In Chapter 41, the old bookstore owner tells Athanasia that she’s cursed. This is before she has the ribbon that Jennette gives her, which is being purchased earlier in the same chapter. The old man maybe an unreliable source, but I’m going to assume he’s right in this instance until proven otherwise. My theory is that her curse is something carried over from what I … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Curse
This is a topic I’m revisiting after my first theory about the royal family’s magic was shown to be dismally wrong (I said that it might be light and black magic in my post, The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir). But what is their magic? Well, let’s review what we know so far: 1. Strong magicians are said to “freeze” their hearts because emotions can cause them … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family and Magic
If you’re reading this, you might have already read some of my many other posts on Who Made Me A Princess, particularly the post I made on Claude and Athanasia’s father-daughter dynamic. In this analysis, I want to discuss how their relationship is shifting in the opening chapters of Season 2. Last time, I said that I thought Claude’s personality was appearing in Athanasia, “This aside, … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia, Revisited
theanimeview: theanimeview: In chapter 45 we see the hint of something Athanasia asked Claude for–I believe that she asked for a portrait of them together. Here is why: First, in chapter 45, we see what is very likely to be the feet of an aisle twice: I haven’t seen much discussion about the gift before, but that’s my theory. I bet that as season 2 … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Request

Okay, holy smokes. I just read chapter 47 and how shocking! Claude is suddenly acting all cold like he was in the book, and I wonder if it’s because he lost a good amount of magic or because of some curse that has been hinted to earlier. It might be a while before we find out completely, but–in the meantime–let’s look at the imagery of … Continue reading Chapter 47
I talked about this before, but I think it is worth repeating as the gold and yellow have remained a consistent aspect of storytelling within the series. Previously, I stated that the dull yellow we see attached to Athy in earlier chapters seems to represent caution, decay, sickness, jealousy, instability and fear while the gold, sparkling yellow seen throughout the work, signifies success, wealth, and cheerful feelings. … Continue reading Revisited: Gold, Art, and Storytelling
I’ve been rereading the webcomic in preparation for new chapters coming soon (I hope) and I have begun to wonder about how Claude view’s Athanasia in relation to her bloodline. Let me explain: Athanasia’s grandfather was “a tyrant obsessed with riches” while Claude is more attuned to leisure and pleasure than his predecessor. Athanasia, as we know, is obsessed with gold (for her run-away fund), … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia
So, I know that in the “Lovely Princess” novel that Athy read in her past life, Princess Athanasia was the elder sister (actually cousin) of Jannette, but the timeline for the current story doesn’t seem to match. Going by how the manhwa has framed the two princesses’ origins, Penelope left the mansion pregnant before Claude met/started-a-relationship with Diana, right? And based on how close the … Continue reading Could Jannette be older than Athanasia?
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial I think it might be good to recognize that the story itself and the novel Athanasia read in her past life are different. Yeah, they have a lot of similarities, but a common thing in these reborn stories is the character’s reliance on everything being by the book, even when they influence major factors or new information that wasn’t … Continue reading THEORY: Grooming for the Throne
