Remember Who You Are
The characters beneath this title are characters that represent who I am. Though both are vastly different, they each showcase a part of me. Remember Who You Are has always been a special quote for me; coming from my favorite movie The Lion King. I've always believed that, no matter who you become, a big part of life is remembering who you were; and thus reminding yourself of who you are.
I don't believe we are always necessarily proud of the person we are, and that is why we continue to change and grow throughout our lives. But, each version of ourselves makes up the person we are in the end and it's important to remember each one.
Dux represents a more adventurous, out-going and confident side of myself that I wish I was. I have never been entirely confident in my appearance or my personality, and Dux is. I also love that his simple design hides such a complex personality. Adventure, freedom, life are all things I enjoy; though maybe not as fully as I could. Dux, meanwhile, is an occasionally overconfident male that takes life as it comes and always aims to impress himself above anyone else. While I don't wish to be a male, by any means (I'm fine being a girl, thanks!), I imagine Dux is who I would be if I was a male. While I would like to be him as a woman too, I felt it fitting it set him up as what I know I would more-than-likely be as the opposite gender.
Sasha is definitely more of what I am. While I haven't lived through war, I do consider myself a fighter and a survivor. I've experienced things, particularly oriented around losing loved ones to drugs, that have made me wary of trusting others and a very sarcastic person. I tend to push others away, and rarely do I let anyone into my heart without very good reason. My family is incredibly important to me, and no one comes before them. I can be civil with those I don't like, but I'm also pretty good at letting others know when I dislike them. I actually have been diagnosed bi-polar and with depression; though I don't have PTSD. Her dark colors, with the splash of light, remind me of myself as well because I tend to be quiet, subdued and a "mystery" before I allow my colors to shine through!
Ultimately, remembering who you are is a deep part of who I am; as are these two characters. Even if they are just pixels.
