Ghoul Bat-Erdene is a very special character. I made them in 2020 for a roleplay group on discord. They slowly became a very crucial part of my self expression and I now use them for every single one of my projects. Some friends have pointed out that Ghoul is a persona, but I don't think of them that way.
I have a doll of Ghoul. Sometimes I hold them, and kiss them. Ghoul is like a roommate to me. I love them very much. They are more than a fictional character, a figment, a cartoon. Ghoul is a real person, they're a part of me, and they're separate from me.
