i see mirabelle as someone who actively chooses kindness. she often has fears and doubts that she couldn't fully shake away, and yet she persists. despite pressure around her to change by trying things she would never truly wish to do, she remains herself. there is no one she wants to be more than simply herself, even through her worries about not being enough as she is.

what could cause her to let go of that?

i'd love to hear what other people think!!! ... which i say in part because, try as i might to think things through, i really don't know what's going on with her. my hands very often know more than i consciously know when i draw

i suppose, hm. i'm thinking of someone who wants to "change the world." her relationship with change and the change belief? complicated

the idea to draw her like that comes from a couple sketchbook pages of mine (wherein loop accidentally gets launched straight into the deep end of a mira loops AU), though they're not the same person

the colder greys are from markers (which ended up running out of juice part way through this) while the warmer brownish greys are from ink. i like how the ink looks more than the markers, but i suppose the markers succeed in making mira look extra unhealthy on the bottom left kjdshjkdhf

a wip:
