I initially never really had an "OC" (original character). I thought I wasn't creative enough to even have one, as I was strictly a semi-realistic artist & deeply insecure (lol chill). I believe it was the summer of 2024 i got a massive headache that turned into an obscene amount of pain to my wrists which then turned into a 2 yr battle of trying to regain my sense of autonomy as it would spread to all parts of my body (thighs, legs, back, knees, arms, wrists, fingers) I struggled to walk, Eat, go down the stairs, use the bathroom and take a shower without the help of my mother or boyfriend. While simultaneously forcing myself to go to work/school to feel like I had control. I lost all sense of my identity, so it was safe to say I was deeply miserable. In that misery, I would isolate myself & write in my diary. In between the suicidal ideation & the pleading to the gods I struggled to believe in, she would randomly show up, and she was one of the few things that really got me through that mess. Drawing her felt like I had some sort of control, so she follows me everywhere now. Anywhere I go, she will be around me, for I love her, and how miserable she is. She is now the face of my art brand, and she lingers around my room forever. I do talk about my chronic pain a bit more in depth in this YouTube video i made here click here click ME this sentence right now right here lol
