spoiler alert, it focuses a lot on allison abbott's incineration and kichiro's grieving process.
in summary, kichiro makes new friends, new old friends, and friendly foes. she also has a new makeover inspired by allison's grunge style and the japanese female biker gangs.
since this is largely about her personal life, i would like to rearrange the content on her page to:
PERSONAL LIFE
the full entry can be found here
Added a small comment/request to the doc. Nothing hugely affecting anything I hope. :)
oops i changed my mind. i would like to rearrange the content to this:
so all of kichiro's lore can be on the same page! the full visual can be seen here
i was so caught up in rearranging the page, i forgot to read the prime lore until now alfkjalfdja im so sorry
kichiro prime lore is raising some Don't Be Weird About Japan flags for me (anime, yaoicon, magical girl transformations). the tokyo lift representatives put together this infographic on DBWAJ with dos and don'ts. this is why im getting these vibes.
i think this went unnoticed for so long because the kichiro prime lore was hosted on a separate page (it is linked on the page, but kichiro prime has been irrelevant since season four)
i also noticed that "she/they" is listed under kichiro's pronouns but only the kichiro prime sections used they/them pronouns while alt kichiro used she/her pronouns. was "she/they" meant to note the difference between the two or do both kichiro prime and alt kichiro use she/they (and it just wasn't demonstrated well in the wiki writing).
if it's the latter, i definitely want to rewrite the worms add-on to reflect that.
Update: We've made changes (linked below for transparency due to the nature of this discussion) to remove the DBWAJ vibes while still maintaining the geeky nature of the story we wished to tell by paralleling Kichiro Prime's life to a narrative you would find in a superhero story.
As for pronouns, upon discussion nobody had mentioned any strong opinions one way or the other, and we felt due to the Worms being handed the player and now the Mills, best that we not pursue a complicated story surrounding gender expression and the multiverse and have incorporated some she/her pronouns amidst the they/them pronouns.
That said, if either team feels there is a good story to be told here and self-expression and want to do a "Kichiro Prime presented non-binary but Alternate Kichiro did not or has not, yet" story. We are in support of seeing that concept explored.

Alrighty! Now that we have the complete lore, I'll be updating Kichiro's page to organize her lore like this:
