It’s been over a year since I did part one of this series. I really didn’t think it’d take this long for me to get around to the second part, but here we are. Cocotte’s not really a rookie in the Studio anymore, but this series takes place back when she was. ^_^ At any rate, I hope to get to part three sometime before another full year passes, but we’ll see. Things tend to come up and get in the way, and I always have a full plate these days.
So the answer portion of this Ask is kinda… I dunno, it’s not much of anything. Really I just wanted to draw Cocotte and Zangya again (though I still need to find the time for Cocotte’s Orientation, Part Two), so that’s what we’ve got here. I hope everyone enjoys seeing this pairing again. ^_^
So, like Zangya mentioned, I kinda see the “Studio” version of her as someone trying to start over after an abusive/tragic past. We don’t know much about what her life with Bojack was like, but given how it ended we can assume it wasn’t great. Studio Zangya is someone who takes a lot of pleasure from her new life of freedom and fun, and I definitely read her as someone who enjoys being on top/in control (as we’ve seen in her relationship with Gohan). Cocotte, on the other hand, doesn’t have those regrets and doubts from her old life. Since she comes from a sort of pseudo-military group, it makes sense to me she’d be used to and comfortable with surrendering control to a commanding officer. So here we are. ^_^
Also, here’s the Q&A video I did last month, if anyone’s interested:
