The clever, wide-eyed inventor who's always tinkering around with gadgets and dreaming bigger than his tiny frame allows, Nathan is the heart and soul of any crew – optimistic and a little clumsy, but endlessly loyal, almost to a fault! And he believes that every problem has a mechanical solution...even the ones that involve broken hearts!

4th: Nathan Nibbles, younger brother to Gerald Nibbles (but not a villain)!

#oc #nathannibbles #art #digitalart #diamondintherough

Amelia's older sister, who was taken away far too soon! 😥 Gentle, artistic, and soft-spoken, Violet was the quiet light in the Ratborne household. She loved painting these delicate watercolors and collecting pressed flowers, always trying to shield her baby sister from their father's storms! And even though she's gone, her memory still lingers like a soft perfume in the halls of that old Kensington manor...a haunting reminder of what could've been! 🕊️

3rd: Violet Ratborne, Amelia's late older sister! 🕊️

#oc #violetratborne #art #diamondintherough

This is the sharp-tongued, ambitious, and dangerously charming! With his vest and that calculating smirk, Gerald is the smooth-talking opportunist who always has a scheme (and a clever escape plan) ready! Loyal only to power and the family name, he’s more than happy to do Jonas Ratborne’s dirty work…no matter who gets hurt in the process! But I guess that's what makes him such a fantastic villain! 👀

2nd: Gerald Nibbles, the mouse that Amelia's father forced her to marry!

#oc #geraldnibbles #art #diamondintherough

BERNARD RATBORNE (Amelia's younger brother from "Diamond in the Rough") Always dressed impeccably, with his signature calculating gaze and ruffled shirt! Bernard quickly learned how to navigate their father, Jonas's, world of power and politics. He's clever and sometimes cold, but deep down, he carries the same quiet scars as his sister. The question is...will he ever choose a different path? 👀

💎 extra characters from "Diamond in the Rough" (a short thread) 🧵

1st up: Bernard Ratborne, Amelia's younger brother!
