Elara Mulligan- Side Girl Showcase (Sk8r Grl)

Hey guys! For today's showcase, I thought we would dip into a character that some have thought feels more like a main girl than one of the main girls; Elara Mulligan! On that note, just know Elara is not a main girl, she is just a good filler in place of Winter for now- Elara may not be a main girl but she's closer to MC- and the story- than most of the other SGs. Anyway, here are some fun facts about her!

• Elara has been skating since she was a young girl, around the time she was 8. Due to family situations, she was mostly raised by her 3 older brothers and was mostly influenced by her youngest older brother Theo, who got her into skating, among other “boyish” things.

• Elara is the only girl on the cast who openly smokes. However, she doesn't smoke for fun - she smokes in place of a past addiction. I don't want to get too far into this because it will be covered in the story, and be a part of her path- expect a lot deeper of a character than the “cool and calm goth girl” type.

• Her taste in music is very much what you'd expect from a skater girl. Emo/pop punk is her favorite of the bunch, but she will basically listen to anything - even having a secret love for 80s pop stars. She would never admit it, though. (Lampy fact - her last name came from the second word of my favorite band)

I came into making OA knowing I wanted a goth girl, and dammit, I was going to get a goth girl. While Elara is not your typical AVN goth girl, instead more of a punk type, I feel she still fills the role - opting to be more of a badass type vs. a moody type. I still wish I had put in a true goth, but I still love Elara a lot and have a lot planned for her. Also, for those who thought her blowing mc was out of nowhere, I will tell you again- there's a lot unsaid in this game so far, and MCs memory is ASS.

Sorry it's been a while since my last one, guys! I've had a lot of stuff happen recently and have been struggling, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Expect another showcase soon to make up for the missing ones.

Thank you guys,

Lampy
