Flora-Maya (An Oc From A Script Im Writing) Was Written As An Idealized Version Of Myself (at Least At
Flora-Maya (An oc from a script I’m writing) was written as an idealized version of myself (at least at the start). The story follows the perspective of half of the runaways but leaves some out for the purpose of letting the reader learn things about some of the characters the way we do in real life rather than understanding every character the way they view themselves. Flora-Maya is one of the characters we get to know through Missy (and another character)’s perspective rather than through herself.
Missy has always idolized FA as a strong weathered veteran to seam so unaffected by any difficulties she faced and a prodigy in the way she excels in everything they failed at. As the story progresses, and the pair begin to get in touch with other people, FA finally finds herself in a space where she’s comfortable enough to react to everything she’s dealt with and Missy is forced to face and cope with the fact that for their entire friendship/childhoods she and Flora-Maya have known each other inside out but not understood each other.
Flora-Maya faced a lot of change growing up- her parents died when she was only 3, her grandmother took over only to die 2 years later and she experienced 2 moves with her first and second foster families before she came to settle in with the Knights. Because of this, she’s very versatile and flexible but resistant to forming close bonds to anyone except Missy. To cope with a lot of the loneliness and boredom that came with these traits, Flora-Maya created large, elaborate, detailed daydreams to distract herself. She had an imaginary friend she took from her favourite book who would follow her everywhere and do the things she didn’t want to do (like chores) and speak up when she didn’t want to. When she meets Missy at 6, the daydreaming continues, but her imaginary friend is replaced by her first real one who behaves similarly to the person she made up and always listened to the stories she made up when she was bored.
Aside from being a maladaptive daydreamer, Flora-Maya is also very nihilistic. Because of the many changes in her life and her lack of control over them paired with her foster parents’ habit of blaming any misfortune that occurred around them on her, FA comes to the conclusion that very little changes regardless of what you do. This view rubs off on Missy a lot later on in their childhood and the pair of them very differently. FA grows a lack of regard for worry and judgement, she becomes a very spontaneous and inconsequential person, doing whatever she likes so long as it doesn’t harm anyone.
Resultantly, while FA is a lot more aware of social cues and expectations than Missy, she often disregards them. For example, Flora-Maya often had a disinterest in doing what she was supposed to in lessons, often bringing activities (like books and knitting equipment) to school to complete during lessons she considered irrelevant/unimportant and wasn’t afraid to do things that were abnormal like randomly sitting on the floor in public if her legs got tired. She wore brightly coloured clothes that may not look good together if they felt particularly comfortable or she was fond of them.
From Missy’s perspective of her this might come off a bit manic pixie dream girl-esque but I promise she’s a lot more complex than that and has a number of reasons for every choice she makes throughout the script- I love her so much and she’s so complex and precious and strong

❗️❗️EMERGENCY FUNDS: I need help with Medical Bills And Equipment ❗️❗️
Howdy Y'all, please share my story with me at least a little, I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in February 2019 after being very sick and I weighed 88 lbs. For the last two and a half years I have had to inject insulin 4+ times for day every day, to stay within my blood glucose level.
In December 2020 I was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery where I had to stay at home for the entire period of my illness without working, and I also had DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.
In the picture, the devices you see are the ones that are needed to control my diabetes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays an important role in helping sugar (glucose), the main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternative fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if left untreated.
Three months later in March 2021 I finally got to see an endocrinologist, who specializes in Type 1 Diabetes. Who told me that an insulin pump would be a good device for me?
I was recently approved for an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I am approved the hardest part is coming up with the funds to pay for the pump and equipment.
