I dont know who the character with the witch hat is. Maybe the artist?

She is a character from the manga "Maou-Jou de Oyasumi". She is an elder demonic witch called Silkmoth. Surprisingly, in a dire contrast to her name, she's actually a moth monstergirl, and she's famed for being merciless, brutal, bloodythirsty, and weave extremely strong magic that leaves mortals petrified.
In truth, she's an adorable dork that was a very close friend (or enemy? Hard to tell) to the Princess' grandmother, and she'd routinely get teased by her, try to come up with a spell to impress, and get teased even more with tea and biscuits, until she made a weaving tool, claimed that whoever prickled their finger on it would sleep a hundred years, and she got chased by an angry mob with tears in her eyes and made it to the demon world Makai. Truth is, she bollocked it all, the prickle would only put someone to sleep for like 24 hours or so. And also she's so scared of the princess' grandmother that when the princess, to faff around, goes all "silk-chaaaan", the poor child passes out on the spot, still standing.

IMO the biggest obstacle from them becoming a thing in Uma at this point is not whether their connections would allow the uma treatment (especially now that Yutaka showed up wearing Odou's silk in the most recent Uma commercial), but that their contemporary is still an active racehorse.

Well, there's also whether Ask is going to be a thing or not...

I once back-of-napkin-calculated that these things should easily be able to contain a crew of 2 billion, just in terms of space. That's after taking into consideration that the engines and other such systems may take up a great deal of additional of space that's not the case in real warships.
Of course, the official crew numbers are something in the area of 200.000. But I prefer my numbers, they just seem more 40k.

What's so happy about it? Last I heard you guys were waist deep in shitsville.

And yet there's thousands of foreigners enjoying themselves in America currently and discovering no, it's not a shithole. Just because there's shitty people in charge doesn't mean everyone in the country sucks. The people are what's worth celebrating.
