Hello. I’m a new person considering applying next time and I had a couple of questions.
I was thinking of Shuurei from Saiunkoku Monogatari, which has 3 versions of canon: light novels, anime, and manga. I know the series mainly through the anime version but is it okay to also use bits from the novels and manga to supplement that? The novels include a few books which go beyond the anime’s end but aren’t licensed in English so my knowledge is limited to what summaries and fan translations I can find. The manga isn’t nearly as far along but includes a few side stories which weren’t in the anime. For example, Shuurei’s mother was an immortal with healing powers that sealed herself inside her sickly young daughter so that she would become healthy and live longer. This is implied in the anime but it’s not confirmed until the later light novels and there’s the additional info that the seal has been breaking, causing Shuurei’s life to run out quickly as a result.
And is it okay to bring her in from an earlier point than Ryuuren (the other Saiunkoku character who’s already in the game)? I was considering when she blacked out after the two of them and a couple of other characters went over a waterfall but Ryuuren went into the game from a somewhat later point.
