Nari is someone I made about 3 years ago, I think after KCP 2017. At first, she had a completely different look, but then I decided I wasn't a fan as I felt it looked a bit bland to the others. So, I decided to redesign her into something like this:
I decided this is the type of aesthetic I wanted to give her. However, I did try to work on her, giving her multiple changes in her outfit, whether it was trying to put another color on her, or just giving her a brand new look. However, I realized recently that there's no way I can add another color to her without finding her a bit off. So, I decided
ehh, why not, kept her only with red and black as her aesthetic, and I started liking her more because of it. And before anyone asks, yes, I've tried to add another color onto her before KCP20, but like last time, I just wasn't a fan; I felt like it just doesn't work on her anymore.
One thing I've gotten recently is comparisons to Scarlett simply due to their color schemes and the heart symbol, although Scarlett's red. I mean, I get it; it just feels kind of disappointing since I had no intentions for her to be related at all to Scarlett besides being different types of singers. "Besides the color scheme and music, they wouldn't really have anything in common. Scarlett hates pop music and is part of a ska-punk band (from Clover's Flipdeck); Nari's a pop sensation and is part of a dance-pop girl group. I didn't want her to have any other color because it would ruin her character tbh. So, I'd just say they have similar taste in fashion, but for different reasons." I can't really do anything to stop the comparisons though, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Anyways, here's some of her backstory: Nari is someone who I'd say is chill and laidback, but determined and supportive of everyone close to her at the same time. She is an only child, has a best friend since they were kids, and is currently dating someone (not in the games). As many of you guys already know, she is a "pop sensation". I started thinking about some types of genres she would be interested in, like "electropop" and R&B. Currently, she's in a pop girl-group with 3 other girls, but she has also released some material as a solo artist. Most of them have had history with each other since childhood, and they joined a singing competition together, but lost in 3rd. However, they gained major popularity, were signed up, and received major success in their career. Now I did have a name for their group, but I've been thinking about possibly changing the name.
Now, I do have ideas and plans I want to ask Flipline for Nari, if she wins. About her outfit, one obvious issue is the collar area; the tie looks like it's about to pop off, so editing the tie to be underneath the collar would make more sense, like how they did with Clover. However, the one thing I did wish can happen, but might not happen, is if they can edit the shirt. See, I picked this shirt in particular because this was the only one that had the collars closer together in a way I like. However if I can, I would want the shirt to be changed into a "zip-up dress shirt". I made the buttons white because, especially zoomed out in these rounds, they aren't that noticeable on it. I wanted to show that with the line from the shirt, maybe it can be edited into a zipper (but moved more to the middle so it makes sense):
Finally, I have already decided that besides Valentine's Day being an obvious choice (wow so original of me), I also want her to favor Halloween;
I already have a Halloween outfit planned for her. See, her favorite would be red velvet (with cucumbers being something she'd dislike a lot). But in general, she likes anything that's chocolate tbh, so something like chocolate-covered strawberries would be something she'd order. However, I think she can also mix in some Halloween orders in other games, especially in those where the former holiday isn't available. One day, if I have time, I'll make some orders that she would order so it makes sense.
Anyways, that's all I have about Nari for now.
Good luck to everyone still in the tournament, and especially good luck to Aubrey tomorrow! May the best character win!
