#theres also a character i havent drawn yet who uses a swordbreaker

[liquidstar]

im back with another oc drawing so soon! i finished imai so much quicker than i expected. she was really fun to design because i knew the cool experienced pro vibe i wanted to go for, so once i started i just kept going!! anyway im sure you all know the drill, more info about her under the readmore ^_^

Imai joined Nova Stella when she was in her late teens, but even in her early days she carried herself with the esteem of someone held to a high regard. She’s always been very by-the-books, no-nonsense, and very stringent even with herself. After all, she should be able to meet her own standards before anyone else. This made the guild pretty hard to get used to at first, life around there can get pretty chaotic, but over time she’s learned to take things as they come. She realizes that it’s not like she’s completely perfect either, she has her own very weird quirks too, so she fits in just fine. She’s part of the family.

She’s 35 years old now, and she’s become somewhat of a role model for the current teens of the guild, since she’s one out of the three (acting) 5-stars, which inherently makes her cool. Though out of all the older figures they could look to, she’s still the most strict, but that’s a counter balance that’s very much needed, and most importantly she’s never unfair. This stern but fair outlook is one she very very strongly believes in for all things, but she’s very inflexible about it, reflected in her power of linked causality; an ability which allows her to link the effects of two separate things. If she uses her power to link the causality of an apple and an orange, and then she cuts the apple in half, the orange will also get cut in half. The fact that she duel-wields is also reflective of her power.

Her name, Imai, comes from a star of the same name, the star gets it’s name from the fact that it "ceases to appear in the evening sky at dusk (around the end of August), it is said that the Omo [river] rises high enough to flatten the imai grass that grows along its banks, and then subsides." and since her namesake came specifically from the grass, I gave her a very green color scheme and tried to make her hair look somewhat like grass too. The idea of her “disappearing at dusk” also inspired the fact that she would leave the guildhall very early in the evening compared to everyone else because she just has a very strict regiment she absolutely must uphold.
