CaraPrincess

CaraPrincess (born May 26, 2007) is a Vietnamese doujinshi artist, video game designer and musician. She also is the sole member of her own indie game development circle, Akira Akagi Games.

Early life
Born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on May 26, 2007, the same date as actor Al Jolson, astronaut Sally Ride, and actor and animator Matt Stone, to a normal family, CaraPrincess is the youngest child in the family, and her brother, born March 10, 2003, is currently having the obsession over basketball. CaraPrincess stated that she does not remember much of her early life, despite she remembers some of it; the first include an accident where she bumped her head, and the death of her maternal grandfather when she was about 7. She attended two primary schools, but was dropped out two times: The first being in second grade, while the second is in the end of fifth grade, where she was dropped out due to misbehaviour.

She then attends a bi-lingual secondary-to-high school school, where fees are exceeding a whopping amount of 20 million VND, which put a pressure to both her parents. There, she has misbehaved several times, and was suspended once due to watching Hugtto PreCure! in the IT room, which her friends mistaken for a hentai anime due to the transformation sequences of the series. She clearly stated that is not a hentai work, despite a classmate of her assumes that was a hentai, due to the breast closeup during the said transformation sequence.

During 8th grade, after exposure to Undertale and Deltarune, she decided to make a game series that she created herself, influenced by these games. She tried out some "good" game engines, but most of the attempts at using them failed, due to technical issues, personal issues, or financial issues. She then settle down on the RPG Maker engine, which cost is affordable for her, and is easy to use. But the production of the first game, Dæmonic Affright, then a part of the abandoned Claire: Chronicles of the Carmine Blood project, is suspended for a month due to her misbehaviour at school. Game production resumes in early December.

Personal life
She is an atheist. Born to a Buddhist family, she at first have no sense of religion, but after realizing the "bugs" of orthodox religious beliefs, she quickly became an atheist at some point near the end of her time in primary school, with her first atheist beliefs based on modern technology. In late 2019, after the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield, she quickly admire the appearance of the character Allister, who is a Ghost-type Gym Leader, which she describes as "horaawaii", a combination of "horaa" (Japanese for "horror"), and "kawaii" (Japanese for "cute"), which could means "horror cuteness". Then she created a parody religion called the Cult of Allister, centering around the said character, and become its "follower" and self-proclaimed "High Priestess". The beliefs of this religion blends animism and beliefs in ghosts, which is, claimed by CaraPrincess herself, the most primitive and original of "orthodox" religious beliefs. She also coined the term "Oni-kun", which is a nickname of the character Allister that she created, in order to avoid mentioning "Onion", his Japanese name and also the word for an actual vegetable, and to avoid blasphemy in the religion, which the blasphemy laws for this religion are created by herself.

Her sexual orientation is heterosexual, and as a part of her romantic relationships, she will ask her love interest (always a male) to turn their backs to her and let her check if there's a switch on their back, if there's any (in her own perception), she will "flip" it, and said openly that the person is the kind of person she likes. This is a reference to Mettaton EX's battle in Undertale, in which before Mettaton transforms into his EX form, he will turn his back to the player and let them flip his switch, allowing him to transform into his EX form, a form which appearance is deemed by CaraPrincess herself as "quintessential" for all people who she deems as a love interest. This also spawns her own meme about the relation between anime "relationshipping" and Mettaton EX: If a female anime character encounters Mettaton, she will ask him to turn his back and then flips the switch, turning him to Mettaton EX, and then fell in love with his appearance (this feeling of love is dubbed by CaraPrincess as "homunkurusu netsuai" (人造人間熱愛, lit. "Mad Love with an Android")), and willing to be his girlfriend, starting a romantic relationship with rave parties and karaoke being a common occurence in their relationship.

She then confirmed that she believes to be suffering from ADHD or ADD, as suggested (presumably) by her psychological tutor, weak physical health and is reccomended to do calisthenics following a set routine. She explained that whatever her mental disorder is, it is sure that she has difficulty on paying attention to a particular subject, so that might explains what happened during her first few months of game development career, which she shuffles between several game engines for making her game, before ending up using RPG Maker.
