What is Otome Heart like?
Otome Heart, or Lily in her civilian form, is a BIG GAY MESS.
Okay, in all seriousness, she’s one of the younger members of the Heart Warriors (who range in age from 22 to 30) at 24. She’s a recent college grad and a huge optimist who works fast food during the day and not-so-secretly creates and releases dating sims and otome games at night (single-handedly, I should say). A romantic to the core, she creates the characters that she thinks people want to see, which may be why she’s never made more than $25 USD off any game. She’s pretty awful at writing male characters, especially as romance interests, but she’s convinced that’s the way to success. Still, she never stops trying.
Apart from creating these games, Lily enjoys playing other otome games (and then eternally worrying about copying them and trying so hard not to that she screws herself over more in the end). She’s a hopeless romantic and also goes on a lot of dates, but hasn’t found the right girl yet. Lily is a good cook and likes to try new recipes when she takes a break from writing, drawing, and coding. Despite her optimism, she often gets stressed. The other Heart Warriors have offered to help her create a game (which is kind of a Big Deal cause they’re ALL writers and she’s the least successful of the bunch), but she politely declines… this is her thing to do, and she refuses to ride on their successes. She’s proud and determined, as you might be able to tell.
This all shows in her magical girl form! As Otome Heart, she’s got the power of empathy and can read her opponent’s emotions like a book (which sounds lame, but is a huge benefit for reading what is and isn’t a trap). She’s a fierce fighter and never gives up. In fact, of the entire team, she’s the most like a typical magical girl.
