**** This is not necessarily true, there have been times even in the medival period where common women were given power or were largely independent on their husbands, see the Wife of Bath. Also there are few records written by the poor who lived by a different set of rules than the nobility who would be the ones in charge of the records. Besides that given the fighting ability of these women your hypothetical would end in the death of said guard.

*** The whole ordeal (during ''[=SE=]'', atleast) was more in the lines of "Sophie was a BIG fan of ancient myths", nothing else: Before knowing the gods were actually real, she was actually very interested in ancient greek mythology and lamented how people of her time has forgotten about their roots and culture. After leaving the mandatory worship (mass, though I'm not sure if that's the right term), she used to have a "silent prayer" to the city's protector (Athena) only out of respect for the story build by her ancestors, not because she's secretly thinking they are real (yet). After they are found out to be real, she's still not going every odd day to pray for them, but just visiting the ruins of the temple in very special times (her engagement, when she's troubled in ''[=SC3=]'').

**** [[Tropers.ReikoKazama My]] [[WildMassGuessing guess]] is that Cassandra somehow figured out (behind the scenes) that SC was (if I remember right... haven't played either of the 3 [yes, 3: IV, BD, and II in the order that I received them] games that I do have in ages XD) born from a fragment of SE, and therefore *[[BlahBlahBlah rambles on and on, incorporating segments from the above post and little figments of her own imagination and ends up getting weird looks from the surrounding tropers]]*

** Link's not exactly a stranger to portals either...
* Minor nitpick: While in "blind stance" (well, in SC II for the gamecube, the only one I currently own), why does Voldo need to be looking over his shoulder at his opponent? It probably isn't a hindrance (this Voldo, after all), but it seems pretty pointless since he's blind. Plus, not looking around would have a more unnerving effect.

** Well, I don't know so much about the male Characters' standard outfits (Though a couple of the costumes both now and in the past feature open shirts and the like), but you realize they can just as easily be clad in nothing by a loincloth or tightpants, right? It goes both ways here.
