[Gigi the Gachapon]

Species — Gachapon Toon. Age – Adult. Head — As a gachapon Toon, Gigi’s head is literally built like a real gachapon capsule. The lower part of head is red plastic, while the upper half of her head is a transparent capsule dome or lid, forming the top portion of her sphere head. It can pop open with a soft “click,” just like a real gachapon capsule separating into two halves, then the dome can close too, completing her round gachapon head. Eyes — Black, half-lidded orbs with dark red eyeshadow. She has a relaxed, laid-back look. Body — Gigi’s body is red. Height — Like all Toons, she’s tiny, around 3 to 4 feet tall. Insides — If opened, the interior of her head is a small compartment. It’s cramped and can’t fit a lot, but she stuffs it with whatever she manages to hoard—little trinkets, random objects, candy pieces, gum, useless junk, and the occasional rad, actually-helpful item!

[Clothes]

Gigi wears a cyan sweater with a big loose neck and a yellow star printed in the center. The sleeves are ridiculously long, draping far past her hands. Underneath, she wears simple dark red pants.

[Connections]

Poppy the Bubble— Gigi absolutely adores Poppy, even if she’d NEVER say it that plainly because ew, feelings! Poppy is this loud, bubbly, hyper-social bubble Toon who lives anything that’s bold or fashionable in style, and Soda Pop. Poppy is friends with Gigi, hanging out a lot with her.S he hangs out with Poppy a lot, and their every interaction basically turns into:

“Poppy, look at this new shiny thing I got!” “Oooh, pretty!! But wait, is it yours?” “Yep :) totally :) !!!”

Flutter the Butterfly — Ohh, Flutter!! She’s this super-sweet, awesome little butterfly who’s sentimentally close to Gigi—like, actual bestie-bond! I-trust-her-with-anything type of close! Flutter’s mute, but everyone somehow understands her anyway (Cartoon logic), and Gigi never has trouble keeping up. Since Flutter has no arms, she lets Gigi write in her diary for her... And Gigi SWEARS—like, 100%, for real, no tricks this time—that she will never ever EVER share any of those secrets. They’re way too embarrassing, okay?!

Connie the Ghost — Cooonnie, dude!! Gigi’s bestie, her pal, her GIRL friend (like, GIRLY-friend, not girlfriend, don’t get it twisted, tsk tsk!). Connie’s this snarky cyan ghost with the very same laid-back, sarcastic vibe Gigi has! Just a biiit more... floaty, literally! She loves drifting around causing little problems on purpose, spying on people while invisible, and bragging about stuff she absolutely did not do. But end of the day? She’s ride-or-die for her friends. Cool, right?? So obviously Gigi and Connie are naturally super close—the whole “Hey girl! Hey!” “Heeey girlfriend, wassup??” kind of friendship.

[Notes]

— Gigi tends to hoard things, like she’ll scoop something up and tuck it away inside her head or in the mess she calls room. She isn’t trying to be selfish; she just gets attached to objects fast and has trouble giving them up, okay? If someone genuinely needs something she has (like REALLY, really needs), she will share... probably— but she won’t be happy about it!

— Her dorm is an absolute disaster; mountains of random junk stacked in every corner, trinkets spilling off shelves, mystery piles she definitely forgot the origins of, you name it! It looks bad (capital-B bad), but... eh. She doesn’t care. That’s just how she lives. And honestly? She wouldn’t dream of cleaning it. Every weird little thing in there is her “cool stuff,” and she’s not letting go of any of it.

— Gigi isn’t the best at keeping promises.

— She laughs akin to this: “Mwehehe!”

— Gigi’s trinket (her absolute pride and joy) is this big golden coin she calls her “Lucky Coin.” It’s the very first thing she ever collected. She keeps it close, guards it like a big bad dragon, and if anyone even looks at it too long she’s like: “Hey!! Eyes off!! This one’s mine.”
