Status: Perpetual
Twins on a journey to witness the lives of others. The journey is the destination.
My oldest OCs ever and closest to my heart. Kaia has gone through a million redesigns but she is thriving now (I hope). Unfortunately they are both my comfort and vent OCs, they receive equal parts of pain and happiness from me.
Characters
Aozora Kaia
As a pure ball of sunshine, Kaia’s job is to drag Kaito everywhere and see all the things!
History
Kaia is one of my oldest OCs. Given a couple more years, she would probably be legal to drink most places… which means she has aged up with me and gone through a myriad of redesigns over the years. Her happy disposition generally hasn’t changed, except for a phase when I was fleshing out her current background.
She was originally a sona for me, but eventually both she and I grew separate from each other. I’m happy that she is thriving now, even if I give her pain sometimes.
Kaia is actually younger than Kaito by 2 years and 6 months (huh, where have you seen those numbers before wink wink), but I thought it would be funny for her to be the older twin.
Aozora Kaito
Kaito lets himself be pulled into Kaia’s adventures, content to witness the world in her eyes. This is literally his vacation arc.
History
Kaito is my oldest OC that I can remember. He is legal and he can drink in all countries as far as I’m aware. His general design hasn’t changed aside from aging up with me through the years. There was a phase where I tried to make him happier (and made him dance to Pon Pon Pon 💀) but that’s not for him I think. He wiped that era from memory.
Kaito was originally an OC that I created for a universe with a friend. I was a lot more invested in the universe, making a bunch of other side characters for it, and we had fun playing in that space. Unfortunately, I didn’t part amicably with that friend, so I ended up killing everyone except Kaito. He was named something different back then (lol).
Kaito was basically a self insert, and I felt bad that his world had died, so I kept him around as a reaper of some kind, witnessing other peoples’ lives. At some point he became a record keeper, living in an endless library that held all of my stories and dreams.
Kaito finally got his own story and background when I started drawing him and Kaia together. Some time later they became twins, and after fleshing out their story he is now happily (?) stressing over keeping Kaia alive.
Art
Every year I try to draw something for these two; recently this has taken the form of special art on their birthday. The fact that they’re still around (and old enough to drink lol) has made me more appreciative of my own life.
2019
This first one I drew for my own birthday. This was before Kaia became her own person, so this was mostly as a thank you from me to Kaito specifically.
2020
I made a LINE sticker set in 2020. It was my first time drawing all of the stickers for a whole set, and it took a long time, but it was a fun learning experience. I also got to use them as reactions to friends on LINE.
2021
They’ve gone through so much… The vacation arc officially starts with this reference.
2022
After a year of drawing emotes, I redid the LINE sticker set to make them more readable. This is also the year they got sillier.
2023
This was a big year for Anamnesis, not so big for the twins…
2024
All those years, and you're still here. You're still you. Thank you for being with me. Happy birthday.
Life seems to only get more and more stressful for me, so this was a thank you to both of them for bearing the brunt of my vent art.
2025
Between all of the projects, major life events, and commissions, I feel like I wasn’t able to draw the twins much this year. I hope they are happily adventuring away. Perhaps I’ll document some of their adventures here one day.
