you know fujimaru rokka's story hurts even more when you hear how... affectionate and bright her tone is whenever she shouts a servant's name during the grail/league app. she's so...relieved. she's so... excited to see familiar faces once again after drifting who know how long. she's so happy to see her friends again. her friends that weren't hers. friends nevertheless.

i also like to think her eyes are like that compared to riyo gudako's is because the shininess of it is equal to how close she is to crying from relief...shes so close to crying from happiness and many other emotions because she is once again seeing goredolf, mash, the crypters, her servants, her friends, her family, people she loved and cherished, people she failed to save

--but she can't bring herself to cry while the day was ongoing. after all, its a day supposed to be filled with fun and pranks. its a one-day "dream"... a "lie" that she can indulge in for now before going back to void space to drift from here to there to nowhere to nothing.

"april fool's", a day where all lies and pranks can be forgiven. a day of pretend to have something once more. a day of pretend where you can walk and laugh by their side once more. a day where you can turn a blind eye to what happened to you and pretend that you didnt lose everything minutes-hours-years-eons ago.

I still can't get over at how raw Sky's scream is when she had to tell the team that the Ranborg that they're facing is Shalala… 😞

Akira Sekine did a really fantastic job with it, but god damn does it gave me a big case of emotional damage 😭

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story Season 2 Spoiler-Filled Review [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

Although there, sadly, wasn't a kiss between Eve and Aoi, the series was filled with gay subtext. While some may call it yuri-bait, it is more charitable to describe it as yuri subtext. In any case, the show was a fun ride. It wrapped up far too quickly, with many time jumps. Despite this, the ending of the series makes clear that the game between Aoi and Eve continues forever. There is the implication that they won't be apart and may even play again.

The ending could have been stronger, but I don't detest it. There is enough space and possible storyline, especially during the two aforementioned time skips, that a third season or even an OVA could expand upon. Such a season, or OVA, could focus on Eve and Aoi, or the growing closeness between the two caddies, Amane and Ichina, shown in the final episode. There is fan support for another season, or OVA. It remains to be seen if executives think the same.

There are other praiseworthy elements of Birdie Wing. The music complements the action. It accompanies the strong, flowing animation. The two highly skilled series composers, Kōtarō Nakagawa and Hironori Anazawa, make the series that much better. The former composed music for Gosick and Chivalry of a Failed Knight, while the latter did music for Scarlet Nexus.

Birdie Wing is nothing like any currently airing series produced by Bandai Namco Pictures, or those by Sunrise. Such series are supernatural action, mecha, or military science fiction. Bandai Namco Pictures is known for Gintama, Brave Beats, and Aikatsu!. Another division of the same company, Sunrise (also called Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc.), is recognized for other series. This includes Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, Love Live! Superstar!!, Love Live! Sunshine!!, Love Live! School Idol Project, Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Tiger & Bunny, Dirty Pair, and Cowboy Bebop.

The series director, Takayuki Inagaki, worked on Fuuka, KanColle, Kokoro Library, Princess Tutu, and R.O.D. the TV. Yōsuke Kuroda, main writer for Birdie Wing, worked on Kokoro Library as well. He served as a head writer for Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid and Madlax.

The voice cast are just as seasoned and have often voiced queer characters. Akari Kito, who voices Eve, voiced magical girl Momo Chiyoda in The Demon Girl Next Door, Kanata Konoe in Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Touko Usagihara in Akebi's Sailor Uniform, and Sakura Adachi in Adachi and Shimamura. Asami Seto, voice of Aoi, previously voiced Yoshino Takatsuki in Wandering Son, Charlotte Scherzen in Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid, Fena Houtman in Fena: Pirate Princess, and Nene Saionji in Yuri Is My Job!

Seto is scheduled to voice Yori Asanagi in Whisper Me a Love Song in January 2024. M.A.O. (voice of Kaoruko Iijima) will voice Kohaku in Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror. The latter is a Love Live! Sunshine!! spinoff which recently premiered on Crunchyroll. The voice actor of Amane (Ami Koshimizu) voiced Yang Xiao Long in RWBY: Ice Queendom, Elda in Otaku Elf, Maria in Management of a Novice Alchemist, and Sailor Jupiter in Sailor Moon Crystal. All these characters are directly or indirectly queer.

Akira Sekine, voice of Lily, previously voiced Sora/Cure Sky in Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure and Princess Charlotte in Princess Principal. Saki Fujita, who voices Ichina, previously lent her voice to school president Mitsuki Sonoda in Sakura Trick. Sonoda had a huge crush on Haruka Takayama. Other voice actors are known for their roles in Maria Watches Over Us, Yurikuma Arashi, D4DJ, Akebi's Sailor Uniform, YuruYuri, Strawberry Panic!, and Sweet Blue Flowers.

Birdie Wing will likely not be continued. Similar themes were likely added to the video game associated with the series. The connection to Madlax, since it is in the same universe, will remain a topic of ongoing fan speculation. I will always remember this anime fondly. It may be some time before another anime can shoot me right through, as Eve says to her opponents, like this one.

All 25 episodes of Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story can be streamed on Crunchyroll. The second season can also be purchased on Prime Video or on the Microsoft Store.

I’ve translated some Precure interviews from the 20th Anniversary Character Chronicle! This post is dedicated to Hirogaru Sky Precure. Information under cut😊 (Note: I am not a professional translator! There will/may be some errors, but I tried my best!)

1.“Sky Mirage! Tone Connect! Hirogaru Change! The sky that soars to infinity! Cure Sky!”

2.The Precure Sora transforms into. Sora, who has been training as a hero, chases the kidnapped princess Ellee-chan to Sorashido City. Princess Ellee’s mysterious power reacts to Sora’s heart and turns her into Cure Sky. “Hirogaru Sky Punch” is her finishing move.

3.A girl from Skyland who aspires to be a hero. She has excellent athletic prowess, with a serious and polite personality. She deepened her bond with Mashiro first. Her catchphrase is “It’s Hero time!”

💙🗻💙🗻💙🗻💙🗻💙🗻💙🗻💙🗻💙🗻💙

1.“Sora comes from another world; Skyland. She is the first main Precure to have blue as a color. We struggled coming up with a balance of coolness and cuteness.” (Next Quote) “There is frequent use of sky motifs, such as balloons, the moon, and stars. Her sleeves were made to represent these balloons, and her earring reflects the moon.”

2.“A major design point is her cape fluttering in the wind. Said cape is a defining characteristic of Cure Sky, and it only covers the left shoulder, so she won’t have to worry about it from behind. Her hair tips have a gradient of blue to pink. Cuteness and coolness is expressed in an asymmetrical design. The wavy lines create more movement than straight lines.”

3.���Cure Sky is a character reliant on fighting, so we designed her to have slightly larger (most likely muscular) arms and legs. This was inspired by fighting game characters, which enhances the battle scenes.”

4.“We asked Akira Sekine (Sky’s VA) for words of inspiration as Sky. She states, “Even if I feel I cannot move forward, there are people who always have my back! So don’t stop, Hero Girl! I have many people that support me, much like Sora-chan. Sora-chan is a hero to me too!” Sekine-san is motivated by Sky’s design, mostly her cape, as she thinks it is cool.”

2.The Precure Mashiro transforms into. Mashiro turns into Cure Prism when saving Sora in a pinch. She hesitates often due to a lack of confidence, but Ageha pushes her to be the best she can be. “Hirogaru Prism Shot” is her finishing attack.

3.A kind and knowledgeable second-year at Sorashido Middle. Her parents constantly work overseas, and her grandmother taught her about cooking and nature. Through interacting with Sora and her friends, she slowly gains confidence.

1.“Mashiro transforms into Cure Prism, a kind and gentle girl inspired by diamonds. Influenced by the prism-like shape, we have adopted the diamond style as a symbol.” (Next Quote) “The hairstyle resembles hearts, in the braids mainly. There is also a decorative ribbon on the back of her outfit.”

2.“She shares the same earring shape as Sky, which makes a pair together. Her full-body silhouette is reminiscent of a diamond shape. Children are more likely to recognize her with a fuller hairstyle. The frills are essential for the cute, soft feel we have gotten with Prism.”

3.”The cross pattern on her skirt represents a prism that changes color depending on light passing through it. This exemplifies Prism’s own unique experience of discovering her qualities through encounters with others.”

4.“We asked Ai Kakuma (Prism’s VA) for words of inspiration as Prism. She states, “It’s hero time! When you say this, you’re saying “Protect what is most important to you!” These words encourage me to be stronger.” Kakuma-san states her favorite part of Prism’s fashion is inside her skirt, where the cross is.”

2.The Precure Tsubasa transforms into. The first recurring male member of a Precure team. He helps Sky and the others, and when Kabaton laughs at Princess Ellee, he shouts “Don’t laugh!” He then turns into Cure Wing and saves the princess. “Hirogaru Wing Attack” is his finishing attack.

3.He is a hard-working boy from the Puni Bird tribe, a bird fairy who cannot fly but can take the form of a human. His dream of flying came true when he turned into a Precure, and he serves Princess Ellee as her knight.

1.“The first male Precure to be a regular member. It took some time to solidify the character’s image, including the height and age. Since he is a member of the Puni Bird tribe, we had to be conscious of his bird-like qualities too.” (Next Quote) “The costume is based off butler’s style. To prevent it from becoming a stiff design, we gave him colorful buttons, reminiscent of a circus.”

2.“When he transforms, his bangs will be neat! Before he changes, he has a quiet hairstyle with one eye hidden. After, he becomes powerful, and the low ponytail resembles a tail feather. The blue to yellow gradient reminded us of dusk. To express his masculinity, we gave him shorts, while giving an air of femininity with little frills.”

3.“The accent on his thigh matches Butterfly. While the rest of his design is neat and symmetrical, we added this ribbon to express individuality.”

4.“We asked Ayumu Murase (Wing’s VA) for words of inspiration as Wing. He states, “Your knight shall go!” Murase-san says he likes the mini hat on his head, stating it is cute.”

1.“The first adult Cure to appear in the series. Since she is much older, we had many discussions about the design of her character. We were conscious to ensure she was mature and sister-like.” (Next Quote) “Her arms are covered in sheer body tights, much like a figure skater, which gives the impression of a sunrise.”

2.“The charm around her neck is common amongst Precure characters. The common motif gives off the sense of teamwork. The midriff and mini skirt are reminiscent of Korean fashion trends. She is inspired by K-pop idols, along with a sporty mix in its design.”

3.“A mini skirt would reveal too much, so we gave her one-sided tights to balance the weight. The bottom has a silhouette that resembles butterfly wings, and the sides give the impression of said butterfly’s wings at rest.”

4.“We asked Ayaka Nanase (Butterfly’s VA) for words of inspiration as Butterfly. She states, “Let’s get excited! When I say this, I get excited too~ So positive; my favorite word!” Nanase-san likes the gradient sleeves and asymmetrical tights.”

2.The Precure Ellee-chan transforms into. Wishing to help Sora and the others in a pinch, she temporarily grows older and turns into a Precure. This consumes a lot of energy, so she quickly returns to her baby form. “Hirogaru Magic Hour’s End” is her finishing attack (last sentence added by translator).

3.A baby who is the princess of Skyland. She has the mysterious power to create the Sky Tones. She learns to walk and talk on her own as she grows, and her catchphrase is “Eru~!”

2.”Majesty is an honorific title for the royal family. We left traces of her childhood in her hair. This invokes the idea that Ellee-chan has grown up. We kept a royal design befitting a princess, and a sash that creates a royal feel.”

3.“Her colors are inspired by the “Magic Hour”. This purple shade is bright, even without the sun present.”

4.“We asked Aoi Koga (Majesty’s VA) for words of inspiration as Ellee-chan. She states, “Thank you all for believing in me. These were her first ever words after transforming, and they are filled with a lot of love and time spent together.” Koga-san adores the skirt, as well as the tiara.”

Senpai Is An Otokonoko Episode 1 Review - A Queer-Coded Romcom

What is an ‘otokonoko’? According to some sites, it’s a Japanese term for men who express themselves femininely. Are they trans? Are they a crossdresser? That’s something to figure out for yourself. Because of the ambiguity regarding Makoto’s gender, I’m going to use they/them pronouns when talking about them.

Regardless, Senpai Is An Otokonoko seems to be a romcom story that talks about sexuality, gender and conformity as Makoto Hanaoka is a boy who dresses up as a girl, but only does it at school. Saki Aoi is a girl who fell for Makoto, originally believing them to be a girl, but when they tell her the truth, Saki gets excited knowing that she can like both the boy and the girl versions of them. Congrats on the sudden bisexual awakening? Anyways, Saki is still insistent on pursuing Makoto, so she does whatever she can to make sure she becomes their first love. The only obstacle in her way is their childhood friend, Ryuji Taiga, who is protective of them, but also has a crush on them.

Is this BL? Yuri? I’d say that it is more of a queer-coded story. Makoto clearly likes dressing femininely; Saki is bisexual; Ryuji is gay. Nobody here is straight, not even Makoto. However, I do like it shows the positives and negatives of these kinds of stories. There are people who are accepting of Makoto’s crossdressing like Saki and Ryuji, but there are those who still find it hard to take in like some of Makoto’s classmates and even one of their teachers. However, I do like that the story is not written to make Makoto a joke, but to make them a serious character with internal issues of their own. I’d love to know what caused him to start crossdressing in the first place as its only hinted that he always liked cute things since he was little, but couldn’t lavish in them due to his household being super strict. Why is it that the school allows him to dress like this and why does he have a special locker in the storage room? I’d love to know these types of details.

The visuals are pretty! I seriously love both of Makoto designs! The girl design is beautiful! I love the hair color of their wig! I also like Makoto’s boy design. They may look like a regular boy, but they have a cute and pretty face that helps them stand out from the rest. Ryuji also looks nice with the parted hair and the hoop earrings. Saki also looks so cute with her short bobbed hair! They’re all rather simple designs, but they’re eye-catching!

The characters are fun because they’re in a friendly love triangle. Makoto is a nice person who’s filled with mysteries regarding their actions. I still like that they’re brave to keep crossdressing at school, even if everyone won’t be accepting of it. Saki is so chaotic, but I do like her earnest heart. She’s so bold, which is what Makoto probably needs in his life. Ryuji is also a nice guy but a little overprotective. I do like that he does whatever he can to protect Makoto from weirdos who look at him oddly, but he gets shy whenever the topic of him liking Makoto pops up.

The voice acting is really nice! I’ve never heard Shuichiro Umeda’s performance before, but he has a very cute voice that is perfect for a role like this. Akira Sekine voices another chaotic girl in Saki after voicing the chaos that was Sora Harewataru from Hirogaru Sky Precure. Yuma Uchida plays Ryuji Taiga, making this character the second gay boy he’s voicing this season after Hisashi from Twilight Out of Focus; he’s on a roll with these LGBT characters.

I guess my only gripe is that the art style shifts a lot from the usual to the comical ones that it’s sort of hard to get used to the sudden back and forth. I think it happens way too often that I’m mentioning this. Not that it’s bad but sometimes, it does get a little annoying.

I think people who still struggle with their identity might find some solace in this cute queer-coded story. I wasn’t sure what I was for a long time until I realize that I am most likely pansexual. Yes, this is the first time I reveal my sexuality on this blog, but it’s just a secret that I won’t ever tell anyone in real life because it’s my identity and life; I’m the only one who gets to decide how to live it, after all. For me, gender doesn’t matter; I love people however they are. I honestly can’t wait to see what sort of story this will turn out to be. What are your thoughts on this episode?

Rozeline used to be a social child until a certain incident left her closed off from mingling with others who aren’t in her family. On the surface, she is a stone-faced genius with skills that would no doubt have her scouted in various industries.

But to those she is close with, she is actually a bit of a dork who gets enthusiastic with her topic of interest. Also, she gets a bit bashful once she was told she was rambling once again.

Rozeline is known for possessing photographic memory that allows her to remember almost any incident which can be fortunate or unfortunate in her case. She can recall even the smallest of details which is impressive but this also means that any unpleasant memory doesn’t disappear.

She has an appreciation for the genre of horror and psychological thrillers, she learned to get over her fears and she enjoys the attention to detail to make the genre horrifying. Rozeline practiced art to make several pieces that depicted horror parallel to her imagination. Her father is proud of her talents but feels unnerved with the artworks hanging in the dark hallway of their house.

Apparently, according to Uncle Vargas, she has incredible reflexes when she’s walking while reading compared to when she isn’t. Which baffles the man a lot but he guessed that’s a hidden talent that Rozeline is known for having.

Hometown: Land of Pyroxene

Family Life

She and her father recently moved to the Land of Pyroxene, their neighbor just so happened to be Ashton Vargas. Little Rozeline met Ashton Vargas at around age 5, when she and her father moved to the neighborhood and her father wanted to give baskets filled with ham, quality cheese and wine to their neighbors. She and her father first went to Vargas’ household because he was literally next door to their house. They became family friends and Ashton became an honorary uncle to Rozeline.

As for, Rozeline’s birth mother, she passed from an illness few years after giving birth. Though Rozeline has vague memories of her mother, it was clear that her father loved his wife so much. She often gazes at pictures in the albums, asking her father what she was like.

Before the “incident”, she was just like any child, playing outside with friends and sometimes getting a bit muddy in the process. She used to be quite the energetic little girl, always wanting to play hero instead of damsel with the other children. She’s always admired the brave heroes in the stories that her father reads to her.

However, one day, one of their friends went into the forest because they lost their ball there. Rozeline followed only to find him cowering by a tree where a large wolf was prowling nearby. She remembered the stories of brave heroes and plucked up the courage to get between the wolf and the boy.

This led to her Unique Magic developing, but it looked terrifying as it appeared as a gnarly thorn beast that towered the wolf and brutally drove it off. Rozeline was then labeled as a monster due to her UM. This incident scarred her and led her to suppress her UM no matter what.

The other children ended up bullying her so much that she was homeschooled for the next few years. Fabien feels sorry for his daughter who simply had a bad timing, the other neighbors excluding Vargas would whisper how there must be something wrong with their family.

Childhood Memories

Rozeline remembers that her father made a machine that used shadow puppets to tell a story, it was a gift to her. Fabien used her favorite storybook as inspiration, Rozeline was inspired to become someone heroic like the ones in the story.

The incident of her UM developing stayed in her memory, the boy she saved called her a monster and told the other children about her. This made them socially isolate her and when she tried to politely clear up what happened at the forest, they just yelled at her and pushed her away. Causing her mental trauma that eventually made her close off herself from people.

During her time she became homeschooled, there was this tutor that her father hired that somewhat got her to distract herself from the incident. She remembered him being strict but also showing her so many new things that can be found in books. He was the only person she let her walls down for because he listened to her struggles and gave her advice. Recalling how she gave him a pocket watch she asked her father to make.

Rozeline is a 3rd Year Chateau Beastiale student and is the current dorm leader.

Rozeline is closed off for the most part, she is very professional when interacting with other students. Which earned her the image of a genius due to how she treats others professionally. She is an intellectual girl who has talent in inventing machines infused with magic as well as a skilled novelist, playwright and songwriter. 

Due to her tutor’s lessons, she became skilled in the aforementioned fields to an almost prodigy scale. With the aid of her photographic memory, she is able to pinpoint details that produce high quality work in her school. There have been offers from industries that were mailed to her on occasion, but Rozeline compiles them to ponder over for later.

Rozeline slowly eased into socializing more, it started with the furniture in the dorm before she moved on to people. But there are still moments that she begins to panic, that’s when her UM starts to act up due to her strong emotions.

She likes to busy herself by making articles and documentaries on her fellow students who come from different regions. With their permission, she posts them in a blog under an anonymous identity online. She does so as a way to provide the true knowledge instead of those that are mere assumptions, also she is bummed out that not many would take notice of these amazing cultures according to her.

One thing that Rozeline is known for enjoying is eating new food she has never seen before. Her cool composure crumbles at the sight of a feast. She picked up her father’s habit of saying thanks with a gift basket, she would often give them out when she asked for help from other students. All of them were usually filled with pastries and cheeses.

She has a book series based on a certain dorm leader of Futterwacken and her ventures into angering the dark-haired maiden who has had enough of her nonsense. She was thinking of donating the books to the school library at some point.

Rozeline is a star student due to her intellect and diligence in her studies. But she is terrible at PE, when she’s trying to get over obstacles it was just impossible. However, when she’s engrossed in a book and was reading, she somehow manages to maneuver around people and objects effortlessly.

School Relationships

Rozeline is closed off but there are a few people she socializes with more, those are Evonie, Jinlong and Elu. Though her friendship with them started when she offered to record their projects and other things for them, though she also was curious about their culture.

Evonie often rants to Rozeline about Allison that the two are often seen in a room where the former is sitting on a chaise longue talking about the recent prank Allison pulled on her while the latter sits on another chair writing it all down while listening intently to Evonie ramble.

It was like a therapist dynamic with Evonie and Rozeline, though the two can also be seen trading novels. While with Allison it was like a private investigator taking notes on a target.

Jinlong often brings over antique for her to register into logbooks kept at Chateau Beastiale. She is always amazed how Jinlong always re-forged the objects that look almost impossible to fix. Rozeline also is interested in her culture and would not pass the opportunity to inquire questions about the traditions of the Valley of Clouds.

Jinlong also takes this opportunity to show her both the good and the bad side to tradition to hopefully bring this attention to the public that in turn would get notified to the authority figures back home. Rozeline often gave her a basket full of cheese and bread as thanks for her help.

Elu and Rozeline often exchange ideas on inventions, both aim to help the other in improving their engineered machines. Elu would like to gain more knowledge about how to advance her village while being eco-friendly, Rozeline’s knowledge on machines can help her out with that.

Rozeline in turn is interested to document about culture in Elu’s village, she is well-aware of how that place is hounded with businessmen. Plenty of top articles overshadow any articles about this village’s problem, Elu is hoping that Rozeline could bring some attention to her issues in exchange for her participation.

The two also are two loners in a pod, often preferring the solitude to crowded places. Elu is also gifted baskets of freshly baked French pastries whenever she came over or helped Rozeline out with commission work. The bear girl can’t forget the taste of such delicacy.

Rosia and Rozeline’s relationship is more of a mentor trying to help a withering bud blossom, though it was taking quite a bit of TLC to get there. Rosia is blunt but not brutally honest, she knows that Rozeline can do many amazing things if she can just trust in herself and her powers.

Rosia’s form is from Rozeline’s unconscious desire to finally face her past. Rozeline appreciates what her fairy does for her, she really does but her fears weigh her down like an anchor.

Palmiers

She has a sun bear named, Palmiers. Because she found her in their house one day eating the freshly made palmiers she baked for her father. Sun bears are known to be aggressive and territorial but for some reason, she has clung to Rozeline like a chick.

The bear has a rather mysterious personality, she often stares at people from afar before she retreats into her station. Sometimes Rozeline can hear her mutter about philosophical things that make sense only to a bear.

Palmiers is stationed as a guard for the dorm, though easily bribed by sweets, especially the ones she was named after. The bear often climbs onto high places with no problem at all, though this tends to startle Rozeline when she sees her bear on the ceiling or chandelier.

Sullivan

A shy Selle Francais breed who tends to hide behind his owner. Rozeline got him as a present from Vargas, the man didn’t have the need for a horse since he could easily do its job with ease, so he decided to give it to his honorary niece. Sullivan tends to get spooked a lot, even from the smallest noise and he dislikes the dark.

Rozeline mainly uses him to take a stroll whenever she feels overwhelmed at times. Sullivan can sympathize with her troubles and would nuzzle her to make her feel better.

Her unique magic is called “Beast of Thorns”. She can summon a huge, hulking monster made of thorns to aid her in fight if there was one, she can also summon it as just vines. But this was more complicated as it is connected to her emotions yet it has a bit of sentience. Rozeline does her best to suppress it no matter what.

She isn’t athletic and so mostly uses long range spells and even trap spells to gain the advantage against opponents. She can be a challenge to take out especially when she takes extra measures to make it difficult to attack her.

Fabien Maury Pierrette

Rozeline’s father who is an inventor of magical devices. He runs an antique shop that repairs old and broken items, he is quite good with fixing things. He sometimes ventures into a junkshop to purchase scrap metal to see what he can build.

He is a doting father and he loves his daughter very much, when he found out about the commotion at school that made Rozeline traumatized, he knew he can’t force her to go back so he hires a private tutor and had her homeschooled instead. He is familiar with Ashton Vargas because they’re next-door neighbors, either he or Rozeline go over to his house to deliver a basket of smoked ham and cheese, he even invites the man over for dinner during holidays.

Baptiste Gallois

Rozeline’s private tutor, he is a rather tall man with long unkempt hair up to his shoulders and his voice sounds quite raspy and deep, but he is a very excellent tutor. He used to teach at some university but he retired and now works as a part-time tutor. People are wary of his appearance and would gossip at him and his unsightly state.

He is just a frugal man who prefers to mend his old coats rather than buy new ones. A bit strict but he just wants the child to excel because he believes that knowledge is the way to assure a good future. Rozeline gave him a pocket watch when he announced that she was almost done with her studies, he takes good care of it.

The character’s name, “Rozeline” is a different approach on the usual names that have the word “rose” in it, while her last name, “Pierrette” is also a play on French words.

Rozeline becomes much more talkative when it comes to literature, playwrights and inventing. She’ll ramble on about the parts she thinks is interesting. It can either turn out to be confusing if the person doesn’t get the terms she uses or they would be impressed with her feedback.

She felt terrible for the years she spent homeschooled because she didn’t have the courage to face people. So, she tried to pay back her father by sending screenplays to local small theaters that delivered her share of the profits since the playwrights were good.

She wrote it under an anonymous identity that she still continues to use today. Her father thought she was doing a part-time job, she never told him that she was doing commissions.

The anonymous name she uses is called, “Rosethorn”. Which is ironic considering her unique magic but it fits her quite well.

The artist’s concept before sketch for Rozeline was going to be just the typical girl with a weird pet that was supposed to represent Beast. But then it was changed so that Rozeline is both Beauty and Beast.
