How did Saffron meet the gf?

OHH ANON. ILY. OC TIME. it's very unlikely i'll ever actually write the whole stories out but ocs are a fun thing to think about

First of all, who is Saffron? Saffron is a lizard. She is a shapeshifter technically so she could be whatever but sometime in life she decided she wanted to be a lizard, so she is.

here's a super old 2018-ish picture of her and the gf, Riley. Riley is actually the One Oc To Start Them All, meaning i made Riley first because of a Kirby Theme Week back when I used Amino (don't use amino it's bad).

These two mfers are the protags of one of the main stories of my Oc Cinematic Universe, Starlight Wishes (the other being Devil's Double staring Jay and Eni, because I like coming up with snappy names)

So. Backstory. One day, Jay, Saffron's brother, was walking through the woods (as you do) stepped on a live unexploded landmine (as you do when you are European, except this is Modern with Magic Europe, so it's not Europe).

this is because Jay started as an isekai self insert, which he still kinda is, and i decided life unexploded landmine was the funniest way to die

After the whole explosion thing, Jay met god. God is One of Two Gods, and she is a spider. I've currently forgotten her name but i have it written in a world file somewhere. Her name starts with T.

God is divorced, and her ex, Rinthera, is the death to her life. He's the god of death. Their divorce was messy. She found out some idiots are trying to resurrect her ex (read as: wake him from his post tantrum nap), and she really doesnt want to deal with this. Thus, she makes a deal with Jay: get back to life, and in return, prevent the ritual that'll call Rinthera to the physical plane of existence.

Except, when she drops Jay back down to earth, she makes a critical mistake: not accounting for the fact he was blown sky high and she snatched him right out the air. He falls. He hits his head. You can imagine what happens because this is fantasy tropes land: he loses his memory, and thus also his memory of the deal he made with god.

(this is the inciting incident for devil's double, which i will cease talking about)

result of losing your memory: you go MIA. Saffron gets annoyed. Then, she gets worried. Then, she sets out to search for him.

She's not very successful. She travels with a big sword because I think big swords are cool. So she ends up becoming like, a lizard swordswoman bounty hunter type shit. She WILL do your sidequests for you, that kind of deal.

One day, while she is out doing stuff, she hears tale of a dragon ravaging the fields of some farmer. She gets there, only to find out that the dragon is,,,,, a big doll. A really big life sized stuffed dragon doll that can also spit fire.

Said dragon is terrorizing a certified Maiden In Distress: long flowing hair, pretty petite dress, that type of deal. Saffron, being Saffron, defeats the doll dragon with her superior reptilian might, and approaches the girl. The girl, as it turns out, did not need rescuing, because she is a ghost, and thus, already dead.

As you might guess, this ghost is Riley, the deuteragonist / love interest of Starlight Wishes, the story I came up with when I was fixating on Kirby.

Riley says that there's basically just a whole outbreak of doll monsters, and she wants Saffron's help to stop them, since Riley has no physical form of her own. However, Riley can provide backup by possessing the dolls Saffron defeats!

Thus, we get to the entire plot of that particular story, in which the various ups and downs of hunting dolls together.

The two of 'em are pretty friendly with each other initially, buuuuut. Riley's not entirely honest. Such as the reason why she's a ghost to begin with, and what her unfinished business entails besides the whole doll deal.

I dunno if I wanna say it because it's like, the big plottwist of the whole thing, but I'm also prolly never gonna write it all so. Riley was killed by a knight because she was an "evil" wizard who just kept creating a fuckton of dolls that ended up going out of her control bcuz she was lonely :( why'd you kill her camilla. wait i know why, because you don't give a shit. c'mon camilla.

I genuienly can't get into the clusterfuck of a love confession for these two without explaining literally everything because it takes places at the story climax and it is very dramatic, involves a dragon besides the doll one, death lazers, screaming, the mortifying ideal of being loved, and kirby bossfight aesthetics, because i used to think of it more like a kirby fangame than a story, ykno.

After that whole world destruction deal is resolved and both of them get mental stability they realize they do love each other a lot and get together after Riley pulls shenanigans on a minor deity to get her body back. Hooray for necromancy! Shouldn't have abandoned your pet dragon if you didn't want that to happen, should you, god?!

Does Saffron actually end up finding Jay at some point? Yeah, when she goes home after a long day of doing sidequests with her gf and she turns on the TV to breaking news.

Love wins <3
