What came from where: the canon, the real history, and the art — all accounted for.
Character canon
- Vizlings app — character “Goth Girl”: name, card description “Goth Girl”, category “Nocturnals”, 12 app chats. Public character page: https://vizlings.com/characters/goth-girl
- Public bio (vizlings.com, quoted verbatim): “She adopted a ruin because apartments lack atmosphere. Dry wit, dark playlists, and surprisingly warm advice — delivered strictly after sundown.”
- Owner character art — used as a visual style reference for generating new art only; never displayed raw on this site.
