Here's a challenge, could you answer all the oc questions for Eirwen?

Here we go!

You can find the questions list here:

So for Eirwen's 2 and 3 answers. Click here:

1. What is the main color associated with them? What connections with that color do they share?

White. Eirwen's name is Welsh for "white/blessed snow". Naturally, her attribute is ice therefore the color suits her. It is also the color of innocence and purity. Eirwen lived a sheltered life because of her anxiety so she is still trying to adjust to being out in the real world.

Her favorite color is mint green. It's often associated with creativity which is perfect for Wenny's personality. I chose mint green because the first image that pops in my mind of that color is mint ice cream. Eirwen is very much like that ice cream flavor, chilly yet super sweet.

4. What mythical creature would they be represented by?

A unicorn. Just like a unicorn, Eirwen wants to help in whatever way she can as a symbol of good. However, due to her anxious nature she is rather shy. Unicorns are said to only appear before virgins...So, it goes without saying why she feels more at ease around Magna.

5. Which body part are they associated with?

Hands and arms represent strength, power, and protection. Eirwen works best with her hands. She sketches, sews, and shoots a bow with her hands. Her hands are also a big source of her anxiety. Her ice mana spills out from her bare fingers whenever she's stressed out. Even when wearing gloves, Eirwen still gets nervous about touching people. Compassionate touch can benefit one's life in so many ways. It helps strengthen connections with others. After living with the Black Bulls, Eirwen has become more determined to push past her limits and try to be less afraid of touch. Not only for her sake, but to let her friends know she cares about them too.

6. Which of the 4 seasons best fits them?

White, cold, quiet, and isolating winter was how most of her life was. However, after joining the Black Bulls? It was like a colorful bloom of the warm spring time. A season of new life, hope, and eventual romance. Pastels definitely suit her best.

7. What time of day are they associated with?

Afternoon tea time. Eirwen likes to take a break and relax from all the knight duties and sewing.

8. Which of the seven heavenly virtues are they associated with? Do they embody that virtue or are they trying to learn it?

Eirwen best embodies humility. She's diligent, sure, but her low opinion of herself causes her to doubt herself. She had a big case of imposter syndrome. It takes her a very long time to accept herself as an actual magic knight. Eirwen grew up being compared to her bright, talented, and beautiful older sister and felt like she could never hold a candle to Bianca. So the last thing you would ever call Eirwen is prideful.

9. Which of the seven deadly sins are they associated with? Is it a negative trait of theirs or something that they struggle with?

Envy. Eirwen's low opinion of herself makes her wish for things she can never have or be someone she isn't. She wants to be beautiful, smart, and admired. The sad truth is she already is, but doesn't see it because she wasn't praised as much for it most of her life. She also struggles with jealousy from her insecurities. So there's always a voice in the back of her mind telling her that her boyfriend or friends will leave once they get bored of her.

10. Are they closer to life or death?

Eirwen is no stranger to death. She lost her grandmother and then her father. For a long time, walling herself up from the world was like she was waiting to die.

However, becoming a magic knight put her in many life threatening situations. Every time she came back, she had surprised herself. Whenever she was cornered, she fought back and got stronger. She learned that what she truly wants is to live. So she is indeed closer to life, because she's still not ready to die yet.

11. Land, sea, or sky? Of the realms of the world, which one does the character belong to?

Because of her ice attribute, I want to say the sea. Like an iceberg, there's more to Eirwen under the surface of the water. Plus, symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks can give one the sensation of drowning. The sea can be calm and soothing but also choppy and restless in stormy weather.

12. Are they sun, moon, stars, or something else in space?

Moon. It has a gentle glow, soft to look at and admire. Despite taking it's light from the sun, the moon also has power over the tides and cycles. So despite her gentle feminine appearance, Eirwen still has power that one should never underestimate.

13. What kind of metal represents your character?

Platinum, less associated with wealth, but more with purity, especially in a technical kind of way. Eirwen just has no interest in rising above her status like her mother does. She does however want to be recognized for her own merits.

14. What kind of weapon do you associate them with?

Bow and arrow. Eirwen is best suited as an archer. She dislikes head on confrontation and fistfighting. However, she does want to protect and support her friends. So a weapon that allows her to do that from a safe distance is ideal. Plus, a bow has a lot of parallels to her sewing. Aiming is like threading a needle, the arrowhead hitting it's mark is like the needle piercing through the fabric. At the end of the day, it's just stabbing things.

15. Pick an article of clothing to represent them. What does it mean?

A dress. Eirwen will always be a girly girl at heart. The softness and femininity associated with dresses suits her personality. Her love of dresses inspire her passion and her desire to act on them. Dresses can be worn for casual or formal affairs. So Eirwen can be versatile if given the right accessories, or people in her corner.

16. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything in between. What kind of dish are they?

Afternoon tea time after lunch. Eirwen likes to take her tea with little finger sandwiches and sweets like macaroons or pastries.

17. What instrument would be used in their leitmotif?

A violin. There's something about the range of the instrument. How it goes from sounding soothing in one second to downright shrill and suspenseful the next moment. It would best capture her feelings of anxiousness.

18. Which card would they be from the major arcana of tarot cards?

I'll go with the Star. "When the Star card appears, you are likely to find yourself feeling inspired. It brings renewed hope and faith and a sense that you are truly blessed by the universe at this time." Eirwen's life changes for the better after she leaves her family home and she's never been more motivated to create.

19. Which of the 4 temperaments are they?

Melancholic. Despite being an introvert, Eirwen does get easily troubled if left on her own for too long. Which is why it's important that she have a support system of people to check in on her.

20. What word/phrase is central to their character?

"You calm me down."

Magna told her this when he was expressing how her being around him made him less mad at whatever shenanigans his squadmates (mostly Luck) were pulling. Eirwen ended up saying the same thing when Magna helped her through a panic attack. Magna and the rest of the squad become her safety net whenever she feels like freaking out.
