Look, I know that shorter transformations are nice change of pace but to me Cure Wonderful's henshin is too fast-paced in my book that we almost barely know what's going on for its 14 seconds length. And we have DeliPa-style roll call with some Sailor Moon vibes on it.

And not to brag about another anime here but even Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS is an improvement. Despite being shorter than Wonderful by only taking 7-8 seconds to finish, I like how they concentrate on one part to another and how the second half goes cause otherwise Playmaker and Soulburner's henshin might end up being too stiff (yes, I'm talking about you, TMMN's Mew Mint).

But at least Cure Wonderful's henshin isn't as worse as Healing Stick users from HealinGood because she did have some energy for it. I wish the process is longer, though. And can we have another henshin where hair is done midway or at the end of the process in future Pretty Cure series, please?

me puse a ver Tokyo mew mew nuevamente, y aparte de percibir mas lesbian vibes de Mint no me pude quitar de la cabeza que cada interacción entre Pudding y Zakuro perfectamente puede ser una interacción entre la Nep y el Equius.

I wound up buying a Tokyo Mew Mew maid costume pattern to save time with an entirely different maid costume (it’s almost identical from the waist up) but well… I have a Tokyo Mew Mew maid cafe uniform pattern…………..

Posted these OC fun facts on discord, so I'm posting them here for preservation :3

Thistle:

Favorite Color: (of all time)Mauve Pink and (currently) Acid Lime Green

Favorite Flower: Cactus Blossoms but uses, uh, Thistles as a signature flower. He likes them because it reminds him of him and Surge together (it's pink, green & spikey)

What they would take on a deserted island: A laptop & a classic romance novel (he's a sucker for the classics & old hollywood, he wildly misinterprets them, but he loves them)

Idea/Inspiration for them: based on a bumblekast question/description about a Glitch ver. Amy, but I liked the idea of Surge just having a rabid fanboy (different from Kit) and gave him a more eccentric flair. Design wise I wanted him to look like a punk version of a normal schoolboy, and tried to make his personality more feminine & extroverted (since Surge leans more masculine & Surge & Kit are both more introverted). I also pulled inspiration from few obsessive characters like Kish from Tokyo Mew Mew & Lum from Urusei Yatsura

Quake:

Favorite Color: Coral Red, but any jewel tones she think are very pretty

Favorite Flower: Shepherd's Purse, she likes it for it's medicinal values and also thinks it's cute and simple

What they would take on a deserted island: She would think it'd be a great time for meditating so probably a sketch diary to keep track of her thoughts/draw anything neat she finds

Idea/Inspiration for them: I like powerful ladies, I'm also plus sized so any plus sized rep in my favorite media is welcomed, and noticed that Blaze doesn't have a powerhouse lady companion (aside from herself) so I just kinda took it as a challenge to see if I could make it work and I think I found the right balance.

Pop & Crackers:

Favorite Color: Navy Blue & Off-white, it reminds her of her favorite sports team

Favorite Flower: "Why would I care about lame things like flowers?" - Pop. Crackers likes Gardenias, they smell nice.

What they'd take to a deserted island: Stuff to play beach volleyball

Idea/Insp: Also based on a bumblekast question lol (glitch Cream), since Cream is sweet & supportive & brings out the best in people, I wanted Pop to just have a total bratty sibling vibe. I like baseball and thought a team sport angle would be a great way to incorporate a chao teammate. Since she's also an opponent for Kit, I thought it'd be interesting if she shared personality traits with Surge. Like it's cool when Surge acts like a braggart, but anyone else I think he'd find much more annoying & be able to show no mercy to

Mimi Mint:

Favorite Color: Mint Green XD but any shade of green she likes

Favorite Flower: Any fruit tree blossoms (Apple, Cherry, Peach, Lemon etc.) she's a farmer girl, she loves any kind of spring flower, it's a sign of good things.

What they'd take to an island: a boat to leave. she would not have a good time after the first afternoon

Idea/Insp: she's based on my Forces oc so she's basically an idealized me :'D but I like characters that are just normal people doing their best

Opal

Favorite Color: Hot Pink, the brighter and gaudier the better

Favorite Flower: Pink Peonies, anything big and explosive looking like Dahlia or huge Roses she likes too

What they'd take to a deserted island: "Oh how fabulous, is there a resort there? A spa?....not even a hotel? ...oh. you mean deserted deserted, how quaint. No thank you, I'll pass" - Opal. (She would have some giant trendy sunglasses on her though)

Idea/Insp: If I don't make a magical girl fit somewhere in my favorite media I'll die

Hadn't realized they were remaking Tokyo Mew Mew. Twas my first manga, so redesign thoughts:

Ichigo's og dress design was better, specifically the skirt. The bottom of the new skirt looks awkward and a little cluttered. This is more apparent in the below picture. Could take or leave her hair not changing colors because I don’t think any of their hair changes colors in the new show(?), and that is slightly more consistent than the 2002 anime where only Ichigo and Lettuce had hair changes, and I do agree that should be an all or nothing deal.

I wish they'd done shorts or bloomers for Lettuce instead of a skirt to sort of keep more of the swimsuit vibe that the og costume had. The skirt also makes the costume look very similar to Ichigo's (Again, more apparent in the above pic) especially with how different the og costumes were from one another. I understand the choice to do a large rework of her costume despite my personal attachment to the og one. Middle school Anon hardcore went "She just like me fr." I like the choice to give her outfit two main tones instead of just one and the accent to help distinguish her costume a little more. Despite changing the antennae position from on top of her head to behind it, we still have no idea what Lettuce is supposed to be. Weird bug vibes as always. Love it.

Mint's redesign is almost perfect. Love how her wings are more detailed. The extra length of her dress and the trim on the bottom are elegant and suit her personality. I like her og hair a little more, but the dangos are cute.

Not sure why Zakuro needed a hair ribbon? It doesn't really add to the costume, and that's pretty much the only large change to her costume. Also not sure why it’s a drastically different color than literally everything else on her costume.

Big dislike for Pudding. Bring back her leotard. We stan her little acrobat costume. It fit her personality better. And we run into the "Ichigo and Lettuce's outfits are really similar now" except worse. That's the same dress as Mint except with a different neckline. No reason for the huge redesign for Pudding. Hatred. Malice even.

The new trim is fine. I especially like it on Mint's costume.

The bow ties are also fine, although the choker collars are iconic and I sort of wish they'd kept them. However, I do think with the new trim, the chokers would look busy.

New charms are eh. I get that they're more visible on the new bows, but I liked how the og charms were a good deal different than other magical girl charms. This is also part of my general ambivalence about the bow ties. The chokers were really distinctive.

Don't care for the leg ribbons. Wish they matched the neck ones to look slightly more cohesive, but surprised they kept the garter element of the costumes at all. I like the idea of the ribbons better than the garters, I just wish they weren't trimmed.

"Freak Friday Mall Daze" Clip

“What did you two do?” Glitch laughed as Schmitty facepalmed. “Dumb shit, huh?”

“Accidentally pied a worker.” Cookie shrugged. “It’s just for that store though, thankfully.”

“Yeah. Thankfully. Lemme guess, said worker was like ‘sir, we can’t give you free candles’.” Schmitty deadpanned.

Glitch giggled slightly. “Yep. They’re fine.”

“See?” Schmitty mused. “How’s Poopsie?”

“Sleepy but vibing.” Glitch reassured as Poopsie tiredly opened an eye. “I love our whittle genderfluid kitty cat.”

“How can a cat be genderfluid, it’s a damn cat!?!” Cookie was laughing. “But for real, sorry for the scare, Glitchy.”

“I’m just glad it didn’t end in a nasty split or something.” Glitch hugged them. “Or that it ruined today.”

“Trust me, we’ve been through worse fights.” Cookie smiled. “Now eat up! Steak’s not gonna eat itself, ya know. Especially since Schmitty pulled out all the stops- is that a glob of garlic butter?”

“Mew…” Poopsie purred a little as Glitch ruffled the cat’s fur. 

“Probably.” Glitch shrugged and grabbed a packet of mints. “Juuuuuuuust in case.”

“So, after, we meet back up with the others and hang until closing time?” Guy asked.

“No, we set a forest on fire, steal candy from a store and try to assassinate politicians.” Cookie snarked.

“I’d like that.” Glitch teased. “For legal reasons, that was a joke.”

[asylumdream]

YOOOOO THEY'RE ALL SO COOL THOUGH??? So THATS your pfp!! I love the colors!!!(<- big fan of pink)

First of all, obligatory judgement towards homestuck(jokeing)

But in all seriousness, I've actually never had the opportunity to get engaged with homestuck much, inspite of being on the internet at the time and being a fan of Toby Fox' music, so I'm afraid I dont know much about it. That said, Pemlow's shoulder tattoo, its hecking COOL man. I can also totally see Malleo being a pokemon trainer, hes got the Vibes for it. And also I love how Sazaly and Lasusa's outfits are drawn---- they look so darn cool.

Onward to THE BABY!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!!! I saw him in some of valorousowl's works! So he's yours!!! I love him he can xystroy my mortal possesions any day. Duroc is just- perfect. Thats all I can say, sheer perfection. Also the pose? The fluffyness? Just- taistier then bacon my stars. Also also i absolutely asore the lines on Somnarine, the linework is just nice and i like it.

I love Chiyako's pose--- Im somewhat reminded of Mint!Tokyo Mew Mew because of the ballet themeing(this is complimentaryI mean this as praise, holding your face in my hands, please understand im drawing the comparison as a good thing and not to lessen or cheapen your art) the complete accurate vibe to have for Madoka. TSUKIKO IS ADORABLE ALSO? She looks like a bunny and I love her for it, I'm completely charmed. I adore the loop pattern on her sleeves, its so incredibly cute.

Rip Miko's mascot creature, but shes also super cute- that sounds like a really fun premise for a darker magical girl, and very refreshing compared to all the dark magical girls that have the thing giveing the girls powers being an evil thing- I'd be supper interested to learn more!

Knoell... I unironically like the vibes (<- an asexual furry). I also really love his thigh fluff and hooves, it ends up looking like tall boots and thats just charming (boots with the fur)

AND ITS YOU!!!! OHHHH THATS SO COOL THOUGH??? the fadeing in horns? The cool almost idol like outfit?? The necklace???? STARS its so cool!!! Absolute 15/10 wonderful

My nerd(affectionate), my aquantence, my funny lil guy on a screen-

Tell me about your ocs

I'm spesificaly curious about your pfp (are they an oc? Self insert? Im fairly certain you drew them, but did you?) But also I wanna know abt any other lil fellas youve got! I want Refrence Images (if you hve any)

HELLO I'M SO EXCITED TO TELL YOU the one in my pfp is not an OC though, that's just Karkat Vantas as a trickster. I did in fact draw him! But technically he's not mine, just the design is.

I can post the full image below! Among many others.

Due to who I am as a person, at least some of the images below will be uh. Suggestive. Proceed at your own discretion.

Trickster Karkat

I've actually drawn him like three times but this is my favorite iteration.

OKAY OC TIME

I'll start with my homestuck OCs. These aren't all of them, just most of them. I still have some highbloods to draw.

Pommeh Granit and Pemlow Matahr (originally Pomelo Tomato) are a couple of minor characters in an old fic of mine that's been bouncing around forever. Pommeh doesn't get much if any screentime but in another world he'd be some highblood's sugarbaby, sweet to their face and an absolute terror to anyone else. Pemlow is much nicer, and the tattoos on his shoulder are meant to be symbolic of the system he grew up in (as he's not an Alternian troll, he's from a colony world.)

All the yellowbloods (Hanyak Tayana, Kimchi Spanch, Javila Kanyao and Praspa Tradam) are also background characters from various unfinished fics that I sometimes give their own lives anyway. Hanyak and Praspa are roommates, and very toxic for each other. Kimchi is the only thing keeping them from killing each other. Javila is just there for the ride, and to provide narcotics.

Maeleo is actually my first fantroll! He went through a bunch of redesigns though. I think someone once said he looks like a pokemon trainer? I think I might lean into that lol. Champion Fiduspawn player.

Tassit, Sazaly, and Lasusa are also some older characters who've gone through some redesigns (Lasusa the least, she's always been scrungly). The three of them are from the same fic as Pommeh and Pemlow, as maintenance crew (Tassit) and medical crew (Sazaly and Lasusa.) Hareer used to be a Beforus troll but then I made them an Alternian bounty hunter.

Yadmir is a smuggler who runs both cargo and people off locked down planets like Alternia. He only shows up in a couple scenes in one of my more recent (unfinished) fics but I think he's kind of charming, in a slimy way.

Claris is just horrible and I'm pretty sure she eats people. Like not even grubs, straight up people.

I also have Lilnas Rodey and Candra Somvar, both of which I need to actually draw myself at some point. There's more than these but... yeah, still no refs.

DragonFable OCs!

I still need to draw most of them. But here's the ones I've already drawn.

Dave, a fan-child for Notha and Remthalas, cloned mostly from Rem's DNA but with a little Notha in there for variety. He's a menace and I love him. @oddeyesight and @valorousowl (as @justanothalyehr) are partially responsible.

Duroc, Elemental Spirit of Vivacity. He's a hedonist and a bacon-aligned spirit, and I mostly made him because I thought it'd be funny.

Somnarine, another abyssal elf. He's an old friend of Rem's who was away when the other abyssal elves got taken out by Kathool. Lots of headcanons involved in both his design and backstory. His skirt isn't actually that short, he ties it with his belt when he's on land. Right now he's traveling among other water elf settlements to try and gather as much of his people's history together as he can. Very much a lover not a fighter, and needs rescuing *often.* (Kind of a simplified sketch, will do better eventually.)

I've only recently gotten back into DF though so again, more OCs, not that many refs.

Puella Magi OCs!

I have. A lot of witches. Which I will not list, because I mostly use them for RP, and they die pretty quickly lol.

But here are some of my magical girls!

Chiyako Watanabe, my first Puella Magi OC. Rich girl, very polite and sweet on the first few meetings, but actually really intense and even a little violent. Has a pretty fragile ego, and a tendency to not ask for help until it's too late.

Tsukiko Usada, 18 or 19 years old, living on her own, and actually really shy and nervous around everyone. Has an interest in idol culture and fashion, but doesn't think she'll get anywhere with it, mostly because she's trans and still needs to get over her own internalized issues. (Her outfit was originally just blue but then I did the trans flag palette as a joke and thought it looked much cuter.)

This one's much rougher due to the situation around the image; a few people from the RP + myself wanted to make a manga but it didn't really get off the ground. Olivia here was one of the main cast; she's really cold and bitter outwardly but actually kind of a crybaby. Also half-Belgian, hence the name.

I have one more, but she still doesn't have any art; will hopefully get around to that sometime.

Non-fandom OCs!

Surprisingly, this Madoka-looking girl is for an original project that I've been pinging around in my head for a few months. Miko Sugihara, an unlucky magical girl who works for the Yakuza due to them holding her mascot critter hostage.

Knoell here is... something. He was abducted by Krampus and transformed into what he is now. Really I made him for smut.

Nikolai here is basically my self-insert! I do not own any of this outfit in real life, alas.

Hoo, that's already quite a lot, so I'll stop here for now. Might post more if anyone asks again. Thanks for dropping by! Feel free to ask details about any of them.

[idio-cies]

My dear followers, I apologise for the bombardment of Tokyo Mew Mew. It was my childhood. Having this be remade is making me all kinds of emotional...

[myrskytuuli]

Not even joking, I think Tokyo mew mew new is building up a lesbian romance between Zakuro and Mint, and I’m afraid to even write that, because I’ve been burned so many times. BUT.

1. They went the effort to state that Mint and Zakuro are same age. Manga and anime have a long history of toying with lesbian vibes that get in the end denied with the “she’s the older sister that the other girl wants to emulate” card. But Tokyo Mew Mew New went the extra mile to remove that element by stating that they both are the same age.

2. instead of Zakuro being an inspiration to Mint, they both inspire each other. Zakuro gets an entire character arc where she is a teenager trying to be more mature than she is, and is impressed by Mint, which prompts her to join the team. The inspiration goes both ways in this version.

3. Mint has her own storyline and struggles. As does Zakuro. They are both treated as girls with their own shit to deal with, and they help each other to deal with it. The equal respect and help just vibes with a romantic relationship in a way that it does not with the “big sister taking care of little sister” that the original liked to defend itself with.

4. It just feels like the new adaptation threw away the aspects that were used to deny the homosexual undertones and I am a fool that lives in hope.

tokyo mew mew new thoughts

so tokyo mew mew new wrapped up its first season yesterday and i was too tired to post my thoughts then so now that i have gathered my thoughts, i have quite a bit to say.

i appreciate how tokyo mew mew new put more care into developing the mew mews, even though its shorter than the original anime. we could really see the girls grow. and one character this show really made me appreciate more was ichigo momomiya herself.

now i always did like ichigo but i felt like the original anime focused a bit too much on her. i get it, she's the main character, she's the one with the romance so of course she will have the most focus. but it felt like they wanted the spotlight to be placed on her as much as possible. but here, i feel like the girls got their time to shine. one change i appreciate was how in the original anime, it was only ichigo who delivered the final blow to the enemies. but here, the other girls get the chance to do it as well.

and on to ichigo's character development, we really see her grow. we see how she goes from being upset about being a mew mew and wanting to turn back as soon as possible to genuinely caring about the earth and doing everything in her power to protect it as a mew mew. that scene in episode 11 where she monologues about how even though she knows being a mew mew is dangerous, she doesn't regret it because she met her friends and came to appreciate life more really put into perspective just how much she's grown.

another character i've come to appreciate is mint aizawa. again, i always liked her, but i feel she was a bit mean in the original anime (though its been a while since i've seen the original anime so i'll have to rewatch it). even here she has those "proud rich girl" vibes but she's a lot more mellowed out. she genuinely cares for her friends and she'll not forgive anyone who hurts them, as seen when she threatened kisshu when he was bothering ichigo.

and lettuce midorikawa.... god i relate to her so much. her debut episode really hit home for me. her episodes are the most relatable to me. she's such a sweetheart and i'm glad this anime gave her more spotlight.

i feel like pudding and zakuro haven't had the chance to shine that much aside from their debut episodes but i'm sure season 2 will give them that chance. i'm also hoping we get a detailed zakuro backstory in season 2.

and as for the romance between ichigo and masaya, they spent a lot more time developing them. we see masaya slowly falling for ichigo. he's never had those feelings before so he's nervous around her, but he soon realizes leading to the rain scene in the last episode.

and speaking of the rain scene

i love love LOVE that they used the opening of the original anime in the lead up to that scene. it was a beautiful homage to the original anime and it also made the scene more emotional.

so anyways these are my tmmn ramblings. can't wait to see my little mew mews again in 2023.

[ribbonstrawberrysurprise]

Hi! I am a big fan of the Tokyo Mew series, and I was wondering if you could do an analysis on the Mew Mew's projected elements and animals and colors, and how they all tie into their powers as magical girls?? I've always wondered if there is a certain mythology or reason behind it, but it seems like the girls' colors are mostly based on their names(Strawberry- red and pink, Lettuce-green, etc), but what about their powers?

Like you said, TMM colors are much more based on their food names than on their animals. (Although, based on that one 4-panel side comic in volume 1, it seems that the colors came first, then the characters were given food names that matched.) There are two seeming exceptions:

1) Mint, but it is relatively common for mint flavored candy and gum to have blue packaging.

2) Berry, whose theme color doesn’t seem obviously related to her fruit. There are a few plants with white berries (snowberries, white beautyberry, etc.), but none that are very common in cuisine or native to Japan as far as I can tell.

Actually it seems to be the opposite (at least for the manga), with characters’ animal parts being colored as to fit with their food/theme color! Zakuro’s ears are colored much more purple than on an actual wolf, and Berry has pure white ears and tail despite neither of her animals being that color irl.

I guess it’s possible she’s supposed to be based on albino plants and animals? Her Mew form does pointedly have pale blond hair and red eyes…

Anyway, as for their powers/elements…

The Mews don’t really have defined elements, with the exception of Lettuce! They more so seem to have different methods of using generic light/emotion-based attacks.

Lettuce obviously has water powers in both the manga and anime. She’s introduced telekinetically controlling a swimming pool, and her attacks are always drawn/animated as water. (Except possibly in ReTurn? It’s hard to tell if LettuSniping Shot is a jet of water.)

Her power is clearly based on her animal and not at all on her theme color. She’s actually one of the few water powered magical girls who isn’t blue! I guess you could also make a connection with her name, in that Lettuce tends to have a lot of water in it (at least Iceberg does), but I’m not convinced that’s relevant.

Ichigo seems to have the power of love/heart/purification, in that her attacks can purify the Chimera Anima. You could also argue something to do with harmony/friendship, as she tends to get upgrades by receiving power from the other girls. Also, maybe healing, considering she brings Masaya back to life? In a way, it seems like the Mew Mews powers are very analogous to the Mew Aqua. As for her animal…. I guess people do love cats? But again, it seems more based in genre conventions than exclusive to Ichigo. Pink is classic love, but it’s also classic magical girl leader.

Berry seems to have the same powerset as Ichigo (logical, since she’s her replacement), at least at first. Her powers seem to be emotion-based, as she’s able to undo mind control with Ribbon Loveberry Check, but the other girls’ words (plus the fact that they attack her classmates first) imply this is true of all Mew Mew powers, not just hers. In ReTurn, however, she seems to explicitly have healing powers, which does seem like a natural direction to go from purification/love. Same as Ichigo for the animal connection. White does seem very associated with purity and healing (at least via association with nurses/doctors). Plus white mage.

Speaking of healing, Ringo pretty much exclusively has healing powers, plus her ability to grant power to Ichigo. Very appropriate for a Mew Aqua powered character! She also has a little bit of a music theme since her mini attacks are named after solfege and involve music notes. Penguins aren’t really associated with healing or music (really, you’d expect ice), nor are red or apples (really, they’re more associated with poison!), plus Ringo was explicitly designed to be a healer so your party wouldn’t get wiped out in the RPG. So, her powerset came first, then her design…

Next up is Pudding! Her element, as it were, seems to be… pudding! Sort of… It really looks more like gelatin than crème caramel. In the anime, she does raise up the ground to protect herself in her first appearance, and her attack animation does show it tunneling through the ground, so I can see why you’d make the argument her element is earth, but she never really does anything with this again. Even when it could really come in handy, like when she's trapped underground. And her attack is edible, as per the manga, so it can’t be clay or something! As for an animal connection, I guess you could say that monkeys are kind of known for eating things, I feel like this is clearly based solely on her name.

Zakuro…. sort of has an element? Her whip is called a “whip of light” in the anime, and in the manga it’s literally a glowing cross-shaped whip. This plus the “Cross” and “Pure” give it definite holy/purification/light vibes. But, in my opinion, this isn’t unique to Zakuro! Mint’s arrows are also pure light/energy, Ichigo’s attack is also very glowy, and Pudding’s… puddings(?) seem to form from light/energy. It seems like rather than a unique light element, she has the normal Mew powerset but used in a way that can cut or tie up the enemies. I can’t say wolves are particularly associated with light. Really, I’d assume dark, if anything, since they tend to be cast as villains? Same for purple…

Moving on to Mint! I’ve seen it claimed that Mint’s element is sound, but she never really does anything sound-based. Sure, her weapon has “Tone” in it, and her attack has “Echo”, but Pudding’s attack has “Inferno” despite having absolutely nothing to do with fire. “Check”, “Surprise”, and “Pop” are also seemingly unrelated to the attacks they describe. As for her weapon being lyre-shaped, yeah! All of the anime-style weapons are based on instruments!

As a a ballerina, she has an association with music, but she isn’t particularly useful in the fight in episode 6 vs Mary McGuire Chimera Anima, who really does attack with music. When she fights the ballerina bird Chimera Anima in episode 9, she doesn’t use music, or even really dancing! She defeats it with the power of Kicking Really Hard. And she does hear the Mew Aqua swan calling for help, but that’s just an extension of the generic “can talk to animals closely related to their infused genes” power that Ichigo and Zakuro also demonstrate.

Really, it seems like her power is just “arrow”. Like Zakuro, she doesn’t have an element; she’s just the one who’s able to aim the best from a distance. I guess when Lettuce steals her thunder in ReTurn, she's forced to upgrade to “a whole bunch of arrows all at once” and hit everything.

All Mew Mews basically have light and emotion based powers that they use slightly differently, with the exception of Lettuce, who seems to actually just generate water out of nowhere. But her powers are obviously connected to her emotions still (see how they manifest when she first awakens them). Them all having the same base power is supported by the way the manga will often not depict each attack individually, instead having each girl say her attack name and then showing the Chimera Anima exploding in a collective burst of light.

In short, rather than individual elements, I think it’s more like:

Ichigo: big finishing move

Mint: long range precision attack

Lettuce: knocking back the enemy? area of effect? (water)

Pudding: holding the enemy in place

Zakuro: cutting through small fry or holding the enemy in place

Berry: big finishing move, healing

Ringo: healing (music)

So, none of their character traits (color, animal, power) are that related? There’s some stuff that seems linked, but overall it seems like they’re most informed by genre tropes. (Also, a lot of the details of their powers were hammered out by the anime.)

I prefer making OCs for original projects rather than fan OCs so Mew Cherry is just vibes and aesthetics! All that I’ve got for her personality-wise she’d be similar to Mew Mint but less snobby and more grumpy?? But I love designing Mew Mews so I am considering making a team for Mew Cherry, partially based on my old TMM OCs from when I was a child. I don’t know if this will ever materialise as all my brain power goes into my original story projects but I’m ruminating on it and making pin boards!
