Hold on i’m getting an idea here - ojou-sama loli with a huge sword who’s secretly a real battle freak and likes to make fun of Quicksilver for being poor

The thing about creating characters is that you never want to stop

Funny thing I've noticed, the personality that I use for Darktide Quickie has more positive lines towards Ogryn than any other class Clearly she has a type, and that type is "Extreme size difference"

lemme run down the list here: Acadia: unknown Chio: no Jianying: no Lisbeth: no Maissa: yes Mio: no Natasha: yes but only because she's not smart enough to be sad Quicksilver: 300% no Rithriel: yes Shio: no Valeriya: yes but she's also just objectively evil Xiangyun: no Zoey: yes

as it turns out, i don't like to make characters who have happy lives; i wonder what that says about me

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Oh just to be clear - I didn't draw this, the artist just asked me that I not associate their handle with any of the potentially controversial stuff they draw for me, which is fair enough

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

interestingly, using both perspectives changes the final answer only slightly

the problem with mostly making short characters is that their absolute boob size ends up being less impressive than it looks

The habit started because she would steal them from her dad for sex reasons but she has grown to genuinely appreciate them for being clothes she can wear around the house that don’t require forcing her gut into something with a waistband

Underutilized Chio character trait: her love of oversized novelty t-shirts as loungewear

- able to find a place she could belong or people she could bond with and learn from for over 500 years. And I think that’s incredibly tragic and sad, even if she would never think of herself as such.

So, to summarize, Shio’s a shitty youkai and a shitty parent who fucked up her kids not through malice but through unavoidable incompetence. And that’s what i find some compelling about her, really. She’s an extremely flawed character, not in the antihero sort of way but as a person who was never -

- the same way that her mother was among youkai. She blames Shio for this, since her extreme affection for her dad makes her incapable of hating him. Though she’s not aware of it, another factor that doesn’t help her ability to navigate human social norms is that she’s almost certainly autistic

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

- and she was only able to find comfort by whoring herself out to older men because her father’s usually too busy having sex with Shio to have sex with her. Now, Chio’s a clever girl and has gleaned enough of human society to know that her upbringing and values are extremely abnormal, and while -

- realized that she fucked up with Mio, so for the next daughter, Chio, she tried to be more hands-off. While this did succeed in making her more independent, it also left her scarred by the lack of parental attention such that she developed an extreme Electra complex -

- an agoraphobe who has never left the shrine despite not being bound there like her mother. Mostly she spends her days surfing the internet, gaming, and masturbating (unrestricted access to her father’s doujin collection from a young age left her with some pretty wild fetishes) Now, even Shio -

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

- because now she has a mate and two kids. This segues nicely into the second thing i wanted to talk about: Shio’s parenting skills, or lack thereof. It’s not hard to understand, really; her only memories of childhood are dim memories of being a fox cub hundreds of years ago, which don’t really-

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

even then it was mostly either trading barbs back and forth or violent hatesex to pass the time. So all this is to say that she’s spent the vast majority of her life as an outcast and has real trouble trying to navigate relationships that last longer than a one-night stand, which is a problem -

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Now you might say “wait, what about the goddess who imprisoned her, Katashirohime-no-kami?” But their relationship is far from amicable; in fact, she’s the one person that Shio holds genuine malice towards. It took 200 years of lonely cohabitation before they were on speaking terms, and -

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

The important takeaway here is that from the time her common-law wife died to shortly before present day (roughly 540 years), she had no friends or allies. Humans would kill her if they found out she was a youkai, and other youkai considered her a traitor

110

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

For a while she was just going around fucking whatever humans she could cajole into buying her drinks and if any children resulted she just left em on their doorstep, which was a bit of a deadbeat move but certainly not as bad as just eating them post-coitus like a good youkai should

110

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

- more of her own kind. But she was never able to muster the the kind of malice towards humans that a good youkai should, and this made her a real pariah in the supernatural community. Rather than forcing her to reconsider, though, this just made her more inclined to spend time with humans.

130

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

- so that she could better enjoy the drink. She ended up seducing one of the workers, a young woman who had often left sake out for her, and they lived happily together for ~60 years. This is all well and good, but youkai really aren’t supposed to do that kind of thing, as she learned once she met-

130

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

She wasn’t born a youkai fox, nor did she become one by living a long time. 600 years ago, she was a normal fox who liked to lurk outside of a sake brewery and drink whatever was thrown out or given to her. The kami of the brewery was pleased by her appreciation, and so raised her to sentience -

Zoey's Mind Goblins @zoeysmindgoblins.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

What makes Shio a compelling character to me is that she’s objectively a fuckup in every possible way: as a youkai, as a priestess, and as a mother. The priestess thing is pretty obvious, but i want to talk about the other two for a bit
