<p>In G-Senjou no Maou, Kanon is a world-class figure skater. However, at different points in the story, when asked if she enjoys figure skating, she speaks ambiguously or dodges the question. It's implied at times that she is only doing it because her mother wants her to, but at other times she seems to like it.</p>

<p>What are Kanon's real feelings about figure skating? Is she continuing to pursue it for herself or for the interests of others?</p>
