Elaine / Kumori thought

[jonas]

Me too. Until further info becomes available that is my go-to theory.

Na, though i'd stay on the ID connection, and point out Harry's Id is precisely as MM's Harry looks... So maybe Elaine's ID has the same mirroring (which makes Alt Harry Elaine the perps?)

Simon is dead.

I go for the merlin and ancient mai. That is a better choice because they are both still living.

About as likely as any others, I suppose.

Dead is a very flexible term in the Dresdenverse.

[Snark Knight]

Isn't Warden Yoshimo(?) a female, the chick Harry mails for info on her family lineage being related to royalty when he's researching the swords?

She is. But like Luccio, she was wounded to immobility right before the Darkhallow at which Kumori appeared.

Not that flexible. Returning from dead is still special. Besides he used his dead curse and that energy can only come from one place, your own spirit.

[wardenferry419]

I can't recall if that was speculated or verified.

The problem with this is that they both spent DB in Edinburgh hiding from the Rampires with the rest of the Senior Council. They didn't really have the opportunity to go cosplaying in Chicago.

Doppelganger. The real merlin and ancient mai were in Chicago.

Jim mentioned that Murphy cannot be Kumori because of her height and how Kumori held a knife to Harry's throat.

That being said, Mai isn't a really tall woman either.  So I'd say the same thing applies here.

[wardenferry419]

I remember someone, maybe Griffyn, did the math for potential height range to hold a knife to Harry's throat.

But that was all in ancient measurement like arms or toes and then I blank out. 

[wardenferry419]

It was a tough follow. I am just ballparking it as someone average female height (5'6") to under 6'0." Over 6 feet and I guess stretching would not be necessary.

[Rasins]

But bottom line is that Mai couldn't be her.

[wardenferry419]

Mai would not have taken the rebuke from Cowl that Kumori received in DB. She is all about etiquette.
