Hi, it's been a while since I've been here, but I have a question/headcanon about your OC: what would Keiko's birthday be if you had to choose a date?
Hello! Don't worry, I've been really busy too so I haven't been able to be as active as before. Other than that, I'm happy to answer another question for Keiko!
I did think about her birthday but forgot to include it in the presentation. Keiko's birthday would be July 30th. She's a Lion girlie and honestly I think she fits!
Keiko was created with the intention of coexisting with the protagonist, while having her own story and relationships with the Diaboys. All the art is made by me.

Overview
Keiko is a second year student at Ryōtei Academy in which she acts as the president of her own class. She's an energetic girl with confidence and a loud mouth.
Keiko's from a wealthy family, her father owns a successful traditional tea house and her mother worked in it as a geisha. Her mother left the profession right before getting married but still taught Keiko about the traditional ways, getting her into fan dancing since she was little. The strictly traditional upbringing never fit Keiko and eventually she distanced herself from her parents' ways. She became loud, overbearing and sometimes arrogant when confronted with something that she was not comfortable or okay with.
Keiko took upon the class president role since the very first year. She masks it as desire to help, making sure to help her peers, meditate with the teachers on their behalf and it partially is, but she does it so she can feel superior. She isn't narcissistic but she's egocentric even if she doesn't outright show it.
Despite her sometimes volatile attitude and egocentric tendencies, Keiko is not a bad person. She offers help more often than not and is very attentive towards the people around her. If someone's mood shifts, she senses it immediately and acts accordingly, always ready to step in when things get tough. She's a loyal friend, can get overly friendly the more you get to know her. She memorizes people's tics and motions with ease.

I think that's enough for now. Her relationship with the Diaboys will get art and possibly headcanons, so stay tuned for that. I hope you like her as much as I like her, she's my baby after all! Please do not repost without credit, I made the sprites and the template myself.
