Cool, I didn't know the heroines would be based on real detectives from classical literature, sort of like the Strike Witches cast were based on historical aces. From the names in the OP, it seems they'll be:

Pink-haired girl: Sherlock (based on Sherlock Holmes)
Red-haired girl: Nero (based on Nero Wolfe)
Black-haired girl: Hercule (based on Hercule Poirot)
Blonde-haired girl: Cordelia (based on Cordelia Gray)

Nice-- I was able to pick up on Sherlock and Hercule, of course, but not Nero or Cordelia. My lit tastes are too antiquated; I kept thinking Roman emperors and King Lear =P

Hold it! What's with the fire, the martial arts, the glowing radar-like eyes?
