The first thing that snatched my eye was

their design. With the color and style of

the hair, I was immediately reminded of

a phoenix. Despite their quirk having

nothing to do with phoenixes, their

appearance does relate to their quirk in

its color scheme, so there's some points.

Light manipulation quirks aren't an

original idea, but not all quirks need to

be crazy unique. I myself have several

characters with different elemental

manipulation quirks. They're one of the

most basic powers, so it makes sense

that the world may be full of them. The

fact you've included a drawback is proof

that you know how quirks should work,

and is generally the mark of a good OC-

maker.

There are two depictions of Sora: one

where they have long, ombre hair, and

another where they have short, half-shaved

hair. I believe the latter is the newest

design, as it is used in the cover image,

and the other style is listed as "old hair."

I do believe the redesign was a great choice

considering the old design lacked many

distinctive or unique traits other than the

hair color. I have no real complaint or

critique about appearance, other than

in relation to their sister, which will be

addressed later.

If there was one thing I'd push to improve

about Sora, it would be their personality.

Personality is one of the core aspects of

any OC, and yet all that's supplied is a

list of eight vague traits, and an "etc."

I know explaining a personality can be

a challenge, but even a couple sentences

for each trait would help tremendously.

Additionally, it seems Sora possesses no

negative traits. The closest would be

"demanding," but that's more nuetral

than negative. Keep in mind that even

fictional characters have flaws. Having

none makes Sora feel like a Mary Sue,

and they may be boring to interact with.

Similar to personality, we're not given

much detail to the backstory other than

a list of family and their traits.

While backstory is also an important

part of an OC, many people decide not

to include such details on a sheet, and

prefer people to learn things through RP.

However, there is one family member

that drew my interest: Sora's younger

sister. Other than Sora's twin, the sister

is the only family member with art provided.

Comparing Sora to their sister, it's quite

predictable what's going on here. The

sister has ombre hair like Sora, but dark

blue instead of red. Sure enough, her

quirk is called Lunar Emission, and Sora's

is Solar Emission. Props to not giving the

twin the moon powers, but this is a

classic cliché that you can really do

without. Two siblings, one with light

powers and the other with dark powers.

Additionally, and this is less of an issue

considering quirks aren't strictly hereditary,

but relating children's quirks to their

parent's might help in thinking up

something more unique.
