Unfulfilled Juri

"Believe in miracles, and they will know your feelings.

Juri Arisugawa from Revolutionary Girl Utena.

A lot of lesbians credit Haruka and Michiru from Sailor Moon for helping them realize their sexuality. Well, as much as I love Haruka and Michiru, I'm afraid they can't take credit for me. That credit belongs to Juri Arisugawa. Her tragedy touched me so deeply, that it made me realize a lot about myself.It's a long story that I won't bother making anyone listen to, but I owe a lot to Juri.

So. Here she is in her Rosebride dress, clutching her famous locket. She never actually wears a Rosebride dress during the series, so I used several doujinshi and cosplays as inspiration for the colours. I was torn between soft peach and white or orange and green. I went with peach for sever reasons. One, the orange fought with her hair too much. And two, if Juri were to wear a Rosebride dress, hers would be different from everyone else's since her situation is so different from all the other girls.

ANYWAY. This is a re-do of an old picture so if it looks familiar, that's why. I'm not too sure about the background, but I spent enough time picking at it. Over all though, I'm very happy with how this piece turned out!

Enjoy!
