Description
I've started having nightmares about when I was a kid, living in a box in an alley on Nar Shaddaa. I'm scared... Scared of falling asleep and waking up in that box, that all this, Mom, and Jae, that it was all just a dream, and I'm still living in that hellhole, it terrifies me sometimes, I find myself panicking, especially when Mom and Jae are away... It's not the squalor that scares me, nor the cold, or having to scrounge for scraps of food in garbage... It's the loneliness. I think if I woke up in that box, I'd just curl up and die, I can't take being alone anymore... Orchid Shara, diary, late-teens / early-adult, developing signs of post-traumatic stress relating to memories of her childhood before meeting Quinn.Β-------
More Star Wars OC AU art, separate but related to the Meeting Destiny comic, featuring Orchid, back before she met Quinn, all alone on Nar Shaddaa...
She has no memory of her parents, she doesn't know if she was orphaned or abandoned, she doesn't even know her name, the earliest years of her life were spent alone, living in a box, in an alley behind a low-rate eatery, surviving off of the scraps they threw out, keeping herself hidden from the scum and villainy that fester on the Smuggler's Moon.
It's a horrible place, huh, so much garbage and rusted metal, and yes, there's a body in that dumpster, the place she lives that isn't a rare occurrence as the local Hutt cartels compete for criminal supremacy, thankfully ignorant to her existence.Β
When Quinn takes her in her life get's so much better, the two form an unbreakable bond as Quinn adopts her as her daughter, and for the remainder of her childhood years her past is put largely to the back of her mind, however as she grows up and begins to contemplate independence she starts to revisit the memories of her childhood...
Her childhood has a large effect on her personality, she's very dependent, clingy, and prone to stress, anxiety, panic, and depression, especially when she's alone, she frequently suffers nightmares (she can't sleep alone), and panic attacks (Quinn found the first panic attack she witnessed to be a very traumatic experience, as she struggled to calm Orchid down having never experienced anything like that)... However despite her horrible start in life Orchid is a very loving girl, and is incredibly affectionate (thanks largely to Quinn and Jaeriel's loving care), desperate to be loved. When near her family or friends, especially Quinn or Jaeriel, she couldn't be happier.
(p.s. Jaeriel belongs to the awesome rayn44 and the amazing SlingBlade87
Anyhow, that's that, hope ya'll like, feedback greatly appreciated, more to come soon! ;w;

I just got a good look at this and I really want to offer her some comfort because she obviously needs it.
I can only imagine how bad those panic attacks must have been for her.
The bright side though is that it only gets better for her ultimately.
Also, silly question, but is the shading directly above her crate meant to look like an X-wing or is that just me?

Aye, that she does, poor girl... I wonder if Jaeriel's seen this, perhaps caught a glimps of Orchid's mind, maybe unintentionally, and how she'd feel knowing Orchid's fear?
True. ^_^
Ah, the rust patch! I didn't even notice, it was just meant to be a patch of rust, but now I can't stop seeing an X-wing! XD Maybe my subconcious is a genius and did that delibirately, but I'm to dumb to know? XD

Well Jaeriel is nothing if not the product of her parents, and while her psychic abilities are not as powerful or potent as her father's or sister's she's inherited the equal parts tender and strong hearts of both her parents and would no doubt do everything she could to reassure and comfort Orchid, especially as they grew older and closer together.
Heh, well honestly i thought you put that there intentionally as an allusion to her later fate in life and specifically who would save her from this life.

*spirit shows up as a vision as Orchid sleeps* "The Force is with you, young one... I forsee that you will not lead this sort of life for very long. Take heart in what I say: trust in the Force."
