Hi everyone!
This is a journal about my Miraculous OC - Parrot. I update the journal every time I design something new and have new ideas :> Enjoy reading!

Idea

The idea of this character came up to my mind in March 2016 (during Easter break), when I decided to make little gifts and draw my real-life friends as Miraculous superheroes:
Miraculous Girls! by waterparrotgirl   Ania by waterparrotgirl


I also drew myself there, and this is a first drawing of that OC.
So, as you see, this character is about 90% based on myself (very original, I know xD)


Why parrot? Bacause had pet parrots in real life. I used to have two budgerigars, they're both gone now, but one of them was alive when I was creating my OC and was my main inspiration (she died one year afrer I created the OC).
Also, I like colorful stuff and I wanted my design to be colorful. And parrots are colorful too. So yeah.

Why sunglasses? Because I freaking LOVE sunglasses! I have four pairs and I always wear one on my head as a "head-band", even if there's no sun, it's very comfortable for me. So why not make the sunglasses Miraculous? It's maybe not a jewelerry, but it's also something that can be worn every day xD

Why badminton? Because it's probably the only sport I really love playing (it doesn't mean that I'm good at it, but that I really enjoy playing that!) I used to play with my friends very often when we were younger, and we were pretending that badminton rackets are lightsabers xD So, it can be a powerful weapon.

Why those colours? I am Aquarius, and Turquise is my stone, when it comes to zodiac sign, so almost all the jewelerry I have is turquise xD It's probably my favourite colour ever, and my favourite stone :D And about purple, I think I was influenced by W.I.T.C.H. girls' outfits, there was a mix of turquise, purple and green :>
Some of you might say that there are no parrots in those colours, but I did a little research and found some that are quite similar:

 

Bio

Name: Ann? <-still working on that
Age: same as Marinette (about 15 years old)
Height: a little shorter than Marinette
Eye colour: turquise-blue, (purple-pink after transformation)
Hair colour: dark blonde, (pink ombre after transformation)


Appearance

She is a short girl, with round face, blue eyes, and straight dark-blonde hair with a parting on the side, sunglasses on her head. She likes to wear colorful comfortable clothes and doesn't really care about fashion. She especially likes striped shirts, denim jackets and trainers. I usually draw her in a blue-striped shirt.

After transformation her eyes become purple, her hair becomes longer, with pink ombre. She wears turquise mask (with green/yellow sides) that covers the tip of her nose (like Chat's mask), and a full-body shiny suit in colours of turquise, purple on legs, and yellow on the torso. Her arms are turquise, and there are holes for fingers on her hands (like gloves). She has long nails with pink nail polish (same color as her hair).

Personality

She is a friendly and veeery talkative girl (parrots, duh). She sometimes talks too much, and says too much and falls into uncomfortable situations because of that. Although she is quite open, she isn't really an extrovert, she prefers to spend time with a group of a few true friends than with lots of strangers. She is quite lazy sometimes, and doesn't always have good grades, but when she really likes the subject, she can be the best in the class. She more trusts her heart than facts and science, but sometimes she has problems with quieting her mind.

As a superhero, she is not that open. Unlike Ladybug and Chat who are more confident after the transformation, she becomes more quiet and focused. This doesn't mean that she doesn't speak or anything, she just doesn't like to be in the centre of attention. If there was a battle, she would probably be a kind of back support, not the leader.

Interests/abilities

She grew up in a musical family, so she really likes music. She can play the guitar and sing, although she doesn't usually do it in public. She finds it easier to remamber things by music and repeatitions. She always "plays" songs in her head and imagines stuff while listening to music, but she doesn't like to wear headphones (she has music in her head, and thinks that headphones distract her from the sounds of reality). She likes to ride a bike, although she is not a sporty type of person. When she was younger she belived in fairies and magic, so it was an awesome surprise for her when she grew up and realised that Miraculous exist.
She finds it easy to learn new languages, and she also can understand foreign languages, even without knowing them (you know, that moment when you understand the context, but you can't repeat it, or say something in that language). She doesn't like science, maths, physics, and any of scientific subjects. And history. Ugh. 



Kwami

Her kwami's name is Tweena (Thank you very much Clair-Oswin-Oswald for the idea; I decided to call her "Tweena" instead of "Twina", because kwami names usually hava a "doubled letter" xD)
Tweena is a turquise parrot kwami with green wings and tail, orange beak and pink eyes. Her favourite food is watermelon!  
I imagine that she is a new kwami, that was "born" in modern times (not like Tikki or Plagg, who always existed), but a new Miraculous, and Ann is her first chosen. So the kwami is unexperienced and they both have to learn from each other :> Tweena is probably even more excited about everything than her owner, so she also usually does stupid things xD
Also, according to urbandictionary.com "tweena" is: "A verb meaning to drop something you're trying to eat on the ground or on yourself.", so it may suit her personality; she may be a crazy watermelon eater, that she accidently drops it, hahaha


Miraculous

Her Miraculous is the pair of sunglasses. Normally the sunglasses are white, with black glasses, but after the transformation they become pink with purple glasses. There is also a "badminton-racket-thingy" symbol on each side of the sunglasses, that consists on 5 elements. Those elements symbolise the five minutes she has left after using her superpower and before transforming back to normal.

Weapon

Her weapon is a purple badminton racket with a pink shiny net. She can compact the racket and put it on her back when she doesn't use it (something like Inquisitors from Star Wars Rebels do with their lightsabers xD)
When she waggles it very quickly in front of her, the light of the net creates a kind of temporary shield (although she can't keep it as long as Ladybug, she can't spin the racket in her hands).
She also has the colorful shuttlecock (or shuttlecocks?) she "shoots" with the help of the racket as a long distance weapon.
She can turn the net of the racket into the screen and use it as a tablet/tracker/phone/skype/camera/whatever she needs xD

Powers

She has the power to fly very quickly, so she doesn't need to jump or climp.
For her superpower (like Lucky Charm or Cataclysm): because parrots are good at repeating things, she could have an ability to "replay" events while looking at certain things. For example, there was a burglary in the store, so she can look at this store and use her power, and for a small amout of time she can "see" what happend in this place before. I think it's similar to what Hay Lin from WITCH was doing in comics; by hearing sounds she could see the past of certain objects. But I'm still working on it xD

FAQ

Can I draw her?
Of course you can, I will be very happy! La la la la  Just keep the drawing PG and credit me in the description! Heart 

Can I use her in my story/fanfic/comic etc?
You can make up your own stories (I can't stop you from that), but I might not approve some of other people's ideas and stories and include them in Parrot's bio. This is my character and I'm still working on her story (I know I'm very slow though). So it would be the best if you ask me first. Of course, I will never approve any non-PG ideas :> And, of course, you need to credit me if you want to use her in any way :>

I wanted to make a Parrot OC too, but I saw yours and I don't know what to do!
Just go for it, make your OC! I know that making Miraculous characters might be hard, because there is a limited choice of animals, and there is probably no animal that hadn't been used at least once. I don't mind people making other parrots, as long they don't copy my ideas (which hasn't happened yet, and I'm very happy because of that ^^).  Use other OCs as inspiration, but DON'T copy them! Just be creative and make your OC unique!



 "Miraculous Ladybug" belongs to Zagtoon and Thomas Astruc.
This character is my creation and belongs to me Heart
