Oh, here's another thing I had in mind for her writeup... @BODY:Many have noted that Iolanthe's minions often seem very redeemable. No one has decided if this was an actual _mistake_ of the Lightbringer's, overcome by Io-chan's cuteness, or if it is a subtle plot to keep angels busy trying to redeem said demons of Cute... Christopher, who might be considered something of an enemy to demonic cuteness, has no comment...
