Chapter Text
Style similar to canon, but his hair is dark brown, almost black, with purple tips. His wings are in the same shape and style of angel wings. They stand at an impressive five feet tall, and have a total wingspan of twelve feet. His wings are the largest in the whole mindscape. They are a dark midnight black. Along the top bone the feathers are silvery. The part closest to the stem of the feather on these is a light lavender. His flight feathers have purple tips, similar to the color of his hoodie. In natural light the black of his wings takes on an iridescent purple sheen. For years he had been told that his wings were hideous and made him an abomination. His wings looked angelic, but the color proved he was anything but. So he only let his wings out when he was sure that nobody would enter his room. Whenever the other sides would offer to let him groom their wings or to groom his, he would snap at them or just ignore them. Eventually they stopped asking, since he didn't want to. But the other three longed to have their dark emo help them groom themselves and wished every day that he would one day accept their offer. Virgil desperately wants to have them help him, but he was conditioned to believe his wings were ugly, and when he never took care of them, they started to become ugly. So now he grooms himself, even though it is painful, and often tries to hold in his screams when he has to sleep on them. His wings are the number one factor of his insomnia. There is also the fact that once you get groomed by your soulmates, or soulmate, and have a good relationship with them, you will get features of your soul animal, which you get a vision of at the age of five. But Virgil is different, with two soul animals. A spider, and a cat. He knows if the others ever groomed him, they would be terrified of the spider aspect of him. And they might treat him as an even bigger abomination that they would because of his wings. When outside of the mindscape they look fully like Thomas, with the same hair color, no animal features, and no wings. So Virgil doesn't have to try hard to hide his wings from Thomas.
(poor Virgil just wants his famILY to love him and believes the only way to do that is to pretend to be something he's not.)
