VEE'S DEVELOPMENT
Vee’s design actually started from my Minecraft skin, one which I also made. Her name also came from my Minecraft username (XV1etnam). I was simply called “V,” which later became “Vee” to avoid being misread as “Vi.” That name eventually grew into my current username, “veiix,” so in a way, Vee became part of my own online identity.

As her design developed, I used her as a way to express elements of my own personality through visual motifs: roses symbolizing innocence and softness, a hood for mystery and introversion, glasses reflecting intellect and a quiet studious side, and a mix of suits with techwear to capture that strange balance between formal, futuristic, and unconventional.

She’s taken me years to work on because of how special she is to me—I’ve continued refining her design to get as close to “perfect” as possible for my main and most personal OC.
Looking back at her growth feels like looking back at my own—she’s not just an OC, but also a digital persona that’s evolved alongside me.
