This is a chibi that was done for me by Yamer over at her Fiverr page.
This one is a throwback to one of my favorite animes, R.O.D. the TV, what makes this such a refreshing anime is that the women aren’t all bouncy and high energy like a bunch of ADD kids on a combination of crack and sugar. Instead they seem to act at a rather even pace in terms of behavior.
This particular character, Nenene Sumerigawa, is a novelist who has a connection with the original series protagonist, Yomiko Readman. But all that is revealed later on. But what I find most admirable about her is that she has a certain grit to her. Such as, there was a situation in which she was on a plane being taken hostage by an armed gunman who was a failed author and in a fit of annoyance she raised her middle finger to him and then stuck her finger into the barrel of his gun and said in his face, “I am nothing like you. Because to me there’s nothing more pathetic than a hack like you.”
Compare this to a lot of other anime women who are either overpowered fighters (i.e. Erza from “Fairy Tail”) or the kind that stand on the sidelines continually calling out the names of the male fighters (i.e. Sakura from “Naruto”).
