what is your underlying motif?

the bread

whether it’s your ability to rise against the odds, provide comfort, or be a staple in lives, your undercurrent is bread. you’re made from love and you carry it your whole life, to give on to others in any way you can. you’re delicate and it doesn’t take a lot to break you, but still you rise up and that is more important than what took you down. be careful with your heart, it’s so full of love that it needs to be treated delicately. you’re a staple in lives, a necessity, but not always as appreciated as you should be. so here is a thanks to you. m.f.k fisher said “ the smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight” and that my friend, that is you.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓?

to be alone; given some peace, to drop the facade.

You have never truly felt peace, nor quiet, nor a sense of being free in yourself. You need to be left alone, no knocks at the door, no questions or calls, you need to feel safe and private and to be yourself. You need to stand bare before your own eyes, and listen to your own voice, and to be without others pressing in upon you.

to be feared; to be seen as you are .. terrifying.

They underestimate you, you know it though you often ignore that. You are far more capable, adept, and even cunning than your peers believe, and that is mainly due to their misconception that you are not a threat. You don't need to intimidate others, you know your capabilities, you know what you can do. However, for once, you need to be looked upon with the fear you truly can, and perhaps have, elicited.

desire and sexuality

you’re mysterious and alluring. when lovers seek a magnetic connection, they pray to you. you’re particularly associated with eros, erotic love, and mania, obsessive love. you exude intense magnetism and your voice is like a siren call, luring anyone and everyone you desire.

𝐦𝐲𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐢'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬.

first things first, we are talking about myrsini's chambers which she grew up in at starpike. to get an understanding of it first, myrsini's room allows a lot of natural light in through two long windows [through one of which she sneaked out of in her early teenage years and broke her ankle]. her desk is by the opposite corner where she stores most of her things. these include books on herbs, flowers, their properties and symbolism, as well as scrolls and such of lyseni poetry and notes on both high valyrian and its dialect of lys. on her desk are a mortar and pestle, several bottles containing crushed herbs & flowers and devices to make tea and other... ways of consumption. there is of course a small bottle of eucalyptus & jasmine essential oils, used as perfume depending on the day's mood. there are a few metal vases with fresh flowers which are changed every day. on the other side of the room, between the door and the windows, is her bed; double, draped with lightweight covers and four pillows, two of which myrsini toys with for leisure. a couple of metres away from the bed is her mirror and chests with her dresses, varying in colors from white, orange, black, red and a few forgotten teal/green ones kept for sentimental reasons.

myrsini & injuries.

myrsini broke her ankle when she was fourteen years old by sneaking out of her chambers' window and so, her father refused to allow the maester to treat her. as a consequence, her left ankle/foot has a very subtle turn inwardly. it's a very small detail for which you really have to look out for, only really noticeable if myrsini is standing straight with her feet together. if she has to walk for long hours and carry heavy things, it aches enough for her to limp. from this same fall, she has a very faint scar across the tail of her left brow.

𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 ?     [․․]

carefully, like a gentle rain on dry Earth

You've been left beaten down and by someone you really trusted and loved, so now love doesn't come easy for you. You want it to. You want to love and be loved, but you're not sure you remember how. So you need someone else to take the lead. They have to be gentle and sweet and patient. They have to watch out for you, and make sure youre doing okay, because most days you feel a little fragile, if not totslly shattered. But someone will come along who will put those pieces back together again.

deeply, like the vastness of the sea

You are a very passionate person. You feel everything so intensely, and that definitely includes love. You need someone who will match that passion, that intensity. You need someone who will care about you as much as you care about them, but you have a hard time finding that. You're usually the one who loves more, and it's sad sometimes, but it's okay. But you will find someone who loves you just as much as you love them.

what part of this haunted house are you?

the welcome mat

How long have you been stained? I bet you can’t even remember the shoe that left it there, I bet there have been too many visitors to keep count. You watch people welcome themselves into your home, listen as they smash things against the walls and throw things to the floor. As they leave, you smile, say “thanks for stopping by!” and sit still as they wipe the blood off their shoes. You’ve gotten very good at that. Smiling when you want to scream. How long before your teeth are not enough to keep the sound inside? How long until it is their blood that is tracked across your home? I bet you’ll remember when and where you got this stain. I bet it’ll taste oh so sweet.

immediate family of myrsini peake.

house peake.

a noble house of the reach traced back to the first men. lord uther peake was married to prunella celtigar, a noble woman of valyrian origin; a successful match made by queen alysanne targaryen. it is possible that the following ruling lords of house peake cultivated their patriarchal insistence from uther peake himself, ursen included. however, unlike his older brother who was bound by duty, and gedmund who was much younger than both of them, he had always been able to raise his neck a little higher when it came to freedom of choice. many a maiden and experienced woman he had bedded in his youth, one of which being irene of lys; a young woman who had found her purpose in the performing acts, brown of hair and lilac-eyed. it was the rumours of pre-marital coitus—and her family's wealth—which allowed the two to marry, only a month after irene and her troupe had arrived in the reach.

house rogare.

a noble house of lys the lovely, dedicated to the work of banking. irene rogare is a younger sister to the head of the family, lysandro rogare and drazenko rogare, later prince consort of dorne. finding little room for herself in the family business, irene instead entertained singing, dancing and acting, like many did on lys. it wasn't long before she had to travel away from her family with a troupe, though she did not cut ties with her brothers. even after her sudden marriage to ursen peake, irene would often write to her brothers, even visiting whenever possible, despite her husband's reluctance.

/ cayenne /

Everyone says that you're so bright, so loud, so much and maybe you are or maybe you're covering up that gaping wound in your chest with fireworks. Or maybe you really are so bright so warm so hot but sometimes you wonder if anything will ever be enough to soothe that aching burning cold fire in your chest. You don't know what it is, can't ever let yourself close enough to that pyre to know if it's anger or fear or loneliness or grief but it's there and if you're good enough, funny enough, bold enough, maybe you can hide it from everyone else. Maybe there's enough of you and enough of the world that you can outrun it forever, your own fire bright enough to put that wound to shame. Bright enough to prove to everyone, anyone, yourself, your mother, your father, your friends, your classmates, the world, that you're enough. You're enough. You're enough.

Care to share some usfw myrsini hcs mayhaps?

i care very much yes.

let us begin with something i already mentioned on its own, which is that myrsini is keen on the use of aphrodisiacs, on the condition of course that her lover is also interested in using them. this may include foods [chickpeas were used in europe to aid with erections], herbs [mandrake, ive also read about catuaba but i'm not sure it exists in asoiaf, you get the deal], etc etc

i think she would like coupling outdoors, preferably during night time, preferably during a full moon [for no particular reason other than the fact that it's a pretty sight].

she likes to experiment with different positions [and surfaces/places; she's not so keen on the floor unless there's a lot of pillows. it's hard on the knees/back etc]

body worship for sure

honestly she might be into blindfolding; silk scarves work beautifully

it is important to remember that myrsini sees sex as an extension of a connection; however open-minded as she may be, she's highly unlikely to sleep with a complete stranger. whether it's a short-lived or a long romance, she's only willing to share her bed with someone whose company she already enjoys [this is not meant to paint her as demisexual, it's a conscious choice].

and with that said we come to my next point which is that she hasn't had many lovers in her life. the longest relationship of hers being with her husband. she has not done a lot out of the ordinary, but she's curious enough to try.

humiliation or degradation is a big no go. she's more lenient with language however; as long as she feels desired and not lesser.

let her strip for you

windows. excellent spot.

lowkey getting a flogging vibe. not to the point of bleeding, just to maintain a sense of thrill. keep it sensual [hands work just as well]

hickeys. everywhere. let her bite. or bite her.

she likes to use her hands. a lot. in whatever way. this includes penetration if you let her [especially with a female lover]

i wouldn't say she's loud but she doesn't restrict whatever sounds are produced

will use her mouth, not her ass

finish inside her [she's a herb expert she knows how to avoid unwanted pregnancies, raspberry leaves tea is a very old remedy]

hair pulling is a 50/50, both receiving and giving

sex for her is borderline ritualistic. she will never do it with her or her lover's clothes on

teasing in public to continue in private [verbal or physical, it's tricky to go up someone's thigh without anyone seeing but... yknow]

kissing. everywhere

going back to the aphrodisiacs for a moment. strawberries were considered an aphrodisiac food. strawberry marmalade on deliberate places. like... breasts. inner thighs. fingers.

she may or may not have gowns which are deliberately a little more transparent

[vhgr]

i always say myrsini has perfectly sculpted brows, because her brows do indeed have a very good shape. however we shan't forget the scar on her left brow from when she snuck out and fell.

[vhgr]

old and new facts about myrsini:

her favourite flowers are lilacs and she often uses extracts essential oils to use as perfume (under her ears, neck and wrists)

her mother taught her how to play the lyre

she sometimes smokes dried rose petals and lavender

she has a soft spot for cats and discreetly chases them when possible to pet them

she almost exclusively wears light-weight dresses (white, orange, teal)

her favourite fruit is cherries

she can speak the lyseni dialict of valyrian, and is aware of most phonetic differences with high valyrian (lysene mother, celtigar grandmother)

she's a hoarder and keeps the smallest thing she assumes might be useful in the future

myrsini has what we may refer to as a resting thinking face. it looks as though she's always thinking, daydreaming, or scheming something. in truth, she may just be watching the birds

she unfortunately gets headaches easily. as much as she loves festivals and the crowd, sometimes the people just make her forehead ache

she often thought about cheating on her husband and getting pregnant from someone else, but she never got the chance

[vhgr]

myrsini always, always has warm hands. sometimes, during hot days, she feels this kind of needling sensation in her palms. it's not painful in any way, just a dull pulsing.
