This is the Four-hundredth-twenty-fourth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

*Topaz and Ririchiyo are walking down the halls.*

: So you're sure that she is going to be the blog girl for this week, and the meganekko of spring?

Sure. Well, unless she has a problem.

: I'm surprised that you didn't pick another one, though.

Well, there were quite a few girls in spring so I had a good amount of choices.

: But THIS girl... I think that she'll have some problems.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't talk about her. And look, we're at the nurse's office already!

*Topaz and Riri freely go inside.*

: Wait, are you sure that we should even be here? It's not like we're students or teachers or anything.

I think that the principal gives us the ability to enter. It's not like we're causing trouble here.

: I'll leave that up to you. You'd BETTER not cause trouble!

*They look around.*

: Wait, she isn't here.

Hmmm, though there seems to be a mummy of some sort laying in the bed here. I'll just move the privacy sheets over.

*He moves the sheets that go around the bed that I cannot find the name of. The bandaged up body starts moving, though stiffly due to all the bandages.*

???: MMMMPPH!

: Quick, Topaz! Kill it with fire, before it curses us!

But that will just turn it into a Stalfos. Besides, this isn't a mummy! It's...

*Topaz pulls a loose bandage and slowly unravels the bandages around the "mummy's" head. A meganekko with braids is revealed.*

: Phew... I do believe that I tied myself up too tightly. No one was around, so I was wriggling for quite some time.

How horrible!

: Oh? Who might you be?

: I'm Ririchiyo and this is Topaz.

: I am not familiar with either of you, and I would know the nurses... C-could you be INTRUDERS?!

*Botan tries to get out of bed, but due to being tied up for so long her feet were asleep. As a result when she goes to stand up she faceplants onto the floor.*

Are you alright?!

: What unluckiness!

*Topaz helps Botan up, who has dizzy eyes and blood from the mouth.*

Oh no! I broke her! What should I do?

: Hit her really hard!

*He incredulously looks at his assistant.*

: What? It works with electronics!

: D-do not worry. I will be alright.

*The meganekko shakes her head and regains consciousness.*

: It happens all the time.

That's good. Wait, no, not "good" but at least you know what to do.

: So are you really alright?

: I guess, but I do apologize.

*A black funk emerges from Botan, hiding her eyes as she leans forward.*

: Even these intruders have sympathy on me. Not that I deserve it, I am a waste of a human being that will never amount to anything. Everything is painful, and I do not even deserve to breathe the same air as people like you. Uhoohoo hoo...

: Oh no, she's spiralling!

Don't worry, I know exactly what to do!

: I don't think she'll appreciate having stories pushed onto her!

Not that, I mean this!

*Topaz affectionately pets Botan's head. She starts to feel better, the darkness fading away.*

Now now... Everything will be just fine.

: Y-you really mean that?

Yes, now how about-

: TOPAZ!

*Ririchiyo interrupts Topaz as his petting is starting to make Botan's scalp bleed.*

HOLY GLASSES!

: Holy... what?

N-nevermind!

*Topaz and Ririchiyo panic, and a screen transition is done. After time passes Botan has a nice bandage hat around her head.*

Phew, let's hope that holds.

: We're just lucky that we didn't cause even more problems!

I know.

: Sorry to be so much of a bother.

*She takes Topaz's hand and holds it close.*

: If there is anything that I could do to repay the favor...

*Topaz looks up and down her body.*

I know exactly what you can do!

: Explain yourself before I start making YOUR head bleed!

Why do you always think I'm going to be doing something perverted?

: I know how your mind works.

I-I swear, I was just going to ask her to let me do the blog on her! I promise!

: Blog?

: Topaz talks about girls like you every week. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten tired of it yet.

Blogging is fun! So what do you say?

: Well, I was going to use my family's riches to pay you back but I do suppose that this is also a good idea.

Wait, can I change that...

: It's too late for that, because...



Hey, who said that you can do the introductions like that?

: You were taking too long. Besides, I figured you'd like giving me a shot. This way you can remain lazy.

I do enjoy being lazy...

: Do not be so lazy as to not blog me correctly, even if I am not sure as to what it entails...

: Don't worry. You just have to sit there and listen. And hopefully not injure yourself again...

: I shall try not to.

Head
Hair: Even though I prefer dark hair, Botan still has really excellent hair. First I'll discuss her color; Botan has a lovely light pink though also somewhat grey hair color. Or maybe it's white with purple highlights around the edges. Either way it does appeal to me in that I do like white-haired girls, and the bit of pink or purple works really well with the soft art style. Botan also has a wonderful hair style, especially for meganekkos: the dual braid. Her hair is also really long, meaning that the braids go all the way from the base of her head down past her hips. It looks really amazing, really. Above the braids are two big, poofy parts that are cute. Her bangs aren't great, only being a simple middle-dip (meaning her hair comes down in the center) but her sides are long enough to reach her shoulders. Normally this would be it, but Botan actually has a few alternate styles to back herself up. She even lets her hair out freely while trying out other styles, which shows that it's big, wavy, and voluminous which is amazing (though as a downside during this scene she sadly wasn't wearing her glasses). During the same scene Botan also puts up her hair up in a ponytail, and that style returns for her magical girl moment (though her hair color turns a light green. She's the "Green" magical girl of the group). Finally, she also wears a cute hat while wearing her priest outfit in the virtual world (a frilly one with flower buds on the sides of her head), a cute Zun-like hat when sleeping or in pajamas, and in the pool episode she wears a swim cap (because trust me, that's a LOT of hair). In general Botan does absolutely amazing, but her poor bangs do pull her down a bit.
Grade: A-

Eyes: Botan still does well here as well, but like with hair she does have some flaws I'll have to point out. For one, her eyes are a tarame shape. It's understandable, considering her personality, and the thick lines on the top of her eye do seem to help. She also has a very substantial corner of her eyes. She also has eyelashes, but I actually find them nice too. Of course we can't forget about her eye color, as she has a beautiful dark purple which really helps her here. It fits well with her hair, though her eyes are far darker.
Oddly enough, I'd say that Botan's glasses could actually be a little bit better. They have thin frames, though the nose- and ear-pieces can still be seen. I'd personally like them a bit thicker, but Botan still has her advantages. There were a few occasions where she didn't wear them, which was unfortunate, but surprisingly they weren't the normal offenders! Okay, so she didn't wear them at the pool, but she did wear goggles instead which I'll allow. She also wore them when she became a magical girl as well, more of them should keep their glasses.
Grade: A-

Face: The art style of Anne Happy is really amazing for my tastes. Every one seems to be cute in a puni-plush style, and Botan is no exception. She's extremely cute and has soft features, especially her rosy cheeks. She also has a dot nose, which always helps. Overall it's simple but she does look really amazing.
Grade: A

Body
Build: Sadly Botan seems to drop off here. Outside of the obvious "big problem" which is the next area, Botan doesn't show off her body too much. She has a fair if slender waist that fits the rest of her body. Her legs are also usually quite good, when she shows them off, and there's no information about her ass sadly enough (the best is a side-shot in her sukumizu, which being fair does give her a rosy mark to make it seem soft). I should mention that Botan's body is very battered and injured, even if it doesn't show on the outside. Her bones break often for comedic fashion, and she has very low stamina and takes a lot of medicine. One can only imagine that the only thing keeping Botan alive is that all her illnesses are caught trying to get her at the same time and cancel each other out. Botan is also tied for the tallest girl of the main cast, with Ren also being about as tall as she is. Finally, she's unable to reach her toes which makes one of the measurements they gave the class a negative (It had the person bend over and touch a scale of some sort. Botan broke her back reaching for it).
Grade: C

Chest: Oh boy, we get to the main problem with Botan. She has a very large chest, perhaps the biggest in the main cast, and like too many busty girls she gets pointed out quite a bit. Especially from the main heroine Ann who happens to be flat. Botan is even called part cow as well (at least by an eyecatch). There's a particularly bad moment when she's running and she's bouncing with sound effects which is pretty terrible. She also has a moment where she wears an outfit too small for her chest. Fortunately most of this was early on in the series and later on the show becomes a lot more lenient with her service. She pretty much only gets cleavage shots or similar, even in the beach moment. In other words, while she doesn't do anything to redeem her former problems she also stops being such a nuisance.

: Wait, if her chest is so big I wonder why her back isn't broken by now.

Have you heard the legends of Milo of Croton?

: Excuse me?

Milo of Croton.

: ...I can't say that I have. What show is he from.

No show. At least, as far as I know. He's a greek wrestler from ancient times.

: I see, and why would that factor in here?

Because he's known best about buying a calf and lifting it every day. As the animal grew he slowly became stronger, and eventually he was carrying a full-grown bull around.

: Ah, I see. It's like that, only with a "cow"...

Right, it's one of the few things that her body can actually handle.

: You two are not making fun of me, correct?

Not intentionally.
Grade: C+

*Botan sighs*

What was that for?

: I knew that my disgusting fat would drag me down. I have no clue as to why, but I have been on a solid spiral upward as far as weight goes. I do not even know where it goes, considering my somewhat slender waist...

: I can think of two major places...

Riri, stop staring there. Besides, there's nothing wrong with plump girls though.

: No, your scores show me how wrong it is. Do not lie to my face. Just come out and say how disgusting I am and how I should die. I know that everyone is thinking it, so please do me a favor and end my life...

*Botan's black funk arrives again, clouding her eyes.*

Don't say such things.

: Why not, I am nothing but a waste of human that is absolutely useless and no one will ever care about me so I should just disappear. It should not be that difficult either, I am quite sure that you could reliably pass it off as an accident...Uhoohoo hoo...

Listen to me! You're important and deserve to live!

*Topaz shakes Botan as she does this.*

: Careful Topaz!

True, I shouldn't be rough with her. I don't want to break her again.

: That and you might cause bouncy fanservice!

Bouncy... fanservice?

*Topaz's head starts looking down, but Botan catches him and gives him a slap. He spins around a bit, though the slap itself didn't injure him.*

: OW MY HAND!

*Indeed as Botan comedically shattered her hand. Fortunately she bandages it quickly, and it should heal shortly.*

: That's what you get for that.

I'm sorry, but it seems that Botan is in a better mood.

: Better than what?

: Quick, continue the blog before she realizes what happened!

Good plan, and I think that her hand will heal by the time we return tool

: Eh? Return? Don't tell me you're pandering to Zettai again.

I have to, I want to make things up to him.

: But who are you going to get. It's not like he's seen this show so any girls would be lost on him.

Don't worry... I have a perfect idea.



Clothes: Botan has a fairly nice wardrobe, better than I would expect. She tends to wear the school uniform, which makes sense considering the majority of the series happens at schoo. It consists of a short black blazer (though maybe just in the winter), a red necktie, a white shirt, and a plaid skirt. Botan also wears pantyhose, which is always a plus. She also wears comforable and maybe-expensive casual outfits, looking really nice and ojou-like. As said before she does wear a priest's outfit in the video game episode, which consists of a flowing white gown over a purple bikini and thighhigh socks. It looks really cool, but sadly her butt is covered by the skirt of the gown. She's also wears a green magical girl outfit, though for a sadly short amount of time. Other outfits include a sukumizu with swimcap, a squid outfit, a gym uniform with red shorts, and a blue one-piece swimsuit with skirt bottom. A chibi version of her wears a cow costume as well. Botan also wears a cheerleader outfit on the one of the music CD covers, with the other girls as well. Overall not too bad (especially the uniform, which I really like), though there are some fanservice woes...
Grade: B+

Mind
Personality: Botan has a few obvious traits that are exaggerated for the sake of comedy. The first one is her "bad health". You see, each character in Anne Happy (or at least the students) have a trait of bad luck, and Botan's is her unluck with health. Not only is she a sickly girl in general, with a low amount of fatigue, but she gets constantly injured. Even just going about her daily life she might stub her toe on a wall or suddenly bleed while brushing her teeth. She was even introduced with the lead girl Ann breaking Botan's hand with a handshake. It's very sympathetic, at least to me, even if she usually is fine in the next scene (though she has become fairly good at fixing herself up). The other aspect is that she's extremely pessimistic and has low self esteem. She's the type that, when things go wrong, she blames herself and wishes herself to just die complete with a gloomy look on her face. In fact she's so negative that, when she tries to heal herself as a priest it injures her further (with the other girls commenting that she's similar to an undead). Still, she gets great joy out of being with her friends as it's possible she was somewhat sheltered as a kid (though it may be due to her illnesses or injuries). As for other aspects of her character, Botan is also an ojou with a big fancy house and servants. She's also somewhat knowledgeable, with the occasional trivia bit every so often (so she's sorta like Miyuki from Lucky Star in some aspects). Botan is voiced by Kiyono Yasuno, who is probably most well known as the voice of Sakura from the original Aikatsu (seems like there's a lot of Aikatsu references lately xD) as well as a certain boring girlfriend. Still, she gives Botan a nice bubbly and soft voice, fitting her well. I'm not sure if she speaks in ojou speak or not, though. Still, her voice is wonderful as the gentle-ness in it really shows (her singing voice even sends shivers down my back). All in all she's a great example of a meganekko, even if the comedic traits do seem to take over.
Grade: B+

Libido: Sadly Botan ends up being sorta the third wheel between the two main yuri girls of the five girl cast. I suppose that she could be in a three-way relationship with Ruri and Ann, but I think that she doesn't have an interest in that sort of thing. Though I will mention that when they were talking about Ruri's underwear Botan took a good look (though sadly the audience was not able to see). Ren, the yuri-magnet kuudere, also princess carries Botan when she gets exhausted, but I think that's more a sake of convenience than romance. Besides, Hibiki and Ren tend to be the most obvious couple and I don't see the two splitting up for any reason. About the only character I could see ending up with Botan would be the meganekko teacher Saginomiya, but that's a stretch and it's only because she seems concerned after the lightning incident.
Grade: C

Age: Botan is a first year student of their high school. Because of this, I think that she's between 15 and 16. It seems that her birthday is February 23rd as well, though I can't find any data to back that up.
Grade: B

Total Grades: 73
Average score: 8.1
Final Grade: B

And that's the blog for the week!

: I am not familiar enough with your works. Is that grade good?

: It's not bad, you at least beat Otako for the highest score so far this year. Even if just barely...

I don't know how well it will hold up, though...

: It is still a blessing knowing that you think so highly of me. Perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that I should die.

I agree, you should never talk about something so serious. Nothing could be worth killing yourself over, as things can always become better.

: But things DO get worse...

Then you should always have hope in your heart that things will become better.

: You know you're not great at inspirational speeches.

I'm bad at inspiring myself, so why would you think I'd be better with other people?

: Get a job, freeloader! Wait, that's not inspirational at all either.

Indeed. Now, speaking of hope I bet you're wondering who the other girl is next week.

: I am, but I bet that there's some obscure clue instead.

I suppose. And I guess that rather than "Hope" she's on the "Despair" side of things. But don't cut the tension with a sword, be sure to tune in next time!
