I made a Visabilime Pattern for Sakura! Had too many ideas on how this could look and had to make them, but in a small way because I have very little energy today.

Psst! You can find this pattern on my Redbubble too :) https://www.redbubble.com/people/TheDarkAllieWay/shop?asc=u

To See is To Be. And. I want to See More of Me! Disability is just one part of a character. It can be a focus, or in the background or somewhere in between. It depends on the person. It depends on the disability. But it can always be a part of the story. So let’s see what that could look like in some of our favorite stories. Ochako Uraraka from MHA Let’s increase VisibiliMe! What if Uravity had a disability? Like say type 1 diabetes. Type 1 is a genetic condition that tends to develop in childhood that makes it difficult for the body to keep a healthy level of sugar in the blood. Like many children born with chronic conditions, Uraraka had to be responsible early, and develop a routine of nutrition and exercise to maintain her sugar levels. This led to her dependable attitude and love of martial arts and fitness. Uraraka uses a device called a Dexcom to monitor her glucose, which can be placed all around the body. Ochako grew up watching her family struggle to keep up with her medical bills, leading to her want to make money. So she became determined to pay back her parents both literally and figuratively and prove that just because she has a disability doesn’t mean she can’t be a hero.

She still develops her 'Everything will be okay' mentality despite the additional challenges of navigating a world that was not built to accommodate her condition. Sakura's ability to utilize her cane translates into her ability to wield her magic staff. She is fully accepting of her role to capture the Clow Cards, which she can sense via vibrations in the world. When that fails, she uses her other senses and friends to capture the cards. Tomoyo is often Sakura's eyes, using her video drone to give Sakura a lay of the land. Kero would act as her guide "dog" in her day to day life. He's a golden retriever, Sakura swears. After every capture, Sakura take the time to review each card under her finger tips to get to know them. The cards in turn, transform into small statues for her to feel what they look like. Sakura hopes to become a Cardcaptor worthy of her new friends.
