Second, mothers can be given the low ponytail because it is one of a number of soft, gentle hairstyles (contrast this to styles such as a short page-boy clipped cut, or a long past hip-length luxurious cut, or spiky hair). So Akane doesn't necessarily fall within a grouping of mother figures or people fated to die any more than the following characters do: I mentioned this SE question to her and she said the hairstyle has no association other than looking gentle and seemed incredulous that someone would come up with such an idea.Ī loose braid, or two, or a single low ponytail on one side at the neck, or two low/loose pigtails, or are fairly common for contemporary pre-teen/teen girl character designs, since this is a current fashionable style among real-life Japanese pre-teens through college students.
Today I was handed this event flyer by a friend (a Japanese college student involved in subculture), which features a girl with a one-sided, front-of-the-shoulder loose braid and long bangs. This meme seems to be a conflation of two very different things.įirst, Hyakuya Akane from Owari no Seraph (the girl on the lower part of the image) does not share the low below-the-shoulder ponytail that the women in the top of the image share she has a loose braid.
