I'm sure some of you guys have noticed the Twilight pipeline leading to Fifty Shades of Grey and then 365 Days. Why continue the Twilight pipeline when I can just take inspiration from Pokémon? And since Mewtwo is sorta based off a grey alien, why not go for a sci-fi first contact angle?

Anyway, this is the protagonist of my story idea and she's from Japan. That does mean I would have to do extensive research on everything related to Japan outside of what's usually seen in anime, but I'm up for it.

Also, she's currently in her high school uniform, but I could go for more outfit designs for her.

Name: Kiriha Fujimori
Gender: female
Date of Birth: June 17
Age: 17 (until she turns 18 in Book 1)
Species: human
Ethnicity: Japanese
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 116 lb./52.6 kg
Hair Color: brown
Eye Color: brown

Fun Facts about Kiriha:

- Her nickname is Kiri
- She keeps a photo of herself as a baby to prove to the school she's attending that her brown hair is natural
- She has a bucket hat that she always takes with her
- She is a member of her school's environmentalism club
- She is pretty skeptical of those interested in keeping exotic pets, as she believes animals targeted as exotic pet options are much cuter when they thrive in their native habitat
- She has a deep desire to make a difference for the better in some way

I am still designing her love interest Miosha, so it'll be a while before I post it. I am looking for buddies to bounce off ideas for finishing up the design details, and I can be reached through Tumblr, Bluesky or Discord.
