Speech Habits

Kodaka narrates the story in both first person present and first person past tense, depending on the situation.

Rika often refers to herself 3rd person, however I (Vexed) don't go out of my way to put every one of her lines in 3rd person. I generally only make them third person when she actually refers to herself that way. Hence, in sentences lacking a specified subject, she speaks normally (as normal as Rika gets anyway).

This matters more for me as I (Vexed) translate than it does for editing, but here's the way I've translated some of Kobato's terminology she uses as Leysis:

偉大なるXXX = Great XXX

高貴なるXXX = Exalted XXX

Example phrases: "Queen of the [Exalted/Great] [Night/Darkness]"

貴族 = Noble

Example phrases: "Noble of the Night" = 「夜の貴族」

眷属 = Clansman (this one is especially important)
