SPOILERS FOR WIZARD WITCH AND THE WILD ONE ARC THREE IF NOT CAUGHT UP

————

As a warlock I make my bread and creature butter off of being a third party, so here’s my current analysis on the teams at play based on current information:

Team Wizard:

I was REALLY let down by the wizards for their subterfuge and taking advantage of Ame’s trust of Suvi, but now that we understand more of the character of these other witches, I’m comfortable being pro-wizard again. I will say this music box plan is something I as a professional would never do; since I could not afford to burn a bridge like that (and I don’t have a giant fucking bass pro shop pyramid to protect me and my arcane geek squad). Pour one out for the wizard Straw.

Wait no

Team Witch:

Tell you what gang, I don’t need an aura effect that makes people do saves or go bananas, cause ol’ Mr. Z has this thing called manners. Plus I’m just so darn charming anyways. Indri; fuck your ice castle, I hope the coal spirits unionize and Nief becomes their union rep. My favorite witch is still Ame.

Eursalon;

On the right path, loved the pancake doodle— like a cherry on top to two wildly different stories. Wonder if paintings could cause magical effects if he put his breath into them. Unless that’s not how that works.

Ame:

Get Tof to unionize the other spirits; that’ll slow indri down

Suvi:

I want to be so mad at the wizard Sky but I soooooo get it dude and why she’s doing what she’s doing. But I can hate SteeI really reallllyyy wonder what her best friend Stone would have to say if she saw her give this order to the child she trusted her with.

Fox:

Way to go cool dog

Extra post for today! These bad boys came out yesterday in Japan and can be found in crane machines nationwide (as in Japan, not any western country). It’s cute that these nuis are mimicking the faces of Leoni in their 3rd Anniversary unit art.

a small proof-of-concept sheet for abtu's (potential) species! i'm still debating whether to go through with this idea and flesh it out a lot more or to have abtu be Just A Guy... everything about his story and the universe he's set in is still a huge work in progress and at this point i'm debating giving him a story At All

I know my science sides been kinda dead but I was getting so frustrated trying to differentiate all artistes 'avians'

It'll be fun to see arrests look at their avian OCS and going *That's you bud! See?*

More characterposting cause why not. Since i started with Deperditum, I figure i should go with the one who is a more baseline example of the concept. So, second up is Luxxie, the Horizon Witch. Luxxie is basically the quintessential horizonbound. The horizon is both physical and conceptual, so it gets a lot of mileage as a euphemism for pretty much anything pursued, in my case as a desire. Luxxie herself balances the dual nature pretty well. She has a home she stays at and does things confined to that space, but she also travels a lot and has adventures far away on a regular basis. Her desire? Eternity. How does she feel in relation to being immortal? She likes it. Any issues with being physically bonded with the horizon? None. She exemplifies the motif. She's simple. Simple characters are not without depth though. She's spritely and whimsical, but ancient. She's older than all of the other horizonbound. But that's not just an offhand detail. She's seen the most time pass and more of her world fade away. She's conflicted between what she used to have and how things used to be, and what was gained as the world grows. Her character is defined by learning and acknowledging that things don't stay the same forever, that that which is in eternity cannot remain forever. But she can remember it forever. She can remember the lessons learned as the pages fade, she can replace the bricks that crumbled, she can hold onto the beauty that was lost. She can preserve it in her memory.

(not wanting to talk about the stories much but its somewhat pertinent to the character) Deperditum does have a power the others don't. since they're lost, they can sense how close people are to the edge. When it comes up, they genuinely believe Luxxie (who isnt present) is the closest to being lost. Others may have one thing that can send them, or are afraid of it happening to them, but Luxxie is the one who's faith can waver. Its a fault of her horizon being so simple, and something that she can feel so easily conflicted against as its contended before she fully understands the meaning of it. Anywhosit, I don't really have favorites, but if i did Luxxie would probably be it or up there. She doesn't have some soul breaking tragedy like a lot of my other character concepts(trying to do that less), but she still can be sad. Her age and relative isolation don't weigh on her, but there are aspects that can makes her a bit wistful and melancholic. Also obviously Luxxie isn't her full name, but I am currently using her for stuff and intentionally keeping her full name under wraps for no real reason other than for the fun of it.

Ichika’s Colorfes Story Analysis

To start of this blog’s analysis of each Leoni Colorfes card, we have to start with both the unit’s first member and the first one of the four to receive one. Hoshino Ichika’s Colorfes card released on October 1st, 2021 alongside Miku for Project SEKAI’s 1st Anniversary. The card is titled ‘The Starry Sky I Saw’.

How she sparked her fragment SEKAI

Ichika is having issues transferring her feelings into lyrics. After a practice session Saki asks her how she’s doing and after Ichika explains her dilemma the group starts talking about it. Miku says something about wanting to see some of her lyrics and Saki is ready to tell her. Somehow they end up talking about the guitarist when they were younger. Honami comments, ‘Back then, Ichika, you really just let your actions speak for themselves.’ Junior High changed them all, but Ichika feels like she’s lost all the traits from before then.

These words spark the fragment SEKAI to appear up on the school rooftop. Miku finds, leads, and accompanies Ichika.

Fragment SEKAI

The SEKAI features a very similar playground to the one Leoni use to frequently visit as children. The night sky directly resembles the night the girls watched the Leonids. Their character colors are present in the night sky.

We get a minor explanation about Fragment SEKAI’s from Miku

She doesn’t outright say it at first, but it’s quite easy for players to put two-and-two together that the ‘someone’ Miku talks about is Ichika. The feelings aren’t strong enough to create a whole SEKAI, but still forms a half-complete one. It’s interesting to think about in relation to characters whose feelings made a whole SEKAI on their own, yet also have a fragment SEKAI. However, this is a Leoni-focused blog, so I won’t be looking into that much further. The fact is, Ichika could create a whole new SEKAI if her feelings were stronger. I’m very excited to see how they handle this in the future with the next ColorFes rotation.

What exactly is the reason for this Fragment?

As stated before, Ichika sparked it by feeling like her past self is better in comparison to her present self. She knows those years in junior high changed her, but she only views that change in a negative light. While that is understandable, it causes her to ignore what she gained from surviving it. Each member of Leoni uses their past to strengthen themselves throughout the story, but at this point they only finished the first event rotation and their first appearance before an audience. They’ve recently changed the goal for Leoni, and so, haven’t started the development they get in their second, third, and fourth. And, to top it all off, Ichika had her event a month before her ColorFes was released. We didn’t see her next one till April of 2022, six months, and once again finished the event rotation. Apologies for the tangent, just something that caught my eye while looking over the event list.

What’s the change in her feelings?

After asking a few questions about the playground and that night with the meteor shower, Miku climbs to the top, right where Ichika sat when she was younger, and invites the guitarist to follow. This interaction follows after Miku asks how the view is.

Miku explains how though the park is different, it’s still holds the same special place in Ichika’s heart. Just like how they’ve all changed, they’re still Ichika, Saki, Honami, and Shiho. Personalities change, but they do not change who you are. While she does agree, Ichika stil, doesn’t feel certain.

‘You’re the most amazing person ever, Ichi!’ Saki says this in the cards first side story, and now Miku is using it to reassure Ichika of everything they’ve just discussed. After this, they return back to the School SEKAI. These words, have such meaning to her because they are from Saki. Those three mean so much to Ichika, and their words carry more than others. Even Miku couldn’t get her to realize her strengths until Saki’s statement was brought up. Leoni is a unit that have known each other the longest, most other units never meet until their main stories. That’s why childhood friends is talked about so much. It’s very important to how they interact and react to each other. They know more, have seen more, understand the suffering the others went through because it unfolded before their very eyes. Ichika especially. She watched them drift away, and helped piece the bonds back together with Saki’s help. Yet, she doesn’t see how much character a person needs to live through that experience and still strive to reforge that friendship. Miku does mention this, but only touches briefly on it. At the very end of the card story, Ichika thanks Miku.

And how does the vocaloid respond?

‘Great. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them, Ichika.

Mod Rant

I love everything about this card, from the story to the symbolism. This made me realize how amazing Ichika’s character is, and truly when I first fell in love with it. Many people tend to overlook her because Colorful Palette gives her lots of mascot privileges. I use to dislike her for stealing all the lines, but she is the band’s lead singer, so they have every reason to give her more. The story beautifully ties in her doubts and her junior high trauma. She overcomes it, and becomes more confident in the abilities she possesses. We also get to see a good example of a vocaloid giving subtle hints and allowing the character to piece together the solution. The card’s art is meant to symbolize (very much my opinion) Ichika’s growing confidence. She’s sat right in front of a paint splatter, causing her to stand out from the white background. Painting and writing lyrics are similar in ways. Both are meant to convey a feeling or story by the artist, and Ichika has made a mark on the room. Just like how her lyrics tend to leave a mark on a person, she is conveying her emotions and smiling about it. She looks proud of her actions, holding onto the paint bucket as if to let viewers know it was Ichika, not someone else. The hairstyle could even add onto this. Some cut their hair to symbolize a new start, or show that they’re confident in their own actions. Kohane is an example of this, and so is Ichika in this card. One last thing before I end my rant. If you look closely, you’ll notice her guitar in the background, but it’s blank. This could symbolize how music is the blank canvas she paints upon (that wording sound familiar?), and she’s left it untouched for now. Maybe it’s linked to her struggles in conveying her message or even how she’s starting a new chapter in her musical path. All I can do is hypothesize about it, but it’s just something to think about.

You’ve reached the end! Congratulations, I hope this helped you to understand Ichika better or just brought her into a new light. I may do Honami or Shiho before Saki, but that may be a while. Depends on my motivation sadly. It would be amazing if I could just sit and write paragraphs about Leoni. I’m always open to dissecting cards, so if you have one you’d like me to do, please let me know! Events are welcomed too, but that may take longer and multiple posts. Anyways, that’s it from me! Thank you so much for reading my analysis and stay tuned for more.
