A cat that likes to draw.
I like RPGs, cats, and cats in RPGs.
I love Trails/Kiseki, Star Ocean, Ys, Mana, Xenoblade/Xenosaga/Xenogears, Ultima, Romancing Saga/Saga Frontier, and Honkai Star Rail. And a bunch of other things.

Every patch survey since launch I asked them to put a catgirl in HSR, and now that they did I couldn’t let it go unrewarded. I love my Cipher 🐱

This is probably going to be the pinnacle of my collection: the 1/4 Scale Holo doll from F:Nex with hand/crafted yukata has been my most anticipated (and expensive) figure ever. Luckily it arrived in a week and no dings on the box. Spice and Wolf my beloved. #holo #spiceandwolf #狼と香辛料 #figures

I was waiting for this figure for a long time, but sneaking through at the last minute is Alisa Reinford in her Trails of Cold Steel 2 outfit. It is funny she is as tall as the Rean figure (though to be fair he is leaning back).

Getting used to my new job and coping with my constant imposter syndrome, but just received my Adol Christin figure from Ys VIII. I have to put him with my Feena when I get the chance to reorganize, though Dana is on the way, too.

Today my Goodsmile Racing Miku 2023 Pop-Up Parade figure arrived! The 2023 design was illustrated by Toridamono of Atelier Ryza recent fame.
Since DHL and EMS prices went up, my orders are coming in slower but what can you do.

Here is my humble contribution to the
Xeno Compendium artbook project last year, an illustrated portrait of Celica from Xenoblade X. I wanted to include Rock but I couldn't get the right perspective.
#xenobladex #xenobladechroniclesx #ゼノブレイドクロス #xenoblade #ゼノブレイド #celica #xenocompedium #art
A portrait of Celica from Xenoblade X, against a backdrop of central Noctilum. Celica has medium-length blond hair, blue eyes, and intricate facial tattoos on her left check and forehead. She is wearing a black body suit and white dress, embellished with bronze swirls. Noctilum is an alien forest, with large waterfalls and unearthly plant life.

Honkai Star Rail physical edition delivered today. Hard to get good photos of the unopened highly reflective holo cards but I am happy with them, especially since Seele was included. But no Silver Wolf?! At least the desktop mat has her.

Ann Takamaki figure arrived this evening! Honorary RPG cat (even though the game already has Morgana) I always have a soft spot for The Lovers Arcana in Persona.
Funny that I finished Metaphor this week which got me thinking about P5R again.
#persona #anntakamaki #figures #annetakamaki
Photo of a figure of Ann Takamaki from Persona 5. Her hair is platinum blonde, and she has light blue eyes (though one eye is winking). She is wearing casual clothes such as a short black jacket over a white blouse, plaid skirt, and red tights ending in strung up black boots. In her left hand is a red cat mask she uses as her Phantom Thief disguise, Panther.

She arrived a bit late after getting lost in customs, but the Blue Archive Hatsune Miku figure is finally home! I like her halo to fit in with the BA designs.

My Pokemon feat. Hatsune Miku Project Voltage cd set arrived!
I didn’t know it came with an artbook, would have grabbed it sooner. I still can’t decide which is my favorite Miku design here, but Dark and Dragon Type are cool.

I was getting worried with my pull luck this patch I would lose the coinflip on Fugue, but it all worked out.

The pattern of low game count with higher hours continues on Switch, though I could have sworn I had more hours on SMTVV than it reported here.

Oh and just to round out the list, here is November and December. DQ3 definitely has more than 3x the hours played at the moment, so I guess they must have cut off the statistics earlier this month.
TOP MONTH Game of the Month (November): Ys X: Nordics Hours 117 Monthly stats: Gaming Sessions 94 Hours Logged 267 Games Played 4 Trophies Earned 74 Game of the Month (December): Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Hours 28 Monthly stats: Gaming Sessions 15 Hours Logged 36 Games Played 2 Trophies Earned 9

New figure of Surtr from Arknights arrived today! It is funny how many figures I have from the game and I’ve never even played it, but I have a few friends that play a lot of gacha and have learned through osmosis 🐱
#arknights #surtr #figures
Photo of a scale figure of Surtr from Arknights. She has red hair and small black horns, and is dressed in a black crop-top and a red miniskirt. She leans against a construction barricade with orange and red paint cans to the left and a skateboard leaking against a box of paint canvas. Her katana is secured against her inner elbow.

Ok I have 12, but only if you count the two-packs as two each 🐱

After trying 130 pulls for Aventurine and nothing, getting Sunday on the first ten pull of the patch was worth it.

My Tingyun figure finally arrived, just in time for patch 2.7!
Her ear had fallen out of the socket in shipping but it snapped right back in. A small figure but I have been looking forward to anything for Tingyun for awhile 🦊

Picked up a few new soundtracks this week.
The Slumbernana Monkey memetic virus jingle in four different languages was… different 🐱
(Still waiting patiently for the Kai no Kiseki soundtrack in two months)
