CHARACTER SHEET

─────── •✧• ──────

NAME: Freddy Freeman

AGE: 17 years old

BIRTHDAY: May 21st 1990

HEIGHT: 6’1 /186 cm

STATUS: Alive

OCCUPATION: Student at Fawcett High

SPECIES: Human

HAIR COLOR: Light Brown

EYE COLOR: Blue

OTHER INFO: Paralyzed left leg (Uses walking aides)

PERSONALITY/NARRATIVE ROLE

─────── •✧• ──────

Freddy is a free-spirited and fun loving character. He approaches every aspect of his life with a sly humor despite his troubled upbringing and unfortunate life circumstances.

Freddy’s role in the story is to be a friendly opposer to Billy, Countering his more cynical/jaded view on the world with levity.

Freddy is the first sibling to form a meaningful connection with Billy, which allows him to express his struggles/worries openly.

Freddy understands Billy’s struggles and meets him where he’s at emotionally, instead of trying to force a fake persona of happiness onto him like many have before.

LESSON OVERVIEW

─────── •✧• ──────

Freddy’s lesson throughout the story is helping Billy lighten up a little bit so he can form better connections with others.

Helping him understand that even though they’ve both been hurt a lot in the past, he shouldn’t emotionally “shut down” and let those experiences negatively impact how he interacts with the world.

Freddy’s light-hearted and silly personality doesn't come from a place of naivete, but it’s an active choice. A choice that Freddy makes everyday to appreciate the little celebrations in life. Making him really emotionally open and socially approachable despite his troubled upbringing.

End.

Hii all!!

Sorry I haven’t posted,,, my Shazam hyper-fixation has subsided.

I probably won’t be active on this account until it’s back in full swing again.

Thank you for your understanding!! ❤️⚡️

Just read the new Shazam comic and thinking about re-designing my outfit for Freddy. I thought the blue scarf was a serve, but I think I only really liked it in Dan Mora’s art style lol.

Anyways, as I was reading I was thinking about how I’m kinda not a fan of when writers kinda write Shazam & Billy as two different people? I’ve seen a few iterations of the comics do this but I’m never sure why? It just kinda seems like more work imo to write them as separate characters???

Maybe there is some appeal in like the magical “other-self” or “idealized-self” areas of fantasy, but I feel like the Shazam mythos covers that either way? Anyways that’s my hot take lmk which you prefer and drop a comment if you wanna let me know your reasoning~ ✨

Bonus: please enjoy these random sketches xoxo

Just finished Darla’s slightly older design! Now she’s with everyone else, yay! She’s about 15 in this design so all the ages go, Darla 15, Mary 16, Billy 16, Freddy 18. And I’m done with the main cast now yippieeee! ~✨

Note: I always say “about (age)” when I post designs, because since I have birthdays for all of them it really depends on the time of year I’m writing In. 💀

But if you were curious of the birthdays I gave them it’s,,,

Darla - March 5th

Mary - September 19th

Billy - December 23rd

Freddy - May 21st

SoOoOoo, yeah! ~✨

Here is a new Shazam design for my version of the story!! ⚡️

My idea was to have the adult Shazam look a lot more like his child-counterpart. I think this will help both characters seem like the same person, with the same internal struggles. Because Shazam isn’t Shazam without Billy Batson, ya know?

That baggage from his past, and his struggles in the foster care system breeds empathy within the character, and I think that empathy is a good way to keep a hero motivated to do good.

I was thinking on how I was gonna write the connection Between Shazam and Billy. So far what I’ve been thinking is Billy’s internal struggle in the story is that he’s worried that he is unlovable and he will never find a place where he truly belongs. That’s kinda why he has so much urgency to find his birth mother, because he’s craving that support system he had for the first few years of his life…

( writing continues below… 📝)

These feelings of worry,shame,guilt and overall just kinda feeling like a burden accumulates within him over the years as he grows up in the system. Being passed on from house to house with pretty much all of the adults in his life stripping him of any personal autonomy he had. Like the adults in his life don’t really care about his wants, and they never listen to his concerns. They just keep passing him around his entire childhood.

That lack of stability, and that lack of autonomy really make him feel isolated and sad.

Billy is in distress that he pretty much has no say in where he lives, who’s in his life, or even the amount of personal items he gets to own. And he feels kinda helpless that his fate is kinda being locked in this cycle until he turns 18. Because every time he runs off, he gets caught. Then he’s back at square one.

Then this connects to Shazam because once he receives the wizard’s powers he becomes an adult. Then in that moment he realizes he does have a lot of power he never had before, both in the sense of flight and super strength, but more importantly the power to make his own decisions.

However, since he is a child he does kinda turn towards the more reckless side of things. Like how we see in the 2019 movie. Using his powers to ditch school, test his abilities, finding ways to get money, and then learning how to buy things he wants. He kinda leans heavy into these habits at first because he’s never been presented with an opportunity to make his own decisions before. He’s never really had the opportunity to do what he wants.

Then over the course of the story shows Billy starting to navigate all the freedom he’s been given. Watching him learn to use his powers for more selfless acts of heroism instead of only for his own self interests.

Having his background be one of a kid growing up with no control in his life, knowing those feelings of isolation and helplessness makes him more empathetic. He’s an “adult” that’s a lot more empathetic towards children and the less fortunate because he understands them.

He’s more willing to stop and listen to their concerns.

He’s more willing to help them solve their issues, because he is one of them.

Kalypso’s Powers~ ✨🌀

Here is some of my writing for my version of the Daughters of Atlas. Since they’re from the magic realm I thought I would make their skin colorful, similar to the gods from Disney’s Hercules.

This is just a little story sample I had in my mind when I was envisioning how I want her powers to work. The way they work in Fury of the Gods is cool and all, but I wanted to add something more fantastical and visually wicked.

And don’t worry guys once the Shazamly comes to Billy’s rescue the curse of madness gets reversed. Just having his family around him to validate that magic is real, and to check in on him is enough to reverse the damage done to his psyche and return his arms/veins to normal.

Although, please do be warned, Kalypso’s curse is no joke because once the curse has fully corrupted a person, there is no cure to their madness, and their mental state will be permanently altered.

Added Rosa to the lineup!! 🌹💕❤️

She’s such a sweet and loving mother figure to all her children and is a big believer in second chances. She’s got some pretty artsy hobbies and loves her husband Victor! :D

Also her dress? I have no idea if anything like that dress exists in real life, but I figured it would be a cute sweetheart cut neckline with a nude mesh for the long sleeves. Then the design on the skirt kinda is supposed to give a rose petal vibe to it. SooOo yeah! :D

(Close up below)

Here’s Freddy’s design for both his regular form and his superpower form! ⚡️🩵

I was hoping to actually pick a different color for Freddy’s chest emblem however, I wanted to save a golden/yellow color for Mary’s design instead. But that’s okay I think he still works with a monochromatic and blue kinda vibe sooo yeah :)
