Zora Covent

‎

Your name is ZORA COVENT and you are seventeen years old. It is an unseasonably warm day, but then again it’s always an unseasonably warm day, probably because your hometown hasn't had any real season in a long time. You live with your RAD DOCTOR UNCLE, the only remaining member of your family who is still alive, in a large apartment in downtown. You moved here a few years ago because its much closer to your doctors, and conversely closer to your uncles work.

You suffer from a RARE GENETIC DISORDER called OCULAR ALBINISM A1, which basically means you have COOL RED EYES that are incredibly sensitive to light and don’t work very well at all. You are forced to wear a pair of dark sunglasses at all times lest you BURN YOUR FUCKING EYES OUT with no warning. You are also prone to massive headaches and times when your eyes stop functioning entirely leaving you completely blind for large gaps of time. In fact according to the specialist who sees you every month or so, it’s a MIRACLE that you can still see at all. You've probably only got maybe a year or two until you go COMPLETELY BLIND.

Other than that little bit of misfortune you’re a relatively normal kid living a relatively normal life, well other than the fact that you basically were forced to raise yourself after THE ACCIDENT, which killed your parents when you were a small lass. While your uncle is pretty much a genius, he sort of sucks at personal interaction and your usually left to your own devices as long as you make sure your homeschooling work is done on time. Your appreciation for DARK ROOMS is only trounced by your love of ALL THINGS ANCIENT AND OUTDATED, which brings us to your variety of INTERESTS. A cool chick like you is sure to have plenty of interests unrelated to surviving as a near blind social outcast!

You have a penchant for kicking the shit out of training dummies at the local Dojo with your AWESOME KUNG-FU SKILLS, which have been beaten into you since childhood, after your Uncle realized one day you were going to be going blind and needed a way to protect yourself that didn't rely on sight. You have a PASSION FOR SWEETS unrivaled by any person you have ever met, and are willing to go to nigh unimaginable lengths to get your hand on the rare sliver of sweet stuff that passes through. You are an AMATEUR PROGRAMMER AND GAME DESIGNER and operate your own AWESOME SERVERS for multiple games (Mostly PC based since they can usually be programmed to have voice to text input) and code in your spare time (which is also something that can be done sans sight). Along with this you also maintain an internet presence on multiple sights where you chill with your friends, who don't even know half of your problems. You like to be OVERLY FRIENDLY and are probably the most willing to listen to your various friends problems and try and help calm them down or solve them.

So maybe you cover up your own insecurities and personal foibles by focusing on others but you don't see that as being a big problem. Obviously complaining about your issues is just something a crybaby would do, after all YOU ARE THE ADMIN and no admin goes complaining to people on the internet. That isn't to say that you think other people are stupid for coming to you with their problems, what it means is that you think you are to be held to a higher standard, one that involves NOT BEING A BITCH about STUPID SHIT. Other than that you are a very calm level headed person, except of course when someone: Mocks your blindness, hurts your friends, or FUCKING SUCKS AT VIDEO GAMES AND MAKES YOU ENDURE THAT SHIT.
