Maideneir Blog Post #4! A Gray Day Discussion!
🕑 Added 2025-02-11 23:30:29 +0000 UTCHelloooooooo Everyone!
I hope you are having an amazing day! Today I'm going to start talking about my comics that I have released. Where better to start than the first comic I ever made, A Gray Day! The picture is the chapter 12 title card and it was my favorite one I made for this comic. So what can I say about A Gray Day? I really enjoyed writing it and I learned a lot through the whole process. But I think for this post I want to focus on my favorite character in this story, Bella!
So fun story about Bella's name. As some of you may know, I make my living professionally playing the trumpet. And I named my trumpet way back when I first got it. Of course her name is Bella. So when I started writing this story I knew I had to name a character Bella and I'm happy it was Bella! Because I think she is one of the best characters in this story, and even my favorite from all the stories I've written!
What I like about Bella is her sense of morals and her kindness and compassion for others. Throughout the story, especially in the beginning, she's almost a psudo-antagonist. She's the one who pushes Gray into crossdressing. She's the one who lies to Gray to keep him with Mavis. But through it all she is trying to save the time-line. And several times she expresses how she doesn't want to be doing these things, but they are necessary. And when she finds out about what Mavis is doing she does her best to try and stop it. Even though that means that she would have to find a new way to fix the future.
She makes mistakes though the story, but she always tries to find a way to fix them. She tries to hide her feelings for Gray, but can't. And I think that makes her very compelling. She's not perfect, she has all these powers, but she still fumbles at points. But in the end she figures out the way to save Gray, now Gia. And she sacrifices herself to do it. After all the mistakes she makes, she sacrifices everything to make up for it. And that's something I really love about Bella! Also, she has hands down the cutest character design I've ever made, in my opinion! I think she was the first character I ever designed as well.
I would love to hear what you all thought about A Gray Day. Who's your favorite character? What was your favorite part? If you have any burning questions about A Gray Day, now would be the time to ask them! I will respond to any and all questions about this story!
I guess that's all for today! See ya later!!
