So You've Become a Villainess: an (Otome) Isekai Raising Project

I like the date as someone born on 1X/1X Month day myself I do like it because it's easy to remember. If it wasn't for the summer energy appeal to me I'd have gone for that.
The reason I picked it, though, is because it is a (semi-) official Strongest Baka Day.

E: Your prize for winning the game is the chance to go back home and not be dead. Winning the game "as yourself" means winning the game with Kid A in Grace's body. Chiaki's your guardian angel pretty much.
Does Cheech get to come with? Otherwise what's the point? We are one of the most powerful people in the country potentially engaged to a prince or (assuming we have won) an honest-to-god fairytale heroine with the world at our feet. While back home the most we have going for us is, let me check...
lol indeed.

"oung Mistress, it's time to get up." The voice was more insistent now.
Something may be missing there: either the first letter or, if she still hasn't fully woken up, the em dash.
<Sensible> Noblewomen can't just go off and run off! Besides, everyone will be watching more closely with our head injury.
I beg to differ! In That Other Quest we ran away from home so many times our parents executed several people for alleged kidnapping plots. Some of them were even guilty!
<Sensible> "Perhaps work smarter not harder?"
I always said Brainy was unnecessary. See, she is half out of a job already!
...and I am starting to dislike Sensible. You are cheering for the boring choices, head-friend. And then you have the gall to rub it in our face!
<Sensible> "Good decision. We should play along with the scenario while we get our bearings."
You are next on the chopping block! Sporty & Flashy & Artsty playthrough, here we come!

[x] Exercise (Sporty++, Flashy-)

:p I enjoy the react quote treatment thanks.

:V Actually if I could ask for us to socialize. I've got a fun omake in mind regardless of the results of the outcome. Essentially a misunderstand field moment with Aachan taking the wrong conclusion of etiquette from her helpful maid's lessons. it's even funnier if we botch, but I've got an idea even if we succeed.

Now you're thinking like a modern isekai reader :V

You could potentially convince Chiaki to reincarnate back home with you, just like you could play Fantasy Rainbow Six with Lily Valentine. It all comes down to how you play and if you think a boring, but steady life is more tantalizing than a rich life that's a few bad choices from turning into the opening scene of Kill Bill Volume 1.

<Sensible> "Someone has to be the boring one. Boring keeps us grounded. Boring keeps us from hurting ourselves."

<Sensible> "... ... ..."

<Sensible> "I would like to cut loose though, just a little. Only a little!"

<Sensible> *Studies how to talk to people* I-it'd be preferable if we could goof off and have fun without our lives being in danger but Chiake is depending on us! We found each other again, dare we risk that again?

I just don't want to be separated from her again.

<Emo> ...

<Sensible> *sensing she's losing her audience* We can party hard after we get our happy ending! That way we make sure to get it okay?

Ah, but not being boring gets you grounded. If it's all the same in the end, why not live a little? Er, I mean, live a lot. Unless we become a vampire, then it'd be... "unlive a lot"? But they are called undead, not unalive, so "undie a lot"?

Don't you stare at me like that, Brainy, I can perfectly articulate myself without your compensa-- condensa-- your attitude!

No she's not. She is an accomplished adult who leads a fully self-sufficent life and has a stable paycheck in one of the richest households in the kingdom.
Meanwhile we are a 12 year old brat who can't get dressed without her help.
and were falling apart without her even before that
I'd say the complete opposite is true.

On an unrelated note, why are our Avatar Grades for Sensible and Sporty equal despite a huge difference in Actualization scores? The difference is bigger than some of our actual stats! What are the ranges?

…Hrrrm. I find it interesting that creative AND Artistic are two separate stats, but since I'm not familiar with the media the OP mentioned as starting points, I'm going to have to watch and see how all that unfolds.

In the preliminary drafts, Artsy was Weird (and Sensible was Boring), so that's part of it. :V

Actualization Scores are on an increasing curve after Average -> Good. Normally, starting Actualization Scores would top out at 60, but there was a hidden boost with Sporty girl + Full effort, Full throttle that put Kid A on the threshold to greatness.

The Actualization thresholds for each grade are as such:

200: Legendary
150: Nigh-Legendary
100: Great
50: Good
40: Average
30: Below Average
20: Endangered
10: Critical

***
Dress-up Auto-success! +2 Flashy, -1 Brainy.
***​

Frilly dress acquired and closet sufficiently dug through, you dash into the expansive halls of Claudius Manor.

Rich velvet banners hang from the wall like soldiers in formation. Each has the family's crest woven in spun gold; a lion and dragon above seven crowns. You remember from the games that meant the Claudius family stood above all other nobility. Yours were kingmakers, dragon slayers, direct descendants of the God-Imperatrix that tamed these lands before Sophia's order.

It meant you, well Grace, were kind of a big deal. It also explained why Grace was such a jerk: put the blood of the First Hero in you and try not to turn into Gilgamesh.

As far as you could tell, in all ways but physical you were still Kid A, so you hoped you didn't have to worry about that. You had more pressing concerns, like how awkward it was to run in the little red heels you decided on with this ensemble. The frills were fine, you were used to hiking up frilly skirts to make a mad dash for the last train or bus back home from a con. But these heels and your stubby legs were throwing off your running form.

<Sporty> "If these heels throw off your from, you should throw them off instead!"

"Good idea, me!" You kick off your heels with a jump and a whoop, almost cry for joy with the feeling of freedom.

You hear two cries: one male, one female, and wonder where the guy voice in your head came from.

You open your eyes and see two kids with shoe prints on their faces. A handsome, fair-skinned boy and a chubby-cheeked, lightly tanned girl. It's Prince Alteisen and his sister, Bridgette.

<Sensible> "Aheh, that might have made a poor impression..."

<Emo> "The shoe'll be on the other foot soon. And by shoe I mean boot. And by 'the other foot' I mean on your face."

"Young Mistress!" Chiaki finally catches up with you. You're faster than her even in kid form. "Young Mistress, you..."

You give Chiaki an apologetic shrug.

Prince Alteisen gives you a droll look and a long, dragging facepalm. When he's done, his face is a smiling, bland mask.

"Hello Miss Autumn," he says to Chiaki. "I see Lady Claudius has more than made a full recovery."

Chiaki curtsies deeply, head unbowed. "A thousand pardons, Prince Alteisen."

"It's fine," Prince Alteisen says, dusting imaginary dirt off his white military uniform. "It was my inability to control my horse that led to Lady Claudius's incident." He gives you a cheeky little smile. "The Claudius family motto is 'Pay Back Tenfold' after all. I should steel myself for greater retaliation."

Bridgette tears a mobility slit in her blue and white Alice dress and takes an old-fashioned boxing stance in front of her brother. "She's gonna hafta get past me first!"

Prince Alteisen sighs. "What happened to being more ladylike, sister dear?"

I love the integration of the omake into this. Thanks for that.

I want to know more about the God-Imperatrix. Makes me think of Sol Invictus the Unconquerable Sun from Exalted.

I can hear Sensible crying out in alarm at this idea.

"Good idea, me!" You kick off your heels with a jump and a whoop, almost cry for joy with the feeling of freedom.
You can put the Genki girl in the dress, but you can't take the genki girl out of it.

I had the distinct feeling we'd fail this.​

You open your eyes and see two kids with shoe prints on their faces. A handsome, fair-skinned boy and a chubby-cheeked, lightly tanned girl. It's Prince Alteisen and his sister, Bridgette.

<Sensible> "Aheh, that might have made a poor impression..."

<Emo> "The shoe'll be on the other foot soon. And by shoe I mean boot. And by 'the other foot' I mean on your face."
Emo chan has the perfect set up for a 1984 reference right there. "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever"

"Young Mistress!" Chiaki finally catches up with you. You're faster than her even in kid form. "Young Mistress, you..."
I imagine long suffering there from it.

Prince Alteisen gives you a droll look and a long, dragging facepalm. When he's done, his face is a smiling, bland mask.
Is it amusing that this is probably IC for us somehow?

"It's fine," Prince Alteisen says, dusting imaginary dirt off his white military uniform. "It was my inability to control my horse that led to Lady Claudius's incident." He gives you a cheeky little smile. "The Claudius family motto is 'Pay Back Tenfold' after all. I should steel myself for greater retaliation."
Lol he probably thinks we did that on person.

Bridgette tears a mobility slit in her blue and white Alice dress and takes an old-fashioned boxing stance in front of her brother. "She's gonna hafta get past me first!"

Prince Alteisen sighs. "What happened to being more ladylike, sister dear?"

[How do you respond?]
[ ] Put up your dukes. (Sporty+, Flashy+, Brainy-)
"Oh no, there are two of them," Prince Alteisen sighs.
