This is officially Rain's new haircut which we will be seeing a lot of in the coming chapters. Like her long hair, I will probably have her change it around from time to time (more so with different accessories, because there's naturally not as much she can do style-wise), but this is kinda like the new default (like her braid, previously).
It's honestly a good thing I plan so far ahead, because it took years to find a style I was satisfied with. I must've gone through at least a hundred (maybe I'll post the scrapped styles someday). I would design a look and like it for weeks and then one day just be all, "NO! IT'S ALL WRONG!" But I think what made it hardest was that it wasn't supposed to be "perfect". I mean, I had to come up with a shoddy cut first (as "styled" by Kellen) that could be made into a final cut that was both cute and passable, and yet potentially questionable under certain circumstances. It might sound strange, but I still don't think I was completely sure about this look even when I drew this page. But as things go with me working on later pages, it's grown on me (you might notice in the coming pages, that I'll frequently have her facing different directions and angles so I can get used to this).
But enough of my mindless babble: what do YOU think?

I had a somewhat stressful morning. But my philosophy is to combat negativity with positivity. So in response to something making me sad or angry, I choose to do something that I think will make other people happy, thus breaking the negative cycle. ^_^
So, early post it is. :)
Nah. I try to not be mean and nasty in general. But when I was younger (or any time I've had to go off my Estrogen for a while), I had a really short temper. I don't like being that way, so I try to pretty much always be a nice person as much as I can. ^_^
Hope your day gets better, Jocelyn, and thank you for the beautifully articulate and complex story.
Rain's cute! I think you succeed in creating the look you were looking for. ^^
If you hide her body, the haircut is actually quite androgynous. It can be both a boyish-cute haircut for a girl, and a girly haircut attempt for a boy/early-transition transgirl...
So, one can assume the "and yet potentially questionable under certain circumstances" part is a success as well. Right now, though, Rain looks like a girl, that's for sure!
Just don't listen to what Kellen will probably say, and you'll be fine, Rain!
You could at least give her an eye-patch to make the transition smoother ^^
But I ween Jocelyn will more likely have her wearing a wig because she's more likely to face the 'classic' toils and adversities a trans person faces in life.
But let me be the first to say that Rain looks absolutely adorable here. Like, holy crap. Can I get Emily's number, because she did a WONDERFUL job. It's a very passable look in my opinion. Like, if someone starts getting antsy about it, I'd be of the mind to punch them in the face, because girls can have short hair if they so please and still look girly, and Emily has mastered that concept with this style.
@Jocelyn: You did a very good job on t he Rain's hair! WOW! Do you have any referances of t his hair cut in real life?
She's still pretty. But I really do like the long hair better.
*Please don't take this the wrong way where I think she looks better when she is a boy, cause it isn't I just like her with short hair*
