Plus the clan of Joy is only one of three sister clans ruled by 'the Matrons of Light' left from the Dragon-Cubi wars. Oh, yeah, the dragons PR rating has sunk a bit with this reveal.

How great was it to begin with anyway?
So that's minks (greatX?) grandmother eh? I had a feeling Mink's affinity was joy or something similar.
Jason: says in the bottom info bar, about 300
Also, just noticed, that's Ducky's daddy who's giving dragons more bad PR :B
you know....I wouldn't be too surprised if pyroducks dad was infact Hizell....but that's purely speculation and there's no facts to back it up :P
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! We know Mink's clan!!! :boogie *passes around the joyous good feelings at this revelation*
I :love3
LOVE :love3 her color and appearance, as well. I definitely wouldn't mind a good healing from her...... >:3
I just noticed that Hizell, is the same dragon that wiped out most of the Siar Clan, too. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_055.php)

what bottom info bar and what are you talking about? I was saying how good was the Dragon's PR rating to begin with, not how great this particular cubi clan was.
Well, that shoots Hizell's (And most other dragons for that matter...) PR in the face... (Cough
bastardcough.)
That's... That's really sad... And also really ironic that a race of healers would be driven almost to the point of extinction...
I also feel
really glad now that in my novel, dragons were/are jerks and got their asses kicked by
unicorns. (Seriously, don't anger the horses with horns. It won't be pretty for ya.)
Is this a
bad time to mention that I found Deis (Bleu in the English translation.) from the Breath of Fire series

seem evil... Unless evil heals you because you're nearby in an attempt to prolong your suffering, but that doesn't make any sense for Joy-affinity cubi...

Hmm, RJ seems more neon colored than pastel to me, what with the bright pink hair.
Also, the facial profile in the comic with Siar fighting Hizell looks similar to the profile of Ducky's dad, but unless its simply drawing discrepencies on Amber's part, I doubt they are one and the same.
Edit: Also, while it is barely noticeable it still seems RJ's symbol is on her hand here: http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_555.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_555.php)
Yes! FINALLY, JOY!! AND IT'S MINK's CLAN!!! :boogie :boogie :boogie
Huh... so that's Jin, and she radiates healing energy :U
I'm guessing Jin's clan is a prime example of one of the nicer variations of Cubi Abel talked about. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_524.php)
An affinity for healing arts? Sweeeeeet. :3
It makes sense that this clan would want to build a hospital... especially a children's hospital.
I just realized, while typing this, that Jin is the oldest clan leader revealed thus far.
So... Hizell seems to have been responsible for more than one genocide of a Cubi Clan. I feel something coming around the corner :mowninja
Huh, I just realized, Jin reminds me of Miss Oolong from the library. Wonder if that's simply a coincidence :erk

Ahh, but remember, even Mythos can have children with Cubi, and if the Cubi half is stronger, they will become a Cubi form of the Mythos.
(Or vice versa. And considering we have no idea how old Oolong is, its possible somewhere, long long down Jin's line that she mated with a Mythos and the Mythos half was stronger than her cubi half at the time.)

It's a coincidence.
Oolong is a full-blooded Mythos who likes to change her colour sequences every so often. There are actually quite a few full-blooded Mythos that work at the Academy. They're likely the most common race found in the Academy if you don't count the actual Cubi.
Well there goes my crazy forumite speculation theory :<

She's actually part of a different clan according to her page (http://dmfa.wikia.com/wiki/Raine_Joybringer) that's on DMFA's wiki site. (Granted, I know the information is taken from the character's creator and may not be canon with the DMFA universe; but I still felt to share this information. :))

Wait ther's only 8 members? That's like the smallest clan so far (Siar asside).
I just noticed that her scales form into heart shapes.
I am so wanting to join this clan. :U

Personally, I think Mink has a lovely Great Great Grandmother. Suppose the report woulda been a great excuse for a mental visit too. And of course now the kid hospital makes sense, poor lady.
I just realized;
Jin's clan was almost completey annihilated by Hizell.
Mink's mother was murdered.
Thus, could one assume that maybe Mink's mother was killed by Hizell and or Hizell's agents/children/allies? <-- (me making theories when I am not sleeping)
This also makes me ponder the following: "How old is Mink exactly?"

It would make some sense if Hizell was trying to 'collect the set', a is it were. Also the use of the term "completely destroyed" sounds pretty ominous.
That Mink is a Joy 'Cubi does make me wonder if it undermines the "grieving through happiness" theory, though.
Quote from: Tapewolf on February 23, 2010, 04:43:07 AM

I'm guessing that Siar wasn't the first time that Hizell used his trick for tracking the remaining members of a clan using the dying essence of the leader.

as I said last time it was brought up
Hizell has a larger muzzle and longer jaw, he's also got a downword pointing spike at the hinge of his jaw, he's also got a small spike above his eyes, and a differnt shaped nose
Most likely they are differnt dragons
So, Bunny + Sea-Monster = Squiggly! :mowmeep
Regarding spoilers in the Clan Leaders section, Amber has the option of updating the Clan Leaders info just like she does on occasion with the Cast pages. I know it would be a bit more of a pain since the clan info consists of images rather than text, but its an option.
I know I'll be reading every Clan Leader page. I hope the mini-spoilers aren't too spoilerific.

Imagine the subsequent nagging and rampant speculations ...
Jin's clan needs to grow in size by about 2000. Like now. There can never be too much joy, or too many healers. It's a pity that healing energy only tends to work on physical ailments, though...
I honestly couldn't give less than a damn about spoilers at this point. If the writing is good enough to make How things happen and the character's reactions to it as interesting as What happens then a story can still be be very enjoyable even when spoiled.
And Amber's writing is just that good.
Joy and healing.
It's good to see what clan Mink belongs to.
Was this possibly the clan Abel was talking about when he told Dan about Cubi that dress up as a clown and go to hospitals and cheer up sick and injured children? :mowhappy

Still, doesn't fit as much with DP's 'Evil Overlord' motif if instead of, "Mwahahaha, at last, thanks to Lorenda's wiles I shall be able to forge an alliance with the Mighty Clan Cyra! Bwahahaha!" it's more like, "Sweet, maybe I can hire Destinia for some things." :P
But seriously though, there is no indication that Cyra's clan has been so decimated, only that there aren't currently any other members besides Dan with a direct lineage to the founder who are also still young enough to dream.
Yay! A Naga Cubi clan leader!! It's good to see that Chu'Si's not the only one. http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_630.php

Aw, Jin's so pretty. :) I'm going to admit that I want to give her a big hug. A pastel-colored clan would be so pretty.
This kind of confirms something I was wondering earlier: if there are Cubi clans that still have their tri-wing leaders, but only have a few members left. I like Jin Clan; it's interesting. Jin's probably the oldest tri-wing we've seen yet, and yet she has the smallest clan.

We only know of the leader Cyra, and two members, Dest and Dan. Cyra herself said that Dest is the last of her descendants, however Amber added "Only two that we know about" when I first pointed this out.

Dan is from Clan Cyra!
Clan Cyra is super-effective!
Clan Cyra gets +20 health!

The fact that Cyra is (relatively) weak may make them more approachable by D.P, other more powerful clans wouldn't be interested and he may theorise that Cyra clan would agree to an alliance to become stronger.

You're right, I forgot about Fa'Lina. But Fa'Lina's pretty damn young compared to Jin, come to think of it. She's around 9,000 years old.
That'd probably make her the youngest tri-wing if Amber keeps introducing characters in the age group of five digits.

You're right about the age, she is quite young.
Personally, I've always thought that Fa'Lina's affinity could be innocence, thus her love of children.
Thus, loosing her clan = loosing her innocence = Fa'Lina inna RAGE!
And since we have been told that Fa'Lina is quite powerful, despite her young age, it makes me wonder why she didn't g on a killing rampage, but build an academy instead ? It would have been the most obvious choice - But then, she's good at dodging the mostly obvious cliché's, so that might be why.
Still, wouldn't been much of a story without her, so it's good to have her around. :)

You're right about the age, she is quite young.
Personally, I've always thought that Fa'Lina's affinity could be innocence, thus her love of children.
Thus, loosing her clan = loosing her innocence = Fa'Lina inna RAGE!
And since we have been told that Fa'Lina is quite powerful, despite her young age, it makes me wonder why she didn't g on a killing rampage, but build an academy instead ? It would have been the most obvious choice - But then, she's good at dodging the mostly obvious cliché's, so that might be why.
I personally wouldn't be surprised if her affinity would be "Ambivalence", since most of the times Fa'Lina is around there's a lot of mixed emotions and contradictions around. For example, here she "helps" in a violent way (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_532.php) and here Dan's feeling conflicted at her erratic/unpredicatable actions (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_591.php).

(For those who aren't familiar with the definition of Ambivalence: it's a state of having emotions, thoughts or actions in contradiction with each other, when they're related to an object, idea or person (for example, feeling both love and hatred at once). The term is also used in situations in reference to where 'mixed feelings' are experienced or where a person experiences uncertainty or indecisiveness concerning something.)

Eh, I say the sound effect for http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_532.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_532.php) would've been better as "CLOTHESLINE'D". (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clothesline (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clothesline)) But, since it won't fit in the space available, I can understand.
But yeah, really makes we wonder about her affinity now... Ambivalence sounds pretty apt...

Yeees, but innocence isn't relly an emotion, though.

Good call. Also, she's a fearsome pink poodle. ???
What, isn't it obvious?
Fa'Lina's affinity is Love. :hug
Okay, I'll admit it. I made Jin's picture into my laptop's wallpaper.
Now, whenever I open my laptop, I smile. She's good. :smile

...Wait. If a Joy cubi and a Lust cubi had a kid, would it have an affinity to love?
Makes sense in my mind.

Or they could just practice sexual healing...
Personally I've always thought Fa'Lina's Affinity to be irritation. She (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_487.php) certainly (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_532.php) seems (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_554.php) quite (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_560.php) fond (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_589.php) of (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_597.php) annoying (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_727.php) people (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_015.php)(even Fi (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_068.php)) =P
Think about it.
She and her clan were underestimated without warrant.
Rather than give in to despair she founded the SAIA to help those who had suffered as she did.
She refused revenge and adopted her enemy's child.
She is clearly offended by Aniz's cavalier attitude with His(mark's) wife's heart and his son's psyche.
She wants nothing but the best for those associated with her, but is still willing to let them go make their own choices if they so wish it.
She irritates everyone, yet is surprisingly vendetta-free. :3
If that's not Love I dunno what is.
So Mink is one of only eight members in a clan? Amazing he didn't go bonkers like Aniz.

Aniz went bonkers because his Clan Leader Siar died and it was a very traumatic experience; Mink didn't because Jin is still alive and well. Although, I'm sure all of Jin's clan members were distraught at loosing a lot of their fellow clansmen. :cry
Amber said "much less" a clan leader. I would think that he would become emotionally destroyed in an event such as that.

Ah, but it was also said that many who survive loosing their clan leader, do so without some form of metal scars (hence, why Aniz went bonkers) and I'm sure Mink, Jin and the surviving clan members did suffer a trauma, but not enough that they weren't able to move on.
Or maybe their just holding the sad emotions in with hyperactive happy emotions.

Well, I can see Mink
possibly doing that...............but I can't say for Jin and the rest of the clan though.

Hard to say - all joy 'Cubi might be like Mink. We don't really have a comparison.
Depending on how old he is, chances are he wasn't born when most of the clan were massacred anyway.
He might of just been a little kid, he remembers his mom dying and I think she died in the war.

And not to mention page 493 where Fa'Lina proudly tells Dan that there are clans that revolve around peaceful behavior... followed by smashing him in the head, stating "well not MY clan in particular" (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_493.php)
Edit: Not to mention that the only times I've ever actually seen her smile(other then when eating muffins or planning grandchildren) are when she's annoying someone =P
Don't know if this has been said already, but apparently the healing powers only help physical wounds, not mental or spiritual ones. Otherwise Abel wouldn't be such a pouty-poop after hanging around Mink so much...or is it vice versa?
Well, they say "you are what you eat." So I don't think it's strange that Jin's clan is happy in spite of the past. :B

How does the saying go? "You always hurt the ones you love?" :cry

"This'll hurt you more than it'll hurt me"?
Mink's affinity is joy, but an encounter with Mink tends to result in annoyance.
I think Fa'Lina's affinity is extreme annoyance, but she bases her actions upon love.

Are you sure it's not because she's an insane sadist? http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_591.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_591.php) Seriously, a justified excuse to clobber somebody over the head with something would make ANY sadist, insane or otherwise, smile.

Oh, you can be an insane sadist and have an affinity for love at the same time just fine. You'll just
express it in ways that would strike most self-proclaimed sane people as a bit odd, is all. :mwaha
Just realized that Jin's is the Clan that was trying to get a children's hospital built in Zinvth when Aniz screwed things over with killing Henya(SP?) and kidnapping Abel.

That depends, of course, on whether or not Abel would be worse without Mink.
