My beautiful Rin is going through changes....she is not going to be so beautiful anymore. There comes a day in our lives when we must let go of our antiquated details for our characters and strive to make them less of a "Mary-Sue". You just have to be a big enough person to admit they were one to begin with before you can remedy the situation. This is a last portrait of Rin Leanna Phoenix, my first original character to not exist in some fandom. She came to be when I was 13 years old, over 11 years ago now. She went through many changes and designs, few things remaining the same except her basic appearance and a few key traits.
She always had exotic features that bordered on inhuman and unsettling, vibrant red hair, and green eyes. Her build has waxed and waned from voluptuous playmate to starving drug addict. Her details have included everything from a tribal goddess to street hooker as I gave her a long and elaborate life. It is time to either get the facts strait, or let her go. I have had so much trouble over the last three years keeping a hold on her and it really makes me sad to think my first might be at her end. I know she isn't, I can still feel her there. I just need to find the essence of Rin and try and get my hands on her before this flame dies.
