## Description
It's hard to care for cute girls who hate to eat. 

[From [itch.io](https://ophanimkei.itch.io/what-is-it-like-to-taste)]

## Characters
### Emma
Tarot: The Moon
Music Genre: Chiptunes, anime soundtracks, yuri imagery
Likes: Aiyana, dressing up Aiyana, cooking for Aiyana, cartoons
Dislikes: Strangers, having information kept from her, physical contact with people other than Aiyana

Emma was programmed as a university project by a girl named Calliope, 
leaving her a bit quirky. She's inspired by retro anime catgirls 
and has a personality that is meant to be easily approachable.

Doesn't really understand sex or sex appeal, but finds it to be an 
interesting part of the human experience. She thinks about 
it more than the average robot because of all of the 
pornography in Aiyana's house.

Would like to travel with Aiyana and help her more out in the world. 
Will probably make Aiyana to go on the train eventually.

On the back of her neck, the word EMA is written. She is unaware of this.

### Aiyana Brown
Tarot: The Hermit
Music Genre: Vocaloid, EDM, Maidcore
Likes: Doujinshi, erotica, being taken care of
Dislikes: Public arguments, structured jobs, psychology students

Aiyana dislikes socializing because her lack of understanding of societal structures 
always causes her to experience humiliation, distress, or participate in relationships 
that leave her with negative feelings.
                
She sorts out her thoughts methodically, trying to write most of them down. 
She encourages others to do the same. 
She communicated with her mother through notes often.

Dislikes when someone assumes how she's feeling. Experiences alexithymia. 
Really likes Adelaide post college because she is such an empathetic and blunt person. 
Same with Eva.

### Adelaide
Tarot: The Hierophant
Music Genre: Angry female hip hop, orchestral movie tracks
Likes: Cake, cute house decor, small animals
Dislikes: Pop up visits, surprise parties, insecure people

Adelaide experiences a lot of insecurity but is very good at hiding it. 
She's especially insecure about how intensely she feels her emotions. 
This leads to her avoiding getting close to others.
            
Gets overwhelmed fairly easily but this is because she has
an emotionally exhausting job and social mask. Tends to 
be irritable around friends because she is so tired.

Gets worked up fairly easily and will engage in fights if pushed, 
though it is much harder to provoke her now that she is older. 
She fought with people who spoke poorly of Aiyana in high school.

### Calliope
Tarot: The Magician
Music Genre: Visual kei, idol pop, noise
Likes: Cute girls, mentally ill girls, spoiling people, dark humor
Dislikes: Death, people who are too serious, being abandoned

Calliope is the lead programmer for Emma and is likely credited
for a lot of advanced robot programs on her planet. She feels bad 
taking credit for this as she was inspired by work of past programmers.

She's a very sweet person, but she also says a lot of bizarre things
that make people uncomfortable. Calliope can be rather flippant 
and doesn't have a strong moral compass. 

In college, she ran around with a lot of other lolita trans girls. 
She dragged Adelaide into her friend group. She misses Adelaide a lot, 
along with everyone from back then.

### Evangeline
Tarot: The Fool
Music Genre: Visual Kei, Breakcore, R&B
Likes: Games of all types, housework, older women
Dislikes: Working, being pressured to pursue academia, computers

Eva loves the small town lifestyle. She doesn't care
if people think she's heading nowhere fast. She believe she'll
always be able to fallback on family and friends in the end. Everyone
needs a handy butch around.

Doesn't really over analyze people and tries to go off of what she sees
with her eyes. Not very gifted academically, but she is the most
socially intelligent of the cast.

Many people in Eva's town are aware of her existence because 
she does so much random work. Some are concerned about 
her relationship with Adelaide due to the age difference, but 
Eva laughs and calls her a 'prey bunny princess.'
