kittie nymph
the outcast, the weird character, often socially awkward, introverted, outside beauty standards, in a world of their own or searching for friendship. these characters are typically relatable to the neurodivergent, queer and trans viewers.
In them she has found something like the coterie to which she’s always wanted to belong, not the popular crowd, rather, the smaller satellite crowd that makes fun of the popular crowd—the outer circle, internally supportive and externally terrifying.

Autistic characters are rarely portrayed in their own right. Instead, they are used as a curiosity in order to teach the neurotypical main character valuable life lessons. The neurodivergent presence becomes a plot device — an obstacle that must be conquered and which facilitates the development of the other characters.
