Thymbris knows Atsali's birth parents?

Well Atsali's parents are dead. Did they meet Thymbris in hades?

I dont remember it saying they were actually dead. she may think they are but who knows

Castela says they're dead just before her first tantrum at the orphanage...

Θυμβρις:

THYMBRIS was a prophetic Arkadian Oreiad or Naiad nymph who, according to one account, was the mother of the god Pan by Zeus.

She is related to the nymphai Sose and Penelopeia, who are both elsewhere called the mother of Pan.

Apparently Sali's fighting skills and powers come from her father!!!! That sounds like we was a very good one if Sali's right hook would make him proud.

But I expected an incubus would be a lover, not a fighter! If he is maybe its the battle of the sexes?

Apparently Nudge and Tisallah have a brother as well. By the mythology their brother is Pan.

HA! So that IS Tsillah's Mom... what an introduction... is she as scatter-brained as her kid?

Well, according to the bit i quoted above, she's a prophetic nymph or naiad...

Paul really comes up with some MEMORABLE creepy character designs.

Heh... I was fairly close in my guess on Friday... but not quite on target.

And she's got shoulder spikies, just like Nudge, and has the facial markings that both Tsillah and Nudge have. So, I guess this probably confirms that she's one parent that the two have in common. We still don't know if they share a father - maybe we'll find out this week?

who, according to one account, was the mother of the god Pan by Zeus

which, if true, would then make both Tsillah and Nudge half-sisters of Pan (or, possibly, Tsillah and Nudge might be half-sisters, and Nudge might be another child of Thymbris and Zeus?)

That's just too funny! I love the bit about "I was still in my Hades uniform"...



Meanwhile, it's nice to see one's opinion vindicated: she was, indeed, forming flesh...


Also, I think this now confirms once and for all that Nudge and Tsillah definitely share the same mom, given the physical attributes (face markings - both Nudge and Tsillah, spines on the shoulders - like Nudge's - and, judging from the right elbow, she may be somewhat hairy - once again, Nudge.)

I think oldmanmickey was closer to the target...

That's what I get for taking to long to post... someone beats me to it even as I double-check my post...

From Google translation of this:

• Thymbris ( Θύμβρις , εως ) Internet search at Google | GBV- literature search
  
  Nymph , after Apollod.1,4,1,3 of Zeus mother of the god Pan

Yep -- Kid's got quite a background!

Atsali in panel 2 reminds me of the last panel here.

Looks like she's wearing goggles.

Now the question is: if Tsillah was expecting her mom, why did she run?

(Woulda sworn I hit the edit button...)

I am a bit slow on the uptake here but Atsali has a kick and punch strong enough to shatter a demigod in hell uniform. What the devil is that kid? Daddy might be a full fledged demon or at lest another demigod who maybe as someones older sister said, "hung like a centaur."

Ummmm...

'Right hook"? Is Tsillah left-handed?

You're expecting Tsillah to do anything in what might be perceived as conventional logic?
