(Character Pictures made with Picrew. Credits to creator @hunblooms in character profiles.) Plot: Set in the suburbs of Chicago, Eleanor, a young transgender girl, moves into a wealthy suburb after she escaped from her previous household. While adjusting to her new adoptive mother Meredith, she and her new stepsister Alyssa must navigate through the coming of age while exploring love, social problems, friendship, and their own identities. This is an idea for an animated sitcom that manages to be humorous and interesting while still including authentic diversity and LGBTQ+ representation without relying too much on stereotypes. Basically, what Q-Force wanted to but failed to be. Inspired by The Boondocks and Duckman, this show would deal with coming-of-age, romance, gender, identity, politics, social issues, etc., with a unique comedic touch. May include some elements of dark humor and maybe even a bit of fantasy.
