History WMG / DragonQuestIX

** Wait... there's a monster that sometimes appears on the island. A [[HornyDevil Cannibelle.]] ....[[FridgeHorror ohhhh dang.]]

[[WMG: Coffinwell tells the origin story of [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Hina Kagiyama]].]]

[[WMG: Conversely, the human [[PlayerMooks party members]] are ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}''-esque figments of the main character's imagination.]]

** It seems unlikely Zenus would create a daughter to provide humanity's villainy. He wants Celestia to regain human form. He created the observatory and the Celestians for that very purpose. He'd be working against himself if wanted to prove humanity was evil at this point.

** Hello, this is the troper who came up with the Leo theory. You [[strike: sir]] madam, have just made my day for mentioning me. Please accept this [[MadeOfWin Made of Win]].

But aren't non-corporeal ghosts like the ones from this world. Before their final destination, their souls dropped by the InnBetweenTheWorlds are paired up with the Almost Human hero. The Hero can summon them at will like ''PhantomBrave'' or ''ValkyrieProfile'' but they have no presence and are invisible when the hero talks to other people. In fact, this is why the hero never relies on them to [[spoiler: stop superior Celestrians]] despite FridgeLogic indicating that they, as humans, wouldn't have the same limitations. They're beholden to him/her.

[[WMG: Celestra is the Goddess from other DragonQuest games.]]

* There is support for Sterling being more than he appears. He can interact with both mortals and Celestrians, and we never do get much backstory on him. On top of this, the name similarity isn't limited to the English version: in Japanese, Sterling's name is "Agiro" and the third dragon's name is "Agirogos"; in spanish, Sterling is called "Astracán" and the dragon's name is "Astraco". The proof is left for people to theorize.

There has to be some kind of link.

* The Cannibelles: as per the the bestiary entry they are sadist who would kill or make miserable hapless travelers to satisfy their vanity. They are also {{Palette Swap}}s of [[{{Yandere}} Morag]], A woman who screwed over a noble knight and turned him into a zombie forever separating him from his crush just so that ''she'' could have him. On top of that she initaly wne to his kingdom just to help Yore destroy it.

* In that gambit they made the {{Memento|Macguffin}} Necklace and chose 2 guys at random. [[IAmLegion They would then disguise themselves as a woman called]] [[LouisCypher Annabella]] and lure them both to an inaccessible island infested with monsters string them along in the process. Then two would date one of the guys each, tossing the necklace back and forth until they both proposed. 3 days later both would then [[FakingTheDead Fake The Dead]] and give them the actual necklace and a copy that would disappear over time creating the illusion that one of them had took the necklace when in reality no one took anything. Lost in their grief, they would mourn their [[TheLostLenore Lost Lenores]] that they never really have while the Cannibelles would feast on their tears or use them as makeup or something. The end result is a tragic love triangle between 2 sad and bitter men and an army of sadistic succubi pretending to be their fiances...And no one would be the wiser. Except maybe the hero, but the game will only let you repeat the quests [[XanatosGambit causing a sort of negative (or positive depending on interpretation) feedback loop and an endless feast for the Cannibelles until both men die unaware that they have been lied to, cheated on, and fed on by a bunch of demons.]]

Their bestiary entry states that they think tears of sorrow would make then beautiful. This is how ThisTroper thinks they did it.
