usagi

-what if scrooge mcduck were an insufferable lesbian mostly

-I remember back when i was drafting her i saw someone on twt refer to a character (idk who xd) as “femme prince” and it just stuck with me yknow???????

-so yeah anyways she loves suits. u could be doing your groceries and randomly find this renowned writer wearing the most annoyingly extra suit u have ever seen in ur life.

-and the very few times she is not wearing one (mostly when she is supposed to be chilling at home) she still dresses up like a rich man. as a fun fact, the outfit pictured above is inspired by smth usagi actually wears in the manga jdhsjdhshh

-if she ever wears a dress its only for an extremely formal event that isaka forced her to go to. And ofc it IS something too fancy

-pretty much her entire wardrobe is way too expensive….. and also its huge

-also she likes wearing heels bc she likes being taller than she already is (very much so…..) and she is surprisingly good at walking with them for someone who hates going outside

-her hair always looks the same bc she may not be lazy enough to put on full makeup and dress like she came out straight from a snobby men fashion show somewhere expensive every single day….. but she is too lazy to do her hair.

-killer bod somehow? and will make sure to use it against misakis ~composed japanese woman~ facade at any given opportunity :)

nowaki

-butchbutchbutcbhbutchbutchbutch

-keeping her close to canon :)

-very much into dark plain colors, mostly bc she likes keeping things simple when it comes to clothing. this accidentally makes her look a little bit more intimidating than she actually is tho ;p

-wears sweaters most of the time bc they are comfy and other stuff is a lil harder to find in her size xd

-on a related note, shes not much into shopping bc most stuff she tries fits weird one way or another, so her wardrobe is rather limited (ALTHOUGH hiro is working on expanding it a lil bit 🤞she often gifts her clothing on special occasions, and seems to be the only person who can actually pick stuff that fits her right :3)

-she is hugeeee as already implied xdxd very broad shouldered and fit and muscular (not exaggerated but its definitely there) and strong and and and……… i would even go as far as to keep the canon height (1.86 m if im not mistaken????). Naturally the difference between her and the average japanese woman (hell, even between her and other characters considered “tall” in this au) is waaaay more noticeable, so it draws even more attention

(-from here on i will be using nowaki as a reference to talk about a characters height…..)

-very neat when it comes to her work clothes, but likes to decorate her lab coat with pins and such bc her patients seem to like it :)

-also i dont remember if its ever stablished what happened to the flower shop job but id like to believe she gets to keep it, at least as a weekends thing or smth,, (nowaki seemed to enjoy it idk idk :”3)

-miyagi

-milf. Not in the “older woman with ginormous sex appeal” way, but because she literally looks like someones mom

-(actually, its not rare for people to take her for shinobus mother when they go out together, even if they dont look alike in the slightest jsjsjs this is a bit more comprehensible bc in this au they do have the ages to be mother and daughter (21 and 42), but booooy does shinobu get defensive about it…..)

-quite feminine, but still tries to remain comfortable most of the time (so mostly pants, loose blouses, etc etc)

-has a thing for patterns, specially florals, and specially very colorful or elaborated ones :)

-wears heels often (she likes them ✊)….. and wonders why her back hurts….

-shinobu likes to gift her jewelry :D her earrings remain the same tho bc it hurts to put them back on (i swear it does!!!!!)

-kinda skinny and just slightly taller than the average woman

-very short hair for easy maintenance mostly

-killer skincare routine, but mostly bc shinobu is a little annoying about her aging properly and shares with her a lot of her own stuff xd

asahina

-kind of old fashioned???? I mean most of the references i used seemed to be from like the 70s so ig….

-very feminine, but in a rich (isakas courtesy) church lady kind of way. So very long skirts, high-collared shirts or straight up turtlenecks, thighs….

-to this day isaka remains the only person to have ever seen her bare ankles in the past 20 (or so?) years

-very tall. To the point of not looking like a gremlin next to nowaki at least

-she is also very skinny tho, so in a way she does end up looking quite small in comparison xd

-the scar on her face is bc of the car accident (coughmurdersuicideattemptcough) as a child :) it is mostly hypertrophic scars from the glass and debris falling on her and some burnt skin too, and she cant feel or move that side of her face as much as normal (hence the ever lasting lack of expression…..). It doesn’t look as obvious as i made it seem tho, that was mostly to bring out the fact that its there xd I would love to make a more detailed post about it if only i could draw…….

-the exact same hair and extremely similar silhouette in every look is not a lack of creativity, but a show of how she always strives for consistency and balance and neatness (…..it may be a lack of creativity…..)

ijuuin

-“i have all the ideas very clear in my head” <- me when i lie

-ngl ijuuin was a bit tricky djdhsjhdjsgshs like i could imagine her in my head but not have a very clear concept until a while ago……

-ANYWAYS i recall ijuuin dressing quite classy every once in a while in the manga, so that was what i was going for here kinda?

-cant help but feel she looks a little old fashioned too but in my mind this is looks cool so idc

-ik she LOVES patterns, everything elaborate… She also likes to experiment with them, clashing them together and such

-she goes out on her pajamas a lot more than she should. But puts on her pretentious trenchcoat (inspired by canon!!) to cover it so its okay 👍

-has very beautiful hair and will make sure everyone notices it(hence why she never puts it up even if she somehow styles it…)

-quite tall. not to the point of not looking ridiculous next to nowaki, but its a highlight

misaki

- -…………….. misaki. thats it.

-it trascends gender man idk what to say

-started off very basic (typical jeans + tshirt or hoodie, varying in color), but as time passes and she starts earning some confidence and money of her own she starts experimenting more with patterns and prints and layers and such

-(also from the moment she starts dating usagi her wardrobe grows tenfold xd any piece of clothing that remotely reminded usagi of her magically appears on misakis closet the next day)

-anyways shes veeeeery small. doesnt even make it to 1.50 (shes like 1 cm smaller than that u_u)

-(from now on i may also be using her as a reference for other characters’ heights xdxd)

-also no boobs no nothing. Misaki often jokes that her sister took all of those genes for herself and left none for her xd

-and ofc usagi is soooooo annoying abt this (its all a facade obviously she is obsessed with misaki)

-and misaki liking to use loose clothing so much doesn’t help her case in the slightest jdhsjdhs

-i did think of keeping the short hair too for a full “misaki but a girl” effect but at some point i drew her with a wolf cut (……..ish?) for funsies and nothing was the same since

-(were wolf cuts even a thing back then??? WHEN even is back then????? help)

hiroki

-i was kind of going for "grumpy old man university professor" here. That's literally what she is in every way minus age and gender xd

- strives for this sober, academic kind of look, even if she is not at work kfhfjfhfhf it's part of her personality at this point

-careful with her looks, but tries not to take too much of her time with it

-very fucked up internal thermostat bc no matter how hot it may be she is never gonna take out whatever blazer or sweater or vest she is wearing and yet she's not even gonna sweat

-(smth smth her ~being cold~ all the time 😇)

-mostly into beiges and muted or darker colors. you might be more likely to see a cow fly than to see her wearing anything bright and colorful

-her hair looks literally the same all the time bc it's kind of impossible to style but she has had it like that for so long she no longer sees the point in changing it so whatever. at least she makes the effort to not have it on her face or smth

-she wears her glasses almost all the time bc the constant forcing her sight to read eventually took its toll on her eyes kfhsjdhsj (it's bc I like how it looks)

-not very well portrayed I know, but the glasses have this very subtle cat-eye shape, instead of the typical rectangles other characters wear

-average height. which means that next to nowaki she looks like a smurf (she is supposed to hate this but extremely deep inside she likes how secure? this makes her feel when being together)

shinobu

- dresses like an expensive (emphasis on expensive) doll most of the time :3

-probably looks like she came straight out of scream queens. Which is cool bc she also acts like she came straight out of scream queens

-extremely careful with how she looks, and likes to take her sweet sweet time in the process

-similar color scheme to hiroki's, but add pink to it :)

- for once she was actually worth the effort of drawing shoes

-it is not impossible, but it is very rare to see her wearing pants. Nothing against them in particular, she just likes wearing skirts xd

-also yes she is capable of wearing more basic, comfortable clothing, but she has to trust you waaaaay too much (i.e. you'd have to be miyagi) for you to see her like that

-the most beautiful, effortless dark blonde long curls you have ever seen in your life

-also very much into hair accessories, like headbands or tiny bows.

-not taller than Miyagi, but definitely taller than average.

-she also likes wearing heels often (although nothing too exaggerated), so she ends up looking even taller. and unlike miyagi, she doesn't get the back pains when walking around all day in heels, and she definitely uses that against miyagi to get her to exercise more often

isska

-femmest femme to have ever femmed in the history of femmes

-this woman is probably among some of the richest people at very least in her own industry. And god is she gonna make sure you realize by just looking at her.......

-she will show up to the board meeting wearing the most beautiful, insufferably expensive dress you have ever seen in your life and nobody will bat an eye. its thursday.

-"rich people often try to dress simple clothes bc they try not to draw too much attention to themselves" nuh uh they are just basic ass bitches

-anyways very much into delicate patterns, mostly florals or stuff like tartan or argyle (kind of vivienne westwood inspired when it comes to those)

-i think she likes purple. two of the outfits pictured above are some shade of purple in my mind

- also she looooooves some jewelry, the shinier the better. its not rare for people to be at a meeting and randomly get distracted by this big ass shimmer coming from the director.

-she also tends to walk a lot, so it's not weird to hear the constant clicking from her heels at a 10m radius from her office

-(her lower back may hurt a little after but asahina can take care of that later :))

-second tallest bottom in this whole au. she still looks rather small compared to asahina, but she is at very least taller than shinobu

-the biggest silkiest hair known to marukawa (not really but she likes to pretend this is true). every single day she sleeps with those tubes on her head and it is so worthy....

-speaking of which, she has the most annoying before sleep AND wake up routine known to man, but it pays off so well bc have u seen her skin????????? and yes, asahina partakes in both of them

Yuu

-fashionable (this in my mind is fashionable xd)

-hugeeee into layering....... and stripes......

-very colorful clothing most of the time (not all tho. for example, the far left outfit for example is supposed to be black and white). she loves to play around with different combinations, whether it's monochromatic or complementary or analogous colors, whatever looks good

-on a related note, she is very careful with what she wears. not to the lengths of like isaka or usagi, but she likes to feel pretty and actively makes the effort to do so.

-she will not compromise comfort for this purpose tho. She is problematic mangaka assistant first, beautiful woman second

-not pictured bc Im silly and I forgot (and tbf it'd be a bit hard to draw from a front view xd), but she loves hair clips with the colors and the shapes and all that, and if it wasn't for them her hair would look the exact same all the time jdhdjdhshd. she has a huge collection of them, a lot of them gifted by chiaki :)

-at some point she was like one (1) cm smaller than chiaki, which actually means she's of average height since chiaki is just sliiiiiiightly taller than that. chiaki also used to be kind of annoying about this fact

-very nice figure, but secretly tends to feel insecure about it for some reason. she can become a rather envious person at times, so perhaps it has to do with having to compare herself to hatori(s evidently beautiful body, among other things) so often? and it doesn't get any better when she starts going out with ijuuin, and can't help but feel kind of intimidated by her (although it quickly goes from envying to lusting xd)
