Birth Name: Jarod Zachary Veillon
Alliases: Nemo (she’s transgender and this is her chosen name)
Age: 15
Powers/Abilities TBA
Height: 5’3”
Appearance: Nemo often gets picked on for looking and sounding “too feminine for a boy.” If she revealed that she was actually a girl, though, she would probably just get even more shit. She’s short and thin, with barely any body fat and wide hips. Her face is round and youthful, pale with some freckles. Her black hair is short and usually messy. Her typical outfit consists of a loose-fitting t-shirt, jeans (usually ripped), a jacket about two sizes too big, the same pair of sneakers, and a hat, usually either a beanie or a baseball cap. The only major variation in her attire is the specific t-shirt she’s wearing, often with band logos, slogans, or movie references. It’s hard to tell Nemo’s gender by looking at her; she falls in the exact middle of the scale between masculine and feminine.
Personality: Nemo is a pretty docile person. She’s quiet and laid-back most of the time, preferring to stay out of the spotlight. She won’t initiate a conversation herself, but if someone comes up to her, she’ll be open and friendly. She values privacy, and rarely divulges information about herself outside of interests, hobbies, or favorite bands. You have to be really, really close to her for her to tell you that she’s trans, because she doesn’t want anyone to know just yet. She keeps a lot of secrets, but she is a very genuine person.
If Nemo is a space where she’s comfortable, with people she trusts, her quietness pretty much goes away. She’ll crack jokes, talk excitedly about stuff she likes, and laugh embarrassingly loud. Pretty much, if her laughter starts to sound like hysterical screaming, you know you’ve told a really good joke.
She’s not always so chill, though. She’s under a lot of stress from school, her peers, and gender dysphoria, and sometimes it gets to be too much. When she’s feeling overwhelmed, Nemo gets tense, irritable, and even more defensive than usual. She tends to ignore the onset of these feelings, leading to them growing out of proportion. In the past, this stress has lead to plenty of breakdowns in the past. The only cure for her in this situation is some time for relaxation and a good cry (which is bad, because she
hates crying).
History: Nemo’s home life is a closely-kept secret. All most people know is that she lives in a small one-story house in a poor area with her single mother (who rarely ever shows her face around the school). She’s had a rather unremarkable past as a student, mostly known for being “girly” and a few incidents where she cried in class. For years, she has been the person that everyone knows of, but no one actually knows.
Anything else?/Trivial facts.
- She is Asexual and romantically attracted to women.
- She’s an unapologetic emo kid; but the self-aware kind that knows that she’s emo trash and has a sense of humor about it.
- Ask her about music; she’ll give you about a million obscure band recommendations.
- Her chosen name was not inspired by Finding Nemo, and she will vehemently assert this fact until the day she dies.
