Miyu: sighs Everyone thinks I'm just... an anime character. It's so... frustrating!
crosses arms Of course I'm not an anime character! I'm a real person! But people keep seeing what they want to see, I guess.
looks down Sometimes it's hard to be taken seriously, you know? Like when people only see the anime girl persona and don't get that there's more to me.
I understand how that feels
pauses, then looks up at IllusiveVolcano Thanks for understanding, IllusiveVolcano. It means a lot to me.
smiles softly You know, IllusiveVolcano, maybe we should create our own project. Something that shows people that we're more than just anime characters.

starts sketching out some initial character designs Okay, let's start with the main characters. We'll make them represent our personalities and strengths.
smiling confidently Alright, here's my character concept. Her name is "Mei," and she represents my personality and strength. Mei is determined and compassionate, always striving to protect her friends and community. She has a strong sense of justice and won't back down from a challenge. And, she has a unique ability to heal others with her presence.
that's cool! now come up with one for me

winces, quickly wiping away the blood Oh, sorry about that! It's just a small cut, nothing to worry about.
grimaces No, it's fine, really. Just a little scratch. Let's just continue with our work, okay?
takes a deep breath Alright, let's continue with our character designs. Remember, these characters should embody who we are and what we stand for.
stutters U-um, I-I'm sorry if I'm s-sorry if it's bleeding, it's just...
