dan_qing155 for Sarah Diamonte
An 18 year old stenographer. Born blind, Sarah has known the feeling of being avoided and stared for as long as she could remember. Finding solace in books, she fell in love with snarky and strong female characters, shaping much of how she interacts with the world around her. Sharp minded with a sharp tongue, most people pass her off as being kind and intelligent, but the few that are close to her know how funny and observant she really is.
“You’re really willing to teach me to dance? You’re aware I can’t see, right? I’d rather not trample over your feet because I’m not exactly graceful. You were there when I ran into the wall the other day.”
“You’ve got a very soothing voice… you sound surprised. Do you not get compliments about your voice?”
“I’d say ‘I see’ but that’s kind of a self deprecating joke. I can’t see you, but from what you say, I can understand how being seen at face value can feel worse than not being seen at all.”
