And last but not least, Molly! Can you tell she's my favorite?

So like.. you know how folks on TikTok are photobashing characters and OCS and stuff..?

Welp... I decided to give it a go.

Ive also seen a handful of people doing 'wanted' or 'missing' posters so I thought it'd be fun.

Also, bad parents still issue missing persons reports- even if they're aware that theyre the reason their kid is running in the first place. So like :/

Feel free to do whatever with this, or not, idc

You are 13 and for as long as you can remember the world has been grey. This doesn't bother you—really, it doesn't—because you can't mourn something you have never experienced. 

Being colorblind means your mom picks your outfits and every one of them looks wrong on you, apparently. But it doesn't matter, you've never cared about fashion. You don't look at yourself unless forced to, and even when a mirror is shoved in your face you blend in with the background.

You wouldn't call yourself a sad person but you're not really a happy one either. You feel the same every hour of every day. At night you cry, and you don't like to think about it because you're not sad. You're not much of anything. It's just that when there is nothing to distract you, when there is no one else awake, your mind becomes aware of the absence of a visible light spectrum.

Colorblindness is not something to mourn, so you won't mourn it.

You are 14, and on the first day of summer camp you meet a girl wearing blue jeans and a red plaid shirt, and you feel your cheeks turn pink. It's overwhelming. But she holds your hand and that makes it less scary. 

There are brown deer, a yellow sun, foxes with orange coats, and girls with purple dyed hair. When you look in the mirror you realize you are blonde, wearing a green shirt and tan cargo shorts. And you are a person. 

Grey scares you more than the blackness of the night or roar of a brown bear. But it's easy to ignore when everywhere around you is flourishing with awaiting adventures. Unless it's night, and even then every achromatic nightmare is eclipsed by a hug from a friend or a bite of green apple at breakfast. 

The world is colorful. It's alive and magical; An everlasting rainbow. You understand what it means to be happy now. You don't cry at night anymore. 

You are 15 and you are dying. Drowning. Suffocating. You feel yourself turn pale as you watch a sunset without color. 

You can't ignore it anymore, you are not nothing and it hurts. You are stabbed through the heart every time you open your eyes, and you bleed dark grey molasses.

You wonder if it was better to be numb. You decide you'd rather crave times long gone then never experience anything you cared about enough to miss. Because when you mourn colorblindness you acknowledge the possibility of a world with color. 

Ripley: 11. She has the energy

Jo and April: 14. My instinct is to make Jo a year or two older than April, but ofc we know that they're around the same age! I wanted to say they were 16 because of Jo going to college at such a young age, but we know from one of the issues that the campers are all too young to drive. Jo's birthday is during the summer, so I can see her turning 15 then!

Molly: 15 1/2. I think she's one of the oldest girls, both due to being the tallest and the fact that she's one of the most independent in her storyline and character arc.

Mal: 15-15 1/2. Obviously a similar age to Molly as they're dating, and her home life and hobbies suggest that she's very independent as well.

Jen: 17 1/2-18. I don't think she's quite a full adult yet, but she's definitely almost there!

Zodiacs: 16-17. I HC them as being a bit older than the Roanokes, especially since one of them(Diane) is thousands of years old. Even besides her, none of the Zodiacs(except Barney, who I think is 15) give off the vibe that they're very young, while the Roanokes often do.
