Jaxy Rai and Rhiannon D'or

[strangetomato]

I started fleshing out a little more of Jaxy's past (and Zoe's too) for an upcoming chapter, since I've been thinking about it for a while and it all came together for me recently. I've always had an idea of what Jaxy's story was, but I actually jotted down some specific notes this time. Jaxy now has a mother, who she'll probably visit at some point (out of guilt and obligation). She doesn't know her father, so I didn't even bother to create him. Her story is fairly dark, as I've mentioned before, but I did find a little light in there too.







Here's Jaxy as a teen. She runs away from home during this time, and lives on the streets until she meets Rhiannon.




Rhi doesn't live on the streets, but only because she's taken residence in an abandoned building.




So, for a while, Jaxy does too.

There's more to the story, of course, but I'll leave it at that for now. Rhiannon does play a significant role in her life, while she's in it (yes, that's the key point, right there).






Here's a better look at her. I'm pretty happy with her design. I took an older sim I created for a prosperity challenge and further developed and exaggerated her features. I'm really liking her wide mouth.

The name is a product of all the Fleetwood Mac I've been listening to lately. It's also just a pretty name, and referencing a goddess is always a good thing for a character. D'or is french for gold, and the Rhiannon of Welsh mythology was described as being dressed in gold in one of the stories. I thought it had a nice ring to it. I gave her gold eyeshadow to continue the theme.

This will come up again several updates down the road.

I love that name! And that song! <3!

Your Rhi is so pretty. She looks so raggedy and cute. I love her mouth.

Rhiannon is very cute, I also liked her mouth! The name is lovely too!

So I guess this girl will be related to Jaxy's problems. Poor girl, considering Jaxy once tried to commit suicide, something really awful must had happened to them back then.

Oooh yay! I love Jaxy. She's awesome. :D Knowing more about her past would be awesome. Love Rhi, she's so pretty! :D

I love how interesting looking Jaxy looks, even as a teen.

Rhiannon looks interesting - very young, wideeyed teen look, especially with the oversized mouth. I think it makes her look a bit gawky.

The first thing that drew me in was Rhiannon's eyes. I don't know why but they just did.

I love seeing the back stories for sims and I really want to know what happened, other than just life in general, that had Rhiannon be such a short spark in Jaxy's life.

Honestly, I find Jaxy a lot more interesting than Zoe. Zoe seems spoiled to me. Almost as if she's playing this "lesbian thing" because she's in college and wants to be cool. I hope that this isn't the case as I don't want to see Jaxy hurt, but it would make it interesting story wise and more realistic.

What a cutie!!! As always, can't wait for more updates!!

Rhiannon is amazingly beautiful. I love her eyes, her mouth... You really made her look wonderful! (I'm gushing because she looks so cool.)

I also love how her name connects to itself, I love when things work out that way. I should have given Sil a name that matched with her last name.

Is that the normal Light Blue, or is it one of Lyran's other ones? Either way, she looks great. :)

ooo I like this teaser!

I can't wait to see Jaxy's backstory. Rhi looks very cool. She reminds me of one of my friends, if my friend were a sim.

Oh no! Your bandwidth has exceeded and I can't see the pictures! :(

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I can see the pictures okay. Maybe it was a glitch.

I love Rhia's (Rhi's?) hair! Is that the zombie hair re-done for teens? Is it on MATY? You know, I never did get my TS2 store stuff issue resolved with EA games yet, but I did learn one thing for sure this time. No more throwing good money after bad. I'm never buying another thing from that darn store!

You've made Jaxy into such an interesting character. I can't wait to see more of this backstory. I have a feeling Rhia was Jaxy's first lover? Yes? It's going to be such a touching story.

Bummer. I can't see the pictures. I'll come back later and see if the problem has been fixed. I can't wait to read more about Jaxy.

The pictures are still not showing. I'll check again tomorrow.

Rhiannon is seriously nifty-looking. Where'd you get her hair? Maxis Store, or is it in an EP I don't have?

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

Whoa! I love how Rhi looks!

[nessa-seragon.livejournal.com]

Yay, the pics are back!
