RIKU SOMA REDESIGN!!

hihihihihihihihihihihi

Let's jump straight into my problems, which aren't many. So, Riku's accent, for some inexplicable reason, is a pisspoor attempt at a British RP accent. This is such a bafflingly odd decision when no other character has a remotely similar accent, so I would give him a posh American accent, if that makes sense. The reason, I guess, is because Riku's like super rich or whatever but like come on. Also, his eyes were changed from purple to red after 9 of the Rainbow 12 were removed, so he is now the only Rainbow bitch with eyes that don't match his hair. No. I don't know if anyone's clocked it, but all the boys have eyes a darker shade of their main colour and the girls have lighter shades. This was just a fun little style choice I made so purple eyes for Riku! god i'm fucking tired sorry this post may not be making that much sense.

Before Sora was removed, PedoDev said him and Riku were as close as Saki and Kokona, so I've revived that. Also, Riku's reason for liking Kokona is basically 'Dr. Pepper baby it's good and nice' which lets be so for real this is a dumbass reason. Also I hate how matchmaking suitors will just change their whole look for a girl. It's not very realistic and it just makes them seem way WAY too desperate. I have a feeling Mr. Mahan is just projecting a bit there. BIO

Riku comes from a very rich family. He’s mixed race, being half Swiss on his mother’s side, which is where his family's wealth comes from. He grew up in vast rooms and gardens alone, being an only child. He was always quite lonely and always yearned for personal connections. In middle school, he met his best friend, Sora, and despite an awkward start, the two boys became very close. However, Riku always wanted something more in his life. This feeling was worsened in high school, as Sora got a girlfriend, Saki, and Sora had to split his attention between his friends and his relationship. Riku eventually met Kokona and was instantly drawn to her. He found her shy, nice personality and her looks to be absolutely perfect. Riku, unintentionally, has a bit of a saviour complex, and often likes to use his wealth to treat and help the people he cares about. If Kokona had a financial problem, Riku would immediately swoop in to do what he could to help.

yayyyyy that's all of the rainbow boys done, just one more to close out all 12.

SAKI MIYU REDESIGN!!

Saki is easily the most important person to Kokona, so there is gonna be quite a bit to discuss!

First of all, it's pretty important to talk about how her story is being changed. uh long story short SHE'S NOT GONNA BE UNNECESSARILY SEXUALISED! Cause genuinely tell me why it was a requirement to have Saki help Kokona in compensated dating and how her task is finding her literal BRA. This would already be side eye worthy if she was a fully grown adult, but she's 18 at best. No. So, she instead helps Kokona by using money she gets from working at Amai's bakery! Kokona's sexualisation is also removed, but you'll get that in her post, whenever that may be.

Saki's had a lot of hair types, so I decided to pick the one from 2016. we can all agree this is her best one, right? It sure as fuck isn't the one from like 2019. That shit's ugly as fuck. Here's her bio!

Saki is a lively and bubbly girl. She’s the newest member of the Cooking Club, having joined at the start of her third year. For her first two years at school, she was a dedicated member of the Sports Club, but she had had enough of it and desired a change and a more relaxing experience at school. Her best friend, Kokona Haruka, is very dear to Saki, and the two of them talk for hours every day. Kokona tells Saki all of her issues, which Ayano can easily use to her advantage. Saki also has a boyfriend, Sora Sosuke. Their relationship inspires a lot of envy from some of the meaner single girls at Buraza Sakura, and this could also pose as a useful tool to Ayano if she had something she could turn into gossip. Saki cares deeply about those closer to her, and with her two years of intense sports under her belt, she easily has the strength to protect her loved ones from any harm.

Now, in game, she'd make Week 1, and especially Friday, difficult by here being around Kokona a lot. They walk to school together, obviously chat with all their friends, and on Friday, Kokona is doing Cooking Club activity with Saki to see if its for her. Saki won't leave Kokona's side under normal circumstances, so Ayano would have to manipulate the situation to get Kokona alone. Shoku is confident, but he crumbles under stress, so him and Saki have a small partnership in the Cooking Club to deal with stressful situations in Amai's absence. Her two years in the Sports Club will also make her difficult to take out and she will go even harder if you kill Kokona in front of her.

SORA SOSUKE REDESIGN!!

I love Sora so much oh my god

So, I put Sora in the Cooking Club only really cause Saki is there, BUT oh my god I love him right

So as for his hair, I always preferred his hair over his eye look, so I did that for this design. I also made him chubby because I feel like that really fits his vibes too, I wanted to just make him a really nice wholesome guy and I think I succeeded, not to brag. here's his biooo

Sora is one of the friendliest people at Buraza Sakura High School. He always puts everything he can into his baking and loves nothing more than seeing people smile at a sweet treat. The kindness he has is infectious and is why he is one of the most liked students at school. Most of his time spent at school outside of cooking consists of going around the school with his basket that has become so synonymous with him and handing out food to anyone he sees, or spending time with his girlfriend, Saki, who is also in the Cooking Club. He managed to win her over in their first year with the good-heartedness that warms the rest of the school to him and they have had a completely smooth sailing relationship since.

And that's Soraaa! My favourite. You're not meant to have favourite children, but I do, and Sora's my favourite. Look at him and tell me you don't love him, you fucking monsters.

RYUSEI KOKI REDESIGN!!

let's just jump right into it

When I said Hayato was the ultimate nothing burger, I may have underestimated. Ryusei genuinely has nothing going for him. He's just there. BUT! I can work this into his character by just making him a boy who is quiet and doesn't emote much.

In the News Club, he's sort of a secretary, and if you're looking to expel or bully your rival, you'll need to go through him and make him believe your rumour before he will approve it. As Ayano will be an investigator, you'll do this by taking a photo and telling him the story alongside. For example, spreading a rumour that Kokona abuses cats by riling up the cat outside the school, telling Kokona the cat is completely safe to pet, and taking a picture of the cat attacking her. A bit of an off the cuff idea, but you get the gist. Anyways, bio time!

Ryusei is a very stoic and shrewd boy. He has the highest intelligence of any second-year, and most of the third-years too. He has always been fascinated with information and liking to know everything, so he was very quick to join the News Club in his first year. He’s almost like a secretary of the club, where people give their stories to him and he decides whether or not to approve them. There are many ways Ayano could choose to eliminate her rivals, and the News Club could be a useful avenue for her if she wants to keep blood off her hands. All she needs to do is make it convincing enough for Ryusei to believe, which won’t be easy.

MEI MIO REDESIGN!!

Finally back after a few months so lets get the fuck back on with this!

So, Mei is in the News Club, so i think i should chat a bit about it. The News Club (or Newspaper as known ingame) is exclusive to 1989 as before Ayano's time everyone stopped joining it. But, I think it can serve a good purpose in 2016 mode as well. In 1989, The Newspaper Club can be used to eliminate your rival via gossiping by shittalking her in an article. First of all, it's very lazy, and secondly, it doesn't even make sense cause surely someone would pull her up on it, be a teacher or the leader of the club.

So, I think each club member has a role to play. I'll go more into it on Ryusei's post (which will drop 10 minutes after this one), but Mei plays the role of the investigator, which means she is the one who goes out and looks for content. Ayano would also be an investigator, and so you'd want to keep a good relationship with Mei if you want to eliminate your rival via gossip or expulsion, especially as each rival gets harder to defeat.

As for her design, I never liked the bun personally. I know that so many do, but I've always missed the tritails, and not the little droopy fucks YanDiddler gave her that one time. Anywayssss, here's her bio

Thanks for reading! I haven't written one of these in like 5 months, and I've fucking missed it. TTYL! in like 10 minutes

Mei has always been extremely curious, needing to know everything about everything. This stems from her mother, who is a big gossip. Mei’s curiosity comes from a less nefarious place, however. As such, when she joined Buraza Sakura High School, it was a no-brainer that she was to join the News Club. In the club, she takes the role of the investigator, finding the ideal scoops to put in the weekly paper. By the time Mei’s (and Ayano’s) second year began, there was starting to be very little to report on. Mei began to pray for anything to investigate, even something as bad as, for example, a bunch of people dying under mysterious circumstances. In the event that that would happen, the News Club will be doing everything they can to get to the bottom of it, much to the detriment of the killer in question.

probs goes without saying if you've read the other girls' bio but on thursday kokona will hang with mei and they'll do news stuff

HAYATO HARUKI REDESIGN!!

I'm at college typing this I feel so cheeky but anyways let's move on

So Hayato is probably the ultimate nothing burger of the Rainbow 12. Like none of them are that interesting in-game (minus the important ones), but Hayato I feel is the most lacking in substance. Maybe that's just a me thing, but I don't know. So, as mentioned in my Koharu post, they're in a relationship.

I made him a bit more tanned cause I felt like it suited the character I'm going for (more on that in his bio) and I tried to give him a defined, more buff-looking body. It worked, if my best friend's reaction is anything to go by (Hayato is now on his hear me out cake). Not much more to say so here's bio.

Hayato was raised with quite traditional values. He was part of a stereotypical nuclear family; a masculine father who had a physically intensive construction job, a feminine mother who did housework and cooking, and three children, two boys, and one girl, who was the youngest. Hayato was the oldest son, and as such, he was determined to achieve the same thing for himself. He began martial arts at a very young age and was always one of, if not the, strongest boys in his year. He entered high school still set on his dream, and joined the Martial Arts Club. He heard there was another person in his class in the Martial Arts Club, and he was sure that he would have a strong rivalry with him. He went to his first club session, when he learnt that his supposed rival was a girl - Koharu Hinata. Hayato was sure he could beat her, so he immediately challenged her to a fight - and promptly lost. He gained a new found respect for Koharu, and eventually women as a whole, and as he spent more time with Koharu, his conservative ideals began to wear down, while his relationship with Koharu strengthened. At the end of their first year, Hayato confessed his love to Koharu, and despite being hesitant at first, Koharu eventually agreed, as long as Hayato knew they were to be complete equals. Hayato understood, and the two have been one of Buraza Sakura's biggest and strongest power couples since then.

When some people give depth to the Rainbow Twelve, a common trend is to make them all either siblings or dating, and it tends to be pretty much all or nothing. I don't really agree with this. I think all or nothing is a bit lazy and removes the characters of agency in a way. I only have a few couples in the Rainbow Twelve, and I chose Koharu and Hayato because I was sure they'd have a fun dynamic with their two different backgrounds converging.

That's all I have for now but thanks for reading! We're officially halfway through the rainbow 12!

KOHARU HINATA REDESIGN!!

Another character I just kind of like for no discernible reason, here's Koharu!

So, Koharu does have a few things to talk about. Let's start with her hair. She's had a whopping twelve different hairstyles, all of which are varieties of pigtails, so I had to settle on one. Personally, I think it's a no-brainer that her 2017-2018 hair looks the best, so I modelled it after that. The earlier ones are too kind of plain to do anything with, and the ones after that are from the 80s, and for some reason, they made her hair, like, really flat.

Her persona and club do carry a fun bit of trivia. Of course, nowadays, Koharu has the Heroic persona, but there was a brief period from November 12th 2015 to February 1st 2016 where Koharu had the Heroic persona. That's why before Koharu was re-added into 1989 mode, people who would nod the game and bring her back would make her Heroic and put her in the Martial Arts Club, which is what I've also done.

I haven't drawn her or Hayato (who is also in the Martial Arts Club) with the Martial Arts Club bandana, because you don't tend to just wear them normally. So, the club members will only don the bandanas when they put on their club outfits. Oh, and also, here's her bio.

Koharu is a passionate feminist. Her friends are the people she cares about most and she is always willing to defend them. Her mother’s best friend was a victim of sexual harassment many years ago, and she made sure to teach Koharu and her three sisters the importance of staying safe as women. Koharu always listened keenly to this, and developed a love of martial arts at an early age. In her friend group, Koharu is the most talkative, the one to speak most when someone approaches them, she’s essentially the face of the group. She’s well known for having a very strong intuition - it’s said she can figure out a person within minutes, with a very high success rate. Koharu will more than likely get a good or bad feeling from Ayano depending on what plans are going through her head.

And that's another one done. As with the other Rainbow Girls, Kokona would hang out with Koharu on Wednesday of Week 1 and they'll explore martial arts together.

SOTA YUKI REDESIGN!!

It's been a while since I posted Haruto, so you get a double dosage of me today! Here's what I've done with Sota!

Sota, like Yuna, doesn't have too much to be said about. One small change I made was that I added more to the side of his hair, cause I felt his hair was rather lacking. There was also a distinct attempt to give him a different body shape. He's not trim and fit like Haruto, but he's not chubby like Rentaro, he's sort of in-between.

Fun fact, this is not my first time drawing Sota. His original redesign was really ugly, and by the time I drew Ryusei, I couldn't take it anymore. It was well worth it! Sota's easily one of my favourites. I was also going to make him the Photography Club leader, replacing Fureddo, but in the end, I decided against it, because if he was going to spend most of his time in the plaza chatting with his friends, it would be hard for the player to join the club, since leaders have to be near the club to join it. Which, admittedly, is a weird game design choice, especially since it doesn't apply in Custom Mode, but you know. Here's his bio btw!

Sota has always been a jokey, lighthearted optimist. Someone who doesn't take anything very seriously, and isn't taken very seriously himself. He joined the Photography Club after he found out it was really just a glorified hangout spot. It surprised the whole school when he became best friends with Haruto Yuto, who was infamous for being very badly behaved and having gone to juvie before even starting high school. Everyone was baffled as to why someone as sunny as Sota was with someone with Haruto's murky past. The reason was simple - Sota prefers to focus on the present instead of the past. He saw Haruto's desire to leave his past behind and respected it. This had always been Sota's life philosophy and he was proud of it. This doesn't make him complacent though. If something terrible was happening in school, say something unlikely, like a killer unleashing terror upon the students, Sota would step in and do whatever he could to keep Buraza Sakura High School a place where people can be free of worries. This could prove to be a very problematic obstacle if Ayano wishes to go down a dark path.

His bio was also originally a lot shorter, but I kept getting more ideas and kept adding them. But that's it for Sota! Hope you enjoyed the double dose, and see you next time!

YUNA HINA REDESIGN!!

The second of the rainbow girls, it's Yuna! I've always loved her for some reason, despite never getting any real personality, but this is where that is all going to change! Here's what I've done!

As part of my putting the Rainbow Twelve in clubs scheme, I landed on the Photography Club for Yuna and Sota. The carefree nature of that club best represents the personalities I have in mind for them. For both of them, I changed the shade of yellow they used. For all of these guys, I'm leaning into how they were portrayed before being cut from the game in 2018, but back then Sota and Yuna's hair were this mouldy piss yellow colour which I really dislike. Then in 1989 they were both made blonde, which I also wasn't a fan of. I think they should just be yellow, like just a regular yellow, so that's what I gave them.

But enough for them both, let's focus on Yuna herself. I am partial to her design, so there wasn't a huge change made, but her ponytail is more sleek and curvy in an attempt to separate it from Yui. I kept her little ahoge that comes out of her hairband because I just really have an affinity for it for some reason, I really like it. There isn't too much to say about her because, again, I really like her design, so here's her backstory.

Yuna is a sunny, bubbly, cheerful girl, and she always has been. She’s dedicated her life to making the world a better place as much as she can - one of the few students at Buraza Sakura High School with absolutely no blemishes on her record. She's on good terms with almost everyone at school, but she has a circle of friends she is very close with. One of her closest friends is Yui, the most recent girl to join their group. Yui introduced true crime to Yuna, and it got her very interested. She ended up joining the photography club, a club that focuses a lot on criminology as well as photography… or at least, it would, but the leader and club members aren't all that interested in being serious - for now, at least.

Her bio is the shortest one so far, but unfortunately, I don't have too much to say about Yuna. I do love her though! As for her role hypothetically in-game, Kokona would follow her around on Tuesday and they'd do photography activities together, something like walking around the outside of the school and taking pictures of nature, as well as Yuna geeking out about true crime to Kokona and dissecting all sorts of images. But that's all I have for now, but keep your eyes open for new posts, and remember to send any asks about my headcanons for these characters, I'm happy to answer them! Bye!

HARUTO YUTO REDESIGN!!

The next character relating to the first rival, and surprisingly only the second boy I've drawn so far! He's not technically important to the first rival, but he's important to her suitor, so it counts! Here's what I've done to Haruto!

Out of the Rainbow Twelve, I think Haruto is one of the top 3 with the most to talk about with his design. This is going to be very niche knowledge, but back in 2016 when matchmaking was first implemented, Haruto was given an earring cause Kokona found it hot. I'm not fully sure if it's still on him in the current game, I don't think it is. It was silver, but I changed it to gold cause it matched his colour pallette better. Obviously, he has a beret, as the other art club members do, and he has the red uniform, for obvious reasons.

For some reason, all the male characters in Yandere Simulator just have regular white socks, while female characters have all sorts of funky shit. So, I let the boys join in on the fun and gave Haruto some red socks. Also, the Rainbow Girls had cute friendship bracelets but the boys didn't, so now they do! Gender equality, isn't it amazing?

I also gave him dark skin cause skin colour is one of the many many MANY things with zero representation in Yandere Simulator. I didn't really choose Haruto for any reason in particular, though. I don't know if this is going to cause a ruckus cause people (especially on TikTok) get very panini pressed about blackwashing. This might sound bad, but I really don't care about blackwashing. If there is a cast of characters 100 people large and all of them are pale-skinned with the exception of 2 (double both of those numbers if you include 1980s mode), then there are going to HAVE to be some pale-skinned characters that are turned dark-skinned for the sake of representation. Sorry! But I'm not though. Finally, I'm gonna add his bio, here it is.

Haruto grew up in an extremely controlling family. His mother and father were the definition of helicopter parents, and did their best to always keep tabs on their children. Haruto, the middle child, wasn't a fan of this arrangement and began to rebel more and more as he grew up. This originally innocent rebellion, though, was changed completely when Haruto started middle school. Haruto's father is an immigrant from Jamaica, and his mother is Japanese. Haruto's mixed ethnicity made him a big target for racism at school, and he was discriminated against heavily. This drove Haruto to become a very vengeful person, and his rebellious activities were becoming more and more delinquentine. When he was 15, he got into a very big argument with his parents, who completely disapproved of his increasingly bad behaviour. The argument climaxed when Haruto's mother made a hurtful comment about the colourism he faced in school, and Haruto left the house. By the time his parents woke up the next morning, their cars, front door, windows, walls - almost the entire outside of the house was completely vandalised with crude drawings and violent language. Haruto was caught quickly and spent 2 months in a Juvenile Training School. By the time he came out, he no longer acted on his violent tendencies. He expressed them by getting into art, but he still carried a lot of anger issues that weren't easy to heal. He was recently liberated from his parents’ grip after further investigation was done, and now lives with his older brother. He was accepted into a group of friends who saw past his tough exterior and didn't care at all about the colour of his skin, as good people should, and they've become close very quickly. However, Haruto still holds a lot of grudges. Kids who were racist to him growing up not being punished, or worse yet, being rewarded due to what Haruto ended up doing. This is something Ayano might be able to use to her benefit.

And that's it for Haruto! Thanks for reading!!

YUI RIO REDESIGN!!

We're officially in the territory of the first rival. Obviously since it isn't Osana, you might expect it to be Amai, but no! Kokona is now going to be the first rival, like god intended. Yui being here might raise some eyebrows considering she was shafted to the 80's, so here's what's going on with her. (also fun fact tumblr fucked up and deleted 90% of this post so this is me typing it again kill me)

So, in mid-2018, nine of the Rainbow Twelve (Yui, Haruto, Yuna, Sota, Koharu, Hayato, Mei, Ryusei, Saki, Sora, Kokona, Riku - removed - not removed) were removed from the game to improve the frame rate (which went well /s). The removed students were later readded to 1980's mode, which is just a really bad compromise. They were removed before all clubs were added so why couldn't they just be put in clubs like Riku, Saki and Kokona?

Quick side note, for those who don't know, their names were picked by taking the 12 most popular Japanese names from 2012 for some reason, and Yui was the most popular, and Rio was 2nd most, so she was called Yui Rio. This was also done with the teachers. You might wonder why her name has gone unchanged then, but I found out that for the rainbow students, all of the firstname-lastnames are real last names! Like, for example, Yui Rio can be written as 夢 李汪.

For her design, all I changed was giving her her old long stockings as they are objectively superior, and making her little baby dick ponytail longer cause I think that looks better. Her eyes are also now a light red.

As for her info, I changed the Evil personality to be the Misanthrope personality. Evils used to smile and be happy whenever anyone died, and wouldn't even call the police after leaving school, but that is kind of overpowered so I wanted to change it. AreYouCodingDev made an attempt to do this with the Spiteful persona but failed. One because Spiteful is an ass name cause it sounds like a bratty child, but it was also really weird, cause they'd only have the evil reaction to a low reputation student, or a bully if they were bullied. This is just... dumb. In my version, people with the Misanthrope personality will have the evil reaction on specific students they don't like. This will change for every Misanthrope student. Yui pretty much hates everyone (me too gurl me too /sar)

I wanted to put the Rainbow students in clubs, and I chose the Art Club for Yui so she can vent her dark interests (you'll see). And for one more thing before we get to her bio, YandiddyDev originally had a story for her that involved her being evil cause she betrayed Kuu Dere so she could have friends or something but that's dumb ngl. And I can say that cause he basically admitted it for once. Anyway, here's my take on Yui.

Yui grew up with parents who weren’t all that attentive about what she was up to on the internet. She watched gore, horror and true crime content from the age of just five. This desensitised her to these subjects early on, and she began to get weirdly fascinated by it. As a child, she didn’t pick up that she should probably hide these feelings from other children, and she developed a bad reputation as a weird, freaky kid at best, and a potentially violent danger at worst, and she was often bullied by the other children who thought she was a complete weirdo. This changed when she was twelve. Her parents split up, her mother won custody of her, and she chose to move back in with Yui’s grandmother in Buraza Town. Here, she had a completely fresh start, and when she met who would become her current friend group, she attempted to hide her fascination with violence and appear to be completely normal. A few of her friends also had interests in true crime, much to Yui's delight, however this soured once she realised that their interests were just that - interests - and Yui feared that if she ever revealed the extent of her liking and knowledge, she’d be ejected from her friend group and isolated all over again, so she just pretended to be normal. To this day, five years later, her friends have no idea just how deep her obsession goes. This has caused her originally innocent interest to turn her bitter, and develop into a form of sadism, boiling inside of her, waiting to come out. This could be a useful tool for Ayano to use to her advantage.

Lastly, as one of the first rival's what I call 'key people', I'm gonna add a small tidbit on what she would be like in an ingame role. So, not to go in too deep to Kokona, she is looking for a club to join throughout her week, and also to hone some skills to impress Rentaro. On Monday, Kokona will hang out with Yui during club time, and she will try art. Obviously, in the morning, the whole group are gonna chat together, but that's whatever else they'll be doing.

But that's all I've got for Yui! Thanks for reading!

SAKYU BASU AND INKYU BASU REDESIGN!!

Hey! I felt like taking a break from scripting the first rival video so I quickly decided to draw my redesigns for these two! Some of the earliest characters in the game - Sakyu and Inkyu Basu. Here’s what I did to them!

So, for simplicity, let's quickly cover their renaming. I decided to call them Saku Basugi (咲 馬杉) and Inko Basugi (韻子 馬杉). I chose these names cause they were the real Japanese names I could find that were closest to their original names. I was originally considering Saku and Ibuki Mitsuhara, but I ditched them cause they had too many syllables and didn't sound as fun to say? Like say Inkyu Basu, and then say Ibuki Mitsuhara. That's why I chose Inko Basugi over that. I also hue shifted them from purple and pink to blue and red to 100% separate them from the Unity models from which they originated.

As for their stories... these two are another pair of yikers. This is because Mr. Else If decided it would be a spectacular idea to add magical fantasy to his high school murder game. This was actually one of the earliest odd lore decisions he made, being in late November 2015. Though, up until this time last year almost, their bios said they were just suspected of being monsters by the Occult Club, so that's what I'm choosing to take inspiration from. We do not need two hundred year old vampires with their own lore and rules to their species in this shit. It's simply unnecessary. Honestly, I think it all comes from PedoDev spending so long on this game that he writes other things to avoid boredom and just tacks it onto this already bloated project. 2 centuries of monster lore? Sure, why not? A World War 2 AU Mulan fanfiction? Who's gonna stop me? It just isn't necessary.

So what inspiration is there to glean from these two girls? A few things. First of all, they have a close relationship with each other. They rely on each other heavily and feel miserable without one another. Secondly, they're looking for their mother. Obviously ingame this is in the literal sense, but metaphorically this can be reinterpreted as a longing for a maternal figure that isn't present, whether by her own volition or not. They also don't have a dad, which is why they rely on each other. So, this is what I've whipped up with this information.

Saku and Inko Basugi are twin sisters. For some inexplicable reason, everyone who meets their family feels vaguely uncomfortable with them. Some conspiracy theorists and staunch believers in the supernatural think they are secretly centuries-old monsters, but of course, those are just ridiculous rumours. Rumours can have great effects though, as their lives were quickly marked with tragedy when soon after their birth, their father was killed by one of these supernatural fanatics. Their mother was heartbroken at this loss, and was often neglectful of the twins growing up, as she focused on herself. This led Saku and Inko to grow up very reliant on each other. They grew up seeking maternal love and getting none, so they settled on each other being the other's rock. Saku, the more intelligent and sensible sister, had ambitions of great things for the two of them without needing any help from their mother, so they aimed for the top, enrolling in Buraza Sakura High School at age 16, joining as first years. They conquered high school as a double threat - Inko, the more bouncy, talkative sister, leading the way in socialising, while Saku organised studies for them both. While some admired their efforts, no one ever pursued becoming their friends - with the exception of the Mythology Club, who were very interested in the sisters, and tried to get them to join. When they were approached, they saw a side of the sisters no one else had. While their few social interactions were always friendly, this was different. Their smiles dropped from their faces, and they were looked at with nothing but contempt. Saku turned them down before the club president could even get a word in. This led to some rumours spreading around school, especially with some of those obsessed with the mysterious being the parents of some of Buraza Sakura's students. The sisters ignored this, though, and simply continued on as they were.

Sorry if that was way too long and rambly! It's a pitfall I come across too often; I start writing and just can't stop. But that's the end of this post! Sorry it wasn't a start on the first rival, but trust me, I'm hard at work on writing bios for this tumblr, and writing the scripts for their YouTube video. On the topic of that - the Basugi sisters won't be getting a video yet. My priority is on the first rival (unlike someone), and probably after that video, I'll draw some more randoms and give them a video. But thanks for reading! Have a great day! or night considering it's now 10pm for me lmao

btw if youve seen this post before and feel like the basugi sisters look different its bc i slightly updated their drawings ok thx

OSANA NAJIMI AND RAIBARU FUMETSU REDESIGN!!

Today, I give you the gift of two characters! But, for a price. I won’t be giving you bios for these two like I did for Ayano and Rentaro. BUT THERE’S A REASON! Let’s dive into how I changed Osana and Raibaru.

I have big plans for Osana and Raibaru, or Rikiko, as I changed her name to. Osana, in the game, is the first rival, but I’ve decided that this will no longer be. Osana is no longer the first rival. She’s still very important though! As I said in Ayano and Rentaro’s redesigns, The four of them are in a friend group and they have been since childhood. They’ll get a big post detailing their stories later, but I wanted to show these two off now cause they’re very important.

OSANA NAJIMI:

I actually really like Osana’s design. A lot of people like to chop her hair, but I’m honestly a fan of her long hair. It makes her stick out from the like thirty other characters with long twintails. She has extra long premium twintails. Most of Osana’s changes come from her colours. Her bright orange hair has been toned down to a ginger. She also has freckles now! Again, it was to make her stick out. That’s the basis for a lot of the choices I made for her, cause she’s an important character.

I had an issue with how warm Osana’s colour pallette was. It’s all orange, hints of yellow and her salmon pink accessories. I wanted her to have some coolness, so I changed her eyes, scrunchies and stockings to a bright blue. A lot of people do that for Osana’s designs, and I love love LOVE people who design Osana that way. I also paid a homage to her original design by giving her leg warmers on top of her classic polka dot stockings cause they were a bit too overbearing. I also scratched her ribbon on her head cause it caused a bit too much clutter.

I also gave Osana a few accessories! A cat hair clip, cat bracelet, I gave her two hairbands on her wrist, and obviously the quarter of a heart necklace for the friend group.

RIKIKO FUNASE:

Obviously, first things first, I changed Raibaru’s name. Raibaru Fumetsu literally means Indestructible Rival in Japanese. Yes, she suffers from the PedoDev naming disorder. I wanted a name that meant strength or power, as it's key to her character, and a name that kept the same initials, so I chose Rikiko Funase (力子 船勢).

As for her design, obviously her and Osana share the same design origin, so I wanted to give her a more seperate identity from Osana. I made her blonde, because in the old intro cutscene from 2014, Ayano calls Rival-chan blonde, so I decided to give that to her. Rival-chan also had a purple ribbon, so I gave that to Rikiko and made her accent colours purple as well.

I changed her hairstyle to side ponytails? I don’t really know what to call it, but you can see it. Unless you’re blind. Sorry.

And that’s all for Osana and Rikiko! We’re now getting to the territory of the first rival. I’m going to cover the people closer to her, and then her herself. See you soon!

TARO YAMADA REDESIGN!!

As the goal of the game, Taro is undoubtedly an important character, but his design really doesn't account for his role, so here's how I fixed him.

As you can see, I changed his name from Taro Yamada to Rentaro Aikawa (廉太朗 愛川). The reason I changed his name is because Taro Yamada is apparently the Japanese equivalent of John Doe, which is why YanDiddy named him that. I wanted his name to have more spice. For his first name, Rentaro, I wanted a name that included Taro in it, as a homage to his original name. Rentaro had the best vibe about it, so I chose that. I initially named him Jutaro for a while, and he had a different design where he had blonde hair and cyan eyes. I changed that cause he was basically a completely different character at that point. For his last name, I knew I wanted a name with the Japanese word for love (愛, ai) in it, so I chose Aikawa.

I kept his black hair, but I gave him a similar heart shaped ahoge to Ayano because I wanted them to share at least one design parallel, as the two most important characters. I gave him pink eyes, as pink is associated with love, and love is what Rentaro's all about. I also decided to make him chubby as well. This was inspired by Rose Quartz, being the main person everyone loves being chubby, and also the fact that there is zero body diversity in Yandere Sim and I really wanted to fix that. I gave him a bit of a tan, mostly just for an aesthetic decision. And that's all on his appearance! I also wrote a bio for him:

Rentaro grew up with his father not being too present, as he worked very often. He was raised mostly by his mother, who taught her son to be kind and respectful, while spoiling him rotten. He also has a twin sister who has always been caring and protective of him. Rentaro is someone who treats all the women in his life with gratefulness and respect, but he is a bit more awkward around other men, due to the lack of a father figure in his life, along with other insecurities he has. He has insecurities around his masculinity or his attractiveness due to factors like his all-female friend group and his weight being higher than average, which is especially a problem in Japan, where the obesity rate is notoriously low, and toxic masculinity is heavily peddled in the relatively isolated place his town is in. Luckily, he has good people around him to lift his spirits and opinion of himself. He projects confidence and is very skilled in talking and making friends. He can also be very passionate and determined, and is very non-judgmental, and is always willing to listen. There are very few people in Buraza Town who don’t know Rentaro’s name. Throughout the course of the game, 10 people will fall in love with Rentaro. They’ll love a range of his traits, from his love of food to his friendliness to his dedication and determination. It’s your job to stop this from happening, so you can claim him for yourself.

And that's all for Rentaro, more coming soon!
