[b][u]Trivia and Random Notes NOT Important Enough to Go into the Starter Post[/u][/b]

[list][*][i]StarRiders[/i] is initially just the English name I came up with for the Japanese title [i]Hoshizora no Riders[/i], which literally means "Riders of the Starry Sky". In my original plot plan, the term "Rider" was conceived by MC in the story, to show how the suits can fly at high speed (almost like riding the stars).[/list]

[indent]A megane bishoujo who can pack a punch (probably enough to send anyone straight to the moon manually). Oh yea, when she starts teasing you, you better run - because that's only the opening chapter to a torturous private session she's trying to reel you in. Even if you try to warn others about it, no one is going to believe you - she's smart enough to keep those things strictly behind closed doors, just that you're dumb enough to become her prey. In order to be immune you probably need to switch to being an M - and a kinky one at that.

That aside, she greatly reminds me of Kurosaki Shuri from [i]Asura Cryin'[/i], but ten times worse and minus the trigger-happy + big breast pride parts. She might be one of the most troublesome to deal with for Sora. (He is insensitive but not a masochist.) Well, unless his common sense is so dense that she would probably have to resort to beg him notice her - at gunpoint.[/indent]

[indent]How in the world can anyone not like this girl? Not counting the appearance requirements, she can easily be a grade S tsun-bitch that any (well, almost all) male otaku would readily worship under her dagger glare (and stomping foot for added bonus). Unfortunately, that's not enough for the ever-energetic scowling cutie - sitting on top of you isn't enough to wipe that frown off her face. Try hanging yourself up and offer to be her personal punchbag. If not, how about becoming her exclusive shooting practice target?

The base of a stereotypical tsundere is there, but she has more of a wild uncontrollable side instead of the usual "awkwardly cool" type. May take some time to rub off her temper, but once Sora is able to get past her firewall I'm expecting some classic tsun-to-dere moments (of less annoying level compared to Kugimiya's characters).[/indent]

[indent]We always talked about how we cherished the fun and happy times of our innocent childhood days, how we wanted to turn back time and stayed in that moment of cheerful serenity forever...and a sweet cutie to crush on from among the rose bushes. Congrats, your wish just came true - the very next day you actually got yourself a next-door-neighbor who looked exactly like your dream girl, but she's a hell lot more than what you'd bargained for. At first, you had this constant feeling that someone's watching you, and there were times some of your clothes simply disappeared from your room (uh seriously, why would anyone want to steal your pants?). Before you even knew it, suddenly the whole town was shipping you with your next-door crush. Should you be happy? Of course you were, because apparently no one's there to stop you from openly hugging her in broad daylight - which you actually tried, and regretted. Deeply so. Underneath all that aww-so-cute ball of sunny radiance hides a creepy side that made you realize you had just signed a horror contract with a demoness. Shadow Stalker? Check. Psycho Babyface? Check. Chainsaw Cutepie? Check. All you needed is a Bad Pun Generator to seal the pact.

Oh my - a pun-y stalker with a frigging gunblade that she won't hesitate to swing it into the face of anyone who snaps her out of her stalking mission. A variant of Cera as she lacks the possessive streak the Queen has on their shared crush, but nonetheless their obsession over a guy who probably would never see them that way is remarkable.[/indent]
