| Watching lots of animes and searching a few things on the internet, I learned that talking about yourself in third person is considered childish and/or eccentric. Dunno about the slow talking. I'd say it also means the character is somewhat childish or slow. It's just my guess tho. |

H_A_R_M said: i have no idea what ur friend said, could you perhaps translate, i still stand by what I've said. You have no idea what she said but you be talking like you know what Japanese people say... The distance between Kana (her name) and Kiran is wider than the one between Kiran and Itsuko (my name) |

I won't show the whole private conversation but basically she is talking about how I an European born is closer to another European born than she is. |

You said nobody use their own name to talk about themselves in Japanese. I show you you are wrong. I only translated the message because you asked. |

Most of the time it's used in order to sound a little bit childish (which is somehow linked to cuteness in Japan it seems) However sounding childish too much make the speaker sounds immature and dumb so it's better to avoid it in most cases. (To build Bashame's character of slow thinking girl it's the perfect way of speaking) |

| I think she’s just dumb/slow. Talking in third person is a common trope in a lot of media, Japanese or otherwise, to express unintelligence. |
| dont think she's using native accent or any accent in particular. The character is just slow and childish therefore she's using easy to comprehend japanese to emphasize her character. im still learning japanese, correct me if im wrong |

| Moeko in BokuYaba also refers to herself as Moe, I understand it as a cutesy affectation reflecting her playful personality. |
