Chronically tired med student, trying her best
A melancholic lady, who always had severe issues with fitting in – feeling like she belongs somewhere, you know, in a fundamental, global sense of it. Still, she always wanted to be a part of something more, and to make at least little contributions to something meaningful. Maybe that's the reason why the medical path has always fascinated her this much. Another reason – she always liked to find the patterns and to dive into the details to figure out why the things work the way they do. To observe and to analyze the world around her is, kind of, her thing.
She's also been very interested in creative hobbies, as something both deeply introspective in its nature and a specific way of communication, or, maybe, the attempt of connection with other people. She's specifically very fond of poetry, theater/cinema and music, and has a strong interest for fandom discourses. You really don't want to know how chronically online (and, thus, very angry at the modern society) she gets to be sometimes.
Still, despite her interest in socialising, her social battery level and the amount of everyday energy are...not spectacular, really. Ri gets overwhelmed very easily, unfortunately, so she prefers either being on her own in a comforting solitude, or to keep a company of her very few close people.
Design notes
Art gallery link ● Anthro form
● Build notes: 178 cm | 5' 10'', slim and rather tall. She has a rectangular body shape and is supposed to look somewhat androgynous, please keep it this way! She also has posture problems [slouches], especially if she's tired, but Ri tries to work on this.
● Really pale skin tone.
● Facial notes: Elongated thin face, pronounced cheekbones, average eyebrows, thin lips. Visible eyebags.
● Body markings: *A lot* of freckles all over her body.
● Scars: Nothing significant, feel free to draw her with random scratches.
● Hair: A somewhat triangular bob cut of wavy and very soft texture. She decorates it with some small accessories from time to time.
● Clothing style: Her preferred style is anything official-esque [classic, formal, smart casual], mostly minimalistic clothes with some additional accessories like hand watches, brooches or rings. She loves coats and turtlenecks and doesn't feel comfortable in bright and revealing clothes. She Can be seen in hoodie or t-shirt with a print on it, but rarely and mostly if it's clothes of her partner or friend :D
● Impression: Serious, cold and distant, especially when she's on her own. Ahh also dead tired. Girl go have some sleep. Looks much more relaxed and happier around people she loves, but still isn’t very expressive/emotional
● Feel free to draw her with body hair and generally not-perfect skin if it fits your artstyle!
● There's no need to colorpick from her references, just try to keep the approximate colors/shades ratio recognizable and you cool.
My fave things ever/wishlist of sorts??
Art nouveau inspired things
Disco Elysium, Hades, Pathologic or Transistor inspired style of portraits.
Scenes in general, even sketchy ones. Personal god tier.
Well, I genuinely love sketchier/a bit messy pieces in general, so don’t stress much about rendering!!
Trading cards and posters/magazines front page styled things!
DAI tarot [i'm obsessed with them.] or original tarot.
Character interactions since. I love character interactions so much. Would love to see your characters interacting with mine as well, as pals or rivals or dunno just neutrally hanging around, but I’d prefer no romantic interactions unless discussed + unless we know each other.
Anything lore-connected [story-related, referencing mentioned fave things etc etc] and slice of life stuff <зз
'Song art' (based on/containing song lyrics orrr poetry idk) is super cool
Playing around the symbolism of any kind [whether based off motives I’ve mentioned or your own associations for her]
Classical [uhh -ish? I count the XX century as well here so idk how to name it properly] art redraw. I love it when people make homages to the art they love <з
Retro and western/cowboy-ish vibes
Totally fine
Any mood of art, actually! I love peaceful soft atmosphere and cute interactions as much as I love darker stuff [angst, self-conflicts or character getting into some very very bad situations]
Other outfits [until it stays somewhat in-character? Check the Design notes tab]! I'm not that good at designing wardrobe, so if you like it, it's your finest hour!
Light or moderate gore is allowed, feel free to place her in dangerous situations, just avoid fatal injuries like losing body parts and breaking bones. I'm also okay with stylized gore [candy/fruit/flower and neon blood kind of things]
Meme/joke art if you have something vibing with her on your mind
Artistic/not sexualized nudity is 100% fine!
Drawing her with cigarettes
Eating something
Swearing is fine, but please avoid slurs of any kind.
Colors and style experiments, including light design simplification, alternative palettes or anything like this, just make sure you keep her recognizable. I'm absolutely cool with eyestrain, glitches and any post-correction effects, go ham!
In general, well, you have artistic freedom until you conflict with already written information! I'm really curious to see your headcanons unless it doesn't cross her canonical lore!
Just be careful with 'donts' and you'd be fine!
It depends
I'm really *not* into pride flag-centric art. I don't mind respective pride flags being included as idk patches/pins on her clothes, being overall small like colored heart or smth or being used as overall palettes for drawing if you feel like it, but pride avatars or the whole background being pride flag image is not really my cup of tea.
AUs — I'm 100% cool with references to these media, XX century aus and survival stuff like zombie apocalypse aus maybe. Other aus/crossovers/etc are 'better ask first' (not if we're pals though, have fun however you want if we know each other <з)
Suggestive stuff is cool as a part of ship art with characters I pair her with [mentioned as her current/ex partners or just in ‘yeah you can ship them’ kind of context], as for bunny suits and stuff like that or 'sexual' posing
I'm only okay with shipping our OCs if we know each other and I'd still prefer to be asked about it beforehand, k?
Just don't 👺
Hatespeech/hateful topics are, probably, Very obvious thing, but. Still. And please please don't use slurs towards my ocs/in art for me in general, no matter how reclaimed they seem to be to you [i count words like slut/whore as well and I won't elaborate].
Please try your best to avoid major design mistakes and drawing obviously out of character things — stylization is fine, though, I'm talking about drastic change of body type or skin tone, hair texture, erasing notable facial features and so on. Just read the design notes, I’ve mentioned all the important things to keep in mind there.
Overall, don't erase characters’ identity. Don't change gender, race (and species in general, unless I specifically asked for it) and sexuality of the character.
Anything alcohol/drugs related
Fetish art, even if overall SFW.
Very cruel and graphical gore with character going through fatal injuries like losing body parts.
Vomit/throw-up stuff
Likes
● Theater [in first place] and cinema. She's been fascinated with the actor's craft since very young age.
● Poetry (I bet she loves Walt Whitman), including trying to compose stuff herself and classics of World Literature
● Playing acoustic guitar (yet she doesn’t really Sing if we don't count soft murmurs when she's alone, the only exception is singing along to Kelly)
● Cosplay, both making costumes [DIY is kinda her thing] and attending fests. She is much more confident and relaxed playing the role of one of her favorite fictional characters.
● TTRPGs. She's literally the lifelong DM for her tabletop evening with friends
● Experimental art. A great fan of avant-garde
● 80s/90s music bands, honestly pretty much listens to anything but all the melancholic any y'know 'smart' and 'nishe' shit would be 100% her thing. Very into Placebo and Radiohead (please, pretend surprised).
● Linguistics (C1 French and very strong interest for slavic group languages)
● Science! Medicine, biology and chemistry specifically. Neeerd. Shee loves studying, in fact
● Podcasts (her faves are historical and truecrime ones), documentaries and nonfiction books
● Science fiction
● Winter and autumn
● Long ass video essays
● Playing chess. She desinitely used to attend the chess club at school
● The Silent Hill games
● David Lynch filmography
Dislikes
● Sport. Mostly because of fass and competitiveness aspects (school PE trauma was there). The only physical activity she is somehow dedicated to are horribly long walks. (Would probably like hiking if gives it a try someday)
● Violence, militarism and it's support
● Summer. She can't stand the heat, feels Very insecure about the amount of people on the streets, and is very insecure about her swimming skills and uhh body image i guess
● Loud noises
● Running out of energy/resource. She gets tired (especially of social interactions) easily and hates it, and it Does trigger self-isolating/ghosting patterns she's unfortunately prone to
● Herself. She tries to learn how to love herself, but has an empty void where self-esteem muct be...
● Morrissey as, like, a public person 👺 She's a hater. Used to have the Smiths poster at her room as a teen (among many other musicians and cinema/other geeky stuff-releted ones) with Morrisey's face burnt with a cigarette. Because she actually likes the *band*, somewhat (their last album was cool). Just not their problematic posterboy
● Her father 🚬
Connections
Kelly
best friend / girlfriend
Her confidante, her precious ride or die and, admittedly, her favorite person ever. They've been best friends for years, sharing the dynamic of the emotional support therapy golden retriever for the anxious-cheetah-in-the-zoo ever since Kelly has been the first person to talk to the new girl in class when they were, like, 14 y.o.? and Erin had just moved to Liverpool with her mom. They bonded very quickly around both being geeky girls with a bunch of common interests to discuss. And, generally, their characters just worked together very nicely.
So, yeah, basically the typical Very Close besties case with a hell lot of awkward mutual pining none of them would ever talk about back then. They moved to London at the same time in maybe a year after graduating from the high school, but drifted apart, somewhat. Because adult life, studying, jobs, personal life and some unresolved issues between them, worsened with other mentioned complications, happened (it just wasn't like the old days anymore yeah yeah WHATEVER). Although not having any significant Global Fights and never completely cutting each other off, they just...Didn't spend as much time together anymore. Both felt very bad about it, but finally managed to reconnect in the end, after missing each other like hell.
Arthur
friend
That one spiderverse meme with Peter and Miles. Snarky lad used to be sort of a role model for younger Ri. He's still her good friend
Lavi
friend
There’s something about people having a burning passion for what they do, that..Really fascinates Erin. It’s not a big surprise she enjoys Lavi's company a lot. Both of the share interest for medicine, linguistics, also both of them are bloggers and ttrpg nerds.
(Ship art is okay)
Tosha
ex boyfriend / buddy
To say they're close would be a strong exaggeration. Still, it's nice to hang out together time to time.
Feel free to draw her interacting with your characters if you want!

There are twenty years to go, the best of all I hope
Does the body rule the mind,
Or does the mind rule the body? I don't know.
