She can come across as cocky and sarcastic at times, partly because of her family's wealth and status, but also as a defense mechanism developed from her experiences with bullying.
While Agatha can be sarcastic and biting in her humour, she's also fiercely loyal to those she cares about and will go to great lengths to protect them. Her experiences with bullying have made her somewhat hostile towards those she perceives as a threat, but she's not inherently violent or cruel. She values intelligence and cunning.

Family & Backstory
Agatha Crowley was born into a wealthy and prestigious pure-blood family known for their diplomatic skills and trading. Her father always wanted a son to carry on the family name and legacy, but instead, he was disappointed to have a daughter. As a result, Agatha was neglected by her father and most of her extended family. Only her mother showed her affection and attention, taking care of her and even allowing her to play with muggle children in their neighborhood.
Agatha's childhood was rough due to her family's neglect and the bullying she experienced from muggle children because of her unnatural hair and eye color. To cope, she became rebellious and defiant, refusing to wear skirts and acting more like a boy to try and please her father.
Despite not showing any signs of magical ability, Agatha's maternal grandfather, a Siamese man who was skilled in Muay Thai, taught her martial arts from a young age. Agatha fell in love with the discipline and art of fighting and trained vigorously with her grandfather.
At the age of 15 Agatha's magical abilities finally awakened, and she received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts, Though she possessed traits of a Gryffindor, her ambitious nature led her to be sorted into Slytherin, much to her family's relief.
In Hogwarts, Agatha's skills in martial arts proved to be an asset in her studies, especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, her troubled past and lack of parental guidance caused her to develop a rude, sarcastic, and mean personality, often pushing people away with her hostile behavior.
Despite this, Agatha remained fearless and savage, always ready to fight for what she believed in, and became a force to be reckoned with in both academics and combat.

Introduction!!
My name is Awkwa, and I am a artist who's still trying to improve!!
Pronouns are She/her
Proud Trinidadian 🇹🇹
Now about what I will be posting and my skills:
I am going to post digital art, Reposting is only allowed WITH CREDIT.
I decided to use Tumblr because I see a lot of artists using this app. My goal is to show people what I can do!.. even though I can't do much. I just want to try and see what others think about my creations, and to see what I can improve! I am VERY insecure about my artsyle, I'm not the best with anatomy. Also I am personally Better at traditional art than Digital, so my digital art will look a bit weird.
☆Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks !!
☆Thank you for viewing!! Wishing you all the best!!

Two more Dislyte OCs! Thora and Odeion!
1// THORA
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dislyte OC Thora for Dislyte! She is the twin sister of Iridiana as you know, and her power of lightning comes from Cymbeline, her ancestor.
I decided to use him because she bears his aspect in her own story and I'm probably not gonna give him a Dislyte alt.
This is a revamp of an outfit Thora wore last year! The template is made by me based on Dislyte's templates.
2// ODEION (Real Name: Lilas)
Tumblr media
Odeion is an old OC from Caleida's story as well, originally a Dartainan citizen born in Dartaina to two Ilmadan parents. As such, he is a Trinidadian coded Soca singer.
I decided to keep the Trinidadian coded Soca Singer aspect of him for Dislyte alt too. On stage he is the superstar Odeion, known for his high energy performances. But in his everyday life he is Lilas, a quiet and shy, soft and sweet guy. In his dislyte alt, he is a member of the Esper Union as well, with a huge crush on Falken.
Alioune is the Ilmadan deity of Justice and Secrets, so it's no surprise that he resonated with Odeion
(ALL MY DISLYTE OCS’ GODS ARE OCS BC I DONT WANNA CLASH W THE CANON, CURRENT OR FUTURE, OF DISLYTE, OR OFFEND ANY OTHER CULTURE ACCIDENTALLY. With the exception of Thora and Domi, the gods the ocs are based on are themselves ocs who were based on Trinidadian traditional carnival characters)
PS. I updated Thora’s twin sister Iridiana’s Dislyte splash art as well
