Lynn Bates OC | Character Design

My Stranger Things OC, Lynn Bates, is a student from Hawkins who’s had a crush on the school’s biggest scapegoat, Eddie Munson, for a few years now. She loves all the rock and metal mixtapes he shares with her and never misses his band’s secret hideout shows. She always keeps a pack of her favorite bubble gum in her back pocket, chewing it whenever boredom hits.
Lynn has short, light-blonde hair that never really behaves no matter how she styles it, there’s always that one messy strand popping up and giving away her clumsy nature. She has big, expressive eyes framed with dark mascara and always wears the same pair of earrings she got when her ears were pierced by her older brothers. Most of the time, she’s dressed in an oversized brown Dio sweater, black shorts, and cream knee-high socks, almost always paired with red sneakers.
She’s shy, gentle, and a bit of a daydreamer the kind of quiet, barely noticeable support always lingering in the background for the person she cares about most.
