GAH-- Jfc you scared me!! Hi!! :D!!!!

This ask was sent in as a part of this ask game, where if you send me an ask with "!!", I will reply with an infodump about one of my ocs! I currently have no other requests and--... (turns to count)... 15 more ocs to go wild about. This doesn't include stuff about my worlds and magic systems, which I would also be more than happy to share!

So if you like what you see here and want to learn more about the lil blorlos in my head, feel free to send in an ask! I want it. I want you to. I know you want it too. Do it. You won't. No balls. (Expect me to take a few weeks tho- I'm not fast at all lmfao)

Now- don't get me wrong, I've been so fucking hype while typing this all out! But I might've also been procrastinating this out of fear of what people might think...

I think I have found the solution though!

...

(Heehoos away)

Introducing: Mist!

My beloved immortal, my first whumpee before I even knew what whump was, and easily one of my more powerful characters (though she has been nerfed and fiddled with quite a lot over the years).

She started out like many people's first characters do; as an overpowered self insert with a red/blue heterochromia because "oH nO!! oNe HalF iS EVIL aND iS oNlY mUrDeR!!!" (No shame to the people who have characters like that btw! That's not a bad thing! It's just something that I feel is difficult to write correctly, and I was definitely not able to do that lmfao).

Not only that, but I was a Warrior's kid growing up. Her original name was Miststar, and I decided that she was somehow the leader of Starclan. Yeah... I never solved the plothole of how or why a human would become a cat god besides just- dying in the area lmao.

I have kept many of the original things about her though, like her telepathy, the immortality, the "evil half" (who gets lightly mentioned in the backstory, and who I'll introduce next if I ever get more of these 👀), and even being a demi-god (technically). But I have definitely toned everything wayyyyyy down throughout the years, and I'm still messing around with her to this day.

As for today, Mist now feels (to me) like a humanized character who has been given a life of magic and power, where she still struggles with relatable experiences despite that (like Sabrina The Teenage Witch or Bewitched). And there's no demons that live in her head to occasionally possess her and murder everyone for no reason lmfao.

=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=

Stats/Bio:

Name: Mist

Nickname(s): Sunshine (only allows Ember to call her that)

Age: About 600 years or so

Species: She's adamant about being human, though technically she could fall under a demi-god type status.

Height: 5'8"

Gender/Pronouns: Woman, she/her

Sexuality: Pan (Almost never gets into romantic relationships. And no, that's not just because of the whole immortality thing)

Relationship status: Single (and that's not likely to change anytime soon)

Personality: Mature, wise, motherly, respectful, understanding, self-reliant. She seems willing to be open about herself, yet also rarely seems to let herself be vulnerable.

Powers: Immortality, telepathy, Shapeshifting (limited to a few forms), Portals (can be inter-dimensional), teleportation (quantum physics+magic), earth and water manipulation

(I may rb this later to go into much more detail about each power's capabilities and limitations and all of that. 👀)

Preferred weapon(s): N/A

Fashion vibes (casual): Cozy and comfortable. Sweaters, jeans, and sneakers are the go-to.

Fashion vibes (special): Extravagant and/or intricate ballgowns with a black, dark purple, and/or dark blue color palette, and a sparkly design, to mimic a twilight or night sky.

Hobbies: Art (drawing, painting, coloring, etc), reading, playing piano, adventure

Likes: Space, quiet moments, classical (or similar sounding) music, waltz music, tea, and almost anything that she will never be able to fully comprehend or understand will fascinate her

Dislikes: Cults (who doesn't), religion in general (though she respects others beliefs. It's just not for her), being placed on a pedestal, crowds, being powerless (literally), being powerless (figuratively)

Extras/Fun Facts: She is susceptible to a certain type of power being used on her. May go more into detail about that in a different character's intro (if I even get more of these, idk if I will lmao).

Because she's been alive for so long, I would just like to confirm that she has, in fact, witnessed the creation of classical music, modern electricity, phones, planes, etc. This bamboozled me when I first realized that lmfao.

And to end this part on a goofy ahh fact: She doubts her ability to drive, yet will willingly volunteer to fly a plane (and she's genuinely good at it). Also, afraid of spiders.

Blorbo Blingus (there goes tumblr, downgrading the image quality again smh):

=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=

Brief origin story (yes this is the brief one):

Mist was born in the 1400's, into a small cult group that lived in a village, mostly secluded from civilization (aside from the occasional trader). Her first several years of life were spent more secluded than the others; not allowed to see the outside world or even interact with the others beyond what was absolutely necessary.

It was to keep her "pure".

For you see, Mist was conceived and raised to serve one purpose, and one purpose only: sacrifice. To be an offering for their "god". Nobody really understood why this was needed, but nobody really asked either, which made His job much easier.

Things didn't go according to plan, however. Reasons and explanations for why this ritual failed were unclear; only spreading through rumours and speculation. Though, Mist had noticed that the person preforming the ritual on her was reciting the wrong words. Whether or not this was on purpose, will always remain a mystery.

Now she did die, as expected. What wasn't expected, however, was her somehow pushing the lid off of what should've been her coffin, before anyone even had a chance to nail it shut. People were surprised, to say the least. (It was around here that she began to slowly gain her other magical powers as well.)

From there, tensions rose. Some of the members, namely ones who harshly judged their "God" for this mistake, saw this as a sign to change their ways, and follow her instead. Other members were more loyal to the original, who was already condemning and shaming her for supposedly betraying him.

The cult divided. ("God" will remember that.)

Around this time, Mist started noticing a little voice in her head. A voice that grew louder and became more real over time. A bitter, spiteful voice, which grew more and more powerful, the more anger and resentment it was fed.

Mist eventually grew close to that voice.

The voice suggested that she run away.

She didn't.

It tried again.

She stayed.

It ordered her to.

She refused.

Threatened.

Ignored.

It said nothing to her, just silently planted a small seed of an idea into her mind.

She left that night, and never looked back.

#...*puts her through The Horrors puts her through The Horrors puts her through The Horrors puts her through The Horrors puts her through-*#hshsghsjahsnddhs fr tho thank you so much to the anon who sent this ask in!!!#i am ✨terrified✨ of ppl's reaction to this. i am expecting the worst. but y'know what? fuck it we ball.#*potential reaction. idk how anyone's gonna react yet. that's kinda the whole point on why it's so spooky lmao #but anygay... yeah. enjoy!! and my asks are still very open and very empty and if you want more then I beg you to give me a sign #uhhhhhh... I think that's it. I think that's all the material I can use to procrastinate down here in the tags. lovely.#tw: cults #tw: religious trauma #tw: manipulation #tw: brainwashing #tw: death #Mist

uh okay... weirdly passive aggressive reply lol... i was nothing but polite and i literally swatched april from multiple lightings from two episodes to make sure i wasnt imagining it. you can go to nick's youtube, click first ep and get a swatch of her standing directly under a streetlamp and shes still few shades darker. which is where i referenced from. but you know, whatever, your reply told me more than enough about the type of person you are ¯\_(ツ)_/��

You wanna talk weirdly passive-aggressive here?

You accused me of being “unintentional” racist/ colorist (which btw, do you even know what that means?) and that I should “maybe fix the drawing.”

If you would just have asked me where I got the skincolor then I would have provided you with that. You made your own research and came to your own conclusions. Which isn’t a bad thing to do, but maybe ask me about it instead of getting salty when you “find out what type of person” I am(which, btw I would love to know!)

You sent me an ask, meaning you wanted me, not only to read, but to reply to your statement. Which I did.

I said in it my first reply but let’s make it clear. The artists behind the show loves to play around with colors, lighting and shading. They most likely use a color palette to set the mode. By that, characters will differ in colors episode to episode. To make sure a characters colors aren’t too off model, they use a reference sheet to lay out their base colors. Which is the one I used. Because I only wanted base colors.

Swatchinga from a screenshot under a streetlamp will still affect the colors, since the lighting still have a color. Placing the lighting color onto on her normal skin color will give a few shades darker in result.

A lot of things is off with the comic but it’s because it’s just a doodle, but I’ll stick by that nothing is wrong with her skincolor, and you haven’t proved me otherwise. Perhaps you could send me your evidence, and prove me wrong, but I feel like that’s highly unlikely.

Even if I was trying to whitewash her, which it sounded like in your first ask, I would have failed miserably because she’s still clearly black in my comic. I’ve already established that I agree that the act of making characters of color lighter is wrong, but my april isn’t even white/ light skinned at all. Although constructive criticism is a good thing, and you should call someone out if they are doing something wrong, but nothing was wrong with my comic to being with. Now, i will always keep April skintone in mind, but not for the right reasons.

I would love to hear what you have to say about this.. I highly doubt it, because your reply told me more than enough of what type of person you are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
