Hm... who is Arika's dad?(In the anime not the manga)

It never says, all we know is that Arika's mom had 'single mom' status, so we presume he's either dead or simply left. Considering everything that has to happen to convince an Otome to give up her position ie: have sex, we can assume it's not the latter, but the how and why of the former seems equally unlikely.

Of course I could be wrong, could just e it was never deemed important to show him, who knows

I think he died fighting to protect Rena... that would be good rather than just "left".

True but the 'warm fuzzy ending' or in this case, background, might not be the way to go. Otome and its predecessor Mai HiME aren't exactly happy tales for the most part, even the endings have a certain bitterness; the uncertainty and uncomfortable nature of Natsuki/Shizuru's dynamic at the end of HiME, or the bittersweet irony of Nina finally get Sergay all to herself only to find he no longer remembers her, and then of course there is Akane's enforce Meister status, something she quite clearly claims she plans to abandon the moment they let their guard down and stop watching her if not before should she be able to pull it off.

It would be a fun tale to be made into a short special wouldn't it lol Watching Akane attempt to sneak away and into her Boyfriend's bedroom so she can anull her Meister contract with all the other Meister Otome looking for her lol

I don't think a Nina after series special would be all that fun. She may be one of my favourite characters and all, but the way the series ended, any special centred around her would deal mainly with taking care of Sergay, and trying to make him remember her/fall for her.

Yeah, not hilarious I guess... but more to drama.

Agreed it would be something dramatic and heavily shoujo based, perhaps even a little tragic if by the end he still doesn't remember her.
