BloodOSeverity asked Which character of yours do you relate most…

All of them! I can't really get into a character if I can't relate to them on some level, so all my OCs have a little bit of me in them.

Carey is the most blatant example - I draw from a lot of my own experiences writing her, and bits of her personality match up with mine (no filter, rambles a lot, needs to keep her hands occupied when talking, same sense of humor.)

Darla is relatable in that, in the in-character chatrooms, she presents herself as very silly and lively, but she's actually quite happy on her own and values her privacy. We also both tend to hold grudges and struggle with our inner demons.

Emily is relatable in a very personal way - she was incredibly sheltered and had everything done for her as a child, and so struggles a bit navigating the world as an adult. She shares my stims, and my childish temper / how I sometimes overcomplicate and oversimplify situations.

All my characters are exaggerations of my own traits, experiences or desires/dreams in some form.

I think it’d be Lunaria, she originally started off as a self insert and kinda evolved from there. A lot of her story came out of my own experiences and feelings towards certain topics/subjects. Her story use to be a fantasy twist on my own life experiences, so it typically helped me cope with rl problems by just having Lunaria combat them and win over them.

Mysteriously enough. None of them. Even though some characters started off or are based off of myself or some other aspect of myself, I don't find myself relating to any of them in any way shape or form.

Hmmm. I've never thought bout that, much!

I think honestly, it's several characters. First is my raven boy Phillip. Mainly because he's both an asshole a lot of the time, but also does care deep down. And that he's good in very specific things while being more middling in others.

Then there's my lizard girl, Ophelia. She knows a lot of stuff in general, but she's an absolute disaster. Can tell or find out for you the capitals of an ancient empire, but can't find her phone if she sets it down in a spot she doesn't usually. Also, she's bi. Though more aggressively bi I think than I am, lol.

Ooh, difficult question. I think I would have to say Chiyo. Expectations of me to fill a certain role took years to quash, but once I realised I'm happy with who I've become, others became happy for me too
