Lovely design & awesome shrine, Tara! I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of Yukari in the early stages of the game. (And based on your section about her being slandered as a "bitch"--a great essay btw--you are aware she's not a popular character in the fandom, haha.) That being said, I was really interested in reading your take on her. :)

I love the way you've taken her apart in so many different ways: persona, arcana, appearance, important relationships in the game. I feel like you've covered her as a character fully without overdoing it. It's very digestible! SMT has a lot of symbolism and fun things to pick apart as a player, so these kinds of shrines are really fun for me. I'm super glad to see Yukarin get such a spot-on shrine~! And I really love the way you've written it out to show that she isn't a bitch, she's just a girl who speaks up for herself and what she believes in. :)

(I will second what Snow said, it might help to add some contrast between your background color and your font by making your font a darker shade of pink. It is really hard to read on my monitor! :cry: )

Thank you Aku!! *o* I love making shrines to games like Persona because of all the symbolism it has. I've always had a great interest in learning about the Tarot and this shrine gave me just the incentive. It was a lot of fun to learn about! I'm glad you enjoyed reading all my rambling~

I did darken up some of the text since the both of you hinted that it was too bright (I blame my off-colour monitor), but if it's still not bright enough let me know and I'll darken it up some more! :D

It's still very light for me, Tara-dear. I would appreciate if you could try and darken it up some more. But if everyone else can read it, it could just be me. Let me screen what I see, maybe that'll help?

I'm with everyone else, haha. Avoiding the spoilers because I want to play this game, too, but it looks amazing! I'm so happy to see you back shrining!
