Description
-"Evangeline, there are nothing to worry about. God loves all of us equally just if you are being good."
This was the word which Mr. and Mrs. Anathembalm loved to tell meThey used to tell it to comfort me at every times I claimed them that I felt lonely and not lovedDespite how many times I annoyed them because of my loneliness, they always tried to comfort me by telling such warm words
But my mind had never been moved by them
-"Why does God love all people equally?"-"Why doesn't God love only me?"-"Why does God more help other people, but not me, despite my misfortunes?"-"Why did God give me such unreasonable painful fate? And why doesn't he make up for it?"
When I told those feelings in my mind, I was always admonished by Mr. and Mrs. Anathembalm
-"Eva, all people deserve to be loved by God. It's not only you who suffer and need him.
But you shouldn't be trapped by such jealousy. Stop worrying, because you are the one of his children to be loved."("But it doesn't make sense to me.")-"Care about other people too. Be polite. Be a good person. Then your mind will be helped."("Why should I care about other children. I'm the most unfortunate one in all of other children.")-"If you understand, let's go to a church to pray. It's good and important to do for yourself."("I don't need that. I just want you to love me right now.")
None of other children in my orphanage agreed with my feelingAs soon as they discovered my feelings in my mind, they started criticizing me as I was the wrong person
-"Hey Sally, did you know? Eva hates God just because she can't monopolize his love."-"How arrogant and rude! Eva should be punished in the hell for once."-"Hey Eva, you should stop being such greedy! It's not too late to change your mind!"-"Yeah. We recommend so because we care about you, do you understand?"
("Mean kids.... you all don't know how much unfortunate I am. Then you don't have any rights to throw such arrogant words to me!")
-"Shut up. Never throw such arrogant words to me again. You are not my superior brother nor sister, never!"-"Huh, lil sis. Then okay. Go to find your own God if you can find. But don't dirt our religion by your ugly desires."-"Yes he is right. Although we're sure that you will not find such person."
("Idiots. I will find "my own God" absolutely... someday... ")
In this orphanage managed by a church, I had been isolated and hated by amount of peopleSo, "Black Sheep" was my nickname there
Drawing of my OC, Evangeline.
Evangeline is a mother of my other OCs: Mizaline and Mizael.
But here, I've drawn a scene in her childhood.
In her childhood, she lived in the orphanage built by a church. And so, the managers of this orphanage (Mr. and Mrs. Anathembalm) raised orphans there based on their religion.
Some children followed their religious educations, some didn't. Yet amount of those different children could get along with each other by having respects to each other.
But how about Evangeline? She might be the one who was negative to their educations too. But how she still tried to change their religion to something comfortable only for her personal desires had offended many believers there. I won't lie that some believers were offensive as Evangeline too, but there were enough reasons for her to be hated by amount of people there.
This childhood built a lot of her unsettled identity and low self-esteem which harmed her entire life.
(By the way, I would like to say here that I'm not in either side: that those religious children's or Evangeline's. I'm not trying to criticize any real religions by this picture, I'm just being a story-teller who introduces their stories without my personal emotions.
I told it since I'm a bit nervous anytime I post something related to religions, but offending someone is always not my wish. Thanks for understanding.)
In this picture, I introduced a bit of her childhood. But you can also read her life stories in her adulthood here :

I like to know more about her)) Especially of her childhood. She is interesting character
I like this meaning in this drawing - everyone has a light in the lamp, but Evangeline doesn't, as if it means, figuratively, extinct light means her extinct desire to believe in God and it fits perfectly with the name of the drawing Others have faith in this religion - she don't have faith in this religion - I very like this simbolism
I very like how you draw the background - great job, Miz!))
And it is okay to draw stories about characters like this: our opinions and preferences may not always coincide with the opinions and preferences of our characters - it's normal They are individuals living their own lives...

Don't worry Mizuki! You didn't offend anyone!...but maybe that's because i'm a agnostic XD
Of course, your drawing is still beautiful and... *continues to glare at the beautifully painted windows* *ahem!*
Oh boy, it seems that not even in childhood she had someone to love.
And when it did, she often wasn't satisfied...
And we all know what were the consequences of it...

As many had already said, you didn't offend any religion for me too.
I love the drawing, as always ! Eva is the only who keep her head down and have her lantern turn off. It shows her doubt in god
I can imagine how she feels about God but as the kids told her, she should have stopped to wish to monopolize love from everybody... But maybe kids shouldn't have be so harsh on her. But they're still kids... The two adults seems more patients but it seems like it wasn't enough for her
Maybe is it because her parents abandonned her when she was enough old to remember them or that she had parents once, so now she thinks that's because they didn't love her enough ?
She got the same personnality to envy others and being jealous as she was younger. I understand better now why she was jealous of her own childs !

I'm glad you think so! I tried to make harmless description, but still put that warning for this sensitive theme. (Actually I had some people murmured about my religious artworks in past, so.)
It's good that you find sympathies from both sides. >< I kinda tried to make them equal, -means both are not good nor bad.
Evangeline even didn't remember her parents' faces (she was abandoned in very young age), and probably because so, she thought that she deserved more attention than other orphans who lost their parents in older ages. (Or they even had good parents.)
I'm glad you enjoy her story anyway! x) Thanks for your comment! ^^

Yeah, It is really a sensitive subject-
Yes, some of the words of kids were nice, sometime harsh but they didn't mean anything bad. And others were... Well, really harsh.
I don't know how they could have changed her mind though. Nice and bad ways didn't work...
And you're welcome ! ^^

Okay, I love all the details in this picture, especially Evangeline's turned off lantern meaning her doubt about God's love! That's a great touch! And the stained glass on each window looks beautiful!!!

That looks pretty cool I love the background and I like the little details like Eva's lantern being off and her position being more sad than other kid's
So what I'm learning by now is that she always wanted the attention and all the love to herself. Probably because she didn't have a family I guess. Makes sense. And apparently she just becomes more jealous over the time.

Aw dang, I wanted it to be her getting lost in the woods XD
This is a really cool picture, I'd imagine it'd take awhile to make all of these detailed profiles and also the background!! Awesome work as usual!
Don't worry about triggering anyone, I'm a Christian and I am most certainly not triggered by this depiction. It's very clear that these are children in the story, children whose moral/religious compasses are underdeveloped. It's not a depiction of Christians as having immature beliefs, just children. Evangeline has a pretty selfish streak in her, and it seems that she wants her god to cater to her whims 110%. But it seems that she wants her god to give her pleasure, wealth, and happiness, not pain. Does the masochistic streak only begin after her being abused by Luciel or does it start sooner?

Your idea sounds interesting too. xD
Thank you!
I appreciate your heart! I guess the main theme of this story is more a kind of "social pressure" than religion itself.
Yes, child Evangeline wanted (probably too hardly) happiness on herself as she believed that she deserved it. But after many people around her denied her will, her confidence got broken and she ended up losing self-defense, I guess. So in the last days of her life, she willingly accepted violent treatments from people as she believed that she deserved it.

Awwwwww, poor Evangeline. She may have been pretty selfish, but it's not like she deserves beatings 24/7.
