if anyones curious about the oc i drew today, her friends also technically don’t have names. Her story is basically her and her friend, who can lowkey bend reality bc he’s not a Real Person, are doing quests to help a princess regain her throne, but the princess doesn’t really have a name either. Everyone just calls her by her title, but when the hero met her, she just saw a girl in silk pajamas, so she started calling her Silk. And she gives her friend a name when they first meet, because he asks her for one.
And along w/ him being not “real,” silk’s also dead, so her state of being is in question as well, but once she names them, they become people instead of stories, while she becomes the mysterious and nameless silver haired savior.
