Aww yiss, it's that time again! I'm hosting another "Draw My OC" contest, this time with my moe devil girl, Anzu!
Anzu is a Devil, a type of low-level demon specializing in fire magic. During her younger years, she discovered that she was able to wield water magic as well (Something very rare amongst her kind.) Even though her skill level is pretty average, her ability to use two elemental magics allowed her to attend a prestigious magic academy. This is where she met Iso and Nia and became their good friend.
Anzu is humble and always friendly, though she can be a bit clumsy and air-headed at times (read: Natural moe charm ). Despite being the same age as Iso and Nia (18 years old), her shorter stature, small chest, and taste in cutesy clothing makes her look several years younger than she actually is. Anzu is terribly embarrassed by this despite the constant reassurance from her friends. After all, it's hard to accept being flat-chested when all your friends have huge boobs Anzu is also rather sensitive about her trademark pitchfork. When Anzu was little, the other kids teased her, saying that she looked like the "Underworld Deviled Ham" mascot because she was a Devil with a pitchfork. Because of this, she tries to convince everyone that her weapon is a trident instead. I guess tridents are cooler. I don't know...
Anzu is passionate about two things: books and spicy food. She loves to read, but will often get so engrossed in her book that she may wander off without paying for it/checking it out of the library. She has gained a reputation amongst book sellers as a customer to keep an eye on Hot peppers are Anzu's favorite thing to eat. She has an extremely high tolerance for heat and would just assume have all her meals be spicy (even dessert. Chocolate-covered jalapenos, anyone?)
Good luck, and I look forward to your wonderful entries!

Closed + Name change
These are now closed! Only three people responded. Oh well. Saves me the trouble of having to choose ~dignitylaughplz (https://www.deviantart.com/dignitylaughplz) I'll be noting you all shortly!
Also, if you haven't noticed, I have changed my username. "Hiiragi" is a name I use pretty much everywhere else online and in games, so it felt appropriate to change my dA name to that as well. I really just wanted to be "Hiiragi", but that name was already taken. Oh well. I'm a weird old weeb, so tacking on "-san" works for me too And after 11+ years as "Miss-It-Girl", a change feels refreshing!
