KINLIST

these aren't really in any particular order, I consider all of these characters to be “literally me”

Mai Minakami (Nichijou/My Ordinary Life)

one of the most autistic girls of all time

You're Mai Minakami! The quiet oddball in the group, Mai keeps to herself. She's a smart girl with a wide range of abilities and hobbies, but finds the most joy in pranking and messing with her friends, Yuuko and Mio. She likes animals and has 2 dogs and a cat.  Mai takes out her earbuds when she hears Yuuko continously apologize about things she had done, though she had heard the entire time. She is wearing her fall school uniform and has long, black hair.  The Mai Pace album cover, which features Mai sitting on grass while wearing a white dress, a beige sunhat with lillies surrounding the forehead, as well as brown-strap sandals. She is enjoying a blue popsicle and some books.  The Mai character single album cover, which has Mai in a mostly-white void with a green Nichijou logo occupying the floor she's knelt on top of, her hands facing opposite directions and her torso remaining parallel to the floor as her face glances the viewer. She's wearing a lavender V-neck sweater, a white button-up undershirt, a long burgundy skirt and black socks. Surrounding Mai are her dogs, of which her cat is laying on her torso, on the verge of falling off, a Maitreya statue, a knight helmet she previously wore to a late Halloween activity with Yuuko, a stack of books neatly closed, and two open books lying on top of each other with their spines facing up.  Mai and Yuuko's eyes lock as their faces are lit by sunset. Yuuko has short, pale brown hair. They are wearing their fall school uniforms. Yuuko holds an honest, agape expression in response to Mai's attempted advances. Mai continues to hold her open books, which are lying on top of each other, a common behavior of hers.

Sayaka Kanamori (Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!)

i'm an executive producer on an animated series. i'm tall. i feel like i'm qualified

Kanamori, as she appears in the opening for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!. She is considerably tall, and has a long blue skirt which hide her dark gry leggings as a part of her school uniform to match her long legs. She also wears a blue dress shirt with a white collar, along with a white undershirt and a teal tie. Her shoes, normally brown, appear a grayish-blue in this stylized illustration. She has long, black hair of which her glasses are nested in on the top of her head. Her expression, which is the case unless exceptionally necessary, consists of furrowed eyebrows and gritted teeth. She is throwing two peace signs as she jumps mid-air with her legs pointing out in opposite directions.  An alternate imnage of Kanamori, also from the opening. Her uniform now appears to be pink, with her leggings now visible from this position. She continues to be mid-jump with the same expression, except her fists are now clenched and extend high above her head. The background is now a yellow quadrilateral.  With her hair tied back in a bun, Kanamori enjoys a bowl of pear broth ramen topped with starfruit. Kanamori, while performing the Akira Slide on her red bicycle, wears a casual zipped-down blue jacket with an orange t-shirt, along with white jeans and a tan beanie, which her glasses nest in as opposed to her hair. She wears red and white sneakers which produce sparks as she brakes.

Patchouli Knowledge (Touhou Project)

she's purple. she's a librarian. she's a WIZARD. she's literally me

Patchouli glances towards the viewer while facing her body away from them. She has long, purple hair and purple eyes. She is wearing a nightcap with a yellow crescent moon and a very long and very light lavender dress with frilly amythest accents. She's flipping through pages on a leather-binded book.  Patchouli faces the viewer, smiling, her gaze sitting in between her book and the viewer. She's wearing the same nightcap with a slightly different light lavender dress with darker violet accents.  A grayscale illustration of Patchouli looks off to the right, unammused. She's sitting on a chair outside while holding a book. Bows near the end of her hair are visible, which are normally red and blue.

Puffball (BFDIA/BFB/TPOT)

she was like. my first ever kin probably. when I took care of my puffball mii more than the mii meant to represent me in tomodachi life I should've known it was all downhill from there

Puffball with a very squiggly mouth, an indicator of her satisfaction with consuming some delicious cake. She is pink and has large tufts of fur as her body, she appears circular in nature.  Puffball equipped with the Brain Wave, an invention of Golf Ball's which brings ideas into reality. The Brain Wave features two antennas and a large display which rests above the wearer's eyes. There is a large button to the left of the display with an up arrow printed on it. Two buttons with no markers appear to the right of the display.  Puffball awkwardly fumbling a block into her mouth.

Maya Fey (Ace Attorney)

purple and sily

Maya Fey from the Ace Attorney series, with her arms extended and her fingers interlaced behind her back while looking over her shoulder toward the viewer. She has long, black hair with long side bangs with purple spherical clips near their ends. Her hair also has a small bun above her head supported by a small purple hairband, with a larger purple hairband at the end of her hair giving it a narrow tail. She has black eyes. Presently, we can see her wear a purple robe and a white dress that extends below her robe and rests above her knees with a tyrian obi wrapped around it, with a large bow on the front.

Kasane Teto (UTAU/Synthesizer V AI)

she's my favorite utau.... so i decided she was me. i love baguette and margarine

Kasane Teto, a vocal synthesizer who is a Chimera but presents as a human. She has pink hair which has drill-like pigtails referred to as twindrills, as well as a cowlick on the middle of her head. She has red eyes. She is wearing a gray button-up tanktop and skirt with pink accents around the ends and center, and half-sleeves showing her upper arms, where her pink 0401 can be seen. She is wearing a pink belt with a triangular geometric pattern that forms a loop which rests on her left thigh. She is wearing purple headphones over her ears. She is also wearing black thigh-high boots with pink soles and pink accents at the top. Her right hand is resting on her hip while her left hand is pointing her thumb towards her face  An illustration of Teto which parodies the Hatsune Miku Vocaloid 2 boxart, with a similar darker monochrome image of her stance seen in the background. She is shifting her torso back while positioning her hands with her fingertips touching while facing up, but leaving her palms seperate. Teto, as she appears in the music video for Machine Love by Jamie Paige. She is overlaid on a background inspired by the wallpaper seen on the MacOS default theme in MacOS 8.5, with the MacOS logo replaced with an eared robot. Unlike the previous images here, she is comprised of several colors and patterns, ranging from black-and-purple checkerboards, halftone dots on white, crosses on white, purple crosses on black, and normal dots occasionally crossing between highlights and merging with checkerboards. Overall, she is stylized much like a watercolor painting, while bordering on mixed media. She is holding a 5-string bass guitar with her right hand, loosely gripping the head, while her left hand communicates the message 'I love you' in American Sign Language. As she is mid-jump, her twindrills have gravitated upwards, again comprised of several colors along with her signature dark-pink (such as blue, green, yellow, and white highlights). This pallette is present on the rest of the piece, often acting as highlights. She is wearing a white sleeveless shirt, with her left sleeve cut cleanly and her right sleeve cut jaggedly, with two columns of parallel light-pink buttons, one at each side. She is wearing black fingerless gloves, with the right one dotted with spikes on the knuckles and wrists, and her left wrapped in a spiked bracelet. Her back has very large wings attached to it, potentially being a part of her bass guitar strap. Finally, to compliment the lyrics of the chorus, the text 'real?' with a question mark is overlaid using a blend mode on the entire piece.

Lain Iwakura/Lain of the Wired (Serial Experiments Lain)

this feels incredibly out of character for me personally but like. i'd use my power for good

Lain Iwakura stands in the center of frame, her head tilted to the left. She has brown eyes, reddish-brown hair which has a long bang near the right side of her face which is tied in a thick, dense strand, by an X-shaped clip. She is wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a pink jacket over it, also wearing a gray winter hat with red ear flaps. She is holding a red mobile phone with a matching red wrist strap lanyard attached to it. She is surrounded by bright lights as she walks down the street.  Lain sits at her desk, logging out of her Navi. The space around her is relatively uncluttered. Lain is wearing the same outfit as before.  Lain is bent forward on her knees, studying documentation. There are several more electronic components around her than before, with some in the process of being opened and upgraded. Several feet of cables sprawl across the floor. Lain is wearing a plain white dress with thin straps.  Lain looks away from the viewer, towards a power line in the distance which is obscured by trees at the bottom, with another power line running right next to her. She is wearing a light yellow dress without sleeves, with her hands held together behind her back. Her hair sways to the viewer's left in the wind.
