Who are the Norns' Parents? Megami ML ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regrettably, I spoke based on information that another poster had made to the ML. That poster indicated that Bell-chan spoke to Skuld about father "not having been the same since mother died" (paraphrase). The same poster also flatly asserted that Urd's mother was dead. It appeared to me that this information WAS based on the manga. Would love to get some people in on this thread to resolve it. Comments anybody?

As far as I'm concerned, their parents are alive and well >until the manga or anime says otherwise. While having Urd's mom running around might make a fascinating story, having Skuld's mom around leads to problems... A> Why is Skuld all alone in the heavens? B> Why does Skuld run to Bell and not their mother? C> Why is Bell so practiced at acting Skuld's mother? D> Why does Bell seem to remember their mother so much better than Skuld does? E> Why does Skuld spend the rest of the story staying as far away from Kamisama as can be managed, without actually breaking any of the rules? F> If breaking the rules would leave Skuld open to punishment by Kamisama, what would be the nature of that punishment? (Skuld acts a lot more afraid of Kamisama than her sisters do...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > actually, I think they do have parents.

No, this is wrong. In "Terrible Master Urd" Belldandy says that Urd is half-demon, but her demon side comes from her -mother-. Belldandy says, and I quote, "We all have the same father." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All we really know concerning their parents from the manga is that the three shared the same father, Skuld and Belldandy an angelic mother and Urd a demoness for a mother. Urd's mother was obviously part of the 'Terrible Master's' lineage, probably the heir.
