Tolkien Vyshinsky, at the age of sixteen, stands at 5'7'' and is still in the midst of his growth. His build is lean and somewhat lanky, more 'soft' than athletic, which reflects in his preference for comfort over fashion. His dark brown hair often falls messily into his hazel eyes, which are flecked with green and occasionally hidden behind glasses. His style is quintessentially casual, favoring layered clothes like hoodies and soft sweaters, paired with comfortable sneakers. Occasionally, he adds a touch of personal flair with handmade knitted accessories, a nod to his creative side.
Tolkien's world is one of quiet ambition and introspection. Growing up in a small, close-knit town, he dreams of becoming a renowned writer, inspired by the fantastical worlds he escapes into through books. However, his path is obstructed by his family's expectation for him to follow in their footsteps and pursue a stable career in law, a profession that feels suffocating to his creative spirit.
Undeterred, Tolkien begins to write in secret, crafting stories that blend the mundane with the magical. He shares his work online under a pseudonym, slowly building a following that appreciates his unique voice. This secret endeavor not only fuels his passion but also provides a sense of validation and identity separate from his family's expectations.
His approach works because it allows him to live a dual life: one that appeases his family and another that nurtures his true calling. As his online following grows, Tolkien gains the confidence to eventually reveal his passion to his family, hoping to bridge the gap between his dreams and their expectations.
The resolution comes when his family, initially resistant, reads his work and sees the depth of his talent and passion. They come to support his writing, recognizing that his happiness and success are intertwined with his creative pursuits.
Throughout his journey, Tolkien faces internal conflicts about his identity and external pressures from his family's expectations. These conflicts shape his character, pushing him towards a resolution that aligns his personal desires with his familial obligations.
