MiniFemSlashFeb2026 Day 10: Why are you… so energetic? (by @astrobookwormsinger)
Trupearl <3 I think it's criminal that the games acknowledge Trucy's struggles but refuse to REALLY dive deep into them the way they do to other characters. She's THE autistic masking character of all time to me, she's just so energetic all the time but from AA4 itself you KNOW she's hiding something. I think if anyone can gently coax her to reveal this side of her aside from her family, it's a shy but stubborn spirit medium with a magatama (for the Psyche-Locks). Trucy, very much like a soldier that's so used to war they don't know how to live in peace, goes through her whole life like it's a magic act because that has been her safe place and family heritage and she doesn't know how to be real. And I think Pearl is a really good candidate for this because her own life has been nothing but too real sometimes. They both have complicated family with a talent passed down. It's the same flavour of "similar trauma, different coping styles" that I see in FranMaya.
Also, Trucy has the other bracelet because why not. Also this is my design of AA5–6 Pearl, I think her big sister Iris would do her hair with braids, and she'd grow it out just a little (not in a "just like Maya" way).
(Yeah I'm aware I coloured Pearl's hair ornaments the wrong pink and forgot Trucy's mini-horns 😭)
