From Samurai Shodown and wearing an outfit from Nakoruru: Ano Hito kara no Okurimono, it's Nakoruru's lil' sister, Rimururu! I first saw this outfit when going through the Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection gallery for SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters 2: Expand Edition and thought it looked really cute, but it turns out it was originally in the Nakoruru visual novel released a few months prior. It's a really cute look for her, and pretty different from some of her other outfits! Hopefully I caught the muted colour palette feel of the original art~

From Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, it's Dark Magician Girl! I won't lie to you, I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh! or anything at all. What I can tell you, though, is that Dark Magician Girl is cute, and I wanted to draw a cute magical girl, so that's how we ended up here. I'm sure that's not a problem, right?

From Touhou Koumakyou ~ The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, it's Flandre Scarlet! The younger of the vampiric Scarlet sisters, she's just looking for someone to play with. Problem is, she has the vaguely-defined and terrifying ability to just, uh, destroy anything. So she doesn't get many visitors. While most art of Flandre has her wearing Mary Jane-style shoes, when I was looking for reference pictures I saw this art of her by TOKIAME from Perfect Memento in Strictest Sense and noticed she had boots with cute socks / frills, so I went for those instead. Sometimes, it's nice to mix and match character designs for a long-running series like this, you know?

If you hear a low rumbling, that's me spinning wildly in excitement because this week's Arcade Archives release is Numan Athletics, so here's the star of the show, Sharon L'Halles of France in MS Paint form! Stay with her, OK? Never met anyone who didn't like Sharon, she's so good. Please play Numan Athletics!
