The Waves: an Introduction to RBlackwell25

 RBlackwell25 is a funny kind hearted girl who loves the ocean and coral reefs. RBlackwell25 grew up in Florida which explains her love for the ocean and tropical weather. Although she lives in Maine now she still adores Florida. When she isn’t reminiscing about her old life in Florida she is busy at her job waiting tables and taking orders. She also has a great love for music and thoroughly enjoys the bands Nirvana and Sublime, She also loves Ken Carson and Playboi Carti. Her avatar has a white background with a small piece of orange coral sitting in the middle as well as a few small bubbles coming out of the little holes in the top of the coral. There are also some lines above the coral that depict waves going over the coral.   

When RBlackwell25 has free time she loves to play dress to Impress on Roblox.  RBlackwell and myself enjoy playing dress to impress together after long monotonous school days “Dress to Impress takes the stress away,” She says. She also has a cat named Willow who she adores so much. “Willow is there whenever i’m feeling down or unsure about something, She cuddles right into me letting me know it’ll be okay.” 

When RBlackwell25 was brainstorming ideas for her character she not only chose things that reminded her of her vibrant childhood but things that reminded her of the fun times she has had with her friends and family over the years. What grabbed my attention about RBlackwell25 avatar is that it was a very simple yet eye-catching avatar and I knew that there would be more meaning behind her avatar than just a single piece of coral. And I was right her single piece of coral on her paper had a lot more meaning to it than I would have anticipated. The meaning of the one orange piece of coral is 

Her development process of her avatar was very similar because we both chose something orange and something that was important to us during our childhoods. I chose my orange cat Simba and she chose the ocean and orange coral. RBlackwell says “the thought of the ocean and coral reefs brings a refreshing feeling of nostalgia over me, reminds me of the younger years when I grew up in Florida.”
