We do, Nadia has the same memories as Aiden. This is a flashback.
da Doctah
That’s not the impression I get. Nadia may remember some or most of the same events as Aidan, but she doesn’t seem to remember that she *was* once Aidan.
Jake
Obviously. But she still remembers this and she still remembers Crystal.
No guarantee’s about that
Maybe when it happened, but after years of being a soldier, and now a female, so if anything she may turn out to be very grateful
That seems highly unlikely, those soldiers didn’t take him away to be a soldier, they just took him away and he was able to return until after he became a hero.
Yes, she’s happier as Nadia, but then she thinks she always was a woman and a lesbian.

I can see it happen as rule as funny, due to the fairy wanting her “explosion of breasts”, and Nadia causes the breasts to shrink back down.
Guestius
Where do you believe they took Aidan? And how do you think he became a Hero?
Wait, where was it said that Nadia always believed she had been female? And that she doesn’t remember being Aidan? o_O
Jakobs
She just remembers these events as happening to her as Nadia.
My guess is Crystal ticked off the wrong caster, who put her under a curse until she apologized to everyone she had wronged. The curse probably dampened her sex drive and her ability to make people miserable herself, hence why she can charm faeries (and asks them to mess with people for her).
Odds are the faerie has fallen in love with the personality she got from the curse, and she’ll be in for a rude awakening once it’s broken and Crystal can act like her old self again.
So, we begin to understand Crystal’s pathology. A deep rooted body image issue – this is not uncommon, and is why there is a large cosmetic surgery market.
This is surely not the only incident that caused her issues, but does help us understand why she is the way she is.
Yeah, that’s a pretty radical assumption. It’d be impossible to separate the existence of one from the other. Poor self-esteem is a fundamental part of the human condition.
Did it ever occurred to anybody that the big cruel secret of Crystals change is: She grew up from being a brat to a decent person? 😀
Its not her fault the fairys got attracted to her; thats whatever is in the fairys nature. And the wild stuff happening was the fairys being fairys trying to impress their “best fried” who for all we know just did not knew better. See it her way: One day a fairy pops up in front of her trying to be her best friend; that does not require her knowing the reasons or pulling malicious plans.
I’ll re-read but right from memory I cannot even remember adult C pulling off some intentional evil stuff, just kid C; and kids doing mean and evil stuff is not that unheard of.

So the answer is yes, Aidan/Nadia does hate Crystal.
TJgalon
well Aidan maybe, but Nadia, we do not know yet

Go back to Aiden first became Nadia.
Ogre
No possible grudge there
Anonymous
That seems like a very long time to hold a grudge. People need to learn to let things go.
Zmar
Not when it can cause fairy mischief.
Gallstone
Childhood trauma leaves lasting scars.
Jake
Not really. Seems like the perfect amount of time to hold a grudge.
JSmith
And that’s how she got giant boobs!
Oberon
Boom!
Gallstone
Yeah, that’d cause some ill feeling.
SpankyMcFly
Sigh…SMH.
SpankyMcFly
12 weeks +/- now. PG-13 strip. R adds full of plastic and fake…sorry, now I am complaining. hope it changes soon. I love this strip.
Mike
Anyone else find it unusual that Young Crystal is clearly interested in being kissed, but Adult Crystal’s sex drive is (nearly) dormant?
Jaycee
Looks like someone’s paying attention. 🙂
–Jaycee
“I’m doing it.”
Lurker
maybe something to do with her compulsive need to apologize?
Gallstone
It did surprise me…
Curious to see the explanation, and hopeful it wasn’t just to “steal” him from Heather.

That’ll do it/
Bitter_Arron
I have to wonder when Aidan is going to come back, or is Nadia apparently his permanent form now? If so that does seem a little harsh.
Guestius
Nadia is permanent, she had the chance to go back and turned it down
Jakobs
More importantly, Nadia is happier as a woman.

So, we begin to understand Crystal’s pathology. A deep rooted body image issue – this is not uncommon, and is why there is a large cosmetic surgery market.
This is surely not the only incident that caused her issues, but does help us understand why she is the way she is.
Hypnotic Dreams
The cosmetic industry created the body image issue; not the other way around.
Jaycee
To assume it’s all one way or the other is likely an oversimplification of the real factors at work.
–Jaycee
“I’m doing it.”
Azkins
I get all my cosmetics from Fairy Kay. Maybe it’s my body image, maybe it’s fable-line.
Pry
Yeah, that’s a pretty radical assumption. It’d be impossible to separate the existence of one from the other. Poor self-esteem is a fundamental part of the human condition.
Guestius
Looks like Aidan just got press-ganged, and after years of thinking how great his life turned out can finally thank Crystal
Jakobs
I doubt it.
Guestius
Why?
Jakobs
Because that’s clearly not the case.
Guestius
Actually, that is the case

Careful, you may attract the Crystal-smashers
Jakobs
Except we know that’s not true since she was treating the Faeries as slaves and present day Crystal has been body shaming and bullying other women.
So no, she’s not nice.
anifreik
At least they were well mannered, polite henchmen…
