Description
Although Maricela is the shy and quiet girl, I at least want to add a bit of sass and sarcasm to her character. So, I was inspired by none other than Wednesday Addams, one of the sassiest and sarcastic fictional characters out there. I didn't want to use the exact quotes from Wednesday; I wanted to come up with original quotes for Maricela that would have a Wednesday-ish appeal to it. Maricela says her quotes both in Spanish and English; here she's saying "You want me to be happy? Isn't this happy enough for you?"Also, I think I should leave Maricela's hair black instead of silver with this outfit. I think it looks better that way.

You should do more Gothic artwork like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands. You have the colour scheme. Lots of purple and black. I wrote some poems about a fictional Gothic band called The Gloomy Kids. Do you like The Cure or Siouxsie and The Banshees?

Are you saying that I should draw Beetlejuice and
Edward Scissorhands, or artwork similar to those movies?
I only usually draw ocs, so I just want you to clarify what you mean.
I've heard of all three bands, but I don't listen to their music.

If you only do OC artwork you could create your own Gothic characters. Use influences such as Winona Ryder and Hotel Transylvania. It would be both amusing and scary if you did your own vampire character. I think you are borderline Gothic. The Gloomy Kids are fictional. I created the band concept myself. You are very talented.

Thank you.
I already am creating my own characters, though.
They're the ones you're looking at. They're my own characters.

I know that. I am suggesting you create more Gothic characters. Maybe create your own Gothic band and draw each member.
Here is a link to the Dear Prudence video. You may like it.

Oh, gotcha!Β
The idea sounds interesting; I'll consider it! ^^
Yes, I actually did like that song! And it's an 80s song,
so I liked it even more.

Your latest Marciela piece is going down well. The darker side can be more attractive. Here is another video. Just Like Heaven by The Cure. Imagine your Goth band with these hairstyles.

I hope you draw more Gothic characters in the future. I think if you created a vampire character you would get a huge response. You have a distinctive style.

Thank you. I've heard that song, actually.
It comes on the radio a lot. XD
I honestly don't like vampires,
but I have thought of drawing a vampire
friend for Maricela, or an alien friend,
since Maricela and her sisters are part-alien.

I like that idea. Marciela is a good character. How do I check her background story? What sort of alien is she? I hope you go ahead with the vampire friend option. Good luck!

Thank you very much! :3
Well, let's see. First of all, if you're interested in knowing how Maricela and her
sisters are part alien, you'll have to read this story:
The Story of LaReina Barrera
Also, Maricela wasn't a goth/emo girl at the beginning;
this is her original design:
Barrera Triplets
Triplet Trouble
The Star
But as I further developed her character, she became
the character she is now:
La Nina Melancolica
Maricela Before and After
Here are pictures of her 15-year-old self:

A lot of her pictures are also in my main gallery.

Oh my god, I was Wednesday Addams for Halloween I'm not even joking lmao

Cool!
If I could, I'd dress up like her all the time.

Lmao thats me in reals. I dont smile at all. I got a poker face and so people cannot tell IfΒ I'm happy or angry π Its a crappy habit I got.Β

I wouldn't consider it crappy.
I'd use that to my advantage. XD

Sometimes it's better to let yourself deal with whatever feelings you have instead of trying to force yourself to be happy all the time. If you put the expectation on yourself to be happy it just makes it worse when you have a bad day. It's better to observe your emotions without judging them and use them as a chance to learn

What exactly are you talking about?
The picture isn't meant to be serious.

I was piggybacking on the comment about being told to smile, my bad
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, alright. My bad, too.

[I donβt blame Maricela, here; I used to be asked to smile quite a bit. Happiness is a good thing, but a forced smile is never as good as a genuine one. We canβt always act cheerful, and Iβve been accused of frowning too much. I donβt mean to come across as angry; Iβm just trying be neutral.]

I remember back in high school when the busΒ
driver lady asked me to smile because it would make
her feel better. She was a nice person, but I agree with
you when people shouldn't force a smile.Β
Haha, yeah, I get that, too. I'll be deep in thought
about something, which makes my face look angry, I guess,
and people will ask if I'm mad. XD

[I guess you could say I have βresting b-faceβ.]
π: 0 β©: 1
I have to admit that's my favorite face. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
[So, you'd say you have that expression too?]
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, yeah.
Sometimes I'm unaware that I'm doing it.
π: 0 β©: 1
[Same here. Apparently, there's a lot of stuff I do without thinking about it. I've been accused of rolling my eyes before, even though I swear I didn't do it.]
π: 0 β©: 1
That happens to me, too, butΒ
I grind my teeth sometimes without
knowing, and I won't notice until my brother
mimics the sound it apparently makes. XD

Seriously, have you seen the Original Ruby Gloom artwork?
I mean, the art that was made before the TV show?
Because this is JUST like it, with the original melancholy feeling of it
AND I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I don't think I have.
If I have, I don't remember. :/
π: 0 β©: 1
Can I send you some?
I have plenty of it saved
π: 0 β©: 1
Ohh yes, she and Frostine would DEFINITELY get along~ XD
π: 0 β©: 1
How old is Maricela? I wonder how the two of them would meet?
π: 0 β©: 1
This version of her is 5.
The older version of her is 15.
π: 0 β©: 2
Does Maricela like sweets? Maybe she could encounter Frostine at a bakery or otherwise some kind of sweet shoppe.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm, when it comes to sweets, she mostly prefers
chocolate cake or doughnuts. She also likes hot chocolate.
She doesn't go out much, but if she did, she'd try to find
a cozy cafe to go to while she eats and reads.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh, she's a reader too? Another thing she and Frostine have in common! XD
The cooking club sometimes does bake sales in front of her school. Would that interest Maricela at all?
π: 0 β©: 1
Cool!
Haha, no, not really, cuz Maricela doesn't go to school. XD
She graduated college at 9. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Ohh, gotcha. She's a super-genius, too?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup! You got it! ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Neato! Goth geniuses are rare.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, Maricela considers herself emo,
but yeah, you're right. They are pretty rare.
π: 0 β©: 1
Frostine's pretty smart for an 11-year-old, but nowhere near on Maricela's level. Not sure what she'll do for a career once she gets older, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, Maricela's not sure, either. :/
π: 0 β©: 1
Mhm. So anyway, how have you been?
