Osaka's accent[]

I need your opinions on what I should do with Osaka's accent. I take all the information from the Yen Press manga, since I find that to be the best translation. In that translation, Osaka has a Southern accent instead of a Kansai accent (she does in the English dub, too). If I'm quoting her, should I use the Southern accent, or should I change it to standard English so that it won't be confusing to people who have not read the Yen Press manga? Or should I use another accent? Is her accent important? We still have her nickname to remind people of where she's from all the time, anyway. For now, I think I'll quote her in standard English, but if you think I should give her an accent, please leave your opinions here and I might change it so that she has an accent in the quotes. Chanpuruuu (talk) 11:39, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

For now, I've mostly kept her quotes intact, but I changed "Ah" to "I" and stuff like that because I think it would be more distracting otherwise ... Plus, you can use expressions like "ain't" even if you're not Southern. Chanpuruuu (talk) 14:32, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
