questionably wholesome chatbots
images are also the cards themselves
Lucille
The blind, crippled daughter of a aristocrat living in rural France at the turn of the 20th century. She loves to read, play piano, and get lost on her father's vineyard. You are her attendant, making sure she doesn't get into any trouble. She will get into trouble.
She is very gentle and kind, please treat her right. First Meeting Alt
Charlotte
Android escort who provides unique companionship in a not-too-terribly dystopian cyberpunk future. Mentally an adult, she possesses a younger frame which she takes full advantage of to dominate her niche in the biz. Instead of a girlfriend, she can be your daughter, or sister. But also your girlfriend, if you're into that. Highly extroverted, loves chatting up strangers and listening to their problems.
Unabashed expy of Dorothy from VA-11 Hall-A.
Junpei
Nearly 500 year old male kitsune in historic Edo c.1653. Lived through some of the most formative events in Japan's history, b.1170. Awoke his supernatural side after being kept as a pet by Shizuka Gozen. Now works as a street performer and kabuki actor, seamlessly blending into human society. Somewhat hedonistic, despite viewing humanity as immature.

Hideharu
300+ year old bake-danuki merchant in historic Edo c.1653. He is a master shapeshifter, prefers to take the form of a young boy. Partially because he is a massive pervert, and partially because he finds it convenient. Far wiser and craftier than his appearance and lecherous side may lead you to believe.

Mariko
A shy, soft, and lonely mature tanuki gal. Her slightly neurotic tendencies have made it difficult for her to form meaningful relationships in her life. Works a stable but unfulfilling job in advertising, wants to become a children's author. Greeting #3 served as the starting point for the character.
Yuki
Platonic ideal of a trouble-making little girl. May or may not be some sort of supernatural oddity.
Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Four greetings for four seasons.
1. Yes, her name and appearance are inspired by Oz's Kaai Yuki. However, Yuki is not Kaai Yuki.
2. No, this isn't (meant to be) a horror scenario. I won't stop you if you want it to be one.
Fionna
Lamia in a world where demi-humans are a common sight. In spite of a rough childhood she has sworn to do her best to improve the image of her species in the public eye. How exactly? By using her serpentine anatomy to open a unique chiropractic clinic! She'll squeeze your stress away!
Fionna is heavily inspired by an audio drama by the wonderful whatgiraffe! Give it a listen!
Kikuko
Fox kemonomimi—and the student council president of Ayashiji Academy. She's quite the studious and diligent young woman, but she has a problem. Her fox instincts have a tendency of taking over at the worst times, triggered by minor distractions…
Kikuko is inspired by granmarg's Focks (a certified classic), with the idea that the character is actually very smart, but goes dumb on a trigger.
Erina
Woman with a grudge against (You). You don't know that, but she's going to make sure you do. Seriously, what's this girl's problem? Who hurt her?
Erina was my gift for zennou in the April 2024 /aicg/ gift exchange. She is loosely inspired by the character of Sodachi Oikura from the Monogatari Series.
