OC Week Day 1: Ishikawa Reika

OC Week Day 1: Ishikawa Reika

Introductions

Reika is a 28-year-old, fourth-generation Japanese American who grew up in a predominantly white town. Reconnecting with her Japanese roots and finding a sense of home has been a lifelong journey, the most recent step of which was moving to Japan for her work as an educational psychologist. 

Unfortunately, she didn’t have much time to adjust to her new cultural surroundings before a misadventure – involving a calico cat in traffic, a grad student at a historical monument, and a storm – flung her 500 years into the past.

It’s not a happy arrival, and it takes some time for Reika to warm up to her captors in Azuchi. However, in general, Reika comes across as friendly and easy-going, quick to smile and thoughtful in conversation. While she’s happy to play the role of a humble and somewhat eccentric scholar, at her core is an iron sense of ethics that can propel her into conflict.

Reika is intent on returning home through the wormhole. Though she lacks an internal sense of home, she’s keenly aware on the effect her disappearance will have on the people who care about her, and she is determined not to leave them in grief and uncertainty.

Quick Drawing Of My Angel OC Danei In A Celestial Realm Academy Uniform, Inspired By @0beyme ‘s Design.

Quick drawing of my angel OC Danei in a Celestial Realm Academy uniform, inspired by @0beyme ‘s design. :3c Unlike my angel Torine (who is older), Danei was a trainee at the same time as Mammon, so she could still be attending an academy. 

Thanks so much to @0beyme for letting us draw your design! It was fun.

@motherbugmoart​ requested Red & Snyk angst in the “my wife fucking left me” palette from @m-chromatic​‘s palette challenge. @kuroshiro101 and @archiarthur referenced the meme, though, and I couldn’t help but take it in a more silly direction asdlfjsadlljksad I think I’m pretty happy with it! Thanks to everyone who helped inspire this piece! -^^-

Fluff Alphabet For Kennyo: H-I-J-K

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: H-I-J-K

From this list! Instead of asks, I'm just doing the whole thing. :3

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Kennyo struggles with emotional honesty when he's in pain. He's used to keeping sadness and worry to himself for a number of reasons -- leadership, culture, masculine expectation. Old habits die hard, and he also feels that he shouldn't burden his partner by exposing them to more of the darkness in the world. He doesn't like lying to his lover, however, so if they're persistent in asking, he'll eventually open up.

Kennyo doesn't really have anything in his past that he wants to keep secret, though in general, he often doesn't think to share things about himself unless he's asked.

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Being with his partner reminded Kennyo of who he truly is, and in admiring their kindness and inner strength, he found he could no longer deny his own values. He feels he owes his redemption to them.

If his beloved has trouble recognizing their own virtues or worth, Kennyo will stop at nothing to help them see it, showering them with affection and praise, though he knows from experience that the journey to self-acceptance takes time.

Although Kennyo doesn't seek out novelty by nature, he's more than willing to try new things with his lover to see them smile. If there's something they want to try but are nervous, Kennyo will encourage them and be at their side, because he wants his beloved to be able to pursue any skill or experience that calls to them.

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Kennyo doesn't feel jealous over simple things. If someone else shows obvious romantic or sexual interest in his beloved, or if he notices his partner displaying such interest in someone else, he'll feel jealousy, but it will quickly turn into anxiety. He'll wait until he and his lover are in private, then quietly ask if he still makes them happy. How long it takes for the insecurity to pass depends on the circumstances. Since Kennyo has a hard time talking about his feelings and doesn't like conflict with his partner, he'll probably be avoidant when he's feeling his worst, especially if he's experiencing any flashes of jealous anger at the third party. As a Buddhist, he expects himself to let go of such feelings, perhaps more quickly than is strictly reasonable (though that's due to his especially high standards for himself).

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Of course he's a good kisser. He's an ikémen. ;) Still, with such a gentle-hearted and naturally cautious man, the first kiss will be soft, shy, and a little uncertain, even if his partner is fully relaxed and eager.
