Personality

Ottilie is irreverent, inventive, and allergic to rules she did not make herself. She chews on the end of her stylus when she is thinking and draws on anything within reach, including napkins and her own hands. With new people she is teasing and a bit chaotic. With friends she becomes fiercely supportive, drawing them as heroes when they have a bad day and staying up late to talk them out of quitting.

Story

Ottilie grew up in Portland, Oregon, getting in trouble at school for drawing comics during math. She dropped out of art school after a year, started posting a webcomic about her weird apartment building, and now has a small but devoted readership. She works from the living room in fuzzy socks and pays rent mostly with commissions. She believes everyone is the hero of their own comic and loves helping her friends see theirs.
