I see, it's a fairly weird way to refer to them then. Considering that not even the witches themselves started off with those traits but gained them through their life experiences.

Reinhard refers to whomever/whatever that gives him his blessings as a she when talking to Subaru, though. So either Od Laguna is their world's equivalent of our mythology's Gaia (Mother of all life in mythology, personification of Earth, a Goddess) or Reinhard has a habit of giving genders to genderless things... the latter is pretty unlikely.

Re:Zero's sytem of destiny confuses me. Alot of set-up of this fantasy world reminds me of Dungeons & Dragons and the world being flat could very well be a reference to table-top roleplaying games of the same kind. But it's late and I'm tired, I probably shouldn't try coming up with theories when my brain refuses to think rationally.

PS: Wouldn't it be funny if the entire story turns out be Subaru having been Do or Dare'd into an unfair Dungeons & Dragons game? The author did give us a spin-off story (if I recall correctly) with Subaru being an ordinary highschooler and Emilia being a transfer student.

I'd crack a chuckle.
