Challenge #216 - Role Model

[itsanonyx]

Earlier this week I came across with an old Land-Comm Challenge where we had to choose one characters to be represent in some way. And then I thought we could have something similar for Challenge 216. :o)

"A role model is someone who positively influences another person through actions and words. A good role model can come in many forms, such as mentors, family members and professional connections. Being a positive influence in the lives of others is a powerful form of representation."

For this Challenge you may go with every character or real life person that had a positive influence on you somewhen in your life. How you define this is totally up to you. :o) As long as it was something positive is fair game for this Challenge. Something like "I admire them and I want to be like them" also count. :o)

Here are some reasons why I choose those icons below:
- For the Challenge mentioned above I went with Moana because she went through some identity crises as well and didn't really know who she really was or where her place in this world was.
- Wanda Maximoff was my inspiration (and my favorite Cosplay) for many years because she was also a twin who lost her twin brother. Especially "Captain America: Civil War" helped me a lot after dealing with a bad episode of depression.
- On March 17th I found some graphic on Twitter that made Shadow the Hedgehog trans non-binary. :o) And, I mean, by definition he somehow really fit into that category. And enby Shad finally gave me the courage to be more open about me being transgender. (Not with all people I know but with a lot of them. My neurologist included who told me last week that he knew for long that I was transgender. ô__ô)
- Ryan Gosling was actually the reason why I thought about choosing Ryan as my new name. :o) All together he seems to be just a good guy to be around. :o)

I know this may be hard for some to choose 2 only. So for this Challenge you may go with 4 different Role Models instead. :o) Feel free to also give a reason why you choose those as your Role Models. <3
