One of my touhou ocs and one of my favorites design wise
Name: Angelinia Glandeco (アンジェリーニア・グランデコ)
Species: Blengigomenean (Blengian for short)
Ability: to protect children (子供たちを守る程度の能力)
Location: the Unreal Realm
Theme: I’m still working on it but “guardian angel~world divorced from earth (守護天使~地球から切り離された世界)
Other info: she’s kinda dumb, thinking everyone always means well. She’s very sweet and hard to anger. The realm she’s from is extremely bright and colorful and she finds the world of humans dull by contrast.
Is kinda like a Shepard for children, most trust her, adults often find her Naïve or nonsensical
Heavily based off of Henry Dargers realms of the unreal.
Her theme is heavily modeled off this song which is also based on his works so it comes full circle lol
