mllelaurelFive Rumors About L That Persist at Wammy's (Death Note)
1. Enough of the teachers are still working operatives, at least part time, so there's always speculation about whether one of them is secretly L. Logic's against it - L's way too busy and too all-over-the-place to hold down a second job. Then again, he is L. Popular vote's on the history teacher, Ms. Harris, whose knowledge of her subject rivals that of a particularly observant time traveler, though Sr. Mercia, the art teacher who draws suspect portraits from witness accounts with eerie accuracy is also a contender.
2. There's no real agreement whether this L is the original or the latest in a line. The official statement is that he's the original and no records exist of previous such individuals, but anyone at Wammy's knows that statements exist to obfuscate and nothing's easier than editing a record.
3. Ok, so L's probably not Queen Elizabeth. That's just Mello making shit up. Showoff. Probably.
4. The girls, at least, have this image of L as a dashing Robin Hood Scarlet Pimpernel figure. Very romantic. Also inaccurate.
5. Most of the rumors regarding L's identity originate from L himself, all evidence of 'L' sounding an awful lot like a precocious and somewhat messed up teen or preteen notwithstanding.
