๐ฎ๐ช Reverse: 1999 - Kakania's English Voice Lines, and More! ๐ช๐ฎ
2"Now presenting "Vingler's Mirror!""
"You must see your true self."
Kakania, also known as Klara Vingler. Isolde's dear friend and doctor, is an unlicensed psychiatrist willing to help others with their struggles, whether they are mental, emotional, internal, and more. Of course, we know what happened in Chapter 6, but the good intentions are there. Kakania appeared for the first time in the 1.7 update, then became playable in 1.9, available after Lucy and despite having to compete with a Limited character like her, she definitely held her own and drew me in with both her as a character and her battle capabilities. The more time passes, the more I realise I made the right choice to spend over 70 Unilogs on her banner instead of trying to get a free Lucy copy via 200 Cassettes of the lost (200 summons). Fast forward to the present day, I can't keep Kakania out of my Mane's Bulletin teams!
As much as I want to talk about Chapter 7, I do not want to spoil that for anyone, even though the Story has been out for over a month on the EN side. It's that special imo that I don't want to spoil it for even one person. As for more spoiler-free stuff regarding Kakania, whatever flaws she may have, I do still think she is a wonderful character, and I really do like her relationship with Isolde, even if certain lines of Kakania's detail how she cannot interact with her anymore, such as the Bond: Morning line:
"Did you hear that? It's her. Singing...So she hasn't stopped...Does she still have nightmares, I wonder? Or tremors and convulsions? Sorry. That was inappropriate...I know, I'll only make things worse if I meet her now, unless I knew how to change her condition ... but I don't, at least not for now."
One thing we learn in life is that nobody is perfect. We always knew this applied to humans, but it sounds like the same thing for arcanists as well, meaning Kakania must know what this is like. Of course, there is nothing we can do to change past situations when they go wrong, but it's less about the past and more about the present and future, as Kakania says in her Monologue Line:
"Everyone has their own duty; her, the people of Vienna, you, and me. I must get back on my feet and move on...This is the only path for me, after the catastrophes that I have caused."
Other than those, Kakania does have more great voice lines, and this is supported by the voice work of Aidan Dawn! Fun fact, she also voices Voyager too, you learn something new ever day! The awesome lines with Kakania conveying all kinds of emotions, such as empathetic, to flustered, to sad, to even slightly quippy like with one of her Select Incantation Lines: "Oh please, I know how to use it!", and it really does feel like Kakania's personality shines through, whatever the situation and whatever is spoken!
For garments and design, well firstly, Kakania's design is amazing in my opinion! Before going into garments, I absolutely adore how Kakania's head slightly tilts to her right/our left a little in her L2D Animation, it's such a neat and small quirk about her, small things like that which make her stand out. As for the iconic default garment, the massive, dark green hat, the suit in a similar colour, such a great look! Meanwhile, it seems like Kakania has gone for another look in her Insight II one, where the funny hat isn't worn and she just wears a brighter top with an overall design that seems to be abandoning the look that most likely resembles those times in Vienna, in Chapter 6, those past events with Isolde. And of course, the full Insight II art, all those mirrors, and unless I'm mistaken, it looks like there are also silhouettes of both Isolde and Kakania in them, as our psychiatrist walks down the stairs and moves on to a brighter future...

The next one of these videos will be for Semmelweis, but after that, I will have Lorelei, then Pickles next, who I am looking forward to as well. I don't know who will be next after that, but I suppose we'll just have to see...
