Subject: Marriage Prospects: Hyoga
Now for a really cool customer.
ATHENA BRONZE SAINT CYGNUS HYOGA (Were the kids really adopted, or did
the Kiddo Foundation just assume guardianship?)
Looks: Good. Could use a haircut though.
Smarts: Decent, but not spectacular.
Personality: Cool, calm and collected. Well, most of the time. A
bit standoffish until he knows you're worthwhile. Has a severe
obsession with his mother (though he's getting a little better by the
end of the anime.) Raised Christian early.
Cooking: I haven't a clue, but since there didn't seem to be any
women at his training camp, perhaps Aquarius made him cook.
Fighting Skills: Excellent, right behind Shiryu. Funky bird style
catches some people off guard.
Special abilities: Diamond Dust, Aurora Execution, other cold-based
attacks. Cygnus Cloth seems to do little other than offer protection,
except that very memorable headpiece trick early on. Sometimes can
access Aquarius Cloth.
Competition: Freya, Ellie, possibly one I've forgottten. These seem
to be short-term attractions based on physical appearance, did either
of them show up outside their respective story arcs?
In-Laws: Mother. Yes, she's dead, but she'll be a palpable presence
in the household anyway.
Economics: Works for a multi-billionaire. If not, ability to
generate absolute zero temperatures would be valuable to scientists
everywhere.
Sex: Could be difficult. He's going to pick based on resemblance to
his mother, but having sex with his mother? Once he's past that,
he'll be far more passionate than his icy exterior would indicate.
Overall: Not bad, but if you haven't got blond hair and blue eyes,
forget it, you aren't even going to get a look in.
SKJAM!
