Zoe Saldana Wore Brandon Maxwell To The 2024 Critics Choice Association’s Celebration Of Latino Cinema And Television

AMRITA SINGH (REBECCA ABLACK) IS LOOKING FOR…

Connection: Fellow teenage runaway/past friend

Suggested Name:  UTP

Age Range:  21-25

Species:  UTP

Suggested FCs: Renee Rapp, Vivoree Esclito, Zoe Terakes, Jayden Revri, Imada Mio, Havana Rose Liu, Juliette Motamed, Kaity Nguyen, Yandeh Sallah, Lukita Maxwell, or UTP. I would prefer a FC of color.

Connection Description:

Trigger warnings: mentions of abuse, bad parenting.

Amrita ran away from her childhood home at the age of sixteen (16) due to the abuse she faced.

Your character was another teenage runaway who grew up in Quebec, Canada. Whether your character ran away due to rebellion or something more serious, it is completely up to you! I just imagine that regardless their reason, Amrita was thankful to run into someone consistently on the year she was in the streets. 

Amrita was a young witch with uncontrollable powers, so if your character is supernatural species they probably caught on to what or who she was quickly given how animals always seem to follow her and flowers wilted everywhere she stepped. (For lore reasons, a human couldn't have noticed because if they did, Amrita would be breaking the Accords and I don't want that smoke IC)

If your character is a supernatural species, maybe the two bonded over being different and trying to figure it out due to their wild emotions. Maybe they made each other not feel as afraid or alone?

If your character is human, maybe they bonded over family troubles, or just struggling with their identity. Maybe they bonded over not really having aspirations or not having support with their dreams. Truly, a lot of possibilities!

If your character ran away from home purely out of rebellion or a not traumatic reason, maybe they went back home before Amrita left Canada and helped Amrita out? Amrita ended up staying over some high school friends place before leaving Quebec entirely.

The two probably got quite close. I imagine they shared spots to get food and maybe even joined gym memberships to be able to shower. Amrita never really had friends, so your character would have been really treasured by her. But then Amrita's father reached out and sought her out. After fighting against it, she eventually gave in and moved to LA, California with him. There she was able to finish off high school and start working.

Amrita moved into Lunar Cove late 2023 to apply to the university in town (and look for her long lost brother). She found Rohan, her long lost brother, and has started making a home in town, but she severely lacks any connection from her past!

Why and when your muse came into town is completely up to you! Are they a supernatural species who has been evading hunters? Are they recently turned? Are they just trying to find somewhere to settle down? Have they reconnected with Amrita (either through online or PenPals) and heard of town that way? A lot of possibilities that I'd love to discuss with you. But again, you have a lot of free reign over this.

Please be sure to contact the player before applying:

Since you mentioned the name several times now I looked up who Nikki Maxwell is. From the basic description of her on her wiki page I can kinda see some similiarities to Marinette and now I wonder if you have some more in-depth comparisons between the two to share that would explain your remark on Marinette beeing a copy of her. I think the description of the character doesn't make her seem particularly unique and a character-type I'd expect to appear often in these kind of youth novels.

---

Sure thing! Here's some fun facts about the Dork Diaries series, one of the most best-selling kids’ books of the 2000s, that have been translated into 50+ languages, including French:

Nikki's iconic look is having her hair in pigtails.

She often babysits a small girl with pigtails.

She is a good artist.

She is, despite her poor self esteem, very talented in many areas.

She is extremely clumsy and prone to getting into embarrassing situations.

She gets overly embarrassed about the most inconsequential things.

She has a tendency for highly exaggerated panic spirals, where she comes up with imaginary scenarios that are full of fantastical events and are often illustrated in an anime/manga style.

She gets mad easily and it can take her a while to get over perceived slights.

She’s a bad liar but people believe her anyway.

She is a huge hypocrite, who often does things she claims to not do. (Unlike Marinette, her internal narration almost always points this out.)

She has a crush on a boy in her class, mostly based on the fact that he is nice, and her rival in school also likes him.

Brandon, said crush, is very popular but still a loner, and socially awkward.

MacKenzie, Nikki's rival, is a rich blonde bully who wears diamonds often (and very familiar-looking sunglasses at one point). Despite her vast resources, she always loses against Nikki in whatever they're competing in.

MacKenzie is a more classic “queen bee”, than Chloé, but does get called such canonically.

MacKenzie eventually transfers schools because she stopped having power and prestige over her classmates.

Nikki's biggest character flaw is a lack of communication, where she puts off telling people things she thinks they won't like hearing. (Unlike Marinette, she actually has to make it up to people when they find out she's been lying to them.)

A typical plotline in Dork Diaries is that, despite being well-liked, having devoted friends and caring parents, Nikki often hides her problems from them and struggles needlessly.

Nikki eventually gains a secondary love interest, André, who looks eerily similar to Luka in illustrations, in addition to having Astruc's favorite French guys' name.

Nikki's classmates include characters named Max, Chloe and Zoe, with Chloe and Zoe being closely associated with each other. (You know what I always say: two is a coincidence, three is a pattern, and we're now counting four same names.)

Many of these things are, to be fair, very basic school drama protagonist cliches. However, when it's this much similarity between two supposedly unrelated characters, especially with some of the highly specific similarities here, like the animesque imagine spots, it's a pattern and not a coincidence. Is the pattern that there's some template both Nikki and Marinette are based on (like how Vegeta and Hiei’s similarities are because they’re both based off the same older character), or did Astruc copy his protagonist from a mega hit of children’s, especially girls’, literature to try to copy that success? Who knows. It's not like we can expect Astruc to be honest about whether or not he copied Marinette's personality from literature.

I know Astruc hasn't actually read the stuff he claims to have read, so that's a point in favor of Astruc being a too lazy reader to copy someone else's work. However, he must have grown familiar with all these tropes somehow. You can’t hit this many hallmarks of a genre without being somewhat familiar with it, and this genre is the most prolific in literature, and there is research data showing that children often prefer either books or television, so he could reasonably expect the audience not to realize how copy-pasted Marinette is.

Miraculous and Dork Diaries share DNA. How directly they’re related I can’t tell, because I’m not that knowledgeable about the school drama genre.
