Pink Library #3: Paint It Black

I know I've been a bit absent lately and I do mean to do an update post since things have been changing a little recently but here's another Pink Library entry to start. 

I've been reading this story recently, not a gender change but a personality one. 


Bimbo to Goth and vice versa has always been a fun idea and they are very much polar opposites. Here, the girl is changed by mind control and magic paints as she slowly finds herself being changed and going along with it. There's a lovely moment of acceptance at the end as she's asked to forget the real her or who she thought she was, and go with the image in the mirror. The reflection is what's here and now so therefore the earlier image must be wrong mustn't it? A nice way of twisting our ideas of identity.
