Well, I decided to write my story about how Aria Futaba saved my life since the Aikatsu Stars anime just ended. I won't cover everything about me though.
I'll first start off how my childhood went and then to my adolescent years.
I had a happy childhood, respected by everyone, loved by all kids. I felt so happy to be alive at the time. Even though my mom started out as a single mother, she remarried so I could have a father-figure in my life. That made me happy even though I had a sibling rivalry with my adoptive sister due to the feeling that she was superior to me and that she's better than me at everything.
My adolescent years was when I went to Hell. I was an outcast. I was treated like crap, kicked around (not literally), and got called names. I even got hit by people! I pretty much functioned as a rag doll for them. This all started in middle school until my mom eventually pulled me out of brick & mortar schools and enrolled me in an online school where everybody is required to be nice to everybody, including me. That made me happy and I managed to fit in even though nobody could see my face.
But despite all that, I went into depression due to the constant harassment I received because of my weight and appearance (I even got asked many times if I was pregnant!) from peers and went to social media as solace. Social media eventually got me addicted to electronics due to this and it caused my mom and dad to get concerned due to apparently pushing people offline away. Although I still had depression of sorts, I eventually developed an interest in anime which also helped me cope.
Yeah, I'll skip onto the next part.
And now my adult years.
I found out that I have Epilepsy and PDD. It was heartbreaking for me as I felt that I couldn't take care of myself and be on my own. I've even felt suicidal a few times although it was due to me having depression "attacks".
A few years later, Aria Futaba came into my life.
She was everything I wanted to be. Nature-loving, sweet, cute, and a big ball of sunshine. I actually want to dye my hair a light green just like hers so I could feel like I was actually her.
Although I do like nature, I have a major fear of insects, mainly bees, wasps, and yellow jackets because they buzz and can sting which scare me greatly. I also have arachnophobia. I do love flowers and plants though.
She and I also know Ballet Moves. I took ballet as a little girl, but now I can no longer do that due to my weight and body shape.
I wanted to be cute again like I once was as a child. I wanted to regain my kindness and happiness that I lost when I was in middle school. I feel that Aria can do just that. Aria reminded me of the wonders that the world brings and that the future for me is bright. My love for Aria motivated me into wanting who I want to become.
Thus I consider Aria Futaba to be my spirit animal. The person I want to be like.
