Ringo Ando Guide

As a reminder, you're free to request which characters I do these of! I've started the next one, but after that I don't think I have more on the docket. So please feel free to suggest! And/or ask relevant questions.

Anyway,

Ringo Ando has an insatiable curiosity. Her quest for knowledge is never-ending and she always wants to learn more.

Academically, her greatest strengths and interests are in math and physics, but this does not necessarily limit her to those subjects.

By default, Ringo tries to maintain a chill demeanor.

She speaks pretty normally, but has a tendency to utilize precise diction, even when it's not needed.

And sometimes she'll just say something completely off-the-wall and keep going like it's no big deal.

Ringo has a relatively high surprise threshold, but when she does get surprised she goes 0 to 60 pretty much immediately.

When this happens, her filter gets knocked loose and she speaks without processing her words before they're already out.

The one surefire exception to that high-surprise threshold is ghosts. Just mentioning them upsets her. She's also not crazy about environments that look like they might end up involving ghosts.

Being in the presence of a ghost usially results in either a meltdown or a BSOD.

While Ringo says she dislikes them for being unscientific, that's a cover (because of course it is, the girl uses magic).

The truth is her grandmother terrified her with ghost stories at a young age. One story in particular was about the ghost of a young girl that cheerfully spoke in puns before murdering her victims.

Speaking of her grandmother, the apple she carries around in manzai is from her.

When something manages to catch Ringo's interest, she tends to laser focus on it so she can hypothesize and/or experiment with it.

A sufficiently interesting thing will make Ringo excited.

When excited, she'll start singing an improvised song based on her situation. These songs often include spelling out a keyword (with English letters).

She's also prone to laughter when excited. This laughter can range from "eager giggling" to "mad cackling."

The more excited she gets, the more likely she ends up getting carried away by whatever she's doing.

Like forgetting her surroundings, or taking others for granted.

Things that tend to excite her are * Mysteries, puzzles, problems, and the solving thereof * Experimenting * Experiencing scifi and fantasy tropes firsthand * Sonic the Hedgehog and Space Channel 5 (probably other Sega franchises too) * Magical girl tropes * Adventures * Discovering and experiencing things that broaden her horizons

If it's not clear by now, Ringo Ando is a huge nerd.

Her boundless enthusiasm for learning means she tends to have a stronger memory than others, where spacetime shenanigans are concerned.

Her memory isn't perfect, though. Case in point, Ringo is absolutely terrible at remembering names. So she usually refer to people by descriptive nicknames for the most part. The exceptions are her closest friends. And Satan.

In fact, she always addresses him as "Lord Satan," whereas most of the cast just sticks with "Satan." My guess is because she gets a thrill out of being able to unironically call somebody "Lord Satan."

Your regular reminder that Ringo does not dislike Ecolo and considers him a close friend, and she did so before Ecolo ever did. In her own words, Ringo says that Ecolo isn't a bad kid.

Being the daughter of greengrocers, Ringo is very health-conscious when it comes to food.

She also knows how to cook fairly well… but her experimental tendencies combined with health focus means that she'll end up making something weird (but technically healthy!) anyway.

Ringo will, apropos of nothing, narrate out loud, like she's addressing an audience that isn't there. This includes expository introductions of characters as a greeting ("If it isn't my childhood friend and lifelong neighbor, Maguro Sasaki!")

Sometimes she does just refer to people by their full name. Might be because of the narration, could just be something she does.

Ringo's vision, at 20/4, is literally superhuman and on par with birds of prey.

Experiments she's performed in her physics club include sending chocolate through spacetime (successful), making a philosopher's stone with fruits and vegetables as ingredients (unknown success/failure), and figuring out what Ecolo is made of ("heck if I know").

But other than all of that, Ringo is a perfectly ordinary teenager.

whatever tumblr desktop UI is testing right now: i don't like it

Getting warmer and warmer out

[misskamelie]

Good thing: I graduated with excellent results :)

Bad thing: this sense of fatigue and tiredness has not improved in the slightest

Good thing (?): apparently, graduating automatically kicks you out from applying to the Erasmus program (this might be good because I don't think I'd be psychologically ready to tackle this whole thing again in the upcoming year)

Bad thing: I truly have no idea how to take care of this fatigue thingie nor how to proceed wrt taking care of my health/wellbeing

Just because I don't mention it in my bio (heck, if people actually respect that...), I'd appreciate not taking my art without my permission.

Might not post much art stuff, mostly random sketches here and there but- Just don't take them and use them without asking...

[pimientos-especiales]

I've never played Baldur's Gate III and probably never will - I mean I struggled to the point of tears to get through the Arceus fight in Pokemon Legends Arceus so I feel like BG3 might be too hard for me

But yeah guess what I'm an Astarion simp now

I don't know how they managed to craft the absolute perfect man for a particular set of fans. I mean I've been into anime since like 1998 so I know fangirls love: dudes with white hair; vampires; elves; men who are aristocratic but also a bit dandyish - and relatedly, feminine while still being masculine; men with huge body counts (in the gore sense); traumatic backstories; really nice clothes; snarky attitudes; but also sensitive guys

So like Astarion is basically like if you put Legolas, the 4kids dub version of Seto Kaiba, Sesshomaru, Ayame Sohma, Hatori Sohma, and Erik Northman from True Blood in a blender and then gave him fancy clothes

Idk what I mean. But like, it's that. He's like bisexual 1700s vampire Seto Kaiba who kills people and has lots of sex.

There will never be a fictional character more perfectly attuned to what teenage girls were attracted to in 2004.

My one and only critique is that he has no chest hair, but I understand that's common for elves in that continuity?

While trying to install the new Cassette Beasts DLC my completed 31 hour save file got corrupted, now I have to replay the entire game to experience the new stuff. Well good thing I like this game because I'd otherwise cut my losses

[grandpayaoi]

this is a joke about anime porn. get real

[venusssssssssss]

legit so annoyed about the way the corporate media wants to paint those women waiting outside the court as crazy and as only being there because Luigi is hot. I looked up pictures of them outside the court and they all held signs and were there to send a message: "health over wealth", "denial of medical care = violence", "murder for profit = terrorism", "the United States healthcare stole my livelihood", "insurance lobbyists line politicians' pockets", "healthcare reform NOW". Yeah, they're there because he's hot for sure. Also, there were a lot of men as well but hey, that's not helping the narrative right?
