As I was rereading Ishibumi's response to questions, I got curious at the short story titled Cross×Crisis. So I searched for it and luckily I easily found it and boy was it awesome.

The story is about Irina and Xenovia's first encounter and is told in Irina's perspective and here are the important things and what happened.


 * Irina was given the holy factor at the age of fourteen.
 * She was scared of Xenovia when she first met her.
 * They were forced to fight as that was the fastest way to understand each other.
 * Xenovia was happy that she met a girl her age that wasn't immediately cut down for the first time.
 * Xenovia still has LONG HAIR!
 * Xenovia said it doesn't matter whether her hair is long or short as long as it doesn't hinder her fighting capability.
 * Irina said that even so, she should still give it importance as she is a girl.
 * They were tasked to kill a vampire that already killed three magicians.
 * Irina was still hesitant in killing unlike Xenovia.
 * On this fight Xenovia's hair was grabbed by the Vampire that turned into smoke.
 * Irina helped her to get free of it.
 * Xenovia then used Durandal to defeat the Vampire, destroying lots of things in the process.
 * She was later scolded by Griselda as she used Durandal without permission.
 * The next day Xenovia was seen with short hair.

Here's the best one. I know lots of people wondered why Xenovia has a green fringe in the earlier illustrations but not on the later ones.

The reason is "Xenovia dyed/streaked a part of her hair green for fashion. Of course it would be removed as time passed by and Xenovia not streaking it again."
