Slow drifting clouds sailed through the blue sky. The morning sun peeked through the soft clouds as the rays drew lines through the damp morning air. The morning dew covered the majestic canopy like a soft blanket, while the soothing sounds of running water gave contrast to the sound of dancing leaves...
In the middle of the clearing a small bundle slowly stirred awake as the harsh sun teased her. A soft mumble escaped her lips as she moved her delicate palms in an attempt to cover up her eyes...
As thoughts slowly took form in my otherwise empty mind. And the faint pleasant feeling spreading throughout my body, from the very core towards my toes and fingers. Slowly awakening every cell throughout my body. The softness of grass. The chill of the wind. The sound of millions of leaves. Everything around me started to come together as my senses slowly adjusted to reality. As the sun struck a fierce stance I slowly moved my arms in order to protect my still weak eyes.
Moments passed as I slowly stirred my eyelids awake. Even through the palm of my hand, the figure of the sun could still be seen. As my sight slowly adjusted I rolled onto my side as I stretched out my arms and legs.
After enjoying the soft blanket underneath me I slowly turned my sight towards the faint sound of water. Slowly supporting my body with my hands I slowly straightened myself into an upright sitting position.
A few meters away from me a small creek cut through the otherwise empty clearing. With tall majestic trees forming a natural circle surrounding the small clearing. Underneath the trees, dense vegetation completely blocked up any chance of looking further. Vines and thorn filled plants almost crawling up the sides of the trees reaching well over a meter tall.
Taking a few moments to work out how to use my muscles I finally stood on my own two feet for the first time. As I slowly made my way towards the small creek. When nearing the edge I slowly moved down on my knees. Gazing down I saw my own reflection for the first time.
A white haired girl looked back at me. With eyes like white snow filled with the curiosity of a newborn child meeting their of own reflection for the first time. Studying my own expressions. I felt very satisfied. I was cute and delicate. With a somewhat serious looking face when I feel into contemplation. After a few more minutes I pulled myself away. Raising my head I took a closer look at my surroundings.
I saw nothing noteworthy except the small creek. The wall like undergrowth only looked a bit more traversal where the creek entered and left the clearing. As I sat there and studied my surroundings, my senses slowly picked up something interesting. As my eyes and nose worked together to locate the source I slowly began to feel an unfamiliar, but familiar feeling... Hunger.
Does MC's hair and eyes have a shade of white like this? [https://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/19009413]
Is the sclera and skin of MC also white?
Thanks for the chapter
Yes. The hair and eye color is similar.
@Nyhn So her skin is also black, right?
How tall is she?
@Gin0001 Her skin is currently fair white, about the height.... At this point in the story she should be about 162ish centimeters tall. Maybe a bit less.
Don't read the spoiler if you are not deadly curious about skin color.
I don't think that I'll change her skin color throughout the story. The script actually contains a whole volume where her skin is blackish, but I'm not sure I'll use that part though. When I wrote the script I branched the story off at that point but I kept the script in case I changed my mind, but don't count on it
@Nyhn
Okay, but I think the blackish skin and black sclera would match the snow-white hair and irises very well and make them stand out even more.
How old does she look?
@Nyhn What color is her sclera today?
@Gin0001 At this point, a few minutes/hours at most
Real age? Hmm, major spoilers.
The picture you linked is extremely similar to the MC I envisioned, in the facial department. Just not the gold glitter, that's not included. Apart from that it's pretty good.
If I were not completely useless at drawing I would've made a picture, but that's not something that's going to happen
Just keep in mind, this is still extremely early in the story and things can change drastically one way or another. Chapter 1 after all
@Nyhn I was talking about how old she seems, judging only the level of development of her body from the perspective of a normal human?
@Nyhn So were you tempted to use this cover photo?
@Gin0001 Hmm, the facial features are indeed fitting, the hair looks just right as well. But the skin color and the glitter around the eyes are off, so sadly I don't think I would use it.
But even if it were perfect, and even had MC's name on the front, I would still respect the artist's copyright, and not use it without explicit permission
. Thanks for your interest in the story, makes me happy to get some questions, even though I wont answer all of them
@Nyhn How about this one? https://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/18696731
@Gin0001 Based on human standards... Well, age is based on a lot of factors. If we look at her like an inanimate object from a third persons perspective, I would probably describe her as a slender, youthful looking young woman. But if we take personality into the equation, it gets much harder. Behaviorism changes perception as they say.
@Gin0001 Too young.
But behaviour wise quite precise
@Nyhn
So the MC looks like a child of about 7 years old with a very developed body for her age, to the point of rivaling a 14 year old girl, right?
@Gin0001 No no. She does not look like a 7 years old, she looks older than that. But her personality is more in line with that age group.
Don't read the below spoiler if you don't want to lose part of the charm about our MC, in my humble opinion. The spoiler tag is there for a reason
Let's look at it this way. Recently born, completely without experience, she acts childishly towards the world because of inexperience. She does not look like a child from a physical perspective, but the way she acts makes her seem more childish than she actually is. I actually based the character on one of my friends. She's old looking on the outside, but she has this innocent outlook on life that makes her seem younger than her actual age. When I formed the character in my mind, I was reluctant to put a number on her head, as I feared it would cause people to associate age with behavior as our MC is special. She's just a newborn in soul after all. Our character was only granted a bit of knowledge, since it would be boring to read about a newborn all alone, and she would've never been able to survive
@Nyhn
What I meant was that she has "the mind of a child of 7 years old at the most, but with a body as big as a girl of 14".
@Gin0001 Yes, that's the thought behind it
