Description Fiona (left) and Iline (right) York. They're not so much two separate characters, but rather just one. FionaandIline, not Fiona and Iline. Villains.


This is my entry for the Glass contest; I hope you guys like it! I've learned a lot by drawing this - now I'm better at shading and drawing clothes! Yay! Okay I've emoted too much over this description by now. Good luck to me XD

Here's my backstory, I actually have two because I didn't really like one, but that one described them better so.... here we go. 

    Fiona and Iline York can supposably communicate telepathically. They can do this through emotions, certain memory-triggering places/things, or pain.

    They also go through periods when they seem to completely trade off their consciousnesses. Fiona becomes and acts like Ilina for a day, minute, month, or hour, but she’s in a completely different body.

    When they were younger they learned about the theories about twins and how they might be telepathically connected. Through the recognition of this, they developed a bond between them that might go deeper than what most sibling bonds are.

    Their mother died when they were young and their father had become distant with them, having fallen into a cycle of drug addiction to cope with her death. When they were in their early teens, they had gotten mixed up with one of the drug dealers who supplied their father. He offered Fiona and Iline a job in order for them to survive. Fiona and Iline accepted and became tied up in the underground drug system within their city.

    They survived like this up until present day, and recently a self proclaimed “hero” has started messing up their system. Xhe has started messing with their business, but Fiona and Iline need the money to support their father, who is currently in a coma in the hospital. In order to support him they have to do terrible things, but they justify them because the actions, crimes, and deplorable terrors they commit are saving their father.

    They do believe they have powers above other humans. This is what got them to present day; believing that they can’t be bested by others. They have a system of emotions or pain induced memories that they use to communicate over long distance. But does this system actually work, or is it just a childhood fantasy that they still harbor to this day?


OTHER BACKSTORY:

    Fiona and Iline York. Identical twins, born two minutes apart on July 16, 1994. They shared the same paralyzing fear on 9/11. They shared the same joy when they both turned eighteen and became legal adults. They both shared the same crushing burden of plain sadness and despair when they sat by their mother’s side as she was slowly killed by cancerous tumors in her lungs. They both cried for days after the funeral. They both hardened their hearts when their father distanced himself from them and relied on drugs and painkillers instead of his daughters to cope with his wife’s death. They made their determination into hard steel when they entered the underworld to survive.

    They’ve always been by each other’s sides. They’ve shared the same emotions, whether it be for the better or for the worse.

    So who’s to say that they can’t influence each other’s feelings?

    Fiona and Iline York supposably possess the power to influence each other emotionally, no matter how close or far apart they are. This has saved each other many times when a bolt of pure fear would shoot through the both of them simultaneously, alerting each other to what was happening.

    After their mother’s death, their father fell into depression, and began to use drugs as a way to relieve the pain of losing his wife. He was hospitalized after a drug overdose, and the medical bills kept piling up on Fiona and Iline. Fiona and Iline had to learn to live on their own at an early age. They became tied up in the underworld systems of drug dealers and corrupt street gangs in order to support their father, who relied on them to survive. When a self-proclaimed hero started messing with their system and jeopardizing their income to support their father, Fiona and Iline had to take action in order to keep their father alive.

    They’ve had to commit terrible acts, yes, but they justified it in the sense that it was keeping their father alive.
