I think Athena is black and not tan because UVA rays get blocked out by the global dust storms in the sky on mars.
I think that's brown, not black.
How much ribs and cornbread did she eat in the manga and anime?

You need to check your eyes OP, she is clearly brown.
>>156792293
Ah yes, I remember the dust storm episodes of Aria

Aria doesn't take place in the sky

He means that she appears very pale, like a person on Earth would appear if they never got any sunlight at all
Therefore if she got any sunlight with UV rays, she would appear even darker and thus black

The Mars of Aria has extensive bodies of water.

>black skin is caused by uv light
you learned evolution in Texas didn't you?
>>156794168
No but even black people will appear less black if they don't get any sun
>>156794274
Isn't that the same thing as tanning though?
>>156794168
UVs activate melanin pigment already present in the upper skin cells and activate enzymes that produce melanin.

Me too, they were truly the most healing episodes of the series.
>>156793008
I don't know. How many did you eat?

>by the global dust storms in the sky on mars.
The planet's been fully terraformed, and even has artificial gravity to put it at 1g. She's Mediterranean and spends most of her day outside rowing a boat, of course she'll be dark skinned.

epic!
Why did her VA have to die ;_;
>>156792293
I thought that was always the case. Else every undine in the show would have the same color.
>>156798375
Her singing voice too. Not even World Masterpiece Theater protagonists meet this much tragedy.
>>156798375
Everybody dies at some point, and 10 years is a pretty long timespan.

Cried like a baby when I watched the new OVA and at the end she sang Lumis Eterne, I felt empty inside when it was over.
