The sound of the rain is spectacularly Rainy. It's a song that could catch a glimpse of the different side of ota2.

I immediately thought up of an image that was a girl possessing a raincoat and umbrella, falling initially in love when I listened to the demo of a new song from 8.

---

I created a young woman who makes herself taller while being a bit childish. And thus Ruri is created.

---

I went to create conceptual animations for someone who is fond of the sound of the rain alone, and let her enjoyment be found passed by. This side of her is still not present in the song; after a while, Haya-P was astounded looking at the lyrics sent to him... It sounds like a tune coated by ennui!

---

After I ran into some road bumps, I made an animation (a NORMAL CLEAR) of her unwinding, "as she gazes at the raindrops, singing at her window", viewed in the lyrics.

If anything, she is from England, but I accidentally made her French. So on, the umbrella was the hard part.

Appearance

Rainy

Ruri's major appearance is a blondie with violet eyes. Her hair is styled in a pair of large and brushed pigtails, and on Ruri's head is a deep pink-colored hat that is wide. Her attire is a raincoat with six buttons, a waist belt, and high heels. Ruri carries a parasol with the same color as her attire, but with small polka dot patterns.

Ruri's alternate color palette made her a brunette with dark cacao brown eyes. Her outfit is a white long-sleeved top with orange-red buttons. The four-leaf clover on her shirt maintains it color from Ruri's original color palette. Her long skirt is leafy green and her belt is dark gray. Ruri's umbrella and hat matches her outfit.

Lovers Pop

Ruri's attire is modified in her winter attire, such as a light red-colored cap with a puffy ornament on top, and a large, wooly scarf. Ruri wears a coat that has an identical color as her cap with four, dirty-colored buttons, an ankle-length skirt that is underneath her coat, with "x's" in each side and a light salmon-colored highlight on the bottom, and brown, high-heeled boots. Ruri hair is tinted with a slight goldenrod color gradient.

In her 2P palette, the white and green color scheme, as well as her chocolate brown hair color and dark brown eye color, returns from her debut 2P palette. Her cap and coat are green, and her highlights on the edge of her skirt are light green.
