah

Honestly, I didn't care for Riviera much. I haven't even finished playing; I stopped not long after Ledah died. I don't care for the stereotypically shojou parts of the game. I like Ein well enough, but I like Ledah better. His story was tragic, being able to feel emotions is a double edged sword: with happiness, sadness must follow hand in hand, but to give up sadness is to give up happiness as well. It also struck me as incredibly cruel that the Magi demand such sacrifices of Grim Angel candidates.

Catharsis is link free. If you have a Riviera related sitee and would like to affiliate, link exchange, or sibling site, please do contact me. For sibling sites, I'll have to ask you have a character shrine as opposed to a general fansite to the entire series.

boxes?

If you are seeing strange shapes or empty boxes on the site, it's because your browser or OS doesn't support the unicode. You can try going to View -> Character Encoding and work from there. On Windows you may try installing East Asian language support; do this by going to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> then click the 'Install files for East Asian Language.
