Now, people may say that I am just a typical fangirl who likes fictional characters too much, and honestly, you’d be right. However, there is something that this magnificent character does that surpasses any other characters that I like. He connects to me. Even though Lie is a special character, meant to represent the great creator of what RWBY has been, and still is, Monty Oum (May that amazing man rest in peace), I feel a connection to the character as if he were me as well. He’s an introverted character that clearly displays high intelligence and passion. Despite the struggles and pain he has gone through, obviously shown in the recent Volume 4, he remained tranquil and compassionate throughout all of his years of horrifying memories, ever since he was a small child. I wish to not go through specifics, but even though I have not suffered family loss like he has, I’ve been traumatized as a child by some frightening things. I don’t mean dark rooms or petty insects either. Again, I will not explain further due to personal things. But the way Lie remains strong, and uses his horrifying experiences to strengthen his mind and soul, is simply inspiring to me. He faced his demons, now I can truly stand up to mine. I want to be just like Lie. He’s amazing, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The first time I started watching RWBY I didn’t have a favorite character, until Lie Ren first appeared on screen. I instantly knew he was my favorite before he said even one word. I got laughs from Nora’s energetic personality, but Ren’s silence and patience simply impressed me from the start. If Lie was in front of me, I wouldn’t know what to do...except probably cry, and thank him. Such a powerful character that speaks more through actions than words, much like myself. I’m writing from my heart and I feel this drawing is the perfect opportunity to speak my true feelings about this phenomenal character, and I am honestly tearing up as I’m writing. Thank you Neath Oum for doing the beautiful lotus justice. You’ve done so much for his character. Again, all I can say...is thank you. Thank you.





I'm honestly feeling a lot of emotions right now guys. The paragraph below is just something I needed to convey with this image. You could say it awakened some thoughts within that needed to be released. I wrote it not for you guys...but perhaps more for myself I guess, and maybe Neath one day...one day. Heh, don't judge me for having dreams...please.*********************************Ray-KenLie, An, and Li Ren all belong to Rooster TeethThis drawing belongs to me
