It's interesting that both times Mikado met Utsuro were due to fires and the main magic we see him using in the killing game is fire.
The killing game is his way of bringing Utsuro back, but so was his fire. Idk man... he lives in my brain rent free like the cockroach he is
Hi my name is Yuki Dark'ness Dementia Maeda Way and I have short ginger hair (that's how I got my name) that reaches my shoulders and big doe brown eyes and a lot of people tell me I look like Utsuro (AN: if you don't know who he is get da hell out of here). My teeth are straight and white and I have a pale white skin. I'm an Ultimate Lucky Student and I go to a special school called Hope's Peak Academy in Japan. I'm an emo (in case you couldn't tell). Today I was wearing a brown jacket, a white shirt, an orange vest, a red tie, grey pants, brown shoes and a wristwatch. I was walking outside Monocruise. It was sunny and warm which I was very neutral to. A lot of Voids stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
HOLY FUCK AO3 IS THE FUCKING GOAT ITS ABOUT TIME
DRA GOT ITS OWN AO3 FANDOM LISTING YAAAAY- forgive me user subscribers if me switching em all over notifies you i really hope it doesn’t. BUT AO3 DRA WOOOOOOO-
As I promised before, here are some extra doodles for their designs along w some backstory + discarded costume choices!
The reason why I made full body references when I only did a half-ish body drawing was because I didn't had the composition figured out at the time.

His costume design and backstory in the AU was heavily inspired by the Harley in the 2004 The Batman animated series because I happen to actually like how she was portrayed in that series.
Ofc I changed some key points, the biggest being the fact that he was never a psicologist because sdra2 already has Kokoro, plus, I thought that the idea of maintaining him as a journalist who caught himself in a mess was an interesting idea.
His civilian appearance was influenced by one of his beta designs.
The only discarded doodles I'm gonna show of him. They aren't detailed bc he got the role so I didn't see the point on detailing them.

I already knew how Mikado would look like so he doesn't have discarded choices except when it come to the color palette bc that's always a battle for me...
His design was slightly inspired by both Joker's design in The Batman 2004 and the Joker in the Suicide Squad Isekai Anime.
For a moment I thought about painting him a smile on his face like the anime Joker but inmediatly decided against it because I was too lazy to draw that a bunch of times🤷♀️

When I realized iroha wasn't gonna win I decided detail all her doodles and put them together so you could appreciate her design better!
Unlike Nikei, her costume design was more jester-like and includes the three diamond symbol bc I thought it would fit her very well.
If she would have won, her backstory would have been a lot more simple than the one Nikei has bc she simply got into the wrong place at the worst time and only helps Mikado bc he "promised" that if she served him, he wouldn't kill her so she doesn't even hide the fact that she doesn't feel love and instead fears him a lot.
