Some corrections on my last ship post (thanks to information from this post and a comment left by @yui-kimura !)

I was unaware that Yui’s inspiration came from the bōsōzoku subculture. That’s entirely my mistake and oversight in not doing proper research into the character, and I will make sure not to do so again. As such, her design SHOULD have longer nails, just like in her base skin. As a revision, rather than keeping her nails short, I think her and Thalita can do each other’s nails. Very fun, very cute, and relaxing self-care time 🫶

I also had mistakenly thought Yui was taken fairly recently chronologically, and that the lore would be designed under the assumption she would be the youngest winner in 2019. Of course, as they pointed out, Yui would’ve been taken at least 10-20 years earlier than that, due to references made by Mikaela, in which case she would not have needed to be so young to have been counted as the youngest. That, and all the events in her lore (even disregarding Tome 20), would have her racing for longer than just 3-4 years. At absolute minimum, it would make sense for her to be at least 26 or 27, though her being older would make more sense.
