Planet Ripple, Minnow's World Trailer
Alekss for Minnow/ Main Lead
Minnow is a 20-something autistic cyborg woman who's been through a lot. Born with four stumps, she needs prosthetic limbs to get around. She's the type who has a naturally pleasant if quirky voice, but speaks in a fairly jaded, "Whatever you say man," way. Not very chipper and sometimes falling into bouts of depression, she speaks plainly and has moments of frustration with other people who frequently fail to understand her needs. This isn't one of those stories where an autistic character has that "one special talent" like counting faster than a computer that redeems them in peoples' eyes. Minnow's just trying to make it through the day like anyone else, and wants to be trusted to make her own choices.
I've got something different in my head. My brain, it doesn't work like
other peoples' brains do. I've probably always been this way.I'm always disconnected. It feels like I'm watching someone else's arms and legs do what my brain tells them to.
I hear the way people talk about me. They'd say "She shouldn't have to make a decision like that on her own! Someone like her, she could so easily be taken advantage of!" and I am so sick of being spoken of like I'm five years old.
I'm pretty sure this one is just spam.
