Agreed. What was the goal renaming it to "Delicate and Sickly", which is lazily and vaguely shoving two adjectives together? 'Ill Girl' was a great title because it properly invoked an image of a frail, ailing, and graceful girl being bedridden. Now there's virtually no difference between this page and any of the other numerous disease/illness-related pages.

I am not a fan of Digital Monsters.

I think it has the focus on the wrong aspects. And it looks more like someone being ill in general.

Ah, the shortcomings of sans-serif fonts... I came here in curiosity thinking what the Hell is an III girl? (triple-ninth letter of the alphabet). Or is it a III girl? (Third girl - Roman numeral for 3).

it's an Ill girl - as in sick, unhealthy...

What we want are clear, solid examples. If this isn't one, we don't need it. If it is, it needs an unambiguous write-up.

  • Natsume Yuujinchou: The main character; not strictly of this trope, but his sensitivity to the spirits of the Youkai means multiple bouts of illness and unexplained blackouts, freeing a spirit from a contract also leaves him pretty much out of it.

I just have to say that I know it just got run together this way, but the idea of a "chew toy saint" is perfect. There are several chew toy saints in the Catholic lexicon.

Should we make a Religion category? That is a lot of saints.
