One thing I'm keeping for sure is that the outer layers of her clothes pop off like a Mario character losing a powerup. That's how it survives getting attacked by giant monsters and stuff, her clothes are magically resistant so they tank the hits for it. Just goofy enough of an explanation for how she survives in a profession where injuries are commonplace.

I think if I ever revisit Will as a concept she's basically going to be a she/its tgirl.

Like, I imagined them as transmasc when I made her a she/they nb sapphic but like her experience with gender is very transmisogynized. Probably because, after playing around with being That Thing, I very much think Will just feels like me but if I let myself be nonbinary about being a woman.

"Sometimes I'm just not a person, you know?" I say that a lot and like... that's Will in a nutshell. That's why they put on their suit, to make themself faceless to the world. She feels she isn't allowed to be a person, and they almost embrace it.

I've learned a lot since I first made them, though. There's so many things about Will's backstory I would have to change that I really think I'd rather just start anew with them. Like, the lore behind one of her parent's "races" made me think "oh my god past me why did you write that". And a big reveal was supposed to be that her magical disability is actually the opposite of what it was assumed to be (repulsion vs susceptibility) which is like really fucked up too.

I might make her compartmentalize her identity more, like with Me and That Thing. Their disability would be straightforward, tying it deeper into why she feels like a non-person (similar to my own health issues). Plus, I think it would be cute for two plural lesbian trans women to find each other.

...Ok that is literally two characters in the same damn comic I'm describing as plural (ignore that Don's entire system is half the cast) but no I'm still not. i refuse.
