Is Agia a Robot?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I think we're to think that she's of Far Eastern and European ancestry, or whatever the equivalents are in that previous universe.

People were talking as if she were Asian.  I pointed out that she has other ancestry as well.  I could have been clearer.

Elsewhere, Severian refers to her eyes as "slanting." What else are we to think?
