me writing asuna ten years ago: “this is a Sensible and Protective Mom, to act as a ~deconstruction~ of haruka’s Quirky and Free-Range Mom.  she has gardening as a character trait because that sounds like a thing moms do.”

me writing asuna now, with this character design: “actually asuna was and is a Rad Mom, she’s just overprotective of kaita because she doesn’t want him doing anything crazy, such as catching wind of what she and turboman used to do on the rally circuit and getting murked following in her footsteps. (she is not nearly as good at watching the bullshit as she is at being in the center of the bullshit.)  she chose to retire and have a kid on her own terms, once she was good and ready, and now channels her competitive energy into winning gardening society awards.  Moms Rock.”
