if you haven't seen the people behind some of the devices, i discovered some interesting links:

i never would have pictured bardiche's CV to look like that. the mechanized voice really threw me off from what i thought he would look like.

After reading the title of your post I thought you were talking about that...

...and that.

oh well, titles can be deceiving but at least what you showed is better, heh. wonder how many people will get the second pic since you'd have to hear the soundstage episode to get why bardiche's human form looks like her.

>>4 I wouldn't understand them anyway without translation. T.T

>>2 First thing that came to my mind when seeing the topic is attached image.
I'd like to know if there are more of these.

Pic is Raising Heart.

Klare Wind (I think...)

Leavantain (Levantine) or however you spell it.

Bardiche is a woman right? just a manly voice

She reminds me of Mint Adnade (Tales of Phantasia) (see picture on the left)

Huh? How do we know Device's gender? As Bardiche has male voice, i assume HE is male.

that's why i mentioned that some people may not get that reference they made for bardiche's human form. obviously he sounds like a guy, but the human model that's used looks alot like linith, right? don't remember her? go back to nanoha a's in the episode when fate was in her "ideal world" and there was this one girl who looked like a maid who woke them up. i actually like linith's story in the soundstage because it shows even more importance of bardiche to fate. although i'm not sure if fate knows what ever happened to linith...

While you mention linith, He (bardiche tercel) has resemblance with her...

BTW, if Bardiche Tercel is a guy, isn't that making Lindy a shotakon?
