Do you have any fan kids with disabilities? If yes who are they and who is your favorite one of them

oh i have a TON! literally so many. you can honestly assume the majority, if not all, of my characters are neurodivergent in some way, though i'm not sure if that's what you mean by disabled, and as far as i know i haven't given any of them intellectual disabilities yet, but that may change in the future.

of the ones i've written profiles for, my favorite with a physical disability is Akiyuki Kajii, who is partially deaf. of the ones without profiles, Ivan "Vanya" Dostoevsky II was blinded by an antagonist character when he was eight and now uses a cane as well as his ability to navigate, he's one of fyodor and ivan's kids as his name suggests.

but there are lots of other disabled characters too! Yoshiko Kunikida has CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and hypersomnia and is one of the eight protagonists in the hateful eight

others with disabilities who have profiles include:

Anastasia Dostoevskaya, who has a scar on her face and lasting nerve damage in her face from where she was stabbed
Andrei Dostoevsky, who walks with a cane
Francis Rawlings Alcott-Armstrong, who uses a wheelchair
Fumiko Dazai, who has a massive burn scar on her face and upper torso and is a double amputee from an explosion when she was twelve, and also has permanent nerve damage and a speech disorder (which was present from birth, but got worse after the incident)
Hyakken Fukuzawa, who suffered a traumatic brain injury after his middle school teacher nearly beat him to death, and now at times suffers with on-and-off seizures (they're less common than they used to be, but can still happen) and chronic migraines, as well as other issues surrounding his trauma
Kodou Kajii, who is partially deaf like his adopted brother, Akiyuki, though for a different reason
Kurt Rawlings Alcott-Armstrong, who is mostly deaf and partially blind
Murasaki Nakajima-Akutagawa, who occasionally suffers with seizures as a side effect from how her previously-uncontrollable ability, Tale of Genji, would cause her to have seizures whenever it activated, and now sometimes has them as a result of the damage that caused, albeit to a lesser scale now and far less often
Shuusaku Dazai, who has Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CITP) and is unable to sweat or regulate his body temperature normally on his own
Takeshi Oda, who has schizophrenia as well as chronic pain issues starting later in life
Tatsuji Fukuzawa, who went blind in one eye due to natural causes as a child
Tatsuko Tanizaki, who also went blind in one eye due to natural causes as a child but loves telling people wild stories about "losing her eye" when in actuality the eye is still very much present under her eyepatch, she just likes to be silly
Tsutomu Fukuzawa, who has severe anemia, chronic vitamin deficiencies, chronic pain, and is prone to fainting spells, especially when on his period due to the anemia combined with bleeding heavily for idiopathic reasons (this is genetic and comes from Mori)
Yoshihiro Fukuzawa, who is eventually diagnosed with PCOS after entering puberty, and also has a service dog, Riki (whose profile is listed alongside theirs) starting when they're about five due to the severity of their autism symptoms (namely, they were prone to meltdowns due to overstimulation, which happened very easily) and anxiety nearly causing them to become homebound; the anxiety stemmed from separation anxiety from their parents, but when Riki was brought into the family, Yoshi bonded with him quickly, and found that their symptoms were easier to navigate and manage with Riki at their side; Yoshi also has selective mutism and will almost always prefer to speak using JSL rather than with their mouth
Yuriko Fukuzawa has BPD that was severe enough to get diagnosed at a young age
