Gravity, Character Outline – Inkli
“Her name was Holli, though I affectionately referred to her as, “Inkli”, amongst our own private communications. The name had no reference, or inference. I tried to send her a text message, when we had first met, but my dictionary did not recognize “Holli”, and instead suggested, “Inkli”. The name stuck.
Inkli, like me, was a loner. She preferred the sanctity of her own mind, and this often shone through in my attempts at speaking with her, as her responses were often so long in coming, and so broken up in thought, that it was clear that she drifted in and out frequently.”
(Super friendly, nice to everyone, but often taken for rude because of her regular drifting in and out of conversation. This also causes her to frequently pick up on conversations at strange times, and say interesting things. Sometimes seems to read minds. Also has a tendency to have different focus, or to concentrate on the less prominent. Possible current or past relationship between Inkli and Tisdale, though you, will never know. She is of Native American background, though sometimes mistaken for Asian.)
“The black rifts in the sky, procured a certain dread in me that I would struggle to explain to you. Each morning I awoke, and looked out the window, expecting a sunrise. No sunrise now existed; only the deafening blackness of the rift. “Experts”, had said on many occasions that they were close to a solution… but I had little hope for it. To me, these black holes sucked in more than just light, or matter, or air, or dirt. They swallowed my hope. To gaze into the blackness of one of these, was to stare into the blackened, cauterized, heart, of ever inevitable fate.
“Beautiful aren’t they?” Inkli’s voice by my side, jarred my
out of my thoughts.
“I certainly wouldn’t say so!” My voice revealed my shock.
“What about this is beautiful to you?!”
“You don’t need to be so negative! Just look at the patterns
here! These must have taken months to sew!”
“Huh? Oh…" I had not realized that while the rest of us had been gazing up at the sky, Inkli had been admiring the stacks of handmade vests in the corner. Maria was gazing pleasantly at Inkli, a shadow of a smirk on her face.?
having some trouble with the formatting pasting correctly to SC... so dont worry about that.
