Let's Talk About Eiko

Let's talk about Eiko 🥀🌂

Hello there! I just thought I'd start introducing my OCs, since they have been and will continue to be the subjects of most of my drawings. And we're beginning with the protagonist, Eiko. :)

[For context, the PCD (Paranormal Containment Division) is a law enforcement organ that specializes in investigating and eliminating paranormal entities in the fictional country this story takes place in.]

Eiko is a 19-year-old PCD agent. She presents herself as a stoic, reserved and polite kind of person, but deep down, she's quite distrustful and hot-headed. Still, and even though she does have a really bad temper, I think Eiko tries her hardest to be as well-mannered as possible, because that's just how she was raised. Thing is, she's polite to the point of coming off as robotic and unnerving, when most of the time she's just trying to make it as clear as possible that she respects the other person.

The greatest source of her stress and frustration, at least before the plot kicks off, is her job and her superiors, but since she is well aware she can't afford to lash out at them (since she likes having a roof over her head), she just bottles everything up. Not a great idea considering she's been bottling up resentment since she was a child, but she was never taught any healthy ways to handle her anger.

She does take her job very seriously; the problem is that she herself is not taken very seriously there. The PCD is basically the elite of society, and the high rank agents are highly respected and affluent citizens. Eiko is a low rank agent, though, so this doesn't really apply to her in practice. She's far from being wealthy. And she's basically at the bottom of the food chain in the PCD.

She's willing to do almost anything to achieve her goals, but she struggles to accept that she might not be as morally good as she would like.

About the art: the drawing in the background is a lot more recent than the full body and her design has changed slightly, so that's why she looks a little different. The outfit (which is her work uniform) is still the same though.

For now, that's all I'll share. There's more to her character, but this will do for her introduction. I frankly doubt anyone will read all of this, but if you have, thank you so much! It means the world. ❤️

The evolution of my OC Beatrice a.k.a. Bee. 🐝🌼Her current design (far right) is basically a mix of my favourite things from both of her older iterations.

- The braids sticking out and the black & white stripes from the 1st

- And the short yellow overalls, the weird belt with the threads and the pincushion from the 2nd :)

I also wanted to fix her proportions bc she looks like a child in her 2nd iteration. Now she looks more like her age (17).

She's a seamstress who works at a theatre. She came from a small village where she lived with her older half-brother, but then shit happened and they ran away basically :]

To my followers who gaf about my OC lore (ilysm): I do want to do that breakdown of the symbolism of Eiko's uniform and other worldbuilding stuff that I mentioned on a recent post, the reason why I haven't done it yet is bc I have to explain other worldbuilding first and I want to make a proper post for that since it's important

I'm not ignoring your interest I just want to put some time into making that Lore Dump so it's as concise as possible

This is also a good time to say I see everyone who reblogs my posts and all of the sweet things you guys say so thank you so much, giving you all a big hug rn. You know who you are ❤️🫶
