Kumori's Identity (Spoilers)

[Mpol]

Just reading up on WoJ, great reading by the way.
It is mentioned by Jim we will see Faith again in an event that kicks off the final trilogy...
Just had a thought, what if Faith is Kumori? Could there be a valid connection between the two? Kumori is young... but quite powerful. How many years prior did Welcome To The Jungle happen before Dead Beat? 6, maybe 7? Would this make Faith still very young? And if it is Faith, why the name Kumori?

Faith is one of the suspects for Kumori.  Restoration of Faith occurred 2 to 3 years prior to SF.  So, Faith would be almost 20 by the time of DB. My personal opinion is that Faith is Elaine. But, there are other theories....

[raidem]

You mean kumori is Elaine.

[Arjan]

You mean kumori is Elaine.

Not your theory. There is no time travel in it.

Raidem was proofreading my post. I meant Kumori is Elaine. Sorry, typing whilework-tired, sleep-deprived, and drinking wine does not make for accuracy. Thanks for autocorrect, Raidem.

He was just pointing out a mistake, and was correct.

Ah, I trust he will bring us his Kumori time travel theory later

Actually the theory has been made, I believe.  I don't know if he came up with it, or I came up with it, or someone else did.

I believe the theory was Kumori is Maggie from the future...  It actually could make sense if she, or Harry (if he were Cowl) started playing around with time travel to alter the past to prevent something really bad from happening in the future.  I think one of the things of evidence (I'm fuzzy on this and may be making it up in my own head) was that Cowl/Kumori repaired little Chicago from blowing Harry's head off, as that has never been explained.

Nah, Kumori is actually Molly from an aborted timeline that never became Winter Lady. Instead she travelled back to Harry's youth to become his childhood Sweetheart Elaine, and following the events of DB travelled back even furthur, meeting Malcolm and becoming Maggie Sr.

Somehow.

[raidem]

My time traveling angle with kumori is that she is Maggie Sr timehopping into different times, alternate realities with cowl.  So, kumori would stumble upon in one of these forays a future that gives her hope, desire to turn against her master.

It also may be why her gem she left to Harry will have more relevance later.  Harry once he starts his time and dimension hopping will be using the map of the nevernever to find important
Links that can increase his chance of success.

I alwyas saw Elaine as a more lithe, tall lady.  Molly is written like. a built likr Charity  character.

[Ananda]

Kumori is Lydia who is the time travelling daughter of time travelling Molly and time travelling Marcone.

[wardenferry419]

That is unlikely. Molly has better taste; that is why she favors Harry.

[raidem]

Lydia was being sacrificed at the masquerade that cowl and kumori was attending.
