Meet my reaaaally depressing TADC OC, Sowft :3
Her name comes from the words Sow, which means female bear, and Soft, and is pronounced like Soft.
When she first spawned in she stood there trembling harder than a leaf, only seemingly calming down slightly when she first lays her eyes on Caine, when promptly decided first thing first was that she needed a name.
The name generator actually rolled Bjorn first, which made Kinger laugh (It also means bear).
For the talent show adventure she sings “A Pearl” by Mitski, and unbeknownst to everyone, even Caine, it was to him. Even afterwards he offhandedly says to Bubble, “I wonder who she was singing to.”
She adores Caine, but is unable to express her emotions properly, and has basically become mute from the stress and overstimulation caused by being in the circus (yes she gots that autism like ya boi, but she’s not me istg-)
- Likes Kinger, Ragatha, Gangle and Bubble
-Dislikes Zooble, Jax, and Pomni
-Crushing on Caine
Jax doesn’t like that he can’t get a rise out of her, so mostly just ignores her back
Zooble doesn’t know she doesn’t like them, so still says hi, just thinks Sowft’s being Sowft.
Pomni has a feeling Sowft doesn’t like her but doesn’t really know why.
Ragatha said to her “Us ragdolls gotta stick together!” And now Sowft usually just hangs around her, Ragatha just tries to be nice but in all honesty Sowft creeps her out a bit.
Gangle also thinks she’s a little creepy, but doesn’t mind showing Sowft her art when she stares at her sketchbook randomly.
Kinger feels sorry for her when lucid, says hi when he sees her whenever.
Caine likes her, mostly because she never complains, and he can see her nodding along when he explains his adventures, but why doesn’t she tell him how wonderful his adventures are like he knows she’s been wanting to tell him, why does she only use her voice when singing or- UGH! Humans.
When Caine tortures the cast I imagine her scenario like the following-
Sowft is trapped inside a clear box, surrounded by mannequins disguised as the rest of the crew, all have their backs to her, her cries unheard as not a single one turns to acknowledge Sowft.
It symbolises her fear of isolation caused by factors that are simply out of her control, I.e. the muteness and lack of emotional expression.
I have more but like I wanna draw it and destroy some of yalls hearts that way but idk yet tbh
Sowft Anime School, Noir, and Spudsy’s design concepts :3
