Remember when I drew a villain design for June based on a dream I had?
Wellā¦I decided to draw her again! And I now have a better idea of how Iād imagine her character would play out. (Also please ignore the fact that I forgot to draw her underskirt thingy on one of the doodles, and that her handās the wrong way around on the āshow-accurateā doodle-)
If this was simply a reimagining of the show in general, I think June as a villain would be pretty similar to Big Jet in a couple of ways. By that I mean:
- Sheād be a reoccurring character
- Sheād go around taking peopleās stuff from them
One particular difference between them, though, is that she specificallyĀ steals things that are considered powerful, important or valuable. And that leads to one other thing that makes her different from Big Jet as an antagonist: herĀ reasoning.
Big Jet kept stealing things and antagonising the Little Einsteins becauseā¦well, I think he was just really petty about losing the Great Sky Race? Idk, itās kind of unclear. Meanwhile, I feel like June would be one of those villains who want all the attention onĀ them alone,Ā and often desire it being to the point of worship. (Something-something, āI want people to fear how much they love me.ā) She makes every little thing about herself, and wants everyone else to bow down to her. Too bad the Little EinsteinsĀ always seem to get in her wayā¦
I think sheād send trouble the heroesā way similarly to how OG June gets through obstacles. Sheād use her ability to jump high to her advantage, and manipulate her surroundings with her dancing skills. (Remember when June crushed a bunch of giant toadstools just by jumping on them? Or when she caused popcorn to pop by dancing? I think sheād use that to slow the kids down or make a quick getaway.)
Now, if this were a reimagining ofĀ my main AU specificallyā¦
In my main AU, when June still lived in her old hometown, she wasnāt really liked by that many people. Most people either treated her horribly, or turned their backs on her after finding out she loved music. Only two people legitimately liked her, and they were taken away from her. Thus, she developed an intense need to be loved for who she was, even if she still doesnāt think she deserves it.
Here, she still had this need for love. Except it soon developed into a need for attention. And after a while, she started truly believing that she deserved better than everyone else after how she was treated by others around her.
Like our June, she found herself in Rhythm Heaven and was let in by Sora. But this time, she ran away from the cafĆ© after thinking that everyone here was just like the people in her old hometown. (Thereās more context in Chapter 2 of my latest fic, which I promise Iām working on.) Then an extremely concerned Sora started a missing persons search throughout Rhythm Heaven thatās, surprisingly, still going on in the present.
If Sora were to find out who the girl giving the Little Einsteins a hard time is, sheād be the one person who truly recognises herā¦
