Quote with two female video game characters you like!

I am going with some RPG heroines I loved growing up.

Rutee from Tales of Destiny, and Chris from Suikoden 3.

When I create characters in games, I always use the name Rutee and use red as the primary color.

The campaign met its initial goal overnight! It’s been funded enough that everyone backing a physical copy of the book will get a free @ryspiritart.bsky.social sticker with their copy!

(I also somehow forgot to make a digital tier, so that’s also updated, and an add-on option)
