Vinyl Profile

Vinyl, a member of the Lae species, was born with vibrant green skin, her very being tied to nature. Lae are unique plant-like humanoids who draw their energy from the sun and water. They don’t need traditional food to survive, thriving instead by absorbing sunlight through their skin and hydrating with water. As a child, Vinyl’s unusual appearance made her stand out, especially in a human-dominated world. Her time in school was marked by cruel bullying, as classmates teased her for her green skin, photosynthetic nature, and quiet demeanor. As she grew older, the bullying became unbearable, and in her teenage years, Vinyl began skipping school, choosing solitude over torment.

During one of her school-ditching escapades, she stumbled upon an old graveyard on the outskirts of town. It was there that Vinyl met Madeline, a girl with a penchant for hanging out in eerie, quiet places. Madeline’s gothic appearance and sharp, dark sense of humor intrigued Vinyl. Their first encounters were brief, with Vinyl watching from the shadows as Madeline told jokes to herself, seemingly enjoying the solitude. Eventually, Vinyl’s curiosity got the better of her, and she started talking to Madeline, finding an unexpected comfort in the girl’s cheeky, carefree nature.

The graveyard became their sanctuary, a place where Vinyl could escape the harshness of the outside world, and Madeline found someone who understood her love for the strange and the morbid. Over time, their friendship deepened, and their contrasting personalities began to complement one another. Vinyl, with her sunny optimism and laid-back attitude, brought light to Madeline’s life, while Madeline’s witty humor and edgy, gothic sensibilities made Vinyl feel brave enough to express her own unique quirks. Vinyl’s green skin, once a source of shame, became a symbol of her uniqueness that Madeline adored. They grew inseparable, and their friendship soon blossomed into love.

As they grew older, their bond only strengthened. Vinyl’s supportive and upbeat nature proved to be the perfect foil to Madeline’s darker worldview. Where Vinyl saw beauty in nature, naps, and video games, Madeline found joy in the macabre, horror stories, and midnight adventures. They both found comfort in each other’s arms, and the graveyard that once symbolized death became a symbol of life and love for them. After a few years, Vinyl and Madeline got married, an unconventional but beautiful ceremony, surrounded by the tombstones where their love first bloomed.

Vinyl, though soft-spoken, carries an inspiring resilience. Despite her difficult childhood, she refused to let the cruelty of others define her. Instead, she found strength in her uniqueness and embraced her love for Madeline, creating a life filled with joy, love, and acceptance. Her positive energy and unwavering support for those she loves inspire others, showing that no matter how different you are, there is always a place where you can find love and belonging.

Outside of her relationship with Madeline, Vinyl has a few key loves: naps, video games, and the simple pleasures in life. After a long day soaking up the sun, she enjoys curling up in a cozy spot for a nap, recharging her energy in peace. Video games have also become a passion for Vinyl. The immersive worlds allow her to escape, offering a safe space where she can connect with other players and feel accepted in ways she never experienced in her school years.

Though generally kind-hearted, Vinyl has strong dislikes—particularly when it comes to raisins, itchy clothing, and bullies. Her distaste for raisins stems from the fact that as a plant being, the texture of dried-out fruit feels unnatural to her. Itchy clothing irritates her sensitive skin, which thrives in soft, breathable fabrics. Bullies, however, are her biggest pet peeve, and she has zero tolerance for those who try to bring others down. Having faced bullying herself, Vinyl is fiercely protective of the vulnerable, standing up for those who are picked on or marginalized.

Vinyl’s story is a testament to finding beauty in differences, overcoming hardship, and the power of love in even the unlikeliest of places. She continues to grow, both literally and emotionally, with her roots planted firmly in the love she shares with Madeline, living a peaceful life where she can finally embrace who she is.
