Umbra's Art Den

While growing up, Riley didn't enjoy being trapped in society's box of what a man is and how one has to act because they were born male. Over the years, Riley began to reject gender and social norms, forsaking the way society wanted him to behave and refusing to uphold the status quo! Throwing off the chains that bound him, Riley came out as Non-Binary - changing his pronouns to He/They!

No longer would gender be something that held them back! No longer would they live by society's expectations! They would live for themself and be who they want to be!

Desiree likes taking pictures of the world around her to remember where she's been, who she saw, and capturing the important moments of her life!

Funny enough, Natalie and Soraya were created because I wanted to do a dog x cat GL dynamic. Natalie is more open with her feelings, while Soraya tends to try to hide her feelings the best she can.

Doodles of Soraya and Natalie together!

Between her friends/classmates having crushes weekly and several people becoming lovers, Desiree never had many crushes or was interested in dating others. When she entered her late teens/young adult years, Desiree began going on dates and hooking up with guys who matched her vibe. While she never felt the same romantic or sexual attraction as them, Desiree did feel a connection, a bond, and in her own way fell in love.

As more chapters go by, Kris' character is slowly revealed to the audience. They are not a self-insert character, but an actual character who has motive and goals. Between the normal and weird route, we see Kris' true self - a teen who cares for their friends, has a tendency to prank others, and doesn't like us aka the player.

Y'all are amazing and beautiful in your own way!

YOU MATTER!! YOU EXIST!!

DON'T let others bring you down!!

Maddie was born male, but never felt right being referred to as a man and didn't enjoy being called He, Him, Sir, etc. While it took time, years of anxiety, and debate, once he transitioned into a woman - all that anxiety melted away into happiness upon seeing herself in the mirror for the first time.

Unlike humans, Soraya has existed for 500 years as a Grim Reaper. She has seen the ups and downs of humanity, the shunning of queer people, and the fight for queer rights across the world. For her, the notion of not being able to love someone because of their sex/gender is foolish!

Soraya loves who she loves regardless of their sex/gender. For her, the thought of being with someone who makes the world feel brighter and warmer is better than a forced status quo.
