Can you tell us a bit about the relationship between your characters?

Cupid and Shanako are two very different personalities! Shanako, despite how scary she looks to some is a very kind hearted soul if not a bit goofy. Think 2018 shera's Adora! While Cupid is a very anxious and reclusive soul.

If I'm to be honest...the two of them are very mentally ill individuals that's dressed up to look pretty. Helps me cope with my mental and physical health a ton!

Cupid is very anxious and afraid of the world around her, she grew up very sheltered and very afraid of the outside world. When her kingdom was taken and the whereabouts of her family being unknown, Cupid has to someone learn to live on her own. Cupid, like myself has autism.

Shanako is a survivor of an abusive relationship, and holds a lot of trauma because of it. She's very protective of Cupid, in a sometimes restrictive way even, because she's afraid to see her be hurt by a society that really frowns upon her. Draconic vs Angelic cultures are super different, so they don't mix very well.

Cupids very kind and gentle, and Shanako isn't used to that at all. While Cupid isn't used to having to function without her family, and has to learn to adjust to change rather than avoid it all. The two help heal one another and learn to navigate the world together in a "it'll all turn out okay in the end" type of way :)
