Nudie Smoothie

Miyuki drinks a smoothie, and explains everything with an Excel spreadsheet.

Okay, not everything, just how she feels about public nudity. Now I don't typically lay things out like this for my own benefit, but I've done this so you can see the thinking here - people periodically ask about/comment on Miyuki's inconsistent attitudes toward people seeing her naked, and that's because circumstances in the world are inconsistent.

Now this will be interesting/useful to some of you, while others immediately began to feel drowsy when they saw the words "Excel Spreadsheet", so I've drawn a naked Miyuki for you (she's thematic). I may post the comic to DA, we'll see.

Additional notes:

Although she does get embarrassed, Miyuki is still far less modest than a typical young woman. She's always looking for an excuse to take her clothes off.

Miyuki is strong willed but often lacks common sense, so if she starts to do something while nude, she'll generally see it through instead of leaving to go put clothes on. While this could be something important, like rescuing Clarissa from the infamous Undead Vizier, it could also be something really mundane, like getting a smoothie. This is part of why, for instance, in the Aztec Irish Pub St. Patrick's Day comic, she's still at a crowded bar with Lyta, despite having lost her clothes. All of this tends to result in a move up the embarrass-o-tron scale.

As a ninja, Miyuki has been trained from childhood to have a keen sense of when she has an advantage over others and vice versa, this is valuable to know if you're planning ninja mayhem. This plays into this chart as well; she has no problem being nude around Lyta and Clarissa, for instance, but will be slightly more embarrassed if they're clothed, because she's aware they have her at a disadvantage. Nothing would come of it (unless it's St. Patrick's Day), but it's ingrained into her way of thinking.

Generally speaking, being taunted by enemies/rivals and being forced to strip will make Miyuki angry, and probably start a fight if she hasn't been restrained. While she's angry or involved in a fight, she'll forget her modesty completely, although she'll likely be embarrassed later when she thinks about that time she beat up five guys with her boobs hanging out.

As she moves her way up the embarrass-o-tron scale, Miyuki will react largely as you'd expect - more blushing, embarrassed body language, and attempts to cover her nudity with her hands. There can be outliers here as well, sometimes she'll be embarrassed at the thought of her own embarrassment (that feeling of disadvantage again) and so will purposely not cover up to try to reassert her self confidence (much like a cat will fall off a piece of furniture, and then glare at you like they're trying to convince you they meant to do that). Other times she'll cover up because she thinks she should - say she was skinnydipping in a lake, and spotted an abandoned Buddhist temple on an island, if she went to explore it she'd likely cover up even though she's alone, because it's a place of solemnity for her and she feels she should be clothed. Or at the end of the Selena's Visit comic Miyuki is partially covering up because she thinks that's what Lyta wants her to do.

I don't know if that covered everything, but if I left something out feel free to ask. Anyway, thanks for coming to my lecture.
