Minions? :huh:
This was brought up in the old thread. I have no objection to it, but I'd like to point some things out:
1.) Whoever it is, they won't be in the harem. Just like all the annoying "Ranma gets locked and falls in love" stories, I couldn't justify that sort of change. Assuming Orihime does it, it would be in body only, not in mind (or, if you prefer, she alters everything but their sexual orientation).
Also, the harem will be big enough as-is.
2.) Unless the person in question really, really annoys her, the only reason she'd do it would be if the person would be better off as a woman (or girl), or if being female would somehow help her or Ichigo.
Or if she just feels like it. No reason to pretend she wouldn't do it randomly just because.
Outside that, I'm open to suggestions. At the moment, I'm considering Byakuya, but that could change. I'm tempted to try fem!Kenpachi, just because. Knowing him, it wouldn't even phase him. Hell, he might not even notice. Cue all the captains and vice-captains deciding to draw straws to decide who gets to 'inform' him that he is, in fact, a girl.
But it's still up in the air, so if you want to suggest someone for gender swappage, then by all means.

It'd be entertaining to see how Hantaro would take it. Maybe Orihime thinks it would help him with his confidence issue?
True, but a major part of Ichigos development as a character (as well as the maturation of his powers) relies on him going specifically to get Orihime back.
Perhaps psycho!Orihime knows that, and decides to allow her to be kidnapped? After all, it's not like anything bad could happen. She knows that between herself, Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu, they have more than enough power to get Orihime back. And if worst comes to worst and someone gets killed, she can just bring them back.
Probably a mix of all of that. She's spent so much time living events over and over again, I doubt she's given much thought about what will happen once she finally gets what she's after.
For starters, I doubt she would ever truly rest as long as Aizen is alive. There's the fact that he can flawlessly fake his own death, so there's definitely a sense of paranoia as well, even after he dies.
When everything is over. . . she would probably be in some sort of denial. After all, she's been trying for it for so long, it can't actually be over, right?
After she comes to grips with having actually won. . . she would probably break down.
And yes, she would probably become a bit saner. Not by a whole lot, but she'd definitely calm down. After, of course, she gets over the fact that Bad Things<sup>TM</sup> aren't going to happen. I see all kinds of sheneganins on her end while adjusting, like booby trapping Ichigos room from floor to ceiling with lethal and semi-lethal traps and pitfalls. Cue Isshin charging in to wake Ichigo up, only to get shot at by a chain gun that comes out of one of the ceiling tiles.
That's quite all right. I enjoy answering questions, and it helps me hammer out my idea. By all means, ask away.

, but I must say, solid work so far. :yay:
