The source of it's name is "Original Character(s)", オリキャラ, which explains the large number of characters this fandom produced.

Kagitsuki (かぎつき) has short, yellow hair and wears a yellow dress with a keyhole icon and brown boots. True to her name, she is commonly depicted with a Key, which would seem to have served as the weapon effect by "locking" NPCs. Other effect ideas for Kagitsuki included a Doping effect, which would be have Kagitsuki take medicine and be used as a speed effect, a Cat Face effect, which would function similar to Yume Nikki's Cat effect and bring NPCs closer, and a cosmetic Chicken effect that would have her in a chicken costume.
