Hikari's been in my head since 2022. Here's art of them by Magica Riot artist @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social from back then, before Magica Riot existed. Between then & now they had a hair color change but they're otherwise very much the same character! (This was the first art comm Amber did for me!)

Shoutout to one of my (& y'all's judging by comments) favorite characters. The one & only Hikari Tomori, renowned agender enby computer master, electronic music producer, all-around cool cutie. They began as an anime fanfic OC, now they're a beloved part of Magica Riot's world. Art by @windygria.art
