From my weeaboo trash mary-sue persona to super-emo character just to be emo to an accurate representation of my struggle with depression and anxiety and a mechanism to help me cope with those feelings, I'm really surprised and proud of the development of this character throughout the years. Her importance to me continues to grow stronger every single day. Before you knew her, her name was Kara Kanaichi, a Digimon OC that unfortunately cannot find any art of (but as soon as I do, I will definitely show you all!!). From Rei Uruhara to what is now Rei Akino, she has developed an alarming amount since I first created her. Just look through some of the descriptions that I've put on some old fan art because LITERALLY TOO EMBARRASSED TO REREAD THEM AND GIVE YOU EXCERPTS. Definitely some tween shit that I wish I never wrote (there's even a part where Roxas slaps Rei and it's suppose to be "romantic"??? Also I used the word flame back then LAWL)
Here's my timeline from 2003-2009 that has some of the old Kara/Rei fan art
I'm really happy with Rei. She's much more than a character to me. It makes me even happier that you guys have also been able to experience her development and watch us both grow throughout the years. Thank you. :)
Love you lots! PROBABLY MORE TIMELINE STUFF COMING SOON if I feel like it.
Thank you for viewing~
