Character: Coral Jones

Coral Jones

"🤟"

Usual Bio

Coral is part of a two-peice set, she has a twin named Carol who has been her right side their entire lives(16 years). Even though they do get on each others nerves, they are extremely close and know eachother extremely well. Coral is deaf, completely in one ear with only slim hearing in the other. She uses a slightly modified version of ASL, and Carol usually acts as an interpreter. Coral is rather shy and doesn't enjoy crowds, and if she's in one she'll usually grab onto her sister's arm and stay close. However, once you get to know her, Coral is sweet, bubbly, and playful. Coral has blonde to brown fading hair cut into a bob. She has a round face with green eyes, full lips, a slow sloped nose, and a large mole on the left side of her nose. She has a rather average figure, in a "spoon" shape. She's usually matching with her sister in a usually green t-shirt, and she'll usually tuck it into her jeans. Coral has no hearing enhancers and has been deaf since she was a baby.

Quirk(s)

Coral is deaf, and highly associates with the Deaf/HoH community. She holds a lot of their values and may scare some away with the way she "speaks," which is usually without sugarcoating. Things are the way they are and there isn't a need to say that it isn't.

Backstory

Coral and Carol have been by each others side every step of the way, and they're close as anything. One couldn't live without the other. Coral was born healthy, but at around 5 months she began getting note able hearing loss. Doctors concluded she'd be completely deaf by age 30. Coral became completely deaf in her right ear at 7, and still has a small amount of hearing in her left ear now. She's legally considered deaf. Her family, luckily, treats her no different. Most of them are skilled in ASL and understand many things about Deaf culture and community.

Family/Relationships

Carol is, without a doubt, the closest person to Coral. If they are ever separated, it's only for a short while. They enjoy picking fun at each other but honestly really care about one another, even if they can get on each other's nerves. Hannah and Micah Jones are their parents. Hannah is an artist and very compassionate, and is a pretty typical stay-at-home mom. Micah is goofy and light-hearted, and owns a museum.

**Carol Jones**-"My sister is everything to me. Without her, I might as well just do nothing for the rest of my life!"

**Hannah Jones**-"My mom is wonderful, I'm so grateful for her."

**Micah Jones**-"My dad's really funny and I'm super thankful that he's in my life."

**Deafness**-"It's a part of me, one I'm proud of. Even if it's a slight inconvenience sometimes. It's what makes me me!"

Extras

Coral's namesign starts with a "C" handshape on her forehead, then moves down to her chin while morphing into an "O."|Coral and Carol's characters go back to 2017, and have gone through many redesigns and remakes. Originally, they were conjoined twins who were made to run tests in a scientific facility, like in the game "Portal."|I(the creator) have been studying ASL for 3 years, and it largely inspired me to revamp Coral to being Deaf.
