Three Characters You Identify With

[Twinkle-eye]

Okey dokey, have been deliberating over this for a few days...

First of all I feel like a mishmash of Tina and Linda Belcher. Like, maybe Tina was me as a young person (she even has ponies!) Linda is me as an adult. Socially awkward bespectacled potato becomes Wine mum (my kid is a stuffed rabbit called Franklin) who constantly makes up songs and names random objects and wildlife XD

In high school another anime fan told me I would be a Ghibli girl, I think she was trying to throw shade because she wasn't one for giving compliments, but I didn't hate the comparison. I still continue to be fairly earnest and child like, I constantly go back and forth hairstyle wise but usually end up back with the same fluffy bobbed haircut!

I always end up loving the mute character in TV shows, like Secret Bear and Harpo Marx. Usually they are very sweet and empathetic, rascally and playful. Thoughtful. I don't really like The Big Bang Theory, but Rajesh... it was the first TV depiction of selective mutism I had ever seen and I honestly felt like I was suddenly a real person. I no longer suffer with it like I did, but anxiety would honestly cause my voice box to constrict and not allow any kind of sound through. I felt like a massive freak. I took decades for me to realise it actually had a name, and I was okay.

I think dis is me

 

[Creatrix]

Mine are: Entrapta from the SheRa reboot -She's "nerdy" socially awkward and passionate about her interests. Also written as neurodivergent coded so her quirks are very relatable ! I cannot stress how much she behaves like me, it's uncanny
G3 Minty - Also struggles reading social cues, is clumsy but hardworking and likes unusual things like socks!
Ursula from Kiki's delivery Service - Like some have mentioned, her creativity, wanting to be alone in the woods painting birds is absolute goals.
Eda from the Owl House - Seemingly selfish, but a heart of gold. Rebellious, anti establishment and energetic !

Oh wow! I can imagine how affecting that must have been for you. Representation matters so much. I hope more people with this challenge are feeling seen nowadays.

Thank you for sharing these! They are great characters! I still need to watch Owl House, I think.

Ghibli characters are so relatable. I have a particular soft spot for San, with her anger at the changes and the exploitation of the natural world around her, even though there human needs to be considered. I put a lot of work into cosplaying her..

What awesome choices! I also really identify with Minty. And oh my gosh when I watched She-Ra when it first came out I never thought about Entrapta as neurodivergent coded, now I see why I related to/liked her so much!
