I've always wanted to be a singer when I grew up. It was my dream for the longest time... But. Sometimes, nobody likes a freakish voice...

A young girl was swinging as she sang, she was in elementary school. Only nine years old but was unaccepted by other musicians.

"𝙴𝚠! 𝙸𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞-.."

The little girl turned, slowing herself down from the swing. She saw a group of four kids who were in the school band.

"Mhm! I like to sing, it's my dream to be a singer when I'm big!" She smiled at them till she was pushed off the swing falling into the pavement. She groaned, a hand on the back of her head while she slowly sat up.

"𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚞𝚐𝚕𝚢! 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚙. 𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊 𝚋𝚘𝚢?"

"𝙸𝚃'𝚂 𝙰 𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙺!!"

"𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚊 '𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕' 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚛𝚍𝚘..."

"𝚂𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚜 𝚖𝚢 𝚖𝚘𝚖 𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚜 𝚖𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝!"

"𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚘𝚢! 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚞𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎"

More comments came filling the girls mind. She started to tear up, she was born a girl but it seemed like others didn't see that whenever she spoke or sang.

She only got up and ran off into the school building.
"It's not that deep!... Right-" she thought trying to comfort herself.

I should've known nobody was going to be so accepting. It eventually got worse, I was mocked, some even threw objects at me with cruel notes. I wasn't accepted anywhere until..

Jelly was on sekai-tube, finding something entertaining. She recently finished some vocal warms up she'd do to help change the tone of her voice, Jelly despised her natural voice and would do anything to change it.

She wanted to sound cute and feminine, like all the different artist she hears. She'd kill to sound like that.. To have a cute voice to fit her face.

Jelly gave up singing a while go not seeing a point to continue if nobody wants to hear a song with an ugly voice. While scrolling she clicked on some random video in her feed
"Ah! Misclick!"

She tried to leave but the video are already playing "oh it's a song?"

She gave it a listen, she got chills from the voice of an unknown singer. She wanted to know more, the voice was.. Different?

"Who is this? They sing so cool.. It's low but also not?" She left the video to take a look at the artist
"A.. Ado? IT'S A GIRL!! SHE'S SOUNDS SO.."

She felt her heart race. The artists voice was powerful.. Trained.. Free. It was like a siren, the voice so beautiful lurring you in unaware of the dangers below the surface.

"Love ka? I love that song. Flowers tuning was so good!"
Eventually, Jelly wanted to mimic her techniques and listened to every song and cover of Ado. She even started to post covers of her own on niconico.

Wanting to be as good as her idol.

Years passed...

Jelly now officially changed her speaking voice but struggled to adjust her singing voice, it didn't mater however... She wasn't ever going to sing. She's not good enough vocally.
