Arc

https://i.ibb.co/xtX7WsKM/nijika.png So I wanted to have fun taking Nijika from Bocchi the Rock and re-imagine her character if she was a major idol and hit it big. During the whole anime, she is just the background drummer supporting character. Nijika has a big bow tie on a T shirt and some suspender straps going over it. I'm no fashion expert, but oof. https://i.ibb.co/C3QqXmtf/screenshot.png Lets jump some years ahead and imagine she hit it big as a band idol. In the anime and manga, Nijika is just a supporting character. She never takes the spotlight, she never talks about herself. It's for that reason she needs to have a more bold outfit to stand out. I decided to go with a choker instead of a ribbon because it looks more mature for an older adult. I kept the color scheme of red, white, black. Nijika is both the caretaker of her household and the band, so I gave her an outfit that has more of "ara ara" energy to it. I got the star on the choker to symbolize the venue she calls her home, STARRY. It sits close to her heart. I gave her a spider lily hair ornament to symbolize how much the death of her mother affected her life. It also represents her feelings towards her father. When their mother died, her father was supposed to be the caretaker, but he was either divorced or for whatever reason created a bad home environment that constantly made Nijika's older sister Seika run away. Nijika has feelings of resentment towards her father who dumped everything on her, so in a way, he is dead to her. Finally I decided the Oishi no Ko eyes because if you ever seen the anime, its all about lying about the persona you present on stage. It was pretty fun to do some character design brainstorming. I might do it again sometime.
