#Eddie unmasked I'll show too- working on an Eddie post

[hummingjay]

Hi!, idk if I have done this before, but this is when I ask 🫵✨you ✨🫵 to share any random fun fact (about any OC) that you want to share, but haven't had the opportunity to do so

OHOHOHOH THANK YOU THIS IS GONNA BE FUN!!! (and long)

Okay so let's start with Eddie! I did mention that she hates getting touched except by close friends, and of all the said friends it's usually Cricket. Whenever Cricket's panicking Eddie'll just quietly sit down with her to give her something tangible to hold. I just think it's a cute image.

OH! Eddie's not very sensitive about her face either. She rarely takes off her mask but she doesn't purposefully hide it from everybody per se. So if you spend over a couple days with her you'll see it. She also has a shrapnel scar on the side of her face.

Millie is the only one who routinely does something with her hair! She braids it mostly, while the other kasuars just use their low ponytail. Rosa likes styling it. Cricket also wears flowers in her hair whenever her visor is up, mostly cause she likes seeing Jensen happy. After Rosa gets used to Cricket's overall creepiness, Rosa also styles Cricket's hair.

Cricket ALWAYS smells like blood no matter what she does, and Jensen always smells like sulfer and potassium nitrate, just barely covered by the scent of wildflowers she finds. Also you know how Cricket likes tapping on Jensen? She has a favorite spot, on Jensen's palm, she just rubs it with her fingers whenever she's holding hands. Other than that, she puts her head in the crook of Jensens neck, leaning on her shoulder, whenever they're actually sitting down and snuggling. (Cricket is also the little spoon)

Eddie hangs out a lot with the Storches and Starlings. They think she's cute and has an odd polyculish situationship going on. At least 3 want her carnally. Eddie is unaware.

If you hit Eddie with a shovel that says "I want to kiss you" she'd ask you if you dropped your shovel.

Ritterhelm, if not under supervision and off-duty, will get drunk and eventually will snort gunpowder. She's rowdy but mostly harmless. Ritterhelm is the 'funny friend with a darkness in her eyes'. She's the most humorous and thrill-seeking, cracks the most Jokes, and the is overall the most spirited. She also wears the ruined hat of her dead lover as an armband and carries a photo of the two of them on her at all times. She's also the best wingwoman and helps Millie and Cricket out with their girls.

Eiche teaches Eddie swordplay! Ritz eventually loses her glaive and gets taught too after she replaces it with a sword.

Eddie is pretty much Eiche's adopted daughter, and she was the first to get transferred to Eicheholz's unit. Eiche is pretty much the mom of the group.

Originally (as in story-wise, not just in my head) before she stole the sword and blunderbuss, Eddie used a club and a pistol. She still has the pistol and gave the club to Cricket. She didn't have a name before she got her distinguishing weapons, just her designation.

Cricket's original design featured much bulkier armor and I plan on bringing it back. Despite the fact that Cricket is the big, hulking, violent monstrosity of a Kasuar who would 100% fistfight a god and win simply because she refuses to die, she's the baby of the group.

You can't really tell what Cricket is feeling by facial expression. she has a perpetual deer-in-headlights look. Nobody knows if this changes in combat because she flips her visor down. She also won't die. In reality she can obviously but she refuses to on account of she's worried about what'll happen to her friends. She's been impaled, shot, stabbed, and poisoned but somehow survived.

Cricket has never once used a nickname. Ritz is Ritterhelm, Eiche is Eichenholz, Jenny is Jensen, Millie is Millipede, and Eddie is Edward, sometimes Edward Teach or just Teach. She's not humorless, just not a nickname person. Everybody calls her Kiki after they get to know her though. Jensen is the only one who ever uses a separate nickname; "Little bug" or "little Cricket." (though Jensen still does call her Kiki often.) Cricket won't say it aloud but she loves it.

Kasuars are not inherently afraid of Falkes themselves. Just their voice. Once a Falke starts talking they freak out, then they're agitated by the Falke's presence. If a Falke is nice enough they can acclimate and get over said fear, like Eiche did. ÆON got wind of this and started forcibly making Kasuars work under Falke units to make highly efficient strike teams. They acclimate, and sometimes it works well if given time. Usually, they're thrust into it too fast and it shows, like they're not all there. I'll yap more about that later so I'll pause now.
