Okay, might as well add this. ^__^
I want to get a collection of all known Minis going, with the aim of creating at least ONE Mini per known OS-tan (although feel free to add non-OS-tans for fluff). ^__~
I'm going to use a format that so far has proven successful in my other forum -- to use the first post as a text-link index that gets continuously updated (with post links) as new images are added to the thread. That way, NO Mini will ever be able to get lost and buried (that is, unless people are seriously allergic to checking out firsts posts. ^_____^'
I'll start first by setting up the index,... but after that, you're free to post as many Minis as you want (or as many as you think people's browsers can take...). No need to worry about order or pairing either. ^.^

Not to worry, Aurora-hime. This is an all-inclusive Mini thread, so just go ahead and repost old ones so we can fill up the list. ^.^

PilotOS:
(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/miniPilotOS.png)
Kind of hard building her from hand sketch to fruition, since I had a lot of trouble figuring out a color palette (as you can imagine, the old Xerox Star wasn't exactly known for its color display). ^^;
But at least Pilot-chan is now among us. ^__^
Yay! Pilot-san!
Way, way, way, back I once did a concept sketch of a PilotOS-tan; I have no idea where it resides right now, but I have so say your concept is fairly close to my drawing (though I imagined she'd have darker hair and eyes).
Lesse...what do the judges think?

Somehow,... I may have heard you mention that at one point. ^^
I had trouble deciding on a hair color, since indeed I never envisioned her with any set color in mind (maybe blue, but it didn't quite fit). In the end, after stairing at a picture of the Xerox Star long enough, I eventually decided to make her head look like the rather boxy mouse. Aside from the ellow-beigish hair, if you remove her cap and goggles, she has two whisps of dark colored hair that allude to that effect. ^__^
Speaking of which, she actually has no pigtails -- she uses her goggles to help drape most of her hair around the back of her head neatly (like a curtain).
I'm actually regretting not doing a Ver.2.0 mini, since you miss out on her legs (knee-length boots and heavy leggings).
QuoteLesse...what do the judges think?
BELLA-SAN MINI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^V^
*swoons*
Oh I'm SOOO lovin' that. ^___^
Now I'm in a bit of a dilemma.... cause I didn't post myself cause I'm not an OS-tan. However, since Bella-san made a self-Mini (and of course Infinity-san and Tsubashi-dono as well), now I have to consider a place to post them. @v@

Awwww... she's so deceptively DEMURE here. ^__^
Wait till we play around a little with her mini..... ^.^

Thank you Bella-san! ^__^
But we ain't done yet,... have at least one more surprise before day's end.....
ATARI-DOS-chan!!! Finally brought to you in full Technicolor!!! ^V^

Plus I'm happy to announce the availability of an updated template:
http://ostan-collections.net/downloads.php?view=detail&id=110
Hope it can help. ^v^
ATARI-DOS-chan! She's so cute :3
Is that a magician look she's going for? And what's that in her left hand?
I also downloaded the new template; cool, now I can see closeups of all your Minis! :D
Pilot OS-tan is soooooo cool! A disgruntled, foul-mouthing pilot girl! Awesome!
Atari DOS-tan is adorable! *glomps her* :D
Cool, Bella made a mini of herself! And with pink hair! The second Slackware-tan mini is funny! "Not a unix but still... 10" and Solaris-tan looks especially beautiful!
QuoteATARI-DOS-chan! She's so cute :3
Thank you. ^.^
QuoteIs that a magician look she's going for? And what's that in her left hand?
Tsk tsk tsk,... seems a certain Bella hasn't seen her Gallery profile yet. `v'
No problem, I'll repost it for the both of them:
Mini PilotOS-tanInfinity Zero-style rendition of PilotOS-tan, and as yet never-before-seen character personifying the Operating System for the old Xerox Star. Her cap bears her old company logo, and in her hand she carries a Smith & Wesson M&P circa 1915.
Mini AtariDOS-tanInfinity Zero-style rendition of AtariDOS-tan, a a previously hand-sketched but never drawn character personifying the Operating System for the line of Atari 8-bit home computers. Though not shown properly from this angle, her hair is braided in the fashion of the Atari logo, and her magician's uniform contains many elements of the system embedded in it. Her magic wand is actually an Atari Remote Controller (from the video game line, but still compatible with the home computers) with an elongated receiver
I do remember using those old "wireless" controllers -- very corny by today's standards, and the recievers were actually too flexible to hold up the VERY heavy base. But AtariDOS-chan is a magician, so she can get away with it. ^.^;
I can't remember why I wanted to maker a magician, but I guess my reasoning was that Atari used quite a bit of marketing "smoke & mirrors" to make their technically-inferior 8-bit computers competitive. The 16-bit ST series was actually a lot better (enough to give Amiga-sama a run for her money in some areas), but with their reputation tanking after 1985 it was too little too late. The old 8-bit Atari XE my brother used to own had very crappy software, and 98% of all the games we had were just hacked versions of C64 games his friends lent him. ^^;
In any event, back to the present..... ^____^'
AtariDOS-chan's cape and clothing makes her look more impressive than her actual skill set would reveal. But underneath that she's actually a very kind-hearted, fun-loving and innocent girl. If not for her old-fashioned mannerisms and very antiquated prop comedy, she acts her appearance rather than her age (~30). ^^'
She spends nearly all her time with PET-chan and ][-chan, forming a very inseparable, soft-spoken, tea-drinking trio. Although they used to be adversaries, they're now the best of friends -- neither PET-chan nor ][-chan would be willing to do anything more mischievous than stealing A-chan's Prestige and ransoming it for chore favors. ^.^;
QuoteI also downloaded the new template; cool, now I can see closeups of all your Minis!
Glad you like it. ^___^
Makes for one HELLUVA large SVG, though. ^^;
QuotePilot OS-tan is soooooo cool! A disgruntled, foul-mouthing pilot girl! Awesome!
Thank you. ^.^
I'm thinking of drawing her alongside with PC-DOS-chan on her plane, complete with the usual engine trouble. When that happens, the two let loose quite a colorful "Tapestry of Profanities". ^^;
In any event, time for some more legacy postings....
First three are Infinity-san's, the last one's mine (based on Gus-san's famous Virus-tans ^^):

(I've gotten a lot better since)
QuoteOooh, AtariDOS-chan is an interesting character
Contrasting that to Atari ST-san, who's a bit on the shallow side, Atari-chan is actually quite an interesting little thing. For an idea of her personality, try taking two serviings of Alvis from Last Exile, a scoop of Sakura from CCS, mix in a blender, add a dash of marjoram, and serve over warm toast with a trickle of sap. ^^;
For reasons I can't get into without delving more into my impossible manga stories, she's good friends with Windows 95 OSR 2.5-sama as well.
QuoteNow THAT'D be really %$#*ing awesome!
It'd at least give me a chance to draw the
X-Star (Pilot-chan's plane). Design wise it would be a canard-style plane fusing the Kyushu J7W1 Shinden and Richard Pearse's Flying Machine (which, much like Pilot-chan's own forgotten legacy, could've been considered the first airplane to fly successfully, if not for the unfortunate detail of being built in far-off New Zealand). ^^'
Might be a good diorema to stick in other vintage-tans in the background (covering their ears, of course). ^.^
=======================
In any event, just wanted to quickly dump these before I disappeared off again for a while....

After Siya, I noticed I hadn't done any fanart of your characters since VMS-sama (SAM-chan doesn't count, and the characters I'm holding hostage, well,.... yeah, that's just Baka C-chan being Baka C-chan. ^^;
But I LOVE PrimOS-san, and what better way to express my love, eh? ^___^
BTW, I do have to scold you a bit -- I didn't actually see her in the image galleries (only the SVG one). ^0^
QuoteNo, I think that's clever. I probably would have forgone that detail, but you went the extra mile.

....
We'll call it the extra "foot" instead. ^^;
QuoteHmmm...you think we'll see an Atari ST-tan in the future?
Well now that we're drawing minis again, anything's possible. ^.^
I still have to figure out a way to make her "Ranpha-inspired" but not TOO "Ranpha-like", if that makes any sense at all. ^__________^'
QuoteOh, and nice way to pique my interest--she's buddies with OSR 2.5-san?
Well not close buddies per se, but friends at least. ^^
There was a heartwarming manga idea I had in mind, which worked itself out to be a kind of day-in-the-life of for AtariDOS-chan. I have OSR 2.5-sama as something of a peddling merchant, selling her manga panels but not really having much in the way of "clients" in the rural areas.
...Except for Atari-chan, who LOVES her work and is essentially her number one buyer.
One day, as Atari-chan reads the latest article, they both get attacked by a hacked 2K-tan who proves a bit too strong for OSR 2.5-sama. Atari-chan draws attention to herself right before 2.5-sama gets slashed -- but in order for 2.5-sama to save her right back, she's forced to hurl her art bag at the hacked OS-tan. A few quick strikes later and the creature is defeated, but by then then her manga and art supplies are soaked beyond repair, and Atari-chan cries feeling responsible for the event.
The remainder of the story would've involved her, PET-chan and ][-chan embarking on a journey to find a replacement manga panel for 2.5-sama's last work. Won't tell you who it ends, but it gets quite heartwarming. ^^
==================
Oh, and don't mind me,....
Want to take the opportunity to close up some more gaps on the list, by posting up a few more of Gus-san's virus-tans. ^.^

QuoteThank you Bella-san. ^^
After Siya, I noticed I hadn't done any fanart of your characters since VMS-sama (SAM-chan doesn't count, and the characters I'm holding hostage, well,.... yeah, that's just Baka C-chan being Baka C-chan. ^^;
Hmmm...I hadn't noticed that ;)
QuoteBut I LOVE PrimOS-san, and what better way to express my love, eh? ^___^
BTW, I do have to scold you a bit -- I didn't actually see her in the image galleries (only the SVG one). ^0^
Oopsie, I could have sworn I uploaded the PNG image to my gallery...
QuoteWell now that we're drawing minis again, anything's possible. ^.^
I still have to figure out a way to make her "Ranpha-inspired" but not TOO "Ranpha-like", if that makes any sense at all. ^__________^'
...A little?
QuoteWell not close buddies per se, but friends at least. ^^
There was a heartwarming manga idea I had in mind, which worked itself out to be a kind of day-in-the-life of for AtariDOS-chan. I have OSR 2.5-sama as something of a peddling merchant, selling her manga panels but not really having much in the way of "clients" in the rural areas.
...Except for Atari-chan, who LOVES her work and is essentially her number one buyer.
One day, as Atari-chan reads the latest article, they both get attacked by a hacked 2K-tan who proves a bit too strong for OSR 2.5-sama. Atari-chan draws attention to herself right before 2.5-sama gets slashed -- but in order for 2.5-sama to save her right back, she's forced to hurl her art bag at the hacked OS-tan. A few quick strikes later and the creature is defeated, but by then then her manga and art supplies are soaked beyond repair, and Atari-chan cries feeling responsible for the event.
The remainder of the story would've involved her, PET-chan and ][-chan embarking on a journey to find a replacement manga panel for 2.5-sama's last work. Won't tell you who it ends, but it gets quite heartwarming. ^^
Wait--Is OSR 2.5-san an artist or something? At any rate, that's a sweet idea, and more proof of the One Degree of Separation between any two OS-tans :P
QuoteInferno-chan:
And Plan 9-sama:
*smooch* .... and..... *smooch*
Okay, they're inducted into the list! ^.^

Well not by trade, but she lives alone and has to subsist on something. She's too old to be hired as a bodyguard or trusted as a teacher (at least in the newer, richer communities), so often times she does some very odd things to make money. That includes drawing manga (and yes, in THAT style,... fufu... ^.^), but can also include stuff like making dresses or baking cakes and so on. ^^
Quote*smooch* .... and..... *smooch*
Okay, they're inducted into the list! ^.^
I was being quite lazy, so I just threw together an outfit for Inferno-chan. Something vaguely...Eureka-ish. Lawl.

*lightbulb goes on*
Aha! So she's to blame for all them XP-tan doujins? XD
Oh CRUD! I just noticed I didn't add Inferno-chan and Plan9-sama to The List yet. @@
Sorry Bell-san. ^_________^'
*konks self in head, then goes off to update The List*

Fufu... someone's into Eureka Seven it seems. I still need to get the other volumes. ^__^
QuoteOh I see, she's not with the rest of her family...
Nope,... just stops by infrequently to tease/usurp Hacchan and mooch some food. ^v^

==============================
Oh, and here's a few more Minis to plug up some holes. First two lovelies belong to Aurora-hime, the last one was Infinity-san's homage to Tsubashi's first OS-tan. ^^

Minix-san here feels quite strongly about microkernals, as you can tell.
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s320/BellasOS-tans/BELLA2.png)
And I is going to take a photo of you! Lawl.
And to post some more of Infinity-san's work...
My favorite Windows, XP-tan:

I've requested an Atari-tan like a year ago. I didn't noticed it was already done. o_o
A big thanks to C! ;010
(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/11498/z094.jpg)
No problemo, Alfamille-san. ^^
In any event, I had added Bella-hime's latest Minis before, but,... well,...... okay, I'll relink. ^__^
And rinse and repeat swoonage too..... ^.^
*swoons*
I'm mysteriously posting these up just for the heck of it. Not sure why,... tis a mystery why I drew up VMS-sama minis out of the blue. ^.^
(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/miniOpenVMS01.png) (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/miniOpenVMS02.png)
I explicity called her "OpenVMS", since I plan her original name of "VMS" to represent her younger self (the rapier-wielding, brash DEC officer), which I might draw later on. ^.^
Also posting the Sauce for no particular reason... *chortle chortle*
[attachment deleted by admin]
Adorable as usual, C-Chan! ^^
I liek that mask she has.
*GLOMPS C-Chan*
Yay! She's so cute in a kick-arse kinda way! Thank you so much for making a min VMS-sama! I might just have to use one of these in my avatar for a change ^_^
And a VMS-sama would be neat to see, too :3
Fufufu, thank y'all. Glad you like it, especially you Bella-hime. ^^
I have an idea for another Mini completely unrelated to the FOSA Lite contest -- might not take long to guess which one if you follow recent discussions in the area. ^.^
In any event, I'm gonna be in and out all day, but do plan to get some serious responses done. ^__^
^ Oh, oh, is it Symbian-tan!?
Cause I already drew a Symbian-tan, but I didn't really like it that much : \
Mini OpenVMS-sama is pure awesome!
Seeing the revival of this thread has inspired me to make some minis today:
Linspire-tan (pigtailed version and standard versions):
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/linspiremini1.png)(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/linspiremini2.png)
Freespire-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/freespiremini1.png)
an updated GS/OS-tan (and because she has been neglected by me for so long) :(
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/GSOSmini1.png)
And another neglected character, Windows 3.2-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/windows3-2mini.png)
I'll say it once, I'll say it again. Aurora-hime's on a roll! :D
These are all beautiful, and really great timing on Lin-chan/Free-chan! ^^
Added for sure! ^.^
Quote^ Oh, oh, is it Symbian-tan!?
Cause I already drew a Symbian-tan, but I didn't really like it that much : \
I find it hard to believe that you'd draw anything unlikeable,... I simply cannot fathom the thought.
But no, it's not Symbian,... but you're darn close. -v-
Give up? Well okay, here we go... ^.^
(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/miniTRON.png)
Course, I posted it only on the image gallery, so the element of surprise is already wasted (as judged by the comments). But all things being equal, saying hello to Mini TRON-tan! ^v^
Actually, had a bit of a moral dilemma,... after reviewing the TRON gallery again, it seems the other two variants look the same, but seem to have different colors and personalities. I wasn't sure whether they were simply design variants of TRON-tan, or actual SEPARATE manifestations of CTRON, BTRON, iTRON, etc.
The more stoic one is still my favorite, though, so I'm still sticking by it. But while the other designs could possibly be CTRON/iTRON, I'm not sure whether to splurge on separate characters, or conceive of a kind of physically-manifested Multiple Personality Switch. :P
Tis a battle between Occam's Razor and mind-boggingly Creativity -- my brain is frying already thinking about it. ^.^;
*brain melts*
*Welcomes Mini TRON-tan and escorts her to kidnapdom*
Well done, C-Chan! ^^
AHAHAHAHA!!! I knew it! I knew after you posted that I was close that it would be a TRON-tan!
I can see her as being a CIOST member...now I gotta add her in a group pic sometime...I have no ideas for her many personae, though ;)
And wonderful work, Aurora-san! I especially like GS/OS-tan, but they're all awesome :D
Mini TRON-tan is so cute and cool at the same time! As for the TRON-tan dilemma, I side with the multiple personality switch.
And after seeing the Malware-tan renaissance going on in Gussy's thread, I've been inspired to draw some virus-tan minis!
Here's Whale-tan
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniwhale1.png)(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniwhale2.png)
The second one shows her reaction to getting called 'fat'! :D
Hurrah for Whale-tan! ^^
3 more virus-tan minis:
Butterfly-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniButterfly.png)
A-Bomb-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniA-Bombtan.png)
4K-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/mini4K.png)
And a new OS-tan, MenuetOS-tan!:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniMenuetOS.png)
AWESOME! Great job! ^^
WAAAAAAAH!!!! This is too awesome!!! ^V^
BTW, I'm sorry I haven't stopped by here lately,... it's been cuh-rrrr-aaaay-zeee for me these past few days (with a capital "K"). ^.^;
It's over for now, so I'll happily resume my normal life here once I get a little rest. ^___^
I've been meaning to post up a present for you [Aurora], but got sidetracked with work so never put it up.
Please welcome:
Atari TOS-tan
(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/miniAtariTOS.png)
So now the sisterhood is complete. ^___^
Thank you again for keeping the artwork coming, Aurora-hime.
Whale-tan isa delight to see (although maybe could use a small whale tail sticking from the side).
Butterfly and A-Bomb-tan are jubilantly adorable, and best of all it handles my promise to Gus-san (since I never got around to doing these two).
Love what you did with 4K-tan and the signs -- obviously the format is condusive to prop humor
And my beloved Meiko,... er, I mean Menu-chan is finally here in color! ^v^
It's a bit hard ot make out the swiss army knfe, but the dress and hair details ook great -- will certainly help a lot when I cameo her in a particular comic. ^__^
I have to go, but when I return I'll comment on that beautiful GENIAC-tan picture you drew. I knew she'd look cute, just didn't imagine how much. ^.^
As for other Minis,... wondering who else will be next.....? ^-^
*stares at Siya*
Say,... do yo have a color map for Parsix-sama? ^__'
<.<;
>.>;
Yus.
I'll go put it my thread so as to keep this one for the minis. ^.^
Added after 28 minutes:
Also...
*cheers for Atari TOS-tan*
Thank you Siya-san. ^^
One down....
(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/miniParsix.png)
...the cream of the crop to go. ^.^
It feels so good to be able to help bring her into fruition. I'm gonna pour plenty of heart and soul into the full blown version! ^___^
Hurrah! She looks wonderful! ^^
I like the spearhead you chose!
AtariTOS-tan mini is so cute! Thank you, C-Chan! :D
Parsix-tan mini is very pretty, glad to see her rendered in full color too!
Fufu... thank y'all. ^.^
On a quick Geekery note, that particular variety of spear is called a "Mezraq", and was crafted in fork (two-pronged, the one she's using) or trident (three-pronged). Persian varieties usually had ornaments engraved into the steel, and were used primarily by cavalry up until the 19th century. Went with that since it seemed the most memorable. ^__^
But I ain't done yet!
@Siya: Full-version Parsix-sama is coming up next! ^.^
@Aurora-hime: Same thing for that Mughsoot/Foobies/TotalFark panel. Might even give the OSR sisters a small cameo too. ^__^
*reads through thread and swallows it whole*
Ommf. Next. Dish. Please. _Ã...wÃ..._
Welcome back Nejin-san. :D
Never thought I'd see the day a ravenous Haruhi would be eating stuff left and right. ;)
Don't worry, I've been playing too much Half-Life 2 in the few days I've been home. Might've turned into a headcrabuhi. Or something. Anyways, I leave tomorrow again, and you probably won't see me until the end of summer again >_>
I need to get myself some mobile uplink.
I was wondering about your whereabouts! OSC has only been about half as active without you, Bella and Smokey :(

I return to this thread with two new minis:
Bluebottle-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniBluebottle.png)
Yoper-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniYoper.png)
Aurora-hime, WHY do you wish to explode me? ;___;
*stares at Bluebottle-tan*
[dreamily] Uhhhhhhhhhh..... *v*
*stares at Yoper-tan*
Oh, now you've done it..... *______*
(http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/dumb/fae.gif)
C-Chan, you need to start spamming PARTY HARD explosion .gifs! IT'S CALLED DYNAMIC CONTENT, YEAH!
*shorts self*
It looks like Bluebottle-tan has been enjoying her blue bottles, again. Yoper-tan is unamused.
Super-excellent job, Aurora-san! ^^
Lud, the evidence that my absense can only help this forum is stacking up XD
Beautiful minis, y'all!
BELLA-HIME SIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @V@
*EXPLODES with excitement*
(http://files.turbosquid.com/Preview/Content_on_12_6_2002_19_04_29/Big_Explosion.jpgD0C9DC22-8CA7-4363-90A9AC176C77FB73.jpgLarge.jpg)
Mini Visi On-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/mini_VisiOn1.png)(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/mini_VisiOn2.png)
Mini C65-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniC65.png)
Yo Aurora-hime!
All that time spent with Xmas comics and Commodore-tans made me forget about the Minis thread. ^^;
Thanks as always for contributing some more unique beautful Minis! ^o^
Wow! Visi On-tan has a very remarkable hairstyle -- it's funky in a geewiz-how-cute-I-want-to-squeeze it kinda way! ^__^
And the xray beam is aptly XMen-like, good job! ^.^
As for C65-tan, seems our crazy little pirate girl translates very well in Mini mode. I'm glad to see I got the general color scheme (in the C65-tan plushie) right, although it clearly needs adjustments in a few areas (I have to lighten up the blue coat, darken her hair a bit, and make her kercheif tan. ^__^
ADDED!! ^V^
MOAR MINIS!!
A/UX-tan:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniA-UXtan2.png)
QDOS-tan:

RT-11-tan:

and DOS/V-tan, who is considered a canon OS-tan; although nearly forgotten:
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/CaptainMiko/OS-tans/miniDOSVtan.png)
[attachment deleted by admin]
GAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! Aurora-hime, you are TOO much!! ^v^
Heh... when you said you were gonna make more Minis, you weren't kidding. ^^'
Love QDOS-chan, but my fiance (= A/UX-tan) is gonna have to take the cake for most swoonable presentation. ^.^
ADDED!!!!!! ^V^
These are all really nice images. Some of these Tans, I've never even heard of their OS's :P
Razgriz1
Woot! More minis! I'm really loving QDOS and RT11-tan :D
I'm surprised you didn't strut out the goods when you stopped by here. Oh well, let me handle it. ^^
Bella-hime Cosplaying Yoko ... something.... ^^;
