what were the design choices you made when creating cherub? :]

hooray! happy 6th of cherub! i have to say that cherub is Not a sona, but she does draw a lot from me :] though i guess i designed her in mind of being a bit of a cissona

Silly maybe but i'm wondering how and when Claryce would have gone to buy that skirt suit she's wearing in your last post.. Is it a cheap-ish one she got, did she go someplace fancier, etc?

Ooh good question! Answering that one right away because it's quick, but to answer shortly it's half "recycled", half new. c: The skirt is roughly the same one as the one she wore as a librarian! (I even colour-picked her whole outfit from the school library skirt alone)

See this as a kind of "fuck you" to Chalmers (who's one of the reasons she accepted Bob's deal to begin with) - getting to wear part of the outfit of a place she was very serious about, except she's not working for him anymore. Not that he'd notice anyway, but it's for her own little pride (and it's cheaper, too, even if she had a tailor rework it so it fits properly).

As for the top... She can thank the D'Amicos for that one. As soon as they learnt the news, Fat Tony and Giulietta paid her a visit to congratulate her (plus it's convenient to have family in such a position...), and upon seeing her cheap-attempt to look fancy, they went "no, this won't do" and got a tailor to improve the skirt + work on the upper part of the suit. Then Giulietta styled Claryce's hair (giving her some mother tips as she did so, as you can imagine). c: As a silly detail: the thighs are simply because she doesn't want to bother shaving her legs. :')

Bob was actually planning to get her an outfit to thank her for accepting the position, only to get (pleasantly) surprised when he welcomed her on the first day. :3c

Time questions for Claryce: Never, Minutes, Fortnight !

Time-centered OC asks - Accepting!

Never- What is something your OC would never do? A line they’d never cross, or something they’d never say?

Harming or killing someone. It may sound very cliché, but coming from her family background it does make sense; from both sides there's a sense of violence. Her father training her into a fierce soldier to fight (and maybe die, if she had actually left with him) as an "American hero"; and her mother's family whose name alone is enough to give any Springfield citizen some chills down their spine. And the worst thing in the middle of all of this? Between her father's teaching and the stories and numerous pieces of advice she hears from the Mob?

She could do it. In a realistic context, she'd have long forgotten her father's lessons, but in a cartoony and character development aspect? She could rely on skills and knowledge she tries so hard to suppress, should she end in a desperate situation. And that truly scares her. Because she doesn't want to. She'd never go as far as considering it. But can she trust herself, the day she'll be pushed against the wall...? So, deep inside. She's glad Bob never tried to kill her.

Minutes- How would your OC describe themselves?

She's very humble. And tries very hard to not belittle herself, even if you could perceive it in the tone of her voice. She doesn't want to become the hero her father wants her to be, nor force a sense of fear and respect like the D'Amicos. She just want to exist in her little corner of the universe; and share it with her loved ones, should they want to be part of it. But she'd be lying if she said didn't like the thrill Bob brings in her life. But it's not like she'll admit it.

Fortnight- What is your OC’s short term goal? What do they want to achieve soon?

Build the courage to get out of her comfort zone more often so she can make more friends, learn how to cook, and earn enough money to upgrade her desktop computer!

And perhaps gain enough confidence so she can also convince Chalmers and Skinner to invest on better PCs for the school library. She's only so close to start acting like the guy for whom she keeps shoving her romantic interests under her emotional rug.

Introduce your Simpsons OC to us with 1 word, 1 sentence, 1 song, and 1 picture (not necessarily of her, any pic that feels like it fits) :]

Hello!! This is my Simpsons OC, Cherub Berg :] See her intro post here! Or see her with her friends!

1 word: Hmmm... Devoted :]

1 sentence: Ned Flanders' fiancée, Cherub is a woman whose deep affections and loyalties are one in the same - despite the all the haunting doubts...

1 song: I have many songs in mind when it comes to Cherub ! But maybe one of the ones I associate with her most is Catabolic Seed by The Scary Jokes .. Don't worry about the implications ! ^^

1 picture: I don't really have any images in mind for her, I'm not really the moodboard kind of person - but thank you for learning more about Cherub !

Has Virginia ever interacted with the Springfield police? How would it go? What do they think of Wiggum? :]c

Ooo, I haven't considered that!

I feel like at most they'd maybe get hit with a parking ticket or so (I can see a joke where they do like a really shitty job parallel parking, but they only get fined for going 20 minutes above the parking meter) and they don't really consider them competent enough at anything other than meter maids. Though I can also see her getting a little more antsy around them after she starts dating Fran...

Virginia considers Wiggum an oaf within his job, but at the very least he's a good father. (She thinks his wife is hot though.)
