Did Curly have amnesia? Or, are we talking about when she drowned and lost her memory?
Curly had some kind of amnesia before the drowning :
From the Wii TL :
I'm Curly Brace.
I've been with these little-
ones since before I can-
remember.
I don't recall anything-
before that...
Apparently, it's so-called-
memory loss.
I may have been a Mimiga-
killer, just like the other-
robots...
Some reason she knew her name, had general common knowledge, had basic skills, language, fighting abilities all intact. She woke up with the little Mimiga children and raised them under the assumption that she might have been a Killer Robot, but does not want to hurt any Mimigas.
This is demonstrated two-fold when she drowns and loses her memories of fighting through the labyrinth with Quote... she awakens and recognizes Mimigas, but not Quote...
Quote on the other hand PROBABLY has amnesia... but he never actually talks, so we can only assume it's true. (Seems to be the case from what Ctuhulu says...)
It does make it easy to put the player in Quote's shoes though, since the events that unfold are all new to you (and apparently him), and you act accordingly.
When Curly eats the memory mushroom, she is able to recall an unspecified amount of history ...
Quote!!
Now I remember!
Your name's Quote!
You and I are...
Well...
Quote and Curly could have just been created for the sole purpose the mission... But, just because she jumps to what's important to the game doesn't mean she could have a lot longer history. Her dialogue only states they were sent on this mission, rather than created for this mission.
And ...
But that was simply the-
beginning of the tragedy.
The man who was able to-
capture the crown turned-
the Mimiga into beasts,
and they began attacking-
the surface.
I faced him and tried my best-
to defeat him.
You were with me then.
.....
That's all I can remember.
The crown bearer was-
surely injured by both our-
attacks that time.
How about you?
Can you recall something?
Anything?
Is where Curly's memories end. So something must have happened during the battle against the previous Crown bearer...
It IS interesting that when Curly wakes up she cannot remember Quote and the kind of person she was, but she can remember liking the Mimigas and disliking other killer robots.
What could that mean?
