Hello! My character, Arietty Moonfall, is blind from birth. I have several ways I play her so hopefully some of my ideas help and if you want you can RP with me to see how she does things.
1. Echo location. This is mentioned in here but Ari had some speacial boots, a tail ring and earrings made to help her see. She only uses these in cities or areas with a large amount of people.
2. Aether. My character is 'allergic' to aether and if she uses a large amount or is near a large amount she gets headaches so again she only uses it if needed.
3. Arietty is an engineer of sorts and so she helped developed a pair of goggles that help use Aether to see. This falls into number 2 about Aether but at a slower rate.
4. She has a very good memory. She counts stairs, learns the layout of the room and remembers it to help her get around.
In summary, she has many options to use to help her see but she relies on nothing but her own self to get around. I've been told I play a blind character very well and don't focus interactions on her being sightless but on how she deals with being sightless. Good luck, I found it very fun to play a blind character.
