Shared Custody of an OC?

One of my missions for the year was to make my own OCs but since Malevolent has come to an end, I realised I may already have one. I have a few friends who also listened to the podcast and we had this fun experiment of how it would play out if the podcast actually happened to the main character's (dead) daughter. It meant recontextualising the horror and time period to the experiences of women, focusing on the other dead female characters (there's a suprising amound). Faroe Lester may not be MY character, but between all of us we have built her into something original.

This actually happens quite a bit in fandom, where an Alternate Universe is pushed to the point of no longer being attached to its original canon. Usually the character is then tweaked into being their own. 

The problem here: this OC is simultaneously canon and not-canon. In the podcast it was revealed that there was a Faroe who grew up, witnessed her dad's death, and is chased by the horrors. Additionaly in the finale another Faroe was introduced, she could be the same one, she could also not. Whilst she experienced similar events as the OC version, they are different characters. She is also not my OC in the sense that she wasn't even my idea, but I've worked on her story with the friend who made her for so long it does feel like shared custody.

Now that this canon version of the character has appeared, and my friend has lost interest in the OC version, I do want to continue developing her. Imagine a new version of yourself appears, having a completely different childhood changing how you both lived your lives. One's a butch lesbian who boxes and solves murders, whilst the other is a glorified secretary. There's something so interesting about being on the outside of society watching a version of yourself that is almost the feminine ideal. Knowing that who you're with isn't your father and that you aren't his daughter, strangers both mourning different versions of eachother. 

I was even able to pick up my doodle sketchbook for the first time in well over a month (I have two, one for doodles, one for paint) and it has truly felt like coming home. Unfortunately I will not have time to write for her because I am meant to be doing uni work, but I look forward to attempting it in the future. It ammuses me that in order to be inspired to draw again, all it took was a podcast I no longer cared about to end.

(ps. You know how I said that the writing of Malevolent lost the plot and it was better as a noir detective show, IT WAS WRITTEN BAD ON PURPOSE THE WRITER ADMITTED IT I CANNOT BELIEVE IT)

yes there's a medieval AU of an AU
