Scarlet

i joined fanimaid cafe 16 years ago to make friends.

i didn’t know people interested in cute anime stuff like i was (everyone else i knew watched hetalia or naruto 😭), but this was the one place i found to connect with others about moe culture and idols.

I didn’t join to become a role model (or intend to be here this long), so it’s always a happy surprise to hear people say that they look up to me or praise me for such things.

I’m also really hard on myself for that fact: how have other people not known i was a maid for this long? why have people who have been in my life who have gone on to be maids after me never reach out to me about it? I think the reality is that our goals in becoming maids have always been different. I can’t blame myself for not being known as THE idol maid when that’s not ever what i really set out to be or advertised, but more of something that happened along the way.

I’m just happy to be me, Scarlet, a maid who became an idol. A maid who has always loved cute things, and a maid who still has a place to come back to full of people i love who welcome me home. ❤️🎀
