#girls who dont give up when he says no are his bottom tier of women he would like

All I can think in my head is that Clarinette is either the farthest thing from Mochi so that Lime can stop thinking about her OR she has a lot in common with Mochi that the venn diagramm is almost a circle. Like, if you squinted and tilted your head a little, they'd be near identical. Dunno if that's something that brewed in your head or not, I love your characters and art either way!

yeah i definitely think about this a lot when she comes up!!!! because just BEING "the girl lime dated" should imply a LOT about the structure of her character!!

I dont think its the first one, because if she was too far from mochi, then the whole time hed just be thinking "This sucks, i wish it was mochi. mochi wouldnt do that"

but at the same time i dont think shes an overlapping circle on the venn diagram with mochi....shes definitely not rough like coco, and is on the sweeter side, but i think the reason he went out with her didnt have anything to do with how similar/dissimilar she was to mochi, it was that she just happened to ask him out at a time where he was especially down and was willing to try anything to make the situation better

she was (as lime thinks about it in his head, but would probably never say to clarinettes face) "tolerable enough that i would be willing to experiment and see if dating anyone would make me move on," which is a horrible way to say it. simply put, she didnt have anything that upfront annoyed/irritated him/ruled her out, and she happened to catch him at an opportune time, and that was it

even right after (like, moments after) he broke up with her, he didnt think she was bad as a person or annoying, he just thought it was unfair to her. it was AFTER he broke up with her that her stubborn/relentless side came out, and THEN he was like "Yeah nope, im not dating her ever again"
