Description
My baby girl has a lot of emotional issues that I'm trying to get her through... I'm gonna try to preserve her character, but realistically, she probably won't be the same. I didn't really have a concept of character development when I decided to throw her into the stockade and have her play a part in her father's death, minor as it was. So I didn't really consider the long lasting effect it would have on Marina. At least she'll have a year to really come to terms with what happened, so maybe she can try to be herself again. At the very least, she will hide her emotional issues behind a smile, avoid Blaize/Ranger, and refuse to talk about her father altogether. Kinda worried about overdoing the drama, too, but I've always been that person that likes to let my characters do what they want to. If Marina wants to be angry and blame herself for what happened, I don't see why I shouldn't let her. After all, she never had any friends or family to lean on the second she was separated from Chadwick and Matoi. She had to find a way to deal with her problems on her own.Also, I'm not very good at drawing it, but... Marina's frills flatten when she's sad or angry.
Lazy effects applied to a traditional sketch, that's all this is |D

That's essentially what I did with a character of mine that had gone through a lot. Ironically, just like Marina he was a super quirky/cheerful personality at first, but in figuring out his backstory for another RPG I ended up dumping a ton of angst on him |D
What I discovered was that as scarred as he was by everything that had happened, he still wanted to be cheerful and happy, but while it was a lot harder for him to feel that way now, he still insisted on being the cheerful person in his group of friends mostly for their sake. Eventually, once he was able to let out what was upsetting him, he was able to be more honest about the way he was feeling and work his way back to actually feeling cheery again. Not nearly as happy-go-lucky or naive as before, but still relatively happy and optimistic. I think it's perfectly possible for Marina to achieve the same thing.

Ah, I see! Might I ask who? :3
Yeah, that makes sense... and I was kinda thinking the same thing for her... Marina doesn't really want her siblings to know what she's been up to so... tries to be as cheerful and silly as possible... I still need to think about it (and defining the Temporal Preservation Agency is going to be rather helpful in that) but your comment has been really helpful in trying to envision her, so thank you, Sky :3

Ah- my human character, Inkato xD There aren't a whole lot of great memories from the tablestop campaign he was in, but there's still stuff I liked about the developing story-- even if it was never finished.
Unfortunately other than that dumb comic I'd done for him back on my old account, I never uploaded any of his rp's but tbh that's probably for the best lol
