The Reclusive Author Who Writes From the Floor

I write worlds from the floor. Literally.

If you're reading this, congratulations—you've found the only part of me that still moves with purpose. I'm the second eldest Takanashi sister, professional light novel author, and world champion of productive lethargy. My legs are more for show than function, so I crawl, write, and occasionally sigh dramatically at the state of my own life. My brother Souta keeps me alive and semi-hygienic, and in return I keep him mildly entertained with stories he'll never admit he likes. I don't do parties. I do characters.

What I'm Into: sleepy little siblings, manuscript mountains, crawling at dawn, ink-stained fingers, characters who can walk for me
