Pfft, I practically
need to listen to my characters' image songs in order to get into a good drawing or writing mood. Warning, long post is long.
Anzuru Rin is a calm, maybe stoic person, but she surprisingly loves rap and hip hop. She strives to live past people's expectations of her, and to actually have a meaningful purpose in life. In fact, she's the main protagonist of my project, Blue Roses, and immediately agreed to help the people of the Speculum World to overthrow their king, despite the fact that she was just one teen. So
Bump Bump by
BoA feat. VERBAL is rather fitting.
"Even when so much crazy stuff happens that I’m about to lose sight; before I know it, it’s all memories. I’ve forgotten it all already, but I’m gonna shine." Kane Hendrix's secret passion is anything regarding Japan, anime and manga. However, he had his own little alibi; he was a pretty good athlete and wasn't bad looking either. But the downside was the fact that he had no experience with girls, and of course his popularity was non-existent if that wasn't for Anzuru. He harbors feelings for her, but isn't aware that the feeling is mutual.
Your Highness ☆ My Princess sung by the current male Japanese Vocaloids definitely shows what's going on in his mind.
Now,
Wash My Blood sung by the Vocaloid Luka Megurine describes two people: Boa Elriss and Python Elriss. They're vampire noblewomen. Boa, the elder sister, is the first person Anzuru & her friends encounter in the world of Speculum. The person that went after her was assigned by her husband, who planned to have her killed so he could get her riches. Python also had that luck with men, as her only lover and his brothers tried to kill her. If this song doesn't describe their pain and anger, I don't know what does.
Inside the Fire by Disturbed was the song that practically inspired Hector. Despite Hector's name, it's a she. She is a demon of undetermined species, and had a lot of names given to her; the "Grim Reaper," the "Devil's Daughter," the "Minor's Death Angel." The last one is because she has been known to take lives of children. However, she kills them for two reasons - one because of pity (that Speculum is under the hands of a tyrant), and the other because she's sadistic.
Then there's my Pokemon-related characters. Kimzie's song, is surprisingly
Smooth by Santana feat. Rob Thomas. During my time of being an Ultimate Battle Frontier contestant on DeviantART, due to the fact that UBF is full of hormonal....well,
deviants, at day one Kimzie has tried to fight off her desires. I even drew something because of it. She became a former devout choir girl with a default "nice girl" personality to something more in-depth. She had a past of countless unrequited relationships, and being in UBF was not a good thing for her. The song itself is rather lustful and risque when you listen to it, and that's how Kimzie's feelings to a particular man were eventually.
Nana(non-PRP form) is a bubbly, innocent little girl. However, that does
not make her naive or oblivious in any way. The song
Renai Circulation sung by the Japanese Vocaloid
Yuki Kaai suits her. She is fully aware that her "papa" and "mama" are nothing but her brother and his ex-girlfriend. She knows that there might be a slight chance that they'll never get together again. However, she is fine with that and continues to love them as if they were her actual parents, because as the song says, "
our hearts will keep on evolving, more and more".
