I glossed over it in her backstory, but here are some fun facts about Velvet's world travels:
1) She knows a
lot of languages. Most current (and quite a number of extinct, like Norn and Fingallian) Eurasian languages to
some level and more than two dozen to fluency, as well as several from the New World like Apache and Navajo. That's right
@Xaltwind, she can talk smack to Miyuki in her mother tongue! そうでしょ、バカ狐?
2) She knew several historical figures, a couple friendly, most unfriendly. She was particularly fond of Lord Byron, for example, and she has a permanent and irresolvable vendetta against Count Dracula of Wallachia for being a
terrible host when she was in the neighborhood. Not only that, but also letting everyone know quite a few weaknesses of her kind because he just HAD to go to England, HER TURF (when she was asleep, no less!), and try to abduct some women in the
dumbest way possible.
3) In that vein, she's also responsible for several historical events. For example, she might've gone a little too hard on some early settlements that vanished off the map, she was
definitely the one who killed Edgar Allen Poe, and she's responsible for at LEAST one war (the War of the Roses, for those curious).
