#Camilla Wester

[ghostinacardboardbox]

I just finished relistening to the Camilla Wester line and I just. LOVE her dynamic with Andrel.

Andrel is in a weird position most of the time because because she is a blue collar employee in a high risk job trying to pay off debts and educate herself (via dictionary), so she very much cannot be treated like a normal child. It would feel incredibly condescending to her and would minimize her accomplishments. But also she still IS a child and that has to be acknowledged. There’s a fine line between providing her the guidance she needs and treating her like she’s incompetent. And a lot of the characters try really hard to find that balance, but it seems to come just so naturally to Camilla.

Like they very much work side by side as equals but also Camilla is giving Andrel cute little nicknames and telling her she does a good job and then gets incredibly pissed when Andrel’s response is “thank you, I’m not appreciated enough.” She encourages Andrel to weaponize her youth to get Drix and Pip to buy her shit. Camilla never forgets that Andrel is just a kid but she also doesn’t treat Andrel like a baby.

OC Masterpost

Since the first one is outdated but I wanted to keep the information in it available, it's time for a sequel~! As with the last one, this is a collection of information about my little brain people that I like to draw and talk about, specifically ones who are currently active. Since these characters are active, I'll easily be able to answer asks both about and addressed to them, and this should serve as a quick reference point for if I mention any of them without other context. This time I've also embedded links to image references in their names so I can have those without cluttering the post.

Valerie Wester (Val) (She/Her), a Witch for Rifters (Monsterhearts), the hot mess express herself, the oc I talk about the most here in my #val stories tag. Poster girl for women's wrongs and fucking around. Evil bisexual and monsterfucker on main. Absolutely convinced she's the voice of reason while being the single most unhinged person she knows. Down bad for a werewolf with no idea how to handle it.

Echo of Starlight (She/Her), a drow Bard for Arctera: the Starlight Paradox (D&D), who's honestly just here for a good time. She sings, she tells stories, she has severe memory issues and difficulty in distinguishing dreams from reality, and she sparkles~! Her solution to most problems is being where the problem isn't, which often involves turning invisible and sneaking away.

Alison Whitby (She/Her), a Necromancer for the Lost Soul Chronicles (D&D) who specialises in Osteomancy and is a fairly direct Locked Tomb reference. A half-lich created by an egotistical wizard to be his successor, she aims to become the greatest necromancer of her generation through the power of bone constructs, impromptu surgery, and daddy issues.

Harper Lewis (She/Her), a Godbinder for DIE who has been turned from a human into a tiefling by the magic of isekai and is unashamedly into it (average transwoman behaviour tbh). She's made fast friends with the god of Trickery and plans to make that everyone else's problem. She once nearly got disbarred for making her opponent cry in court.

Camilla Asche (Cam) (She/Her), a Blood Hunter for Curse of Strahd (D&D) who is being kept alive by celestial magic after a Too Angry To Die moment. After failing to save her ward when falling into Ravenloft, she is dead set on making sure no one else fucking dies under her watch, even if that means she has to burn through the magic holding her body together to save them.

Ilia Celestis (She/Her), a tengu Sorcerer for Zephyrnos (D&D) who has been sent by her people to sort of spy on the organisation exploring this "new" land. The people who used to live their accidentally wiped themselves out through hubris, and Ilia is here to make sure they fucking stay wiped out. She uses the magic of storms, and her pride has got her into far too many stupid situations.

Aurora Zephuros (She/Her), a pirate I play in D&D oneshots. She isn't linked to any particular setting and most times I play her are one-off events, so the philosophy of "fuck it, it's a oneshot" runs strong in her playstyle. Aurora's MO is to be hot and swordfight and she does it so well. Even aside from those, she has a few extra tricks up her sleeve for when she needs a little more gaslight with her girlboss.

I have several more characters just hanging out in my brain, who will get added to this post if they become active enough to warrant it.

Im relistening to the Camilla Wester line and I’m enjoying it so much. The origin of the nickname “little spurs” and the running gag about Andrel reading the dictionary are from the same episode. The train’s ridiculous hot tub that hasn’t been relevant in years. It’s a good time.
