These are machines. Their job is to produce plain, white circles.

And soon, these circles will be shipped to be coloured, named, and labelled.

The circles are shipped to different machines. Some machines choose the colours, either blue or red, and label them boy or girl. The other machines give the circles names. 

After they are finished, they are released into the world to live their lives.

But sometimes the machines get it wrong. See, the circles have feelings and sometimes  don’t feel like their label and colour is right for them.  

Meet Nyx. They don't feel like they were assigned the right label.

Meet Nyx. 

They don't feel like they were assigned the right label.

Nyx soon met other circles that don't feel connected to their label as well. Meet Jordan, Zifria, Kai and Alex.

They decided to make a group in secret. They grabbed art supplies. Paints, brushes, tissues, sponges, and all art stuff imaginable.

The group started to re-design themselves to express themselves better. 

Let's ask what they all are doing.

Hi Zifria, why are you mixing up the paints?

Zifira:  I feel like a mix of both colours. So I’m mixing up the paints to make whatever this is….. How about we call it purple? Anyway,  I’ll be labeling myself Bicolour because “bi" means two or more.

So you identify as both? Cool, let’s see what your friends are up to.

So Jordan, why are you painting yourself the opposite colour? 

Jordan: Oh, because I’m a boy. They labelled me wrong as a girl, so I’m painting myself blue instead. I’ll be known as what colours call a Transcolour. “Trans" as in a short from, for transitioning. I am a boy.

Uhhh.. Kai why are you erasing the colour off of yourself?

Kai: I don’t feel like any of them so I wiped the colour off.

I’d like to be called Acolour because I’m a colour. Not a specific colour, just a colour.

Courageous spirit you are. Now I’m off to chat with Nyx

Hey Nyx its your turn to tell us what you been up to, What? Nyx? Your yellow! How are you yellow?

 “Yellow is neither red or blue, how did you get yellow!" exclaimed Jordan. "You can’t rub off the colour and become yellow!" Kai pointed out. “ You can’t mix the colours into yellow!" said Zifria. "Nyx how are you yellow?" questioned Alex (who was a mess of colours all over)

" I'm yellow? " said Nyx, pretty confused and shocked "What? How?..." and then they realized what had happened

Nyx started to explain to us

" None of us feel like we fit into the world with our given colours and labels, right?"

           Everyone nodded.

" So while all of you were re-painting, mixing, wiping, or just helping out ... I didn't what to do"

 None of them really applied to me but I didn't feel like any of them either. I really don't know what exactly happened but..." Nyx paused.

" I guess I just started to deeply think about what I really feel like and who I really am, I. think that...I've brought out... my... inner-self?" Nyx looked up questioningly

" Indeed you have Nyx!"
