Hii I'm Claire!! I'm new here, and I figured I'd mix my intro with my DaysofBanGDream! post. So my pronouns are she/them, and I love Kaoru and Maya.

I started playing Bandori in May of 2019 when my (at the time friend, now gf) introduced it to me. I immediately became engrossed by the characters and the music. And well. Now I'm here lol.

I think that there are multiple ways the game has changed me, some more subtle than others. The amazing art inspired me to practice my drawing, and now my style is very much based on the Bandori artstyle, the costume design especially! But the girls have helped me accept myself as well. I saw myself in Arisa, and began to understand how I drive people off with my cold demeanor. When I saw her trying to change it through Arisa's Not So Bad Day (was that the name? i forget lol), I decided to do the same, and well it's not going perfectly, I'm proud of myself for trying. The other girl who inspired me is Maya, and I know this is gonna sound weird but she's kind of my role model?? She doesn't entirely fit in with the beautiful Pasupare girls and she stands out so much with her geekiness. Her commitment to the drama club astounds me, and now I work on the sound board for my school's plays because of her! I want to be like her, and I think I'm getting there. I've started to become more open about my interests to others, even though they might make fun of me. Maya has helped me so much.

Umm yeah that's it!! I'm so glad to be a member of this community and I want to meet some pals on this website! Huehehe~
