For a water elemental, he's very angular. At least, with the shading I think he's a water elemental.
This is incredibly optimistic, but maybe he's trying to coax the elemental out of her?

Well really Annie. You are confronting a spirit trapped here for centuries specifically to prevent people crossing the waters. What did you THINK was going to happen?

Can't expect him to talk much, really, after HOW many centuries down there?
And Annies own fire-mental ist not much one for talking either, after all.

"The Keymaster, you say? Well it just so happens I'm here with the Gatekeeper! We should get these two together!" "That would be extraordinarily bad." |

I wonder if maybe this hostility stems from the fact that elf-guy is a water elemental vs Annie's fire elemental. Something that the 'crew' haven't accounted for/didn't know. After all, most common mistakes are the simplest ones ;v

What page did we find out that elf guy was a water elemental and not just an elf?

I wonder how aware of the events that lead to him being trapped there is he. I mean one moment he's swimming across the river to Jeanne, then sudden arrow and then pain and death. He may even think Jeanne is somehow complicit in his fate seeing as he was going to meet her when he was killed.
Maybe he's every bit the rage ghost she is.

Weird as it sounds, I'm wondering if this isn't as bad as it seems. Pure speculation, but maybe he can sense it was Jeanne that cut Annie's cheek and wants to get a closer look.

Hostile or curious? Also, Annie went into the ether to enter the arrow. I suspect - rather than Jeanne's lover being a water elemental - this is how elf-kin look in the ether much like we learned from *sniffles* that fairy-kin look very different in the ether from how post migration hollow fairies at the court do and from how they look in our world. |

Annie: "Aww! He wants a hug. That's so- Wait..."
He may merely think she's with the Court. Once she goes Flame On, he may stop and start thinking Annie's with the Forest. Does she have any indication of being Forest Medium, other than Coyote's "thumbs up"? Now would be a good time to show here Etheric Forest Badge.

Ah, yes, the most effective means of looking at a person. By choking them and dragging them toward you by your grip. Truly in his vast amount of time spent in that arrow (could even have been a week!) he's learned the deepest, darkest secrets about socializing. Still, you could be right. If he's interested in an etheric sword slash, Annie's the only sample in the entire Court to work with. |

If it is true, that might mean elfy's "mortal" side is well and gone, and all that remains is the counterpart to Annie's not-too-eloquent elemental side. But they should ultimately get along. |

Nice emblems on the chest someone recon it? You know, I'm probably just hampered by screen resolution, but that looks a little like a bismuth symbol instead of a heart. I'm pretty sure that's just a contour line around the little dip between clavicles. I still think this is the case. |

I just don't see it, lover boy is most likely big and scary through some function of the arrow rather than being part elemental, but I've been wrong about plot twists before. |

I mean we recently saw what fairies look like in the ether, surely elves can have weird etheric forms too? EDIT: Although looking at it again, there's definitely something watery about the way light reflects off of his form and it splashes towards Annie and flows around her throat. Perhaps water elemental is jumping to conclusions, though - maybe the arrow bound his soul to the Annan Waters themselves? |

Yeah, I'm more inclined to believe "bound to the river" than "(part) water elemental."
He struck at mention of Jeanne - I suspect he's trying to protect her. After all, etheric talent aside, Annie's clearly from the Court.

...Hey, did Tom ever explicitly say that it was Jeanne who was stopping anyone from crossing the Annan Waters?
What if... What if it's been the green guy all along?
Then...
Maybe Jeanne wasn't a sacrifice.
Maybe she was just the bait.
Diago's actions make a lot more sense now... He didn't expect Jeanne to die, only her lover.

Alright, I think this is just curiosity from green Elf Guy, because, you know, he looks like a dog, head inclined on the side, and the general posture that says he's cool. And what said Nnelg just above could absolutly be right ! Imagine if Jeanne, angry and terribly hurt by her lover's death in front of her just refused to get back up ? She attacked everybody that went down to rescue her, and died because she didn't want to live anymore...

Maybe Jeanne wasn't a sacrifice. Maybe she was just the bait. Diago's actions make a lot more sense now... He didn't expect Jeanne to die, only her lover.Jeanne was the one destroying the camera, and she hurt Annie when she first was down in the gorge. The Anwyn only appeared when Annie touched the arrow, in etheric state. Jeanne's the one with sword fighting skills (although it's totally possible the Anwyn has powers we don't know about). And Jeanne is the one that the ROTD can't access in their records. I think it's a fair assessment to say Diego was a butt and knew he was having her killed (note the smile in panel 3) for not... "loving" him back. But who knows! Maybe Steadman was supposed to shoot Jeanne (strangely no one watched him shoot the arrow, since he was asked if he "hit the target"), and Jeanne becoming a vengeful ghost was a side effect. Such plot-heavy pages those are! |

I thought it looked like the end of the arrow, myself. Yeah, I'm more inclined to believe "bound to the river" than "(part) water elemental." I dunno, it's not as if having elemental heritage would be weird for a forest denizen. Really, I bet it's quite common, especially since you only seem to need an elemental vaguely somewhere in your family tree to qualify. Annie's got her fire heritage, after all, and she's at least a generation removed from direct elemental descent, and presumably several. Also, the thought just occured to me: was the whole creation-of-Jeanne thing only a conspiricy of the court? Could the forest have been in on it, too? The court knew elf-guy would turn up down there, and even knew roughly what time he was going to appear, which suggests to me something got pre-arranged. And since Coyote apparently made the divide, he wouldn't be averse to more barriers being put up; Jeanne attacks court and forest indiscriminately, so it's just as much protection for them as it is for the court. |

Also, no reason not to think that the Anwen, being truly of the forest (we've even been told that none of them have ever done the court exchange program like the fairies and animals have) don't look very different in the ether much like true fairies (ala *sniffles*) and Annie's own elemental side when we see it as distinct from her. |
