Description So, after a while I could start re-doing the chibi refs of my JJBA OCs to actual reference sheets!

First one is Rafaella Marinelli, from Battle Tendency!

She was Caesar Zeppeli's lover and my main JJBA OC Karina's grandmother!
Rafaella is a small and curvy Italian girl. She's a very warm person but also can be a bit harsh and grumpy, especially with certain blond
I wasn't sure about the bg since I saw both PB and BT refs with white bg and with transparent bg too, but I always prefer a white one so yep

You can read her full profile on ToyHouse. Also a little one here in dA.

Still, I'll tell a few things about her:
  • Her seiyuu is  Yū Kobayashi, and her English voice actress is Shelley Calene-Black.
  • Her namesakes are Raffaella Carrà  and Anthony Marinelli .
  • She was born the 11th July of 1916, so is 22 during BT.
  • She’s Italian, her height is 150cm, and her blood type is A.
  • She met Caesar before the events of BT and have a relationship. More about it here .
  • Something that can’t be seen in the refs is that she has some scars on her back due to a fight she had with her father when telling him that she was in love with Caesar.
  • She had a fiancé (Adriano Antonacci) but had to break up due to her pregnancy.
  • When she moved with her daughter she decided to use the surname Zeppeli. Briefly after, she met Messina.
  • In the IH AU she could reunit with Caesar since he didn't die. More about it here
Also, about the outfits featured here:
  • The first one is the main outfit of Rafaella.
  • The second one is her alternative outfit.
  • The third one is the one she used in her dates with Caesar, a more formal outfit with a matching cloche hat and black evening gloves. Also, in this one, she had a slightly darker lipstick.
  • The last one is another alternative outfit for winter times, like when she moved with Mina to Genoa. Also, in the IH AU I usually draw her with it.

I hope you like this ref of my little baby Ella!! Tbh I would never think that she would be one of my most beloved OCs since she's a minor chara, but here we are!!
Wait for more references sheets! Next one is Karina!

HER
I'm really looking forward to seeing your full refs of your JJBA OCs, Miru! so I get to see my daughters again :3c All the outfits are beautiful imo because they're my favorite colors for outfits and they go with her color palette wonderfully!! And the expression of her blushing is SO PRECIOUS TOO I think my fav outfit is her main one tho, I love blue and pink and her poofy sleeves but I also REALLY love the color of the brooch with the purple outfit... ARGH I'm so indecisive
Maybe this is weird but I've always wondered what fankids would look like with the other ppl of the IH OT4 :3c Kind of like what you did with your Magi fankids lol, I'm certain they'd all be cuties tho uwu

Ooh she looks very pretty, Miru!! ^^ I love the idea of you using the designs of theirs into the full reference sheets. That makes it easier for sure, in my opinion. I might do the same for my OCs as chibis before I make their actual references. Anyways, all of her outfits look awesome and they really fit her! I especially love the maroon, dark green, and blue colors. And you get the style spot on!

(you're lowkey making me want to make an JJBA OC when I get into the fandom-)

Thank you so much, Mani!! Yes, tbh I did the chibis cos at first I didn't think about making a full ref but here we are Thank you, I'm glad you think so!!

(it's always nice to make an OC, even if just a minor one uvu)
