Just some thoughts about Road
I just realized something, while thinking about the last novel. It may not be much, but I'd still like to share to know your opinions. It's not really a theory, just some thoughts about certain things that keep bugging me.
I haven't read the novel, of course, only the summaries offered by kind![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
leafyaki, but though it wasn't directly stated anywhere, I think it's strongly implied that the 14th's full human name was “Allen Walker.” Even if it wasn't, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that it's not just some random name crazy!Mana loved and gave to children/pets he liked, and it's most certainly related to the 14th, the Noahs and the main plot.
There is definitively something strange with the Earl and Mana, so strange I won't even try to make a theory out of it. What is sure is that his memories on the matter are a little foggy, and judging from his behavior I think we can say he doesn't or at least didn't remember the name's (possible) importance.
Still.
Look at this.
Did Road REALLY think there was nothing strange at all with an Exorcist named “Allen Walker” that can see akuma? Really?
Maybe she even knew his “father's” name, which I think the Earl knew and possibly told her (on higher quality scans you can actually read “Mana Walker” on the cross), and I would assume that she knew Mana's weird story at least to some extent.
She is the only Noah who survived the 14th, and apparently the only one to actually remember everything (except, maybe, Wisely). I daresay that she's one if not the most well-informed character in the whole series. She even seems to know why Tyki looks like the 14th (or like a younger Mana?), and she wants to keep it a secret for some reason.
She is not as childish as she first seemed to be, at all, and I think that even when she's being sadistic she has a more detached view over the situation than, say, Tyki. As if she perfectly knew what she was doing. If you ask me, she may enjoy being cruel, but most of the time she has an actual purpose for being so, too.
Back to Rewinding Town. Lero said he didn't know why she was there. Apparently she didn't tell the Earl or anybody else, just like she and Tyki didn't tell the Earl about their little game with the Exorcists while the Ark was being “downloaded.”
Surely Allen, Lenalee and Miranda weren't enough of a threat at the time, and she could have easily killed one of them if that was her goal. And yes, I first thought she might have been there just out of boredom, but she's smarter than that and isn't it too much of a coincidence? Of all Noahs, of all Exorcists, of all the places in the world?
What's more, all she did there in the end was dressing up Lenalee, nailing Miranda on her own clock, and, well, meeting Allen and stabbing his left eye with a candle. Which evolved some chapters later (“The darkness has returned…”) and seems to be connected to his Noah's form, somehow, as we saw from the last few chapters.
What if she went there just to, you know, make the Noah wake up faster, somehow? She seems to be very loyal to the Earl, and yet why did the 14th spare her? What if Neah really doesn't want to hurt the Earl? Obvious questions are too much obvious?
I think there were even some crack theories about what she might have done to Lenalee while she and Allen were unconscious, since she began having those weird and still unexplained dreams (connected to Allen and partially to the 14th, even) shortly after that, and Road is the Noah of Dreams – but really, I won't venture in there yet because it's just confusing and I haven't much to offer aside from some suspicious covers and “durr durr sometimes they wear the same clothes but in reverse colors durr.”
… Okay, I don't know. She looked surprised when Allen's sword turned out just like the Earl's, so maybe she really doesn't know anything. But. But still.
I'm aware this doesn't make a lot of sense, nor it adds anything significant to what we know, and I know I'm reading way too much in far too few pages, but we've known Road for so long and she's still such a mysterious character…
Does someone have any good theory about her? D: I'd like to read them.

There is a theory I saw somewhere that Allen is an anagram of "Nea II". Can't say if it's true or not, but it might be possible.

Ack, so many possibilities DDD:
