Somehow the OC is always a girl. The rest of the genders are vibing to Baby Shark in the core of the earth.


SCENARIO 1 

-Annabelle Eva Jude Tris Katniss Primrose Christina Emma Clary Jocelyn Chase, the long lost twin sister of Annabeth. 

-She is the daughter of all the gods of all the pantheons. 

-She defeats a million monsters all by herself. 

-She passes out, like, a million times.

"Hi, my name is Leo Valdez." 

"OMG LEO MARRY ME AJFSHASKJFKSA *faints*"

"Welcome to Camp Half Blood."

"ASDASKAJSFSKAFKS *faints*"

"Chiron is letting us order pizza today!"

"OMG PIZZA, MY LOVE. Ahem- after Leo, Percy and Nico, of course. ADSKJAHKSJHFKAJ *faints*"

"*chapter ends*"

"ASDFDDFGHHGDFG *faints*"

-She considers herself "ugly" when she has perfectly perfect facial features. 

(Check the authors' note at the end of the chapter for more context)

-She is "fat" despite having a size 0 waist.

(What a problem with such an OC is that it forgets to spread the essence, or the true meaning, of respecting every body size. Body positivity has pretty much lost its true meaning over the years so the most we can do is respect every body type.

Unless you're writing a story solely focusing on a person coming to terms with their body, of course. Even then, addressing this topic in such a manner, may not be the best way forward and we would request you to reconsider what you're writing and try searching up about it *FROM TRUSTED RESOURCES* a little first.)

-No dresses and makeup because that's not quirky enough. She doesn't want to be like other girls. How boring is that? 

(Again, there is no problem in not wanting to wear makeup, but at the same time, you can't put people who like wearing makeup down. It's their body and their choice of what they want to do with it. Maybe your OC can not like makeup and has no hate for people who like putting it on. Or vice versa. That's a good choice. However, hating on either side of it is wrong.)

-Somehow, her hair never gets ruined in battle. 

-Brown and hazel eyes- sorry, ✨orbs✨ don't exist with OCs like her. There's a huge chance she has pink, gold, silver, black, green, blue or multi-coloured orbs.

(Having rare eye colours is pretty cool, but it's maddening how people with brown eye colours are often considered unattractive for having a common and "basic" eye colour. All eye colours are beautiful and all eye colours deserve representation and to be treated the same way because come on, it's literally just a melanin difference. Having a non-brown eye colour doesn't make anyone any superior (and vice versa). This is especially important when talking about characters of colour, who naturally have higher melanin than, say, white characters. Of course, it is not like people of colour DON'T have any rare eye colours, however, if you want to represent a specific type of POC, it is always preferred if you don't give them eurocentric features if they happen to be the ONLY character of that particular race.)
