This reminds me of Emily aka Brightside, from Tights.
Brightside is a superhero. Emily is a lesbian with the most beautiful girlfriend. Her world deems both of her biggest loves illegal.
As Brightside, she manipulates light. She glows and burns and blinds, needs no mask because no one can see past the shine. Her partner keeps her balanced, keeps her good, because she fights for good even though she isn’t, and when she falls out of balance she leaves the bodies of the bad in her wake.
“You can’t wake up, this is not a dream,You’re part of a machine, you are not a human being,
Emily shrouds herself in darkness, layers of lace and pale makeup better than any civilian costume, because they have the added bonus of keeping everyone at a distance. She thinks she knows who Echo is when they’re not saving their city but she knows she only deserves Echo’s goodness when she’s actively fighting, so she never tells Rachel that she loves her even outside of costume.
With your face all made up, living on a screen,Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline.”
She doesn’t like herself but that doesn’t give anyone else the right to do the same. She burns bridges before they’re formed, hates the new superhero in town because she takes nothing seriously. Her only friends are an Echo and a statue, and even the statue is better with people than her, more compassionate than her.
Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me?Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?Pointing fingers cause you’ll never take the blame like me?
All Emily really knows how to do is burn.
(send me a song and I’ll tell you what OC it reminds me of and why)
