Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't know where to put this, so I put this here.

I realized something today, that I shouldn't change but work on finding people I can related, gain more confidence and all that. I also learned a bit more about myself, style and interest and it inspired me to incorporate them into Kotori's character.

I can see Kotori being a character who struggles with being picked on or lack confidence (especially with her brother complex and seeing how her siblings are). I can see her style being elegant gothic lolita/aristocrat, waloli and similar styles. I can also see her interested in dance, being more feminine than her sister Sachiko, she would probably not being interested in fighting liker her sister. I thought her style would be Tribal and cabaret style, probably used swords and zills. Her hair sticks would work with Tribal style dance and qi loli style (Chinese inspired) and double as weapons.

Some examples of her style

Rough idea of what she looks like and my version of her

I see her as a genjutsu type (well with the sharingan and all). There is more info about that in the profile page here


I will probably work on her some more and draw some sketched of her in different outfits.

Actually I think this would be sort of fitting for Kotori. Need to make the outfit more her style but this style and tribal fusion, like dancers such as Rachel Brice, is what I am actually studying and thought it would work for Kotori's character.

Here is a picture I drew. I tried to design her Tribal/Tribal fusion costume that she would wear when she dances, I might redo it later. The sword and Hair sticks are used as props and decorations as well as weapons.

Thanks. I don't know anything about Person 3. sweatdrop

That is the typical Tribal style costume though, that and choli tops. She is probably a bit older in that picture.
