Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Riko-chan!

I hope that your birthday will be an amazing day you'll spend with your loved ones, and of course, with me too! I actually had to take a lot away from my original post since it was over the character limit, but I hope you'll enjoy this post anyways =3

When LL-Sunshine first started, I was on a break from the fandom. I remember seeing posters of the characters on a con and thinking that Ruby looked pretty cute, and I could already tell that Mari could be somewhat of a troublemaker. But you? You were kinda bland to me, nothing special. When I finally came back to LL, the Job Set had just came out on JP, and I instantly fell in Love with Kanan, who is my other best girl to this day! But you were still just the bland character I didn't really notice. That was when I started watching the anime, and I instantly realized how similar we are in personality. We are both shy and reserved, sometimes failing to act when we are under too much pressure, however we both enjoy art and music and are trying to have our friends back in every situation. But I didn't want to like you since you were just the normal girl.

First, your Angel card came out on JP and it was...nice. Then, the Medfest starring you and Dia came out on EN. Originally, I only wanted to play normally since i hated the idolized outfit you wore – but something kept me pushing, and after reading the cards side story, I started to see you in a slightly different light. This event, I ended up in place 527 with around 130k event points, and this was before any kind of multiplier was introduced. A short time after this, you started coming home on my accouts. A LOT. First was your Angel UR, and this not only saved my JP account, which was at 5 cool URs and 3 Smile Urs with no Pure at this time, it also allowed me to complete my first UR pair and later my first complete Set! I'm still thankful for this and when I got the card on EN, I seal-idolized you instantly, even though you would not fit my teams (I'm usually pretty team-building-focused). You also were the first character I got tricolor URs of!

Till today, I have pulled a whopping 12 URs of you on multiple accounts... My fondest memory of scouting you is actually on my partners account, where I did a blue ticket and your Cheer UR just happened to come home – however, I was still hunting for you in both accounts and was quite sad that you did not choose me. However, only a week later you came home too!

The next Event featuring you came around on EN, and it was the White Day Event featuring you and Ruby, who is also in my Top 3 best girls! This was a Score Match (ewww), but once again I wanted to give it my all and I finished in 551st place and at 130k points. I know that a lot of people dislike this particular Event card of you because the forehead looks a bit wonky, but this i actually my favorite Event card! On JP, I scouted one copy of it one day, but I accidentally removed you because I forgot to lock you... I really hope to get this card back someday.

Remember your cheer card? I hunted for it on EN. I had a Guilty kiss smile team that was based on PL, and it was just waiting for you, but you never came home. I was, however, able to pull off Score T1 with it! Although.... I don't want to know how many gems I spent trying to get Cheer on EN... must be around 1500....

There was your spot! This is btw the last screenshot I have of my EN account, taken only 10 hours before my account did not connect to Google correctly... It was after the KanaChika Event which I T1'd for on a different device, but while I transferred the account it went into the void and Klab refused to give it back. I would love to continue the story, but I've got some character restriction problems...

So... what do i want from your Birthday Box? First, let me show you my collection!

I have a small wishlist, but actually, any new cards or copies to idolize would be an amazing addition! Firstly, I really hope to get the two Urs I'm still missing since China dress is not in the box, but I'll do one scout in the China box too since you might bless me on your birthday! Secondly, I really hope to get your Yukata SSR or actually any SSR of you since I only have two... and for SRs, your first two Event cards (the ones I sadly missed), Time Travel (a personal favorite, at least unidolized) and the new Summer Set would be very cool. I'll update this post as soon as I'm done with my scouts! (In a new post because character restrictions...)

I also got myelf a cute Neso of you on a Con! It is always with me, on normal days, on exam days, on concert days... You make me feel safe and I can't go out without my adorable Neso in my bag =3

I really thought hard about what I wanted to make you for your birthday. Sandwiches were a given, but as I can not really eat egg and since I love melted cheese, I chose to make you my favorite sandwiches! One is toasted an then baked in the microwave, with some ketchup underneath. The other two are baked in a sandwichmaker, using the same ingredients. But that seemed to be not enough. You always give me so much, having you by my side gives me strength to carry through my day no matter how hard it is, so I imagined what your friends would get you – I always loved the little friendship between you and Yohane (and also with Hanamaru and Ruby, even though they were never mentioned in the Anime, but there are some super cute illustrations!)

Yohane would surely make something Little-Demon-inspired. Maybe something to eat? Then I remembered these candy bats and pumpkins and I had an Idea: Little-Demon-Pumpkin-Cookies! I don't know if you like pumpkins, but since it is autumn I'm always in the mood for these treats, especially soup and pies. So, I started my quest to make you the best Cookies!

You can see the finished result in the first picture of this post. They are very tasty and super big, so after eating two you already feel pretty satisified! Did you have as much fun making these as I had?

As a fellow artist, i also felt the need to draw you something. I considered a lot of cards- of course your Angel UR, Amazing SSRs like Autumn and Valentines... but what lastly inspired me the most was your WW Promo UR. You are the poster girl of germany, but I did never truely feel represented by the Dirndl you're wearing – after all, this is the traditional dress of the south, but Iive in the northeast of the country, close to berlin. I had to dig a lot to actually find out what a traditional robe from my region could have been- and I found a painting of a dress they used to wear in my neighbor town. I also deciced to give you lots of apples since there are a lot of plants near my village too! I hope you like it, I certainly enjoyed making a new Poster Girl Dress for you! =3

Stay strong, best girl. Yes, you heard me right. I used to dislike you, and I used to think that you're boring, but today, I can proudly say that I have two amazing best girls, two number one's. They are different, sure, but I love both of them equally. Thank you for always taking care of me!

Love, Mikan ❤
