making a super quick character reference for the whump gift swap thing!! Nowhere Child edition :D
Name: Eight
Age: 8 years
Neurodivergence: autistic, OCD, C-PTSD
Race: white (British/Irish)
Appearance: she's very small and concerningly skinny, pale as DEATH, and she has fluffy dark hair that's about shoulder length. her eyes are all black--like actually, the scleras are black, so her eyes kind look like voids. you can kind of see her pupils if you look closely. she has a branding tattoo of the number 8 and an eye on the inside of her left wrist, and she's covered in scars and just generally looks tired and beat up. she wears a dark blue hoodie that's way too big for her, a white t-shirt underneath that, and black leggings.
Lore: she lives in what's basically the Little Nightmares world, only i revamped the lore a bit :D
she comes from the Signal Tower, where she lived with her Papa the Tower Entity, who is the bastard who destroyed the world and made it into such a nightmarish place. only then some guy came and pushed her through a TV, and so now she's out in the world and has to deal with giant nightmare monsters all the time.
she's the eighth clone of the Tower Entity's daughter Luna that he murdered. (the other seven clones were also murders) however she doesn't know this.
after her terrible experience growing up with the Tower Entity as a father, she is a people-pleaser, very used to abuse, genuinely does not know how to feel anger. whenever she's hurt she's convinced it's her own fault and she deserves it, and even when she's upset she almost never speaks up. (the one or two times she has fought back against something or other has been in defense of one of her friends)
the world is in a time loop that's been going on for AGES--but after Eight escaped the Tower, that changed things too much and for some reason this loop everyone has their memories from the previous ones. so now the loop is broken.
the adults of the world are all distorted monsters, and giant, like the kids only come up to their knee ๐ญ if you search little nightmares monsters it shows a bunch of them!! in my version there's also weird monster wolves and snakes and other animals :)) they're all kinda animalistic and generally very hostile.
Other characters: (i wasn't sure how many other characters i should describe or how much info i should include so i just did all of it ๐ญ)
Mono, who is 10 years old, male, wears an earth toned trench coat and wears a paper bag with eyeholes over his head. he's technically Eight's brother (or rather Luna's brother) but neither of them are aware of that. he's kind of an asshole--he's a sadist, lacks empathy, and has a tendency for violent revenge and torture. he's sweet sometimes, but also has no sense of personal space or boundaries, is touch-starved, and has monophobia and abandonment issues. he's hopelessly attached to Eight, who is his new best friend, and he's in a love/hate sort of relationship with Jinx, who was his old best friend who dropped him off a cliff, and he admires C. he has static powers and can go through TVs like portals.
Elena, who is 11, female, wears a pale yellow raincoat that's longer and looser fitting than Jinx's. as the oldest, she considers herself to be responsible for everyone and is very stressed out because it's hard to keep everyone alive. she has self-loathing and people-pleasing tendencies, and is best friends with Jinx. she has healing powers that exhaust her to use.
Jinx, who is 9, female, wears a purple raincoat with white shorts. she's a cannibal because of some weird hunger curse.. anyways back during the time loop she accidentally ate Seven. he's ok now since the loop reset but that's why C hates her. Jinx used to be best friends with Mono but he kept going into TVs and accidentally freed a monster that kidnapped her, so when he came to save her she just dropped him off a cliff. she thinks he's an asshole.
Seven, who is 8, trans ftm, wears a blue button up shirt and jeans, and a cuff on his ankle that he's not sure how to get off. he's shy, scared of everything, and kind of a crybaby. he's best friends with C but is scared of her and lowkey resents her. his favorite friends are Jinx--she apologized for eating him that one time and he's still wary but forgave her--and Eight. he absolutely adores Eight but it does creep him out that she's still alive after everything he's seen happen to her.
Lucia, who is 8, female, wears a light blue/teal gown. she used to live in a mansion and is still adjusting to being out in the world with all the monsters. she's sheltered, kind of naive, but sweet. she's very book smart and is a tech whiz :D she looks up to Elena and Jinx and is best friends with Shadow.
C, who is 9, female, wears a green sweater and jeans. she appears to be mean and violent but truthfully she's just terrified of losing her best friend Seven again. she loathes Jinx for what she did, and she also loathes Eight for getting too close to Seven. she's tried to murder Eight and Jinx a couple times. she's friendly with Mono but doesn't really like him, he kind of intimidates her so she's often rude towards him so he doesn't get any ideas.
Shadow, who is 7, female, the smallest out of the group, and wears a hospital gown/nightgown. she's deaf and can read lips but prefers to communicate via asl. she has shadow magic, and also has hallucinations that sometimes manifest physically through her magic. she's tough, determined, and wary of everyone, although she does really like Lucia and she also likes being babied by Elena.
The Tower Entity, whose real name is James, he's male and like mid thirties. he destroyed the world in an attempt to get the power to bring his little sister Eden back from the dead. he hasn't quite managed that yet but goddamnit he's trying!! he abuses Eight but is kind of hot and cold about it, sometimes he'll beat her up and yell at her but other times he just wants to hug her and sit in silence for awhile.
Eight (i couldn't find a black sclera option) โ
