Lu and Demi - sisters or friends?

[electricia]

That's a question I ask myself from the very beginning when I saw the show in Berlin: are Bombalurina and Demeter sisters or just good friends? I suppose them to be older and younger sisters, you can see Lu standing pretty protective on Demeter's side but I'm sure as an older friend Bomba would do the same if she knew the bad luck Demeter passed through with Macavity.

And apropos Macavity - anyhow I'm annoyed when fans refer to Demeter being the one who got taken in by Macavity. I'm mean Lu seems to share almost the same knowledge about Macavity what consequently means that she needed to be with him for some while ...

Please tell me what you think about that. I need any discussion about both now!^^

It depends on which show you see - sometimes Lu and Dem look really similar. From the video, I can't see those two being any way related.
I agree, the protective behavior of Lu could be sisterly or just from a best friend, it's really hard to tell.
I know! This Macavity issue annoys me. The stories always say Dem was captured and told Lu, or they were both captured and Dem was treated worse... couldn't it just be they served the same fate, but Dem just isn't as strong as her sister/friend?

To me, they could be either, but I prefer them to be sisters.

And about that Macavity thing...I had a conviction before I started on fanfic that Bomba was the one to go through the abuse, etc. with him. Now I'm convinced that they both did, but Bomba's was much worse. And, yes, I think she's the type who could withstand and endure a bit more than Deme.

Thank you both!

Hihi, then my fanfic 'Past Shadows' ((pretty close to the relationships on this board and to Lu's history in her bio by the way ;D)) won't get nice feedback by English fans ;D At least I doubt it; it's about Bombalurina and Demeter who got deceived by Macavity and maltreated/abused extremely bad and wanted to flee. Of course captured again Lu was beat up, blackmailed with Demeter's life and finally raped. 9 months later Jemmie was born ...

Because both sisters ((in my fanfic they're sisters)) were seperated often in Macavity's imprisonment Lu doesn't know what happened to Demeter very often; could be better or worse

Mhm, maybe right because she lived through worse treatment than Demi Lu seems to be stronger ... *shrugs*

I would say they are sisters. I mean, I agree with what you say that the protectiveness she seems to show could go either way, but she also seems to know and understand Dem and what's she's thinking surrounding the Macavity issue, so I always assumed they were family.

And I think they both had their own run-ins with Macavity. Knowing Macavity, they were probably both mistreated, but perhaps dealt with it differently. In the song, it almost seems as if Bomba remembers Macavity fondly through part of it (not sure why) so maybe they're relationship was different? Not sure, but I see no reason why Demeter necessarily had anything worse happen to her than Bomba.

That could be another opportunity. Lu sings quite passionate about him while Demi just is always ... skittish^^

Well I always saw them realated somehow, I saw them as half sisters, so they have different Dad's.

I actually believe that Demeter had gotten the worst of it, she seems to be very traumatized by the incident, but Bombalurina, you could never tell that she had been maltreated (althought she probably had been, but not as bad as Demeter). And I also believe that Demeter and Macavity had Jemima, although there is no evidence of that for sure, just my beliefs.

Ohh and about Demeter and Bombalurina being sisters -- either or. I am completely unsure.
