First, here's to Whirlwind, because it was here first. I thought I'd never find a Talim shrine anywhere! And I was so happy to find that it was awesome! ^^

Many of my images come from the indefatigable Google, tireless search engine of justice. Without Google, I probably would have tanked days ago. However, I can't forget Wikipedia, the surprising source of a tonnage of Talim information. Then there's the inevitable thank you to soulcalibur.com for being so in-depth...and wow! GameFAQS! Thank you, thank you, thank you for GameFAQs. I used these guides in my all-inclusive Talim research: click, click, click, and click.

Tamura Yukari info from here, and Julie Parker info from here.

Jason, thank you always and forever for having the foresight to code a Japanese to HTML Converter. I would have died a fiery death without it O_O That, and the Japanese quotes would be devoid of all Hiragana.

Duh, a lot of credit goes to NAMCO, many built-in game features (the weapon gallery, Talim's profile, etc), and the official NAMCO SCIII website for Soul Calibur III info.

I will be vain now and credit myself for a couple hours spent painstakingly typing out weapon descriptions, listening to Talim say the same phrase over and over again in order to write down the Japanese, writing creative Talim profiles, an entire day at the office finding Talim sources (don't worry, we're never busy anyway), studying concept art to draw her outfits for the appearance analysis.........aaahhh. So much work O_O So you better not steal it, b*tches!

Last, thanks for loaning me the game, Ben. ^^
