* MyGreatestFailure: Ishizu places a lot of blame for Marik's past SplitPersonality issues on herself, as she feels that if she hadn't broken their family's rules by taking Marik out to see the surface world when he'd wanted to go exploring, all the tragedies their family experienced and Marik's role as the BigBad of Battle City wouldn't have happened.
Added DiffLines:
* ShrinkingViolet: The fic portrays Ishizu as a downplayed example, as she's pretty uncomfortable getting into new situations that test the boundaries of her family traditions; the outing at the club in the first chapter is only the first displayed example.
