If it isn't already obvious... I put a lot of myself into Val! They're something of a self-insert, since they're the first OC I've made in recent years, hehe. I don't have their same appearance or trauma word-for-word, of course, but in the appearance department, I kinda designed them like what I "wanted to look like" at the time, I guess. Which to me was "very ambiguous and very yellow". I gave Val khaki pants and made them tuck their shirt in because they're a nerd. Their moles are based on the moles I have in real life, they're just in different places here they're more noticeable on Val. Their weird bangs are reminiscent of an old hairstyle I used to have back in middle school, likewise with the hair length. You may be asking, "Ami, what's that weird tiny over-shirt on their normal outfit," and the answer is "they want to appear ambiguous and having an extra layer to hide your chest just that teensy bit more gives them mental quarter".
