Oh no my pigeon is broken

I started writing this in a normal blog entry but thought it was more fit to go here

Wich on the topic of Astra, theyre born disabled and need a cane. Later on losing a leg but that was due to other plot related things. Id like to give them a real disability to more acuratly depict what they go trough bc rn its just "disabled". But idk how to go about that lmao? Its easy to give characters traits i have, even if not exactly the same since i live trough it and can go by that. But i wasnt born with a physical disability... OK after much searching i think Astra being born with hip displasia would make sense? Very mild at birth but with age gets worse. Due to their upbringing there will be alot of ableist thoughts stuck in their head causing them to kinda neglect theres a real issue. Astra also has wonky feet and needs special soles in their shoes but since they where a kid they actual get their shoes hand made made (tho that dosnt make them shy away from wearing a slight heel at times). And also aperently the only way to treat hip displasia is with surgery. Either a whole new hip or they "re-enforce" the current hip. But Astra would likly be convinced its due to their feet and "its no big deal", even on bad flare up days... 

I put this on my main blog but also wanna put this wip here
