 * *sighs*

Even though I don't think he did, how is Mashima putting together different traits of different characters "re-using character models"?? If Satsuki was exactly the same appearance-wise and personality-wise as an FT character, that would be a blatant re-use. If anything Satsuki looks like a slightly older, more outgoing Wendy to me, but even then, at least (unlike other mangakas) Mashima's characters have distinct traits and can be told apart. And that's just looks. And I don't think you can judge her personality from one chapter alone >__> I didn't find her absent-minded at all - she seemed very focussed to me, if not on weird things.

Sorry, but I just find it very rude to say that Mashima is re-using models. I mean, first of all, do you know how many characters he has had to write for Rave and FT combined?? Of course some will overlap in ways and there are only so man ways to draw eyes and hair and clothes. Mashima's always been one of the best imo at having characters that are easy to tell apart and identify, and I think that showed here.

Just a rant. Had a long day at Uni. Ignore me and go about your criticising ( -__-)~
