I knew I forgot something...

I neglected to iron out the specific heights for Mecchen girls. I've been looking back and I think I kept the height details vague enough that I have a wide range to work from. I want to be realistic in a Japanese-anime-form context though, but not too much (it's not Japan after all). That context offers a decent touchstone though. As Kelly will even note "animes tend to fudge heights" ex - Ranma and some 6 foot male characters and medium 5 foot female ones. Still. I want tend towards the lower end like with certain verisimilitude, or truthiness. Plausibility according to the rules I'd set out for the story. And so, here's what I've worked out. If anything written conflicts with this, please tell me. FYI - these heights may never be exactly explicit in the narrative but it'd be the general height of each character.

Nathan – 5’11” (for now)
Kelly – 5’7” (for now)
*new character in Chapter 9* – 5’7”
Jamie – 5’6” (for now)
Aneko – 5’4”
Mami – 5’4”
Sumi – 5’4”
Katsumi – 5’3”
Ami – 5’2”
Eventual height of one of the boys – 5’2”
Miki – 5’2”
Reiko – 5’2”
Eventual height of one of the boys – 5’1”
Nana – 5’0”
Eventual height of one of the boys – 5’0”
Tara – 4’11”

Yeah, by bumping up the heights a tad (at least for specifics' sake) it looks like it reflects more "accurately" on the median height for females, which is around 5'4" from what I understand.

Oh, and I really need to start reading this latest venture of yours once I'm not so bogged down with classwork, so I can talk writing with you, or something! :D

Enough randomness out of me.

Yes you do. For shame with being busy and having a life!

Carry on. ^_^;
