hello anon! tysm for the question c: sure thing!

chihiro is another one im not entirely confident on... the way he speaks in japanese is easy to analyze, but i think i lack the proper creativity to fully translate it over to english if that makes sense kUHRJGF

so its pretty clear that chihiro talks like a gyaru! at times excessively so, where he almost makes up words and uses gyaru slang WAY too often, for comedic effect + bc hes overcompensating for his chii persona. when hes speaking as chihiro (and not chii), he doesnt really use a lot of gyaru slang but he still similarly speaks with a casual and friendly tone

so for me the largest note i have for my interpretation of chihiro is to avoid using modern slang words as much as i can. i try to use older slang from the 90s and 2000s, like "the bomb dot com" and "totes magotes" and "wicked" because... thats what hes into and what he uses in japanese! i do use SOME modern slang for him, like "pop off" and "cutieful" but i generally try to hold back on those. youve noticed i also make him say text lingo out loud, like O-M-G and bee-tee-dubs

really though the mindset i have in mind for chihiro is just "make him sound like a 2000s valley girl" KJEHRTGDF so i do things like make him use "like" excessively (ex. "Ohh, so, like, I’ve got over a million followers, right? So I guess my job around here is to improve the prison’s image or something? It’s, like, a special job just for me.") and making him use words like literally, totally/totes, super/supes, etc etc really often

thats ^ all for his chii persona though! when he speaks as chihiro its just kinda that but way toned down akljrstidgkf
