Which colour(s) is she not able to see;;
She cannot see any, she has total colour blindness. Or Monochromacy:
Monochromacy, also known as "total color blindness," is the lack of ability to distinguish colors (and thus the person views everything as if it were on a black and white television); caused by cone defect or absence. Monochromacy occurs when two or all three of the cone pigments are missing and color and lightness vision is reduced to one dimension.
She also has these symptoms that occur with monochromacy:
severe light sensitivity (She cannot sit in a room that is brightly lit or go out into the sun for long)
long-sightedness
involuntary eye movements or nystagmus (It often makes her look like she is flicking back from one thing to another)
and central scotoma (she has a small black dot in the middle of her vison, she finds it rather annoying)
How does she deal with her vision defect?;;
She got used to it. That’s the only way she thought she would be able to overcome her defect. By learning to live with it. It was certainly tiring to do first. It was extremely hard to start dealing with it. She'd constantly refuse to talk about colours and if someone brought up the topic, she'd just storm off. It's not that she was trying to be rude to others, it's just she couldn't stand the thought of not knowing what they were talking about. She has to know everything. Often she'd break down crying and flailing. She sometimes did it in public when it just became too much and it gave her a lot of weird stares and muttering. She wished she knew what colour was. She'd imagine what they'd look like and how it would feel to actually be able to see colour. She'd go into a room and look at all the different greys and tried to pretend that this grey was this colour and this grey was this colour. Unfortunately, she knew that was never going to happen. She stopped wishing but then started to take in what she could actually see around her. She thought to herself 'At least i'm not fully blind' and she took her defect and turned it into a gift. She became more aware of her surroundings; she relied on shapes instead of colour. Different shades showed her whether it was light or dark, or what shapes could indicate where she was going or what was there. She and eventually, became more aware of different beans and their personalities because she couldn't judge someone by their colour. After a while, she felt like she could see right into a bean's soul just by looking at them. She noticed their facial expressions, their body language, their quirks because she they weren't blinded by colour. This is how she defined colour as. Difference in a bean's soul and their personalities. And now she knows what it is like to see colour. Even though she can't actually see it.
Although she can only see black and white, the way she thinks about things is certainly not in the usual black and white way. She thinks beyond the spectrum about things.
