My OC Kotomi's refrence sheet

This is one of my other OCs, Kotomi. She is shy, quiet, and it's a mystery why her best friend is so loud. She is the "owner" of Calli (Her refrence here: plushimations.deviantart.com/a…). She has 7 sisters, one of which is a twin (most of her sisters will not get refs). Because of this, she was a bit overlooked growing up, since she didn't do plays, sports, or pagents like some of her other sisters' did. Kotomi was born 2 months premature, and because of that part of her left lung is deformed, which caused minor respitory problems (this was eventaully fixed). She also had things like OCD, ADHD, A short temper, minor Bipolar disorder, and moderate depression (However, some of these were because she was overlooked). As of the start of the series, she is 23, single, and lived in an apartment. Some hobbies she has are cooking (mostly making sushi) and playing guitar. She grew up mostly in Osaka, Japan, but after collage moved to Asahikawa to go to cullinary school for sushi making. Since the instructor was a very traditional, sexist, person, he did not like Kotomi and sometimes would repeatedly send her back to her station without even tasting her food, all because Kotomi was a woman (In Japan, men mostly prepare sushi since it's believed woman have warm hands on the certain time of month). She eventually stopped going to culinary school, since she was already really skilled from the time she was 15, it wasn't much of a problem. After a bunch of stuff happened and she ended up with Calli, Kotomi became a much happier person, because since Calli is very cheerful, that rubbed off on Kotomi, her depression almost went away. That's all I can really say without major spoilers for the comic series, and I hope to get one up by January of next year, so yea. Thanks for the view, and have a wonderful day.    






side note, I started drawing this a long time ago, and never finished until today, soo I've improved since I lined and sketched it.
