As a bit of an update and to celebrate reaching 2000 followers on Twitter, I've decided to revamp all 4 (5) of my 'sonas, the ones whom I've collectively began calling "The Auteur Quartet". I'm also going to be drawing them digitally like i have Illia, since I kinda value cohesion over everything, but for now these phone sketches are pretty good at showing off what I want. The digital pieces will each show off their auras, just like Illia (along with their deity tool) so consider them the more "powered up" designs, while these ones will fulfill a more casual role. The descriptions for each will probably remain the same however. 

Here's Esther's areas of influence alongside her themes. -Color: Magenta -Theme: The Ocean -Sphere of Influence: Life -Realm of Creativity: Actions and Descriptions

When the Tools of Creation went into what is essentially stasis, they reverted into simplistic forms and scattered across the planet. Over time, their forms would unconsciously change to match the times and in the current age they took on the form of art tools. 4 separate people managed to find 'em and essentially took on their roles of "creating more and more universes" while the deities rested. Of course, there's the issue that besides the powerful weapons these 4 wield...they're still just regular humans with faults and flaws. Esther is a spunky, sporty gal with the unfortunate problem of being way too open emotionally, to the point that it scares other people off. She's the lucky finder of the eternal sword of scribes, Serif-im. It's a large, ornate sword with a twisted root handle and a blade stylized like a pen nib. With it, she can write descriptive words onto any surface and they apply to the object. She can also use it as a regular sword, with its edge never dulling no matter what. Alongside her sword, she does also have dominion over the concept of life itself, allowing her to control both flora and fauna...but due to her interests, she casually limits herself to mainly using water and ocean based powers. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character Break Down: "Full Name": Esther Dulcinea Venturas Sexual Orientation: She's bisexual, but maaaaaaaan does she have bad luck with romance.  Age: 25 Birthday: December 4th Ethnicity: Pinoy-Australian. Her dad's the Australian one, but she uses her mom's last name because she likes it better. Her dad holds no ill will towards it and he agrees it fits more. 

Eye Color: Hazel, with a bead of green around her pupil. Hair Color: Chestnut, but it's not naturally that way. It's usually a lighter brown. Height: 5'7'' Weight: 171lbs Cup Size: D Cup, she's much more proud of her thicc thighs though.  Other Features: Her bangs cover the front of her eyes for some reason, just like Bianca. She loves wearing croptops, especially ruffled ones. Things with detached sleeves and the like are also big with her. When she grins super hard (its common), her eyes almost seem to just disappear under her bangs. Always wears magentas and browns, basically looks like a walking Valentines Day card. She plays up her cute genki girl attitude for maximum attraction. Absolutely loves things with bows. Her style seems to be a mish-mash of super girly stuff and casual wear. Like she'll wear a tank top with a really frilly skirt, or a cashmere sweater with ballerina flats and tights and leotard. She has a massively varied outfit, and doesn't mind if she looks silly, she just enjoys feeling good in her outfits. She's also extremely proud of her figure, particularly her thighs and her abs and that's why she tends to wear outfits that show them off.

Overall Attitude: Esther is probably the "anti-Illia", a spunky girl who jumps into the fray no matter the concern. She's a hotheaded go-getter with a weirdly high amount of energy and a genuine passion for life. Which tends to mean doing very big and very dumb stunts to get the full enjoyment of the world. Esther is prone to pretty much showing up in whatever outfit she feels best in, even if it doesn't quite make sense for the occasion. This plays into the fact that she's rather...ill informed of how social norms are. Looking at how she acts, you'd think she came from a different country altogether. She's very in tune with her emotions, and wears them on her sleeve. This is what allows her to do her job so well, as she's the Architect of the Soul, coming up with the descriptions of the characters after Illustro creates them. Problems:I'm surprised I never drew an ahoge on her head, cause she's kiiiiiind of dumb. She's very much like a Labrador puppy. Cute and adorable, but also doesn't know her own strength, seems to have traded intelligence for friendliness points, and once she gets going with something, she will not stop...even if she's obviously wrong. She's also very forceful, and oblivious at times, so she has a habit of accidentally forcing people to do stuff, even if they reeeeeally don't want to by sheer force of will and encouragement. She also unintentionally limits herself because of her single minded approach to things. For example, her powerset is actually extremely vast and varied due to her realm of influence...but because she REALLY likes the ocean and the sea, she really only utilizes abilities from that area.  Phobias: Surprisingly, for her go getter attitude, she has a big fear of needles and underground places. So caves are especially terrifying to her. Style and Mannerisms: Easily flips back and forth between speaking rapid fire Tagalog and English. Her accent is noticably aussie though, and she doesn't give a damn if you can't understand the terms she uses. If you aren't bilingual, it'll be almost impossible to keep up with anything she says. She's very touchy, and she'll absolutely embrace anyone in a massive hug (she's also surprisingly strong.) Usually can be seen rocking back and forth on her heels, as she's not a big fan of standing still. She's remarkably fast, and has in fact done the "naruto run" at least a few times in her life. She's definitely big on memes, and if you pay attention to the backgrounds of certain comics, she will absolutely be cameoing somehow doing some sort of meme. Always at the front of the line if walking with a group, chastising everyone fore being too slow. She has an aversion to nicknames, though is a bit hypocritical since she uses them on others repeatedly.

Relationships: She tries so hard here, but ultimately her luck with people just isn't good enough. She tends to either intimidate or scare off potential love interests. Illustro likes to tease her about it. In fact, the two share a very sibling like relationship, with all the ups and downs.  Likes: Travelling, exploring world cultures is one of her weak points, and if she's in a country, she will absolutely get absorbed into it, picking up the fashion, food, mannerisms, and etc in less than a week. She's like a chameleon, it's actually really impressive. She's also big on composing music, although she's still learning the ropes in that regard. Movies are her bread and butter, and she will obsess over film and cinema history.  Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good.

Powers: Serif-im is exceptionally sharp and precise. They blade never dulls, but more importantly, she can look into her enemies history, personality, and etc and just...rewrite it. Rohan Kishibe style. She's really skilled with the sword too, giving it properties if she can write about it on any surface. Sound effects come to life as well. She also has access to the entire spectrum of flora and fauna to fight on her behalf, alongside bestowing their abilities onto herself.  Weaknesses: She unintentionally limits herself due to her hyperfixations. Tunnel vision is a surprisingly common problem for her, and it takes DRASTIC measures and situations to shake her out of her mindset. Also, as the avatar of life, anything antithetical to it affects her hard, so necromancy and the like tend to make her queasy.

Favorites: Color: Magenta, maroon, scarlet, light pink, and chocolate. Animal: Sheep, seals, pretty much every sea creature at all.  Places: Pshh, try places she doesn't like for a shorter list. Food: Meatloaf and Strawberry flavored sodas. Media: Film

Songs Associated with Her: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX9KYx… "Groove Is In The Heart Vs. Le Freak" DJ Hero 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoWyne… "K2G" Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi www.youtube.com/watch?v=voMXqN… "Bomb Rush Blush (Smash Mix)" Tomoya Ohtani

Possible Voice Actress: Christine Marie Cabanos, mainly because she's got the spunk with Filia in Skullgirls, SquidGirl in...the show of the same name, and other roles. But honestly, I can just sorta see her voice coming from Esther's looks alone, but maybe find some way to throw in that spanish accent and some rapidfire bilingual confusion~

There should be a thing called "Tumblr Genki Girls" Kind of similar to Tumblr Sexymen or Tumblr Sexywomen but with nothing too sexual. Just wholesome and cute!

Goldfish Warning! would not be assumed to be Shoujo if it came out today.

And that is fascinating given my thesis that a lot about modern Otaku Anime is the product of 90s and early 2000s Otaku being influenced by Classic Shoujo.

The basic plot description of this show's Pilot seems so much like a modern Cute Girls Anime adapted from a Seinen Manga, I was also reminded of it during the Nokotan Pilot yesterday.  

It's eccentric Pink Haired co-protagonist seems like the kind of wacky Genki Girl Anime character that a Western Anti-Moe "Oldtaku" would assume could only have been written by a Creepy Man for Creepy Men.

I myself still have a lot of ignorance about the history of Shoujo Manga and Anime adapted from them, so I have no idea if Goldfish Warning! originated any of it's Tropes I'm thinking of here.

Goldfish Wanring! is often treated as if it was not very influential in it's own right, being historically significant only for it's role in the Pre-History of Sailor Moon.  It's Manga being published in the same Shoujo Magazine, and then preceding it in the same Tv Asahi Timeslot while also being the prior work of all of it's directors.

But maybe not, it aired in an important timeslot and so could have had maybe at least a subconscious influence on many Japanese TV watchers of the Millennial Generation.

hi i just wanted to shoutout an oldie indie VN i really enjoyed!!!!

[mako-neexu]

dantes: my accomplice needs a school uniform... very well, i shall design what is best for my "free-spirited" Master

also dantes: [doesnt give gudako tights like the other girls and opted for loose socks which accentuated her thighs and legs] fuck yes perfect

[heartbeatbookclub]

what if her being into vore would've been her Big Twist Thing if she wasn't self-aware and it was a normal VN

it's a pretty big twist as is if I'm being honest

[evobedevo]

Finally, a proper color scheme and design for Esther! She's deserved one for a while now. I'm quite happy with how she came out, this design is actually really cute. Gives her a quirk that I don't think any of the other girls fill. She's very indecisive, and tends to mash up designs she thinks are cute...even if they don't exactly work together.

She's really skilled with the sword too, giving it properties if she can write about it on any surface. Sound effects come to life as well.

-Her realm of influence granted to her by being a Guardian is "Nature and Elements", granting her full control of flora, fauna and the classical elements alike...however due to her preferences, she tends to stick to water and ocean themed abilities.

Weaknesses: Physically, she's just a human. While the abilities granted to her by the sword do help, it isn't exactly HARD to overpower her or the other Guardians.

-She has NO patience for plans and can almost be guaranteed to stray from them if possible. If you need to find the weak link to break the structure of the team, she's usually it.

Favorites:

Color: Magenta, maroon, scarlet, light pink, and chocolate.

Animal: Sheep, seals, pretty much every sea creature at all. 

Places: Pshh, try places she doesn't like for a shorter list.

Food: Meatloaf and Strawberry flavored sodas.

Hi guys so da da da. Yes I did that and you would do it too for a check. I was an employee. And I was gonna get employee of the month and that's on period

[yume-fanfare]

something about hina's characterization is that he's both girlish and boyish. boyish in a girl way if you will but you can't really forget one or the other. And sometimes mellow when the situation calls for it but it has to be a rare occurrence or else it won't be significative, that's the fun part of the quiet moments like in tetora's fs1. engstars is lacking when it comes to her theatrics though 💔
