number three is an oc named lilly belle from, again, my second star universe! i have drawn her once, and she also has a pinterest board, if you're interested in those :).

lilly belle robbins lives in savannah, georgia, and her parents are owners of a large auto repair shop, so she's very well off. since the tender age of 10 years old, she's been kind of engaged to her friend and almost-neighbor clarence williams, because their parents view their eventual marriage as a business merger. neither of them are particularly interested in marrying each other, but at the moment, there's not much either of them can do about it.

lilly belle is very fond of books, particularly mystery novels, and fancies herself a bit of a detective. so when clarence invites her to a speakeasy, the second star, she eagerly accepts! pretty quickly, lilly belle notices that there is something fishy going on at this speakeasy (beyond the usual illegal activities of yanno. smuggling booze). perhaps a touch too excited to live out her detective fantasies, lilly belle starts investigating the owner of the speakeasy, gloria. at first, lilly belle is frightened by what she uncovers (gang activity oh my!!!). but as she gets to know gloria better, they grow closer, and eventually become friends and perhaps more than friends :)

oh also she starts playing ukulele for the jazz band as an excuse to hang around the speakeasy more.

number seven is my very beloved oc pierre who you've probably heard me talk about too many times. i love him very very much, he's probably the character nearest and dearest to my heart. he does have a pinterest board, and i think i deleted the original post where i showed his concept sheet so...

i think he is so cute!!! :D pierre was actually created as a sort of alter ego? i hate to say that, it sounds very cringe, but he was born of a joke i made with my friends a few years ago that i would be happier as an 18th century aristocrat twink. so i named my aristocrat twink pierre, and he grew from there!

pierre is now in his midtwenties, and he lives in a very idealized version of france in the 1740s. he's a bachelor and lives in a small manor that was gifted to him by his father. he's the third son, and was also a very sickly child, and as such didn't really get the same opportunities as his older siblings did. however, pierre takes his status as a self-proclaimed leech in stride.

he adores the arts and beauty of all kinds: he loves opera and fashion and gardening! (roses are his favorites). when he's not in the gardens, he's at parties and galas. he is quite the town tart, and hides his desperate need for love behind desire and flirtations. though he has many friends, the two people in the world who truly know him are his sister (madeleine) and his best friend/valet (étienne).

pierre is kind of a caricature of some of my own flaws-- i often feel selfish or vain or worthless and desperate for love, and pierre is all of that times a hundred. the fact that he is everything wrong with me, and yet still so charming and lovable is very cathartic!! and, of course, giving him an eventually-boyfriend who accepts him unconditionally and encourages him to grow is also very therapeutic lmao.
