Alright! Toon Sasaki is finally finished!
(Note: Normal- left, AU version- right)
Of course, we’re going to start with the Toon itself! Unlike Chiba, Sasaki was a hard one to come up with. (After all, the object or animal affiliated had to fit her personality or talent.) Eventually, I decided on a forget-me-not. Not only because of its symbolism and color scheme, but also due to a certain feature I wanted to add.
Now for the outfit, I gave her a student uniform. Which I attempted to mimic a style that’s similar to those in magical girl anime. To also show that she’s part of the student council/being the student council president, I wrapped a red armband on her right sleeve. I also couldn’t forget that she had a knee injury, so I once again pulled up @laugtherhyena /Carol’s redesign and gave her a knee brace. (Can’t forget about her glasses as well!) The socks and shoes also resemble the ones paired with the school uniforms.
You may have noticed the leaves on her head, as well as on the bottom of her skirt. Well, it turns out that I gave her wolf-like features, with the leaves mimicking that of ears and tail. Her eyes are also that of a wolves’, allowing her to see at long-range distances, even without her glasses (though it will be a bit blurred and not as far).
Now for her AU version, she’s mostly unharmed aside from the scratch wound on her left arm…wait. A scratch wound?
Yep! Turns out she’s on the first stage of infection! She got scratched by Ouno! I also gave her a frying pan as a weapon, though I doubt it would do anything against the entities.
Some information about the virus transitioning from stage 1 to 2 as well:
Lore wise, in this AU, Sasaki actually goes to the same school as Ojima, Hiroaki, Watari, Ouno, Ninomiya, Yokoi and Ogura!
When the snowfall had occurred, she, along with most of the other students, were in school at that time. They thought nothing of it at first until one of the students who arrived late had a large, blue gash on their arm.
Eventually, after a certain period of time, the infected student transformed, putting the school into lockdown. Sasaki managed to find Ojima, Hiroaki, Ouno, Ninomiya and Yokoi, and they managed to escape.
Sasaki, of course, took the lead. Planning to get the group to find some help. Even though Hiroaki is hesitant.
However, a leader would never fail anyone, right?
