Thank you so much for your kind words, it warms my heart to think that she recognized what I‘ve been through 🥹

My pleasure! Same goes for you and Thunderbird 💕

It may sound weird how a fictional character could have such an impact on a real person, I know, I was called a liar for telling this story before. However, it cannot alter the fact that Aruni changed me in a better way, and I will be forever grateful.

A concept art of Aruni trying to walk again, telling people to trust her that she would recover in no time, hit me deeply. Her resilience and optimism encouraged me to stop listening to negative thoughts and quit self-stigmatizing.

Having a Thai female video game character in a big title like Rainbow Six is surprising enough. But how she is also a person with disabilities being represented in a good light is beyond my fantasy.

In 2015, my right lower leg was broken and I became temporarily disabled. As disability is considered a stigma in Thai culture, I was only allowed to keep the emotional pain to myself.

For years, I could not truly find peace, until I met Aruni.

Apologies for a really really late reply. She’s super cool indeed! I hope Ubisoft would acknowledge our love and effort to the character we connected culturally, but at least we tried our best 🥹

Much appreciated 🥺💕 The flowers in this art have meanings if you’re interested to read moondustk.tumblr.com/private/6462...
