Description My contest entry for 's contest.

(These are one of the sketches I managed to finish recently. )

In this contest, we have to put any of 's characters in their Halloween costume. For some weird reason, I felt like drawing only these two. (Tajii and Ami)

I hope I'm not late. >A<

questions that will most likely pop up into your head
Where in the world did you get this idea?
I was reading *Tajii-chan 's "A Hero's Tale" (Chapter 3, to be specific) a few days ago and when I saw Tajina in the text. That's when it came to me and my imagination started running wild with how she's like as a warrior in AHT. (Nothing was really mentioned about her job class, though, just a brief history.)

What are Ami and Tajii like then?
They're rivals ever since they were born, when they ironically live under the same roof. They're both mages and they do quests for people in the town the live in. They see who gets the bigger pay at the end of the day but it always has been a tie. ._."
Tajii uses the offensive-type of magic. She is usually mistaken for a knight because of the spear-like staff and the armor she wears. Yes, she has a cat familiar.
Ami uses defense-type magic. She usually uses it to create a fog or mist for special effects for her Town Square performances. She doesn't use a staff at all.

Is there some kind of plot?
N...Not really. One day, they were invited by Rainbow Hearts Castle to be Duke Taij's bodyguards because of the increasing number of kidnapping incidents.

What's Taij like as a Duke?
He gets bored easily if doesn't he has his pet bird to entertain him. When he's really bored, he secretly goes out and places his double to cover him for a while until he comes back. (That explains his numerous kidnapping incidents.)

If Taij is there, then is Trish and Serenity there,too?
Yep, Trish is a crusader and she is the Head of the Rainbow Hearts Knights. Serenity is one of the members of the RH Court and she spends most of her time in the RH garden.

Who is his double?
RAINBOW KID~!!!
Just dye his hair completely black and take his eye patch and VOILA! You have another Taij.

How can I tell the difference between him and Taij?
Rainbow Kid- Take Taij's pet bird away and he'll pretend nothing happened.
Taij- Take Taij's pet bird away and he'll chase to the ends of the earth until he gets it back!

That's all.

This is so AWESOME~!!

(And I feel so bad that I can't fave it right now! D8 My computer won't let me fave anything ._.; But I will fave it immediately when I can!) First of all, let me just start by saying that when I saw this in my inbox, it completely made my day~! Your works are not always just so full of detail and beauty in the actual artwork but in the descriptions as well! ^3^ I absolutely LOVED looking through both the artwork and the concept/theme here! ;D I absolutely love seeing my characters in your style, and this time is no different! Both Amy and Tajii look super sweet in your style~! ;3; And I LOVE the outfits and designs that you gave the both of them! They fit them, I think! ^3^

Not only are the designs themselves wonderful, but the background is amazing as well! I love all of the detail and the sweet little designs! The border fits everything perfectly; I love the theme of the Halloween checkers! I think the background really compliments Tajii and Amy as well; they look so happy~~ ;u; <3 And as for the concept.. it's GENIUS! XD Tajii -coughTajinacough- is portrayed in a much better way here than in the original a Hero's Tale story :'D She doesn't do much- just rides on Matt's gigantic sword, writing in her notebook <3 And since the things she writes come to life.. well..~ But anyways, I really love this idea! And you placed all of the characters so perfectly in such an awesome setting! I especially love the idea of Taij and Rainbow Kid- Rainbow Kid being his double! I'd noticed that before myself, but never thought to expand on it 8D

Also, I love how the ruler of Rainbow Hearts Castle is Taij, who, ironically, wears nothing but B/W lD It's just amazing <3 And I love how you fit Serenity and Trish into the story as well! ^__^ And the birds.. the birds! It's genius! >D I've been trying to draw Taij and Tajii as you drew them in your entry to my last contest; the one with the carriage and the pretzel garden~ And I may have to try to draw out this idea too ._. It's really amazing! And you should put your own characters into the theme as well! It would be the ultimate story *__* Especially with your amazing characters added in! I'll have to draw it sometime! >3< <33

Sorry for taking up so much space to write a comment D; I just.. had to leave a long comment on this <3 Thanks so much for deciding to submit this- It's really adorable; your artwork always makes me so incredibly happy!

<333

*late reply* OTL

OaO Thanks so much. I'm so happy you like them.

Although, I think I need to redesign Tajii's. >o< Oh yeah, in case if you haven't noticed, you could see the "rainbow" in her outfit. XD I like Ami's better.

To be honest, I was really being random with the BG because school drained my creativity that time Even the concept itself, I just picked it up from the DoC. Just wanted to go try what Tajii was like before she was the RH queen. I would find the life-giving writing power quite convenient, you could turn the battle to your favor. (WHAT THE-? No way. Nothing beats original. ) The one about Taij and Rainbow Kid was also random. XD One time, I imagined Taij do the exact opposite, being RK's double but Taij wouldn't like that, would he?

Speaking of B/W, think about it. The boys that the girls in the RH set are paired up with, they're B/W too. XD
Tajii=Taij (black)
Lacey= Melistio (white)
Sherri= Tala (IDK if that's his official name, black)
Atrix= Lunarix (grey, a mix of two colors but it's still B/W)
and Pokemon Black and White was just released. <3

I just put them in a position which fits their personalities. Trish gave me an impression that she's a tough person and she's Tajii's character but she wants to feel high and mighty and Serenity's Serenity, she looked like one of those wise character-types.They both are somehow close to Taij so I gave them a high position. XD The birds were based off Pretzel Garden. I'm so touched that you like both concepts.

I did plan on that. OuO Atrix's the gardener of the RH garden. She can hear the whispers of the flowers so she's the first to know most of the rumors going around RH castle. The plants are practically everywhere in the castle so no secret is safe. It's convenient for the prevention of uprisings. She's the rumored witch of the castle (she's not a witch at all.) just because of the herbal medicine she offers. Lunarix is one of the B/W Knights ,a not-so RH version of the 3 Musketeers, along with Melistio and RK. Tala's the apprentice/substitute of RK at the moment since he's busy covering for Taij. Sherri is a scholar/astrologist, she predicts the future. Lacey is also a member of the royal court.

Ah, I'm so sorry for the late reply! ._. I've read this before but just didn't have the time to reply! I'm glad that I could finally get to it!

Anyways, I really love the concepts you come up with They're always so imaginative and creative- you do such an awesome job coming up with the background stories and all!

Tajii's writing is only convenient when she's in the background. If she were faced with an enemy at front she would have no time to write- so she'd been rendered useless This happens many times in the Tales of Tajii; where she ends up running from battle in most cases

Ah, that's so cool! *__* And conveniently right when Pokemon Black and White came out~ Wow ;D I love Lunarix's colors ^^

Trish actually despises Tajii, and is trying to get rid of her the entire story. Naturally, Taij is always there to rescue her. Tajii often tries not to care because she's used to be protected- she's spoiled like that :'D And Serenity is a character that changes personalities really quickly. She's very much like Taij in that one moment she'll be extremely kind and in the next very aggressive. She tends to be more 'serene' at most times though- it's just because she's an 'incomplete' character; her personality was never defined by Tajii.

The birds are adorable ;u; And I loved your pretzel garden picture!

Atrix's ability is so cool! The Flower whisperer~ Ah, how pretty It would be so nice being the gardener with such an awesome ability ;w; And I love the '3 musketeers' idea; you make it so original! I want to draw Lunarix as a B/W knight some day~ ._.

All of the characters have such unique positions! It would be so cool to draw them all together- I'll have to do that one day

You could probably write an entire game about these two.

Hmm..yeah, maybe a few gameplay screenshots would do but who knows who the real enemy is. Me and my wild imagination. XDD

It may not even need an enemy. It could be a funny minigame game.
