Safiya Godwin: Character Inspirations

[anestofocs]

What does your soul look like?

a rose colored sun

You are warmth. You are hope. You are always reaching, and reaching. You have a great love inside you, and you are determined to share it with others, to warm them from the cold and empty void. But you give too much. You have torn yourself open, and now your light is stained with your own blood. Do you think yourself too reckless? Do you know how to stop? You are passion. You are a burning, bleeding heart. All look to you for guidance, for your comfort, but who will catch you when you fall? Never forget, no matter how many times you fade beneath the horizon, no matter how many times your sun has set, you will rise again at dawn.

a field of painted flowers

You are the gentle sigh of spring and summer. You are full of beautiful life. You were always meant to bloom in your own time, and your time has come. You were never meant to be a wallflower, but the center of the bouquet. But you would readily trade anything for another’s sake. You would give up your place beneath the sun so another may feel the light. A peacemaker, a diplomat at heart. Conflict is the bane of your existence, as a weed amongst your garden. Your greatest challenge is to learn to confront it, to face your fears and your doubts and approach your ambitions with confidence, lest the weeds slowly overtake you. And do not think it selfish of yourself to ask to be seen, to be admired amongst your fellow flowers. You are worthy of praise. You do not have to kill what is special about yourself to fit in.

an ancient tree with gnarled branches

You are the old soul. You are a being full of quiet wisdom, but it did not come without earning it. Experience has weathered you quickly, yet you remain strong through it all. You are a bastion to those who need the support of a calm and resolute mind. The histories of the world are etched beneath your thick skin, and you hold dearly to things that others would quickly forget. You collect things within your branches, you give home to those left without, and you bear the weight of it all. But through all you have been through, you have not yet learned how to let go. You refuse to relinquish what you cherish so dearly and weep for every precious thing that falls from your branches. You must be careful, or else the past you cling to might destroy a brighter future.

[bolladonnas]

003: muse e donna são do mesmo módulo (iii para vilões) e estão na aula prática de sovinice. a tarefa é: entrar na casa da bruxa famosinha de joão & maria, roubar um doce e saírem despercebides.@svfiye​​

embora soubesse que o ambiente estava devidamente controlado, com a presença do professor e demais alunos as observando, belladonna não deixava de sentir-se nervosa; parecia que a adrenalina a percorria pelas veias, agindo como um combustível, a impulsionando. sabia que não poderia agir com o calor da emoção, era necessário ser racional, afinal, aquela atividade valia nota e não poderia dar-se ao gosto de ficar abaixo da média. fitou para safiya de soslaio, ombros sendo balançados enquanto avançava em direção a casa.       ‘      precisamos de uma estratégia.       dissera para a amiga, atenta a movimentação. ela sabia que não seria tão fácil assim.        ‘     com certeza terão armadilhas.        assentiu brevemente, os olhos buscando alguma movimentação no interior da casa pela janela.         ‘      joão e maria eram dois idiotas, precisamos ser mais espertas.

[mechahero]

@anestofocs asked- ⚔️ Crowe, Yuki or Safiya Send ⚔️ for a vs. battle quote to your muse (accepting!)

Battle intro: "We have gotta stop meetin' up like this." Victory: "Okay, seriously. We need to like, schedule this shit or somethin'. This is kinda dumb at this point." Defeat: "Guess you can have this one." Assist: "Not callin' dibs on this one!" Taunt: "You're not gonna wiiin! Or well, at least this round." Reacting to Taunt: "First of all? Rude? Second? I was here first!" Tie: "Man... whatever. I'm goin' home." Perfect Victory: "Ha! Yes! ...Now where was that other guy again?"

[mvncesa]

I can’t explain why but the video of safiya making a giant fucking ‘ franken’ wedding cake? my muse vibes

[cyborgpotato]

No one asked, but I've improved the design of my air genasi bard Calypso so so much through Hero Forge. The Face Customizer is a godsend. I've gotten (I think!) really good at posing too. I also made Quintus' face and them as kids too. I'm goin crazy on Hero Forge.

Also made all the NPCs and family in her backstory.

Her parents: Cassandra, the best mom ever, and Zephyr, a fun-loving djinn that Cassandra released from the bottle he was imprisoned in. They were only together for a few years, and he left after Quintus was born to track down the wizard that trapped him.

Calypso and Quintus consider The Muses of Brightmarket, the bard troupe that Cassandra founded, to be their aunts and uncles, but aren't genetically related to any of them.

Aunt Safiya and Aunt Akila are the dancers in the troupe, and are the ones mostly responsible for encouraging Calypso and Quintus'.... not-so-legal skills. Calypso thinks Safiya has the best fashion sense. Quintus loves to have backflip competitions with Akila.

Uncle Aaron is the other lead performer of the troupe, and the youngest by probably hundreds of years. Deep voice, extremely straight faced and tells lots of stories that are questionably true. Uncle Orsuk is the visual effects guy (*cough* illusion wizard *cough*) and the classic wacky distractable wizard.

Cassandra hired an old friend of hers to teach Calypso bard magic, and their name is Rhaza and they're the classic "gruff mentor" type.

Delta is the owner of the inn that Cassandra, Calypso and Quintus live in. She's grumpy and not very personable, but likes the money that Cassandra's performances bring in.

And finally...

Calypso's ex-girlfriend and armorer. Naomi broke up with Calypso because she thought that Calypso was using their relationship as an excuse to never leave town and adventure. They're still on good terms, which is good, because Naomi makes Calypso's armor, and both think they'll end up back together.

charlie

3. Describe your muse’s ideal holiday.

charlie loves food. genuinely she really likes being someone who likes to eat. breakfast isn't her favorite meal but she def always has breakfast. she likes scrambled eggs and toast but when she goes out (especially for review purposes) she usually gets something with a poached egg and also pancakes or waffles or french toast depending on her mood.

they have really strict routines for food and everything. they eat breakfast every day (whenever they get up even if that's like 4pm). what rotates is what they eat--sometimes a smoothie, sometimes bacon and eggs, sometimes breakfast burritos, sometimes omelettes, etc.

24. If social media existed in your muse’s universe, would they be on it? Which plattform/s?

"Ah, romance and roses, the perfect combination," Safiya remarked from where she was standing by the front window where she was hanging up Valentine's day decorations. Her eyes twinkled with excitement as she listened to Delilah. "Seeing those bundles always reminds me why I adore what I do. It's not just about flowers; it's about weaving emotions into every petal." She paused, her lips curving into a thoughtful smile as she feigned waxing poetic. She then sighed, wistfully, and continued on, "Valentine's Day indeed brings out the romantic in everyone, doesn't it?" Safiya mused, her mind already racing through her meticulously organized to-do list for the upcoming holiday rush. "As for plans, let's just say Back to the Fuchsia is definitely going to be blooming with decorations," Safiya glanced over at Delilah again, after hanging up another decoration, her optimistic nature shining through. "What are you going to be doing? Anyone special you'll be spending your time with?" She mused, teasingly, but also genuinely curious.

delilah & anyone

"hey love - how can i help you today?" the brunette questioned, placing the cuttings of the roses in a bundle together. "how precious is this? someone ordered it for their partner - romance really is in the air." a laugh escaped delilah's lips. "valentines day is approaching, do you have any plans?"

“what if we find out there is no mr. malnati? what if this whole time it’s just been a hotel controlled by a hamster? that would actually be kind of dope.” preston says out loud just before the soap runs down his face and into his eyes.

[anestofocs]

The drive was a quiet, uneventful one, thankfully the hospital wasn't too long from the house. As Safiya mentioned, there was peven more security around. From VSSE agents, Yggdrasil members to a few people Sergei and Crowe would reconise from working for G Corporation.

There shouldn't be any more trouble home wise at least.

As the car parked up the drive way, two of the guards opened the door for the family.

"All is well Mrs Kiyori." One guard mentioned as she stepped out of the car.

"Excellent, let me know if anything changes." Safiya spoke while inclining her head to the guard. Happy to see the two men home and safe.

"Welcome home my dears, you've been missed."

Hearing that news as he sat in the car was a bit relieving for Sergei. The security detail around the manor has been upgraded meaning there should be no more late-night attacks. The keyword being "should" in this case. He put his seatbelt on and looked out the window, happy he was finally heading home.
