She has an enjoyable personality.
Combines OLD AGE maturity and wisdom, with a kid's whimsical, selfish nature.
And as shown in Ciel's route, can be quite fucking scary.

Also, the one design Takeuchi never botched.

>> No.1789374

800 years old and I'm supposed to believe:

She doesn't know what feelings are.
She doesn't know anything about first aid.
She's never had her life seriously threatened before.
She's genuinely goofy and dumb sometimes and completely sharp, serious, and murderous at others.

It's not just her, actually. Shiki is goddamned retarded in this route. These two have no fucking chemistry whatsoever.

I can see the stereotype Nasu was going for, but goddamn. Arc route has to be the worst writing he's ever done.

WHne you are an artificial killing machine, never actually suffered wounds you didn't heal instantly (if you suffered any in the first place), almost NEVER talked with anyone, and the time you have been alive and moving in the world is like 1 or two out of the hundred, it makes sense.

I find it hard to believe that anything with a human form and intelligence (and the capability to meander about in the daytime) would never get accustomed to civilization.

She doesn't have to patch up herself, but the likelihood that someone with that long a lifespan would never have known anyone else who would have ever needed even minor wounds tended is absurd.

After chasing Roa for nearly a millennium you'd expect her to pick up a few things here and there.

>> No.1789418

>>1789416
Since she only needs the insides not spilling out, and proper care as she says 'Would not do anything for me anyway', she finds it less absurd.
Shiki' just insists 'Doesn't matter if you can remake bodies and still won't heal, BANDAGES WILL SAVE YOU'.

Personally, I don't find it that hard to believe. People will not get accustomed to things they don't care about, especially if their exposition to them is but a thousandth fraction of their total lifetime. The only reason Arcueid even paid attention to Shiki at frst was because he killed her. 17 times, in fact, just to make sure she noticed him. Some say it was overkill, but hey, if it works.

And even then, until she started to get bored of waiting, and the thought "Heeey, wait a second, if he killed me he must be pretty fucking uber, might as well try to meet him and get his help." crossed her mind, the only reason she wanted to meet him was to rip his insides out and make a scarf with them. If I'm getting things right, after Roa's thing happened, Arc didn't exactly care much for humans, and therefore every time she woke up, went, found him, killed him, and went back home, without talking to anyone if avoidable.

tl;dr: Until Shiki, Arc thought humans were shit, mostly.

Myself, I quite like Arcueid. But then, I'm a sucker for immortals who don't take everything too much as serious business.

>> No.1789542

>>1789531
Not really shit.
She respected them enough (being similar to her in thought and appearance) in order not to prey on them.
But the only 'human' she ever talked to for no reason (other than killing, or allying, like with the church) is Zelretch.
She never 'socialized' before.

The thing about Ciel is that she got a route instead of Sacchin. A route for a heroine that maybe around 4-7 people have claimed to like. A route that caused pain and suffering to everyone who hated her but couldn't stand not having completed the game.

Yeah, I was exaggerating for the sake of argument, mostly. She didn't really hate them per se, just didn't find them interesting enough to bother talking to them.

About the not drinking blood, yeah, it shows she had some respect, though I have heard the argument (and find it believable) that the whole "last time I drank blood I went batshit crazy and became one of those I was supposed to hunt, not to mention I blew up my own species" thing helped her restraint a lot as well.
