I am pretty sure his arms are bigger around than her torso.

Homina Homina Homina!
I'd haunt her ravine any day!

She is sad because Sir Young is away training (like Surma was sad when James went away training) and she died before he returned and now she is waiting at the ravine for eternity or until he comes home! It is the only possible explanation. I don't know. I'm not a huge fan of the "new generations mirroring the old" trick. It seems like kind of a waste of perfectly interesting characters to just make them copy characters we already know.

Yeah, all we know is that Sir Young and Jeanne have an implied connection.
But we've been given no solid details to tell us anything very specific.

Now that's one very shiny, flowing and long dress Jeanne is wearing there. Cliché association: it looks like a river. Can't help myself but think she might be nobility, maybe even royalty ("normal people" don't wear clothes like that, unless it's their wedding). But it doesn't look that extravagant. The loose fit of it makes me wonder if this isn't something more like a simple outfit you'd wear around the house where no one can see you. And we already have pictures of Jeanne in finery. She obviously held some sort of position (hence the sword). My first thought was that it looked like a wedding dress.

In all the excitement around seeing Jeann, I forgot this was the first time we've really seen the Court itself in the time when it was created. Maybe we'll get more of an idea of what it actually, you know, was.
Also, this nixes my "Jeann was the seed bismuth and they had to sacrifice her to make the Court" theory.

...because it's a robot, maybe? Still think it's a waste. How could one leave such a fine specimen there to rust? We need our iron you know.

She's French?! Don't be silly. If she were French she would be wearing a beret and be chewing on a baguette. She's obviously Canadian.

If these are memories, it's likely that there are a slew of inaccuracies, misperceptions, or perhaps a bit of symbolism.

Anything's possible, chiparoo - KingBot used the word "memory", and the fact of the matter is we just don't know enough about how Court robots work to say something like that conclusively. That said, I think you're probably right in that (if maybe not perfect?) this is a very faithful reproduction of actual events.

It's not brain memory, it's robot memory, like in your lovely computer. So it will probably only be wrong in any way if the little camera bot got a virus of some kind.

C'mon, you know there's some magic involved with Diego's robots. Certainly not any conventional engineering. They at least baffle Kat, who's pretty much a robotics genius.

Clarke's third law here, the one about "sufficiently advanced technology" being indistinguishable from magic. That said, even if magitek was used in the construction of these 'bots, I'd think that they probably still do have perfect recall, if only because camera bot retaining memories for such a long period of time wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science; any technology is indistinguishable from magic to those who don't understand it; and any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a completely ad-hoc plot device. (Paraphrased from Agatha Heterodyne, Florence Ambrose, and David Langford, respectively)
Anyway, if we are seeing memories that Cambot stored in his ROM or some other physical media (rather than being stored in some Etheric manner) that makes me wonder how much information he can store. And whether he's had to delete memories as he's aged. Given Diego's instructions to care for Jeanne, I imagine Cambot would be loathe to delete any memories of her.

How sad. Diego's love for Jeanne wasn't born from understanding, so his feelings were never able to reach her.
Ironically, his creations seem to have a better grasp on the human condition.

French Canadians does not say "eh?". (I know my share). Regardless I've always considered GKC to be placed in another world. French is thus only a symbol of her being foreign.

"Shrine" is probably a better word than "tomb" to describe the picture's setting -- Jeanne's body was undoubtedly never recovered for burial, and may have been impossible to recover. Whether Jeanne's unquiet spirit or other factors prevented this remains to be seen.
