Character Development Asks - TES (Sielaire, Renn, Astaire, Alwinarwe) @spatialheather

1. Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with? [Sielaire]

Her brother, Virano, is younger than her by 9 years. Her sister, Rilenya, is younger by 20 years. Though she’s taken care of both and protects them fiercely, Virano is more of an independent loner, while Rilenya is closer to Sie.

17. What was your character’s favorite toy as a child? [Sielaire]

Her grandmother left this splendid model of a ship in their house, and though Sielaire didn’t exactly play with it, she spent quite some time fidgeting and poring over it. Her father noticed, so he bought a few sailor toys that she could move around in the ship and play pretend. (She was the dashing, courageous captain, of course. And she’s rescued plenty of princesses and cats from sea monsters.)

18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others? [Sielaire]

When she was younger, ambition. It meant the person had a specific goal in life, something she lacked and sorely wanted. When she’s older though, she knows how ambition can often crash and burn without wisdom.

20. In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism? [Sielaire]

Self-criticism - it’s necessary in order to achieve Alaxon.

21. If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others? [Sielaire]

She’ll examine her own actions first, determine if she could’ve prevented it somehow. If it’s not her blame, she’ll look to others, but also recognises that sometimes there’s no blame to be had. Only circumstance.

2/3. What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother/father like? [Renn]

(I’m ignoring any datamined info on her mom, since Tuinden never appeared.) It was...good, in an Altmer way. Her parents gave her all she needed, and she never found her childhood lacking - in a material sense. Emotionally, she was more distant from her father than her mother, who stayed with her more often.

10. Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing? [Renn]

Just enough, then one more layer on top. e.g. shirt and pants + jacket, dress + shawl/scarf

22. What does your character like in other people? [Renn]

Boldness, ingenuity, determination, and a touch of cheekiness.

33. In the face of criticism, is your character defensive, self-deprecating, or willing to improve? [Renn]

Her first reaction is to be defensive - she’s spent too much time building herself up to be picked apart like that. But she bites her tongue, recognises there might be some truth hiding in the criticism, and listens. Whether she accepts it, however, depends on her own judgment.

-x-x-

31. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable. [Astaire]

A quiet night in the palace. She’s lounging by the lit fireplace, lying on plump cushions as she reads a novel about lands far from Summerset. A cat or two are lying on the cushions with her as well. And she knows both her parents are in their bedroom opposite hers - Sie and Renn are safe, and just within reach.

-x-x-

32. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most uncomfortable. [Alwinarwe]

When her parents are trying to matchmake her - again - and she can’t just blow off her suitor with a few well-chosen words, knowing her family would object and make her life harder. It’ll be even worse if her suitor actually shows genuine interest - which is rare.

Times like these, she sorely misses Ayrenn - her cousin has a gift for telling people to fuck off so subtly, they’d only reel long after she’s taken her leave.
