Day 4: Favourite Afterglow character

The amazing bread-loving Moca! I think among my top 5 Moca's the one I fell in love with for the most superficial reason. Like it wasn't her design or anything so she wasn't my immediate fav (Himari was best Aglow girl at first and I still love her lots), but Moca quickly rose to the top after I realised how delightfully funny she was. That was it, pretty much. She managed to get a giggle out of me every time she opened her mouth and to this day I never tire of her laziness and teasing and self-aggrandising. It kinda says a lot about her presence as a character, that that alone is reason enough for her to stay in the top tier.
I'm glad we're shown her serious side though. It's really lovely that underneath that attitude is the gentlest, most perceptive and caring girl who just happens to be an agent of chaos bc y'know, why not (the Valentine's event oh god). She's flawed too, inclined to watch things unfold instead of intervening when she should, and that and her subsequent development round out her character even more.
Oh and I should also mention that I'm halfway through Part 2 of Aglow's band story (I should finish it one of these days huh) and she's giving me pain thank you
And and! I may not have as much to say about her but that's only bc as I said, the main reason I love her is kinda shallow but by no means insignificant, and I don't identify with her much so I don't feel the need to pour my entire soul out aldkfjs
