Okay. So.
Workshopping a name still but she fits so nicely into the overall high school sphere going on here 😭 she's socially pretty awkward and struggling with identity issues and as a result really looks up to lemon bc she's like "wow she knows exactly who she is and what she wants and she doesn't let anyone push her around". In trying to actually find identity she's just going along with whatever trends come her way and she tries to adapt to them, painting herself as vapid and airheaded when she's actually going directly into a biochem field, which lemon doesn't know until they have a class together and mindflayer girlie patiently walks her through a problem, giving her a completely aced past test as a study guide, and as soon as lemon asks why she pretends she's not insanely brilliant, the insecurities start to come out
She's got substandard materials that make up her body and as a result has learned both basic and advanced repairs on herself, patching her casing and reattaching limbs and the like, completely on her own. She's a little dizzy from lacking enough blood in her body but has managed to find substitutes that work almost as well. She's got a mind for hands on work and exceptionally understands putting ideas into practice. She's a number cruncher, going for precision in her personal endeavors, able to tell lemon when her ideas with fire won't work or will explode outright (and whether or not it'll at least be a cool explosion).
She genuinely thinks lemon is the coolest girl on earth and everyone thinks she's a little lame for having a crush on the local pyromaniac. She blurts out one day that she wants to be girlfriends with her and lemon doesn't even bat an eye before going "oh sure" without actually thinking about the ramifications of what she just agreed to. She doesn't read romance into anything they do, and the mindflayer isn't too certain it's what she even wants, they're in a qpp sort of situation and lemon basically helps her come out of her shell a bit by doing exactly what she does for mirage - standing up for her and asserting her worth. I also image she's able to instantly hit it off with mirage by referencing a philosopher that mirage was certain no one else would ever have read and they go back and forth for a bit on it, mindflayer is nervous about being too opinionated but means well and it's sort of endearing
Ideas funny to me specifically: a second machine OC but this one has all my specific health problems
Thinking a mindflayer just bc of the idea of like. She put together her own body with what she had and it was a little subpar, she's got parts that just fall off, her casing tends to easily dent, she's consistently just slightly low on fuel but she manages
#i uh. well she needs a name now 😭#i am envisioning her tutoring math and like. she's on the ground on her stomach kicking her legs in the air#leaning on one arm and pointing to a homework page with the other; her little tentacles are holding up a worksheet or past test#another tentacle skims lines in a textbook; she's so smart but thinks she won't fit in if she's obvious about it#lemon is like. silly. i can't even remember why i named her lemon djjfkf i need a good name for this girlie!!!#this is sara. short for serotonin. thinking maybe a gemstone name? biased bc i had another dude i wanted to name iolite#and also saw someone's mindflayer oc named after larimer.. we can do better than this.. oh FUCK what color is she#she's got something cool going on i can feel it. i can feel it so much. she is gonna be so cool#what if i made her change colors. what about it's make believe land and i can do whatever i want#ppl think she's pink tinted but she's just so nervous and anxious all the time; she goes fully bright pink when she confesses#in the middle of a hallway no less 😭 maybe her default color is some kind of purple? i think i need to name her after like.#a chem term or smthn. thinking maybe like astrophysics or astronomy. ohhh she could have little stars on her?#fully customized body bc she built it herself dammit and she wants to be proud and brushes it off when ppl ask#''oh that's so cool!'' ''haha yeah a friend did it for me 😳'' she would be such a strong personality if she wasn't so anxious#thinking of midnight as a name but i keep thinking of the bnha lady and. i don't want that dkjflf#this girlie is chronically sleep deprived bc she's awake at ungodly hours reading books#some of them are relevant to her stem interests. some of them are yuri manga.#lemon taking a textbook off a shelf and mindflayer is a lil embarrassed about the master's level mechanical engineering book#before lemon grabs another and is like oooooooh what's this one? it has girls kissing on it#lemon thinks it's really cute and mindflayer is like. i can still save this 👁👁#they are. oh my god they're everything to me.#shai speaks#oc tag
