KMST 1.2.411 - Phantom

So I was thinking about it:

Does anyone else think Nexon is trying to...... "Valerie-ize" female Aran?
Valerie started off as just being the female pirate art, but as of the 8th anny , she became a low impact NPC. If we think of this with the 8th anny video, it seems a bit odd that f!Aran is the only PC character there, unless Nexon has had a plan to make her into a NPC like the rest of the dancers, and just don't know how to confront it.

They even use her with Valerie and Tanika to promote events and such.

Maha even claims Aran to be a male while playing a female character.
and
The Aran in the past is shown to be male.

Maybe they are just trying to make her some sort of NPC but having a hard time with it? They did it with Valerie, but she's an adventure and not that hard to push in there.
Just some personal thoughts on this.

Now that I am home, I can comment on the rest of the patch!

I am happiest to see Ereve playing a part in this. I can't wait for the plot!
