Name?

Hello world!

Sorry, I accidentally missed a week!

Still practicing my character and figuring our her back story and all of that. I realized that as an artist I have to practice from different angles, like how they show in the books. It took some thinking, but this is what I got. Of course, the head is attached to a BODY, but I already know (somewhat) how to draw in profiles and stuff. Been doing it for most of my life, after all. (Sorry my pics are so bad as usual but you can still see it, right?)

I have figured out, through lots of daydreaming, that she is actually quite amazing. She has a ton of talents, like art, dancing, instruments, etc. but most people don't know that because she can't talk. I had the idea and it wasn't strange because I have a cousin who has problems with his throat, so it's hard for him to eat and talk properly. (He drools all over the place, which is quite gross, but it's not like he can control that.) But what this girl has might just affect her vocal cords or something because I don't think it would be hard for her to do anything, or if it did it was extremely minimal. She just has no voice.

Then I started daydreaming from the perspective of another person, who happens to be the new kid, wondering about her. 

(The thing resting on her chair is a binder, in case you can't read what I wrote above it. I imagine her to be one of those few people that don't even bother with a bag and just have a giant binder. One of my friends did that for a year.) (Also, I drew the desk how it is in my school district, where the desk and chair are one piece.)

Something I would do, if I was the person observing her (in a non-stalker way) would maybe ask someone who's known her longer about something I noticed. Such as, why does she have a hat? For stupid reasons my district doesn't allow hats, and it is enforced by those ladies in the hallways. (As my sister said, even if you don't think they are there, they ARE. Constantly watching... *shifty eyes*) Even if this character's school allows them, it would seem strange if the girl wore the exact same hat every single day. Their friend might say something like "I've heard in the beginning she got in trouble, but eventually the staff just ignored because without it people might not even recognize her." 

And as this scene I drew, she fell asleep during class. (I'm pretty sure it's impossible for me to fall asleep in school, no matter how boring. As far as I know, I never have. I just can't. Is that good or bad?) Apparently, it was obvious she was snoozing even if she doesn't snore, but the teacher didn't even bother. Then if this person ask their friend about this, they might say something similar to "I think her grades are so good that teachers don't care if she misses certain parts of class because it wouldn't affect her." And it is TOTALLY TRUE. 

And as the title says, I still freaking need a name for her! I keep thinking "Mouse," but I don't know if that sounds close enough to a name. But I still want something that has to do with the thing that she doesn't really make much noise in general. What is something quiet that would make a good name for this girl?

Oh, and last thing. Tomorrow is Brorange's birthday! D: I actually have the idea of what to give him, and it did take thought, but I plan to get it in an untraditional way. Can I convince my mom? I'll tell about what actually happens tomorrow or whenever I can. But prob tomorrow cuz I don't have school until Monday. Yeah, that's right. Word.

(P.S.- did you notice how many parentheses are in this post?)
