so not a book per say (im thinking either an animated show or comic) im creating a semi-episodic series whos basic concept is that its a parody/homage to silver age sci-fi comics and pulpy magazines. in this series most characters are either aliens or if they are human their semi-minor players, except 3-ish. one is the main character ricky (hes latino and though im very pale i am Mexican so i dont really need help plus why would i come here for that), Joan (when she was human she was an Indian woman but since now she is a robot and has no memories of being human this kinda question isnt urgent and also i wouldnt come here for that),
finally the subject for this post is Viz:
who is 1/4 alien but more importantly is 3/4 human and just looks like a black woman with elf ears. not gonna detail her whole creation, the basic thing is she is based on spock and the concept for her character is what would happen when someone like spock (who rejects his human side) has children who are more human than he is and you add the fact that one child performs as his society expects and the other (viz, who by the way is a bounty hunter) dose not.
just like the vulcans this alien species takes pride in being logical and not showing emotions and while viz dose tend to be a bit more serious and direct, she also dose displays a humanly healthy amount of emotions which deems her too emotional for this alien species. i thought that i finally was able to add depth to my female characters but then i was scrolling thru reddit when i found a rant post about how it sucks as a black woman to be labeled as emotional and i panicked cuz that is part of vizs character. one could say that its okay because it could be used as commentary but the problem is that its commentary on an issue i know nothing about, plus it would be accidental commentary which runs the risk of being sloppy and having unfortunate connotations accidentally
any thought on what to do, should i keep as is, make alterations or just rework her entirely
