Rating your OCs (Danganronpa and others)

Lets take a look:

Uniqueness

So there's already an ultimate therapist in danganronpa,  I don't know if the OC creator knew this. But I couldn't see the character genuinely being in danganronpa for this reason. There also seem to be a lot of 5'2 danganronpa OCs. That being said, I think her design is extremely unique and there aren't many therapist OCs anywhere,  so for uniqueness I give a 6/10

Design (Visual)

I love her design, the spiked ankle bracelet especially! I love the mix of the "wholesome,  reading floral aesthetic" and the teenage emo aesthetic, after-all she is 15! So for design, I give 10/10!

Legitimacy (would it work?)

As mentioned previously there is already an ultimate therapist in danganronpa. Also, it clearly states that she became a therapist even though she's only 15- and even though danganronpa is all about high schoolers who are outstanding at what they do,  becoming a therapist takes many years- if she perhaps was already studying psychology, etc and an aspiring therapist, but I'm going to have to go off the information I have. However,  I feel like her design would fit right into the danganronpa franchise! For this section I give a 3/10

Personality

To be perfectly honest, her personality description doesn't have much info and is quite basic- which in some ways is good because if a story is filled completely with overwhelming characters,  it would be too much. You need some slightly basic characters to fill things out. So going off her personality alone, I could totally see her being a secondary character in a book. But another thing about the personality is that there are no negative traits. They're all positive except one, quiet,  which is neutral. When making a character you want to balance them out with negative and positive traits,  otherwise your character will be too perfect and not person-like or relatable in any way. For example,  maybe your character is completely kind-hearted and good- how do yoh balance this out? Well you could give them a number of traits that don't counter with this, for example,  being picky, or stubborn, or overly emotional or impulsive.
Take Makoto for example,  his whole character is about being hopeful but because of this, he is unrealistic and almost blind to truth. I give personality a 3/10

Backstory

My god am I grateful this isn't a cliche backstory such as where the mum dies and the dad becomes an alcoholic, or vise versa. There isn't much info on the backstory and it doesn't really explain what problems the mum was putting on her, but from what we have I think it makes sense as to why she became the "ultimate therapist" for backstory I give a 7/10

Other

I absolutely love the fact that she's a person of colour! You don't see much representation of that in OCs, and especially not in media. I believe the bunny called Bonnie, is also a reference to fnaf,  which I love! But,  for diversity alone I give this section a 10/10

Overall

This character is not bad at all and definitely has some strong points as well as some weak points. I'd say this character is a great base for a character that could work very well!
Overall,  I give this character a 6/10

Improvements I suggest making:
-Work on the back story and develop and explain it more. As well as changing it so she's an aspiring therapist but also very good at it (possibly changing it to something like Ultimate Counsellor or Ultimate Helping Hand or Ultimate listener instead) Also for the backstory, write about things other than her home life such as her friendship groups, how she was at school, other hobbies she has, why she has the fashion style she has,  etc.

-Adding a negative trait or two in the personality to balance things out! Try to add unique traits too

-Focus less on small details, such as the bunny or make the bunny a big detail, for example "Even though she would listen and helo others,  she felt like the only one listening to her was her bunny. So she would take her almost everywhere.... Plus more."
