Also, I have always wondered about how come GENMA, who was a lot crueler and
vulnerable to greed than Cologne in the manga AND anime, had never been
portrayed quite as harshly(except by me in Poison (the original one) and
Darkness and Light (still in draft but not for long)?
I suspect this might be out of respect for Cologne's intelligence.
She gets portrayed as calculating, yet her calculations are never for
herself alone. There is always a reason, the good of the Amazons, behind
her actions. (It may not be the best reason, see my picture of her in
Bedtime Story [shameless, shameless]) But Cologne is not caught up her
own creature comforts. Genma, on the other hand, is a self-centred,
self-serving buffoon.
