Risotto

Risotto is reserved, dreamy, and thoughtful, carrying himself with the soft tiredness of someone who has been through far more than he says out loud. After being rejected and exiled from Heaven, he became quieter and more careful, but not broken. He still wants redemption, not because he thinks he is worthless without Heaven’s approval, but because some part of him still believes his divine grace can be reclaimed, reshaped, or understood on his own terms. He tends to watch before he speaks, taking in the room with half-lidded eyes and a calm expression, but he is usually paying much more attention than people realize. His exile left him with a deep need to understand why things happened the way they did, and his curiosity often pushes him to question old traditions, moral rules, and heavenly beliefs that others were too afraid to challenge.

He is sweet, but not in a loud or overly cheerful way. His kindness is quieter. It shows in the way he remembers small details, writes about people he cares for, notices when someone seems upset, and tries to understand pain instead of judging it. Risotto has always been deeply empathetic, and even after everything Heaven put him through, he still tries to meet people with compassion. That does not mean he is endlessly soft or easy to push around, though. He can be blunt, deadpan, and a little sarcastic when he feels comfortable, especially when someone says something foolish or hypocritical. His resilience is not dramatic or flashy. It is in the fact that he keeps going, keeps learning, and keeps trying to become someone gentler than the world allowed him to be.

Socially, Risotto can be nervous, withdrawn, and easily overwhelmed. His ADHD, anxiety, and autism make the world feel too loud, too fast, and too difficult to sort through at times. He struggles with focus, sensory overload, and understanding the unspoken rules of other people, which can make him seem distant or uninterested when he is actually just trying to keep himself together. Because of bullying, discrimination, and the way he was treated before and after his fall, he carries low self-esteem and internalized transphobia that he is still slowly working through. Around friends, though, he becomes warmer and easier to read. He keeps his calm, sleepy attitude, but lets more of himself show through tiny jokes, thoughtful comments, shy honesty, and the occasional sentence so sincere it makes everyone pause for a second.

When Risotto fell onto earth, he found himself in a small farm town, where he always felt like an outsider. He was an angel that literally fell out of the sky, which made some people fear that he was a bad omen, or there to hurt them. It was a conservative and religious community, and he faced constant discrimination and harassment. He was called names, mocked, and bullied by his neighbors. He was told that he was unnatural, sinful, and wrong. He had no friends, and he felt alone and misunderstood.

He often escaped into his imagination, where he could be himself and explore different worlds. He loved reading books, especially fantasy and sci-fi genres, and he was inspired by the stories and characters he encountered. He also discovered his love for photography and art at a young age, and he used them as a way to express himself and cope with his loneliness. He drew pictures to express his feelings, his dreams, his struggles, and his hopes. He captured pictures of things he related to. He felt it was his true form of expression.

He dreamt about being free and happy in heaven again, not realizing it was even worse up there.

He wanted to move to a big city, where he could find acceptance and pursue his passion. He wanted to live in a place where he could be himself, without fear or judgment. He wanted to meet other people like him, who understood him and supported him. He wanted to study literature and become a famous writer. He wanted to share his stories and poems with the world, and make a difference with his words. He wanted to live a life that was true to himself.
