I'm finally posting a pic of my oc, I drew them weeks ago but I was too lazy to wrote out their life story oops (speed paint on my yt)
Rhea is a nonebinary person who is dating lux (another one of my oc's) growing up they didn't have the best childhood, their parents are rich immagrates from the middle east who currently work under lux's parents company, all their life they were forced into being perfect for their parents, forced to study 24/7 with no social life rhea turend to art, astrology and geology to entertain themselves, they are an artist with a major astrology and gemstone obsession ( hence why they changed their name to rhea onyx, rhea being one of Saturn's moon even tho the name originally from mythology and onyx being a gemstone ) they went through lots of hardships with their parents which in the end resulted in self discovery and ending up as lux's partner but thats a longer story for another time, even though they went trough alot they now they bearly contact their parents and live with lux and 6 cats probabaly even more cats in the future
Rheas parents were super strict, everything about their life had to be perfect, rhea didn't have many friends other than the neighbours kid jessie. Rhea always had to be studying, wearing what their mom commanded, acting like how their mom wished and being the definition of perfect by force and un surprisingly rhea managed to graduate with flying colors until it came time for collage thats when rhea refused to go to any collage other than art school in the end rhea ended up not going to collage at all but ended up being a commission artist
Discovering their nonbinary identity:
!! Each nonebinary person has a diffrent story, nonebinary can be an umbrella term, this is just what rhea went through it doesn't mean ever nonebinary person relates !!
Even as a kid rhea always knew they didn't identify with their birth gender but they didn't identify with the complete opposite gender either so they were always left in a state of confusion in the middle not being one or another, not fitting in with the boys or the girls but being the middle, they would always wish they could be just one, to rhea it was better knowing if you were a boy or a girl then being both and neither and just something completely different, through the help of the Internet rhea ended up discovering their true identity and finding the terms that best fit them
At first rhea meet lux at a charity ball where out of panic they accidently left their sketchbook which lux later found, they started out as friends but they both knew there was more there so they started dating, when their parents found out it was by someone outting them, their parents weren't happy especially because lux is trans aswell, but in the end rhea ended up cutting their parents out of their life anyways so they now happily live with lux and their cats
Rhea is very special to me because they were my source of experimenting and finding myself, at first I wanted rhea to be completely based off me but the more I started creating the charcter and the plot lines for them the more rhea ended up becoming their own person and the more I learnt about myself and for that reason rhea will always be extreamly close to me, you guys probabaly dont know but I wrote a novel about their story which is now deleted to the public and just kept to myself, writing the novel took months, it was around this time last year I prignay started and their story still isn't complete, writing that novel was where I put my ventting in, everything rhea went through started by me going through something similar and finding ways out of problems for rhea helped me find answers in my problems, rhea was made by my intreasts and deepest thoughts which bloomed to their own person, now when writing rhea it feels less like im making a charcter but more like im discovering something new one, it doesn't feel like writing it feels making a new friend and talking to them, getting so close that they have completely become a part of you
Thank you for reading about how much their character means to me :)
