Yeah, I think you are right. Honestly, reading through ZUN's description on how he created Meiling (mostly from SCoOW), It's safe to assume that he barely even thought about her. He just went "Well, since a dragon is fitting for stage 3, let me just put in some random chinese girl I made up and slap the kanji for "dragon" on her hat and call it a day". There is also the fact that literally every single other character in that game has some cool sounding title like "Ice Fairy of the Lake" for Cirno, and "The Girl of Knowledge and Shade" for Patchy, then there is Meiling with motherfucking "Chinese Girl". The weirdest part is that in Touhou 7.5 she got the title of "Colourful Rainbow Gatekeeper" which sounds so much cooler... and then it got reverted to "Chinese Girl" in 12.3 for some unknown reason. And thanks to the fandom we know and have extremely mixed opinions about, she gets turned more and more into a Chinese stereotype (ZUN also making her fanon canon does not help at all) This whole thing is a lost cause.

Oh, i perfectly understand those purposes... Alright Count you have convinced me, hope your researches get each moment better, cough cough Alright, she's the president of the tea club and is worried about the future of the club, since it will be left in the hands of other member I think K-On is kind of haunting me, each single thing i read here is "K-Onable" for me and i can't even explain why Btw, she's a cute character! (even tho i thought it was a boy in the first image xd) Her hair is cute and also her glasses, she seems like a smart character! I like how she look like, also her serious personality, it goes well with her design! Well, in my opinion, even if with little fanarts, it's nice to see parts from the anime! It makes me see how the characters actually look like and that's actually nice, would be interesting to keep it on btw! And i'm honestly surprised with how they managed to make NSFW with her, but well, even a anime like DenpaTeki Na Kanojo (extremely niche, i never saw not even a single living soul that know that) has a NSFW doujin (btw, this anime is also a recommendation if you like animes like Higurashi) And going to DeviantArt... I don't know nothing good from this place =') But, you did a great work with the information you had, good job! =D

Alright, this is actually quite a useful trick. Thank you for the info! Gotcha ;) I would prefer however to keep most of the stuff as it already is, as I am not the kind of person who complains so easily when it comes to images. You actually need something quite despicable to make me say anything about it. Otherwise, simply ignore... or keep for, ahem, "reference and research". Anyway, on with today's topic. Character introduction: Ruriko Yuzuki General information (curtesy to the Amagami wiki): Ruriko Yuzuki (夕月 琉璃子 Yuzuki Ruriko) the club president of the tea club and Rihoko Sakurai's senior. She is always worried about Rihoko's clumsiness and about the future of the tea club, as it will be left in Rihoko's hands as the new club president when she and her best friend, Manaka Hiba, will graduate. She appears in the KimiKiss anime (a game-based anime from the same author of Amagami) as Kaoruko Yuzuki in the episode 19 joining in Aihara little sister "Udon Association" with Manami Hiba (Manaka Hiba). Appearance: Ruriko has short black hair and black eyes with glasses. Personality: Ruriko is a straight and outgoing girl, but she seems to be quite serious and strict at the same time. Age: unspecified Some trivia from the same article: the article has no trivia section, so we have to skip it this time around And now for the art gallery: Illustration by Takayama Kisai (source: image board) Source: official material Source: official material Source: official material Source: official material Source: official material Illustration by OCTOPUS-SLIME (source: DeviantArt - https://www.deviantart.com/octopus-slime/art/Amagami-Stitch-Ruriko-Yuzuki-and-Manaka-Hiba-01-912598256) Illustration by OCTOPUS-SLIME (source: DeviantArt - https://www.deviantart.com/octopus-slime/art/Amagami-Stitch-Ruriko-Yuzuki-and-Manaka-Hiba-02-912601472) Illustration by toki (source: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/16198282) End thoughts: We are back to the "side character = little fanart" rule. There are just 4 more character until I can get to Junichi himself. This time, I really did not have where to pick from, no matter how many image boards I would make use of. There are like 12-15 images, and these two I thought to be the ones looking best or be safe enough and represent the character. I had to make use of screenshots from the official source, and look for more... unorthodox sources for the rest (I was not expecting to get back to DeviantArt, it's been a while) Next time, we are dealing with that girl with long, black hair that appears a lot next to Ruriko in art and shots, Manaka Hiba.
