I didn't even notice this, so I guess pick whatever OC I want?
I'll pick Circe then.
5) Circe's dream job is to be a writer. She wants to travel and then write her own stories based on her travels. She given up on that dream when her mother fell ill and she took over the family business for her mother. After meeting Ryunosuke however things changed, her family convinced her it was okay if she go lived her dreams, so she goes traveling with Ryunosuke and will soon become a published author.
7) Circe loves her sense of style. She's very girly and loves dressing up, fixing up her hair and makeup, and loves throwing on a giant bow. She's proud of her style and loves to dress up.
8) Circe loves to read all sorts of stories. She loves mystery, fantasy, fairy tales, and romance. Her favorite stories are mostly mystery or romance. She's very picky about her romance in stories however.
15) Circe's best friend is my other OC's, two sisters who work at the inn under Circe as housekeepers, Wanda and Anita Room. They often gossip with each other and Circe considers them to be the most reliable and trustworthy amongst all the staff.

"She had us in just two words"
#epic the musical#epic the circe saga#circe#had to reupload cuz I hated how it looked on tumblr#half of my pigs lost just like that 😭#it’s been so long since I’ve been active on tumblr that I forgot the right image size to upload#plus I'm still trying to get used to procreate#so every draw may look weirdly compressed for a while sorry bot that#anyways let me complain again how much I hate to paint cuz it always ruin my art#my lineart was hella cute but I don’t feel it anymore#anyways is it obvious that I was inspired by wright barker's circe for this one?#except his colors are sweet demure and very mindful#meanwhile my colors are always on a 100 percent of saturation to make sure everyobdy's eyes will hurt when they look at it#i like to call it a medusa painting style#if you look directly at it it'll turn you to stone

“I learned to braid my hair back, so it would not catch on every twig, and how to tie my skirts at the knee to keep the burrs off. I learned to recognize the different blooming vines and guady roses, to spot the shining dragon flies and coiling snakes. I climbed the peaks where the cypresses speared black into the sky, the clambered down to the orchards and vineyards where purple grapes grew thick as coral. I walked the hills, the buzzing meadows of thyme and lilac and set my footprints across the yellow beaches. I searched out every cove and grotto, found the gentle bays, the harbor safe for ships. I heard the wolves howl, and the frogs cry from their mud. I stroked the glossy brown scorpions who braved me with their tales. Their poison was barely a pinch. I was drunk, as the wine and nectar in my father’s halls never made me. No wonder I had been so slow, I thought. All this while, I have been a weaver without wool, a ship without the sea. Yet now look where I sail.”
-Madeline Miller, Circe
-Painting: Circe by Wright Barker(1889)

Circe by Barker Wright. Inscription reads
Meanwhile the goddess in disdain bestows The mast and acorn, brutal food! and strows The fruits and cornel, as their feast, around; Now prone and grovelling on unsavoury ground.

*sad violin music plays because you and the rest of your war buddies have been turned into animals by a beautiful island witch goddess*
#circe#Wright Barker#some of the animals have bows because Odysseus was actually the first person to popularize the coquette aesthetic#he brought it back with him from Troy

As a kid I had project were we dressed up as/basically RP'd a figure from mythology to pretend to be interviewed to show off what we knew. I can't remember if I picked Circe or got assigned Circe, but probably on the long list of reasons I am the way I am.
The original painting I used as a reference was by John Wright Barker. Pigs are cute but I ended up only keeping three of them, because I don't enjoy drawing them. I made her dress red because I wanted her to stand out more/as a small Hercules animated series reference. The animated series is honestly even more inaccurate in the most fascinating* ways compared to the movie, but Circe was voiced by Idina Menzel/has a fun little musical number, so there's that.
*Sometimes terrible
