Making mistakes is better than faking perfection.

Lila Yamamoto is an all-around character introduced in 2022. She is a student at Rainbow High that focuses in Visual Arts and Computer Animation.

Character Description

Lila Yamamoto is a streetstyle icon in Tokyo whose style is influenced by her rich multicultural roots. Her Dad is Japanese, and her mom is Chinese. She shows up at Rainbow Vision ready to make her mark. Unlike her peers, she prefers to work her magic in the background. Look closely at the Rainbow Vision stage design and you'll see the artistry that Lila brings to every project she gets her hands on. From painting, to sculpting, to graphic design, she's a jack of all trades.

Looks

Physical Appearance[]

Lila is a teenage girl with a medium build and a tanned skin tone. She has mauve hair with blonde streaks that is parted down the middle. Her hair is tied up into two braided buns with dark mauve ribbons, and the front sections of her hair is cut into side-swept bangs and she also has blue eyes. Her makeup consists of bright mauve eyeshadow with graphic deep brigh purpled mauve eyeliner and shimmery cherry red lipstick. She wears a mauve bandage across her nose, and small colorful stickers across her cheeks. Her preferred style is very cutesy and eccentric, with elements of edge and streetwear. Some of her pieces also take inspiration from her Chinese and Japanese heritage.

Her face sculpt features a more slender face shape, a more upturned eye shape, and a different lip shape in comparison to the original face sculpt.

Outfit[]

Lila's first outfit consists of a purpled mauve and white kimono with silver and black clips and a matching belt along with fingerless black and white gloves. Her pants are a metallic dark mauve pencil skirt with graphic print and lots of silver studs and zippers, and she wears platform crocs shoes with many charms on them with white socks.

For her second outfit, she wears a mauve metallic qipao with cherry blossom detailing. She also wears a mauve mesh skirt with glitters, with a mauve belt with a bow on it. For footwear, she wears black geta shoes with mauve ribbon straps and cherry blossom detailing on the straps and soles.

Personality

Lila is a friendly girl who likes to reach out to people who share the same interests as her, and she's willing to spark up a conversation and also bond about those said hobbies. Along with this, she's also shown to tame her art rather seriously, wanting to spread it everyone she goes.
