This article compares the design of female characters in Valorant with other games, highlighting its more inclusive and diverse approach that avoids hypersexualized stereotypes. It also explores the psychological reasons behind creating Original Characters (OCs), such as expressing emotions, projecting an ideal self, or coping with unmet needs. Through simple visual experiments, the study shows that self-exploration is accessible, and the unique arrangements of images, similar to MBTI results, reveal individual differences more intuitively. OC creation becomes a reflective and emotional tool for understanding and expressing the self.
