When I began playing SIF (in high school? maybe before?), I chose Kotori as my SIF starting card. There’s no great big lore to it, I just liked hers and Umi’s designs and decided to choose her instead.
Now, 6 years later, I’m really happy that I chose Kotori and don’t regret it in the slightest. She’s hilarious, silly, and a wonderful addition to Muse. Her design immediately appealed to me (I love her hair and bird association and !!!) and her outfits are always so cute. I also think her voice is very cute and charming; it's a lot higher than my favorites in the past, but it's still so cute and I adore Kotori's songs.
But truly the most important thing that makes Kotori one of my favorite girls ever is how she brought me and one of my friends closer! We both adore Kotori, and after reuniting, are still brought together by excitement over what cute cards our favorite birb will have next!
This is my first time drawing something for her birthday but I have drawn her in the past as well because she's so fun to draw! I love you Kotori, Happy Birthday!!
