Well, in my case, when I make an OC, I think of a very basic background story, then I think of what that would do to affect their personality, THEN I draw up a design. Though sometimes I'll go out of order depending on my mood.
For example, my OC, Venus, was based off a short but very capable friend of mine. For her back story: she's a dhampir, and the first to survive infancy. When she was 4, her parents died in a tsunami (which she survived by some miracle), so she was taken in by her vampire grandmother. However, when she was 7, vampire hunters attacked the village, killing her grandmother, and leaving her to wander around the country.
Because of this, Venus can come off as cynical and cold, if you become good friends with her, then you've got a friend who will stick with you, come Hell or high water.
(I could help you with a name, by the way )

She looks amazing!!
I could imagine her havin pokemon like, Mienshao, Meowstic, Cherrim, Sneasel, Jigglypuff or Clefairy. (any Cat-like pokemon would fit her I guess, she has a cat person sort of feeling to her)
I think she could be an actual sweetheart kind of persopn, but hard to approach
Only after spending lots of time with her she'd become comfortable around you
When I design OCs, I often picture people I know, but most of the time barely anything is left of that person by the time I'm "done" with the OC
When I already got a few OCs for a story/set up/whatever, I tend to make OCs who'd be interesting to see interact with the already existing ones, and during that process I sometimes also change to first ones a bit.
As for the appearance I usually go with what I like or think would fit the personality I guess? I'm also not so good at diverse faces so I tend to make different combinations of hair and eye color
I hope this was a little help for you

For clothes I think about what I think the charakter would like or need.
An actitve, action type of person? Short hair (or ponytail) and clothes that are easy to move around in! A shy, not so open person? Long hari, clothes that are extra comfortable and not so showy. And so on~
I don't know if it counts as thinking of an outfit on my own, but when I look for clothes references, I don't find a dress and immedietaly think "this is great, I want something like that", I go through tons of tons of clothes, and then go back to my drawing and go "I want something that frills", and then try out some things; a frilly blouse, a short summer dress, a long dress, frilly sleeves, etc... and what I like sticks
I always have somewhat of struggle when the style is far from my own and I think something like "Would they really wear something like this on a normal day? Wouldn't this or that get in the way?" and such...
If the character belongs to a certain seires (Pokemon for example), I check a lot of pictures of characters to get used to the style.
That leads me to stuff like, Pokemon characters aren't a detail-heavy as, let's say, Final Fantasy. This kind of stuff
In Pokemon's case I sometimes even go as far as thinking about the limiting colorscheme. "This is pokemon, these characters could appear in a game using sprites, they have a limited color pallet. (Take Dawn's DP outfit for example: The skirt, boots, and pokeball pattern on her hat have the same pink; the stockings have the same color as her top, in game her hair too; her hair clips have the same color as her bag; and her scarf the same color as her poketch)
Oh, this got longer than I expected I hope something helped you

well, i don't know any when it comes to pokemon, but just looking at her design face value, i may be able to help
because of the design of her dress, i'm feeling a kind person, but on't take that for weakness. she also looks have a uplifting personality. the kind that can make her aggressive strategies seem to come from left field. so the cheerful-but-very- powerful-in-a-sneeky-way?
idk, its just some random deviant's opinion

Yo yo, she's such a cutie man! I adore her design! ;D
(Girl how you been doin? ;D Dunno if you remember, I use to own Manami. The blue haired pokemon dork I've scrapped due to her needing SO much work lol;; )
As for suggestions, I can give some a swing. As far as what she could be, that could depend on the story you have in mind for her unless you have some traits in mind already. o: Just looking at her here, she seems like a confident and positive person - possibly a nice big sister type, or even a bubbly young adult if you don't wanna go the "big sister" route. Just depends on what you want her to be and the story you build around her. These aspects can be difficult sometimes and take a while to work out, so I feel you man... @ v @;;
Pokemon verse wise, if you're planning on having her train a certain type, I could easily see her with Grass and Fairy types, possibly even Normal or Water too (looking at her colors kind of made me think of Finneon and Milotic ;D). Personally I love the idea of her having a Sylveon or a Milotic, but that's just me lol. She could match so well with other pokemon too, but it's hard because there are so many to consider LOL!

Dawww, I've missed you too chickie! ;D I've been so inactive on this account for so long it's laughable haha! Q v Q
I don't think Manami herself will come back, BUT I do have two trainer character concepts in mind I may try and doodle once I'm in one of my pokemon moods lol. One is similar to Manami's old concept, but with quite a few differences. XD
No prob, glad I could help in any way! ;D

Lol, yeah, went ahead and changed mine after a while. Started out as a small joke, but it stuck so I've been using it everywhere haha. XD
I actually had you on my watch list all this time, but since I've not been posting much I've sorta been idle for a while. Work and real life keep me busy and tiring me out to the point where I lack motivation. Bleh, I wanna pull myself out of that eventually lol.
Oh for sure! I have a test design for one of them on a lil cheeb I drew a while back for an attempt at making adoptables lol:Β gyazo.com/0649ec12dd6d15e04eceβ¦
Some details will possibly change though, this is so old haha. I haven't started with my other trainer concept quite yet. That one is more recent, soooooo lack of time sob. Q v Q

I can see her with Florges or a Klefki, maybe even a Furfrou or male Unfezant. She could be the "cool big sis" archetype?
But to add to OC designs, a lot of my own OCs are based off of people I know or my own personality aspects~ Appearances are pretty random, but those are based off of general personality (again, from people or myself)~

Pinterest is where I go for a lot of clothes references, or I'll look up a certain style as well. Sometimes I find inspiration in manga as well~ A lot of times I'll think about practicality and if the clothes fit in the universe/setting of whatever you're using said OC for!Β
