// Thank you for the @ Riviére!

it feels like home

you're the kind of person that makes people feel safe. you probably couldn't be intimidating if you tried, but that doesn't matter. what matters is your kindness and compassion, your innate way of making people feel happy. you're so good at taking care of everybody else, but don't forget to take care of yourself, too! you deserve the same love you give so freely

ROBELLA GETTING THE SAME ONE YOUR JOKINGG

Also i chose lavender as the color cause of Bella, if not I would have done black

Iced out, out of the sun

Your heart is very lonely, isn’t it? Is your fortress of ice self-made? Are others afraid of you, or are you afraid of them? Are you afraid of hurting them, or of being hurt? Vulnerability and connection can be frightening, but that’s no reason to shy away from their light, to tuck yourself small into corners, to build up frigid walls to keep yourself from feeling. You will heal when you allow yourself to draw closer to the flames and thaw.

Oh my freaking gosh, this just…this *is* Rowan. I need to do Ember now holy heck

@reesespieces-org @sumerus-little-sprout

What does your heart look like?

A tangled ball of red strings

Who are you without the company of others?

You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is.

You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place.

You don’t have to be everything to everyone.

// Maybe sometime we’ll come up with names for them…wish there was a generator for comedia names as well as fatui titles

And i think you summoned me, as co-creator of the Reverie title~ mwah, mwah, Riviére

What is Belladonna's commedia del arte name?

Hello!! Belladonna doesn't have a commedia del arte name, unfortunately, I wish she did. I know a lot of people choose Brighella as an option for it to make it fitting, but I decided to mix it up a bit and do something different. Her title is The Reverie as to not entirely replace Signora, and Belladonna's name itself is just an allegory to her personality and her penchant for poison.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, please ask! :D

[an-operetta-ablaze]

I have dealt with it…for these months. I will find a way to survive against the weight of my heart without her in her place in it, keeping it beating easily.

Mm, yes.

Well, first, Athea was…the light of my life. Before the Fatui—and even after I entered in—my life held no purpose without her in it. She was whom I had poured all of my love and care into, her joy, her life her innocence.

Why I had never told her of my Fatui work: her innocence. I know many would say she deserved to know but she was happy, she understood some things I simply couldn’t tell her, she knew…she knew I will always love her.

She would often steal my phone to talk with friends of ours in Mondstadt, I would always smile at the little messages she sent. I believe she even found Belladonna once and said hello.

I have a picture saved of that interaction.

The one and only time she will have gotten to meet my wife.

And it pains me even deeper than she never got to know of or meet our elder sister—in Arlecchino. It would have compromised both the Knave and Athea’s innocence, so I never did.

I planned to, maybe in a few years time when she’s a teenager, but…that never occurred.

She will never know another’s love beside mine. My deepest regret and pain.

Greetings. I’m Rowan Lawrence-Morozova—and yes, of the Mondstadt Lawrence clan. Nice to meet you, Brighella—if I knew your harbinger name I would use that out of propriety.

I find myself surprised we haven’t met, honestly, with the fact I’ve been here for a couple years now.

Anyway, you probably haven’t heard of me—I’m honored if up have—I share the late Signora’s spot with Belladonna Morozova as the Reverie.

Nice to meet you, and I hope you don’t mind me coming to say hello.

// Hope you don’t mind me popping in with Rowan! Take your time replying or if you’d like to wait till another one of the current ones ends to post no worries!

Lovely to meet you too, Rowan. I assume you do not mind me using that name if you gave it to me? Or would you prefer I use your Harbinger name?

It's Aegis, like the shield in that Enkanomiyan myth. But Brighella is fine too, I care little for what names others may use.

I find myself quite surprised too, ofcourse it could just as easily be blamed on the fact that I tend to travel quite often.

I think The Knave or The Captain may have mentioned you once or twice. And no need for all that, we're both Harbingers here, no? I think we can drop part of the formalities.

Oh not at all, I'm always happy to meet new faces, I'm sure you and Belladonna will be an excellent change of pace here.

[an-operetta-ablaze]

Thank you.

And it’s not your fault. You did nit know and I chose to share.

Please, no need to apologize for something you dod not know of.

I…suppose I could tell about her though. The good years.

I-

…

I…suppose I will tell you. Swear you will not let it reach another’s ears beside mine, the Knave, Belladonna or Capitano and Ajax.

I do- did have a sister.

I…killed her. Or what was left anyway.

She was possessed by a great evil of the abyss, to put it shortly. You probably do nit have much interest in my family affairs.

It was never my intention to harm her, my flesh and blood, my dear, dear heart persoified, but…I was overtaken to whims of my heart that was slowly crumbling bit by bit. I was helpless as my hold on her throat tightened until her once-so-youthful eyes dimmed forevermore.

Nothing but an ember in my soul.

Mm. I don’t partake much in the Tsaritsa’s plans much, anyway. Directly, at least.

Oh totally! I wonder what Barbados’d think, probably scorn him.

Ohhh, okay. Sorry, just used to…

Anyway. Ahem.

Rowan had thankfully stopped her thumbs before she had a chance to mention…Athea. She felt the all-too-familiar prickle of tears couple with the sting of anger at Belladonna’s sister, back to life.

The image of her own sister’s lifeless body under her was forever ingrained into Rowan’s mind, haunting her day and night.

Rowan and Belladonna, individually broken from the fire of their pain, everyone they cared about dead, had now broken apart too, trying their best to cling together through it.

The only question that remains is: will their love be enough to fill in the cracks?

Rowan and Belladonna escaped Teyvat just as the end came, with no time to save anyone else. After quite a while they found a place with the Stellaron Hunters, as they discovered Paths and the existence of Aeons. Rowan threw themselves into research of these mysterious things and how they could use them to keep themselves from getting hurt again.

Soon, Rowan and Belladonna joined the Stellaron hunters, offered positions by Kafka. Rowan threw away their moniker as The Reverie with the Fatui, too full of pain, while Belladonna held onto it.

They both go around on missions together, though stilted in their relationship all alone. They don’t have one planet they think of as their home-planet, though Belabog is most familiar, and Rowan favors Penacony as the gambling and drinking helps with their trauma.

Rowan Lawrence and Arlecchino live in a vast mansion by the sea, vampires born of wealth.

They both look over their manor, the ladies of the house with no men to be seen. Except for their parents, Ajax and Capitano, also Vampires and mates.

Rowan is primed in the art of seduction, often times finding a new bed warmer each night.

One day, however, when Arlecchino is out, that all changes. Rowan ambles down to the seasode dressed only in her finest, when she sees golden locks and only the sweetest voice.

Belonging to none other than a Siren:

Rowan was left to Teyvat by the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khanri’ah. They have no memory of any time she’s lived through up until the age of 16, caring for Athea, her two year old sister, and under the tutalige, “care” and order of the Lawrence clan of Mondstadt.

As Athea grew older, Rowan left her alone more often to do jobs for the Lawrences and have alone time. She met Venti as well and was taught Opera by him.

When Rowan was about 18 she was running low on money to care for Athea, the meager penance from the Clan barely enough for her to survive, much less their young sister, barely six years of age.

Because of that, Rowan was forced to go into work for the Fatui, a grunt to take care of The Doctor’s segments.

The years went on quickly from here, Athea never knowing how Rowan slaved to make ends meet or that she was compromising her values by working under one who values life so little.

When Rowan was about 22 they were transferred by request to another Harbinger: the new 8th—replacing La Signora—Belladonna, the Reverie.

When they met, at Belladonna’s greenhouse in Snezhnaya, they instantly fell for each other, florting almost immediately.

It wasn’t until later, at the request of Capitano and Tartaglia—Ajax—that in recognision of the honor Rowan held and the wirk she put in, she was promoted to the role of a Harbinger, sharing the seat with Belladonna.

During the inaugural ball Rowan received their Puro delusion from the Tsaritsa, and, afterward, Rowan and Bella first kissed. Though they were inebriated so they never confirmed anything with each other.

Belladonna and Rowan would then use kissing each other as a guise of sorts to get out of situations, though slowly falling into a relationship through it.

It was just after becoming the other half of the Reverie that Rowan and Belladonna were invited to speak with Arlecchino, whom Rowan also had befriended along with Belladonna, Ajax and Capitano.

Arlecchino then revealed Rowan’s background to her, and the fact that they were sisters. As well as being able to tell her that Rowan created Athea during her amnesia so she had someone to protect, as Rowan trusting the Knave enough to tell her of her sister’s existsnce.

Yet another few years later, Rowan proposed to Belladonna, obviously being accepted.

Shockingly sudden, only a few months following their engagement, was Athea murdered.

Rowan and Bella ventured to stalk the person who did it, for no ascertainable reason as barely anyone knew of her ties to her, and soon fought with Belladonna’s sister, Indigo, raised from the dead, along with Athea, posessed, even having been killed.

At the end of the fight, the shadow of Athea—not the one Rowan had loved so dearly for her whole life—had died. Brutally, at Rowan’s helpless hands, no less.

Little did Rowan and Belladonna know—both utterly shattered by the revelations that night—but both Indigo and Athea, now dubbed Ember, had walked away from the ashes of their pasts entirely unscathed. Alive.

And…Out. For. Revenge.
