Kiddy Grade 2 is coming. Apparently Eclair and Lumiere are being replaced with a suspiciously similar duo. Eclair’s replacement is apparently named Que-Feuilles. I stuck this shot together from a slow pan in the recent trailer, decided to trace it. I’m a big fan of Megumi Kadonosono’s design work despite the fact she lacks a bit of variation and I enjoyed most of Kiddy Grade, so I’m really looking forward to KG2 when it starts.
I have no idea what her name is supposed to mean. It’s some bizzare faux-French thing. At least Eclair was a real word - lightning - though as a name it’s usually given to boys. That said, it always made me think of tasty cream filled treats (I would happily help with the cream filling if you know what I mean :V)
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
I suspect this will remain my wallpaper for months.
As a Francophone, I can attest Que-Feuilles sounds awkward.
“Que” is a very versatile word: it can be a relative pronoun (Cette chose que je fais.=This thing that I do.), an interrogative pronoun (Que se passe-t-il?=What is going on?) or a conjunction (whether, than…) Not including the compound forms.

“Feuilles” is leaves (or sheets of paper)
Together, it could mean something like “So many leaves” or “Only leaves”, albeit very awkward or archaic.
Prior to the article in Newtype USA I thought the name might be “Coup Fille”. NTUSA have been wrong before so there’s no guarantee that Que Feuilles is actually correct, but it is the closest to official we have at the moment.
