"Straight hair, straight A's, straightforward"

Sketched this out back in like- June but then Artfight happened. Really happy to get back to it and I think a lot of the skills I worked o during Artfight came in handy!

If this art intrigues you, I'd love it if you gave my fic a whirl! Chen's my favorite of the TLNM characters I've developed into my own, and I'm delighted to bring his story to everyone! Plus it's got plenty of my (and the lovely @impulsivefanwriter + @fanfalc-616's) TLNM world building!

(Seriously I don't know where I'd be without them- Thank you Imp and Falcon)

FINALLY DONE- I kept starting and stopping like 5 other ideas for this DTYS and finally picked the original idea I had- I got it done in time :D This is for the lovely @angeldrawsstuffs' DTIYS (which you still have three days to enter)

Chenifer Chenber Jamber Amber Jr. II, known to most as just “Chen”. A cheerleader at Ninjago City High school, on the surface having everything a teenager could want: riches, popularity, good looks, you name it. He play his part perfectly, scoring straight As in class, being the cheer captain, and being acceptably snarky to Public Enemy #2: Lloyd Garmadon.

But, beneath the surface, his family has secrets, dark secrets. Secrets Chen wants nothing more than an escape from… but he knows that’s ridiculous. He’s an Amber, after all, and that fact alone makes him beyond redemption.

Here’s a drawing from the final scene of my fic, Straight As’, latest chapter! Meet Chen’s streamer/musician persona: Citrine Snake!

Since you are the ceo of Chen the cheerleader, I would like your opinion on something.

If Chen was an Animal Crossing villager, what animal would he be?

Hello to you too!

After careful consideration and consultation with The Council (see: @impulsivefanwriter), I have concluded that Chen would be a sheep/ram! Due to how he follows commands as told and doesn’t/can’t step out of line, and sheep are a common euphemism for people like that. But, rams specifically have horns, they’re capable of doing damage and fighting back, much like Chen. Unfortunately for him, he’s been taught to hide them away, and been deliberately brought up to never know the true power he’s capable of.
