[original post date: November 28, 2012]ohhh my god looking at this in 2025, the era of Big Neo realized, is soooooooo,,. This is NOT how this ended up happening but my ye olde speculation is so super cute so!! ahem, below the sparkle:
✧*̥˚
i have so many headcanons about teen!Neona
also i love ridiculous hair
oKAY SO HEADCANON TIME
In case anyone doesn't know, Neo's Maci and Tory's daughter (she's canonically six years old right now) and she'll eventually become the goddess of death in the future.
so yeah, here's drawings of Neo age 13- 16
some stuff about Neo physically, in general;
`Both her parents are very tall (Maci's 6"0. Tory's 6"2) and death gods (coughKER) tend to be freakishly tall as well so a mixture of those two creates Neo's height. At around 10/11ish she'll start growing and growing and growing. She's very thin, she doesn't gain weight very easily - she's not quite so skeletal as Ker is, but, yeah, she is *very* thin; jutting hipbones and stick-legs and etc etc and that's just because she can't really gain weight her metabolism won't let her
anyway
`so neo'll be taller than Maci by the time she's 16, probably either at Tory's height or an inch taller,
`but she is somewhat self conscious of herself in that regard, so Neo, from the point where she starts to be much taller than everyone else, develops pretty terrible posture to try and be on everyone else's level. She's always slouching, almost hunched over and that's a regular thing
`she's not really one for make-up (Maci of course'll try to get her into her usual make up, the black lipstick etc) but she doesn't like the feel of it, it's annoying, so yeah, no lipstick (very thin lips anyway), she does wear mascara though
`typically she just wears black long sleeve shirts, turtlenecks or otherwise closed necklines and will alternate pant colors to give herself some sort of color, but there's not much that doesn't clash horribly with pink, so usually she just defaults to black.
`uhm okay so Neo's got ridiculous hair like riDICULOUS hair the pigtails have been her thing since she was a baby and she keeps them, it's the easiest way to keep her hair out of her face while still keeping it visible. Curls are a bitch to draw but I do feel like she's got very thin hair, just a lot of it - most of it is dead ends really
`and it's freaking crazy it just goes everywhere there's sO much of it it's just absolutely everywhere all the time
she's like a black-haired Merida it's ridiculous (anyone seen Brave? yeah, her) but like really it's too much effort to get it cut and keep it cut, who even cares it's just hair, so she leaves it alone and just ties it up even when it gets everywhere and all over her and everyone is asking constantly "...doesn't.. that.. get.. heavy..?" but god she's used to it
`and then when she's 16 - probably on her 16th birthday-- she wakes up one day and her hair is suddenly not curly, it has suddenly miraculously straightened, arrow straight and long and thin (and obviously she frEAKS OUT) and this is not anyone's fault this is literally just her powers kicking in
because now that her hair just drapes straight down it can melt into a super creepy hood and robe along with her clothes! because yeah Neo's the next Grim Reaper, and it really is convenient so she leaves it
`anyway there's no way for her to re-curl it after this happens so it's not like she's got a choice
`(also after that happens she pretty much defaults to black/gray clothes because wow is it embarrassing to be going and reaping souls and then BAM bright purple pants peeking through your robe okay yeah no that's not good
