Okay, so the picture above is Molly Burke. I watched her videos and got more awareness about the blind community. So it's only fitting that the OC I make that is inspired by her looks like her! Go check out her channel. So inspirational ❤️
This character is also somewhat inspired by Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender.

Name: Nia West
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Looks: (above!)
Personality: Wants to fit in and be seen equal to everyone else. Loves talking to people and is usually kind, but also doesn't tolerate bullying and she'll get angry if someone is a bully. Loves anything soft and fuzzy - especially pillows and blankets. Hates being talked down to and sometimes is upset/frusterated over her lack of vision, though she tries to be positive.
Backstory: Nia has never been able to see. She was born blind and was thought to not have much worth by her mother... But her father always believed in Nia, even though her mother didn't. Nia grew up with her mother talking down to her and treating her fragile and helpless, but also with her father challenging her and encouraging her to be the best she could. She still struggles somewhat, but she is mostly able to do what others can do, though she longs to see the beauty her audiobooks describe...
Other: Has a cute golden retriever as her service dog, who loves to play as well as do its job.
