#oh and: red eyes are implied to mostly be for body modifications so i think she only gained red eyes after cocooning

would anyone like to hear my crack theory that ryoshu is the mother and daughter combined into one person

explainer: our characters are The Daughter, Yuzuki, 15 The Mother, Ryoshu, 49 (her name is Ryoshu, but i'm calling her Yoshihide for the explanation to prevent confusion) The Sinner, Ryoshu, ~32 (the person who we follow in Limbus Company, who is Yuzuki and Yoshihide sharing a body/consciousness)

Yoshihide and Yuzuki left the Ring and are on the run from the Fingers. The Ring catches them eventually and experiments with cocooning on them where, like a butterfly, they're melted into a primordial soup. They emerge as 2 things: the first of which being Ryoshu, who they share a consciousness within, the second being the odachi, which their "soul" is trapped in. Escaping by burning down the facility, they're recruited by Faust for safety and the promise to have their bodies returned. Legally they are Yoshihide, and most of the time, Yoshihide is the one controlling Ryoshu. Yuzuki is usually co-conscious and influences Ryoshu's actions, but is mostly too shy to actually do or say anything, usually only stepping in when her mother's anger gets out of control.

yuzuki thinks speaking in acronyms is cool as hell, and yoshihide wants her daughter to think she's cool so that's why she does it.

the reason ryoshu's hugging the odachi in the base art is both yoshihide imagining she's hugging yuzuki, and yuzuki imagining she's hugging yoshihide

every time ryoshu listens to dante it's because yuzuki told them to. otherwise, yoshihide would've killed a LOT more people by now.

extra: yuzuki calls them “Dante” but yoshihide calls them “Clock”

yoshihide's actually a quite caring person, but she's afraid of anyone coming close to her daughter so she's very cold to most of the sinners

yuzuki's trying to get her mother to quit smoking but it's not exactly working

+ their individual opinions on the LCB members
