A reserved but friendly sailor looking to document their travels across the globe. What she lacks in words she makes up in her heart of gold, and always cares for others. However, she's never satisfied with where she is and rarely stays in one place for too long. Sterling is a bit quiet on the surface, and tends to keep to themselves. However, she's still very kind and is never afraid to help a stranger out. They’re often found on beaches hanging out on their own, either writing, taking pictures, or singing. They like to be alone most of the time just for privacy's sake, but tends to interact with the locals of the places they visit to get a real sense of community. If you know her more closely, she’s much more confident and bubbly then she seems from afar. She can get excitable and geeky at times, and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve. Sterling is very carefree and fun-loving, and doesn’t like to stress over small things.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
Sterling is the earliest OC that sort of kicked off my obsession with writing stories again, and she's just super special to me in general! I am just a sucker for sailors and ocean themed stuff, so she's obviously special to me in that regard. She's been through a few different story rewrites and design alterations, but her personality has always remained the same; a peaceful, comforting gal I can just think about whenever! I love Sterling I need to draw her more again I've just been preoccupied with Other Blorbos hahah. Her original design was by the amazing @snoozzzes (go follow them right now for epic art)! All I've done is only made a few edits ^^;
