Happy Birthday Eli!
I'm really cutting this fine here but I've been super demotivated recently hhhhh at least I'm posting it just in time!
Eli was the starter girl that I picked when I first began playing llsif, back before Aqours was even an option. I saw that she was smart and strong and she had the same physical traits as I did (same hair/eyes) so I had to pick her! (Although I was a struggle to choose between her and Nozomi-)
She was my first R card, my second ever event card, my first UR and I as I got to know her through the stories, I truly admired her dedication to her role and her relationship with the other third years, especially Nozomi.
While Nozomi eventually did surpass her as my best girl, I always have a place in my heart for my original fave even if it was only for a short while. She remains today as my second favourite Muse girl! (Perhaps tied with Maki)
I wish her the best birthday wishes as we celebrate another year with our girl! Harasho~!
(I was going to try and draw a lil something for her birthday but I ended up procrastinating it for too long so here is a simple edit for her instead!)
