#HAIR LENGTH DOES NOT EQUAL GENDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fire-of-the-sun]

NOCTIS' TRANSFORMATION ANALYSIS

"We carefully considered the path of Noct's life and sought a design that would convey his humanity with with the passage of time. I asked Naora-san to look at him as a real person and to depict his aging with realism rather than symbolism." - Hajime Tabata

The decision to age Noctis up from a 20 to 30-year-old not only enhances Final Fantasy XV's coming-of-age story of a young, unprepared prince transforming into a fully matured king, but also offers a unique insight into the choices made behind the external, physical changes intended to reflect said internal development. I've seen a lot of conversation about his altered appearance ranging from approval to confusion to downright rejection. So, as someone who enjoys analyzing faces and character design, I'd like to explore this change in depth. How did Noctis go from the stereotypical clean-shaven, spiky haired anime pretty boy to a rugged, masculine man? Were the changes too bold? Does he even still look like the same person? And what does his evolution say about other men in the Final Fantasy franchise?

FACE SHAPE

Noctis' face is symmetrical and well balanced with nearly equal thirds, the lower third of which increases slightly in length at 30. I drew over his jawlines as best I could manage as his hair is in the way on both and older Noctis' face is angled slightly downward, making these guidelines less accurate to compare but, even at a glance, it's not hard to see that his face and chin do widen at 30 to accommodate a squarer jawline.

It's normal for many men's jawlines to develop a little as they age but it typically emerges during puberty. At 20 years old, Noctis should probably already have the jawline he has at 30 or close to it. Of course, a jawline can be strengthened through various means but, unless Noctis was mewing in that Crystal for a decade, this change doesn't make a lot of sense to me, which makes it more of a stylistic choice to emphasize his older age and to add a notable dose of masculinity which naturally takes a step away from the younger, more 'feminine' appearing traditional Final Fantasy face type. Compare young Noctis or Cloud's face to someone like Lightning: the overall shape isn't too different and certainly a staple of the franchise regardless of gender.

EYES

(For the sake of better comparison, I've edited 30-year-old Noctis to have his natural blue eyes)

I've seen complaints that the change in Noctis' eyes makes him look less Asian. He is biracial, of course, and his features aren't and shouldn't be considered fully Asian, but I believe the reason behind this criticism is that, in the effort to contract and narrow his eyes to be more realistic at 30, his epicanthic fold is less visually obvious as his lacrimal caruncle are enlarged, which inadvertently makes his eyes look comparatively less Asian. This change serves to shrink his eyeball while taking up the same margins on his face with the length and even eye slant all remaining identical as far as I can tell, as is the overall shape and space between the eyes.

Noctis does maintain the same basic eye shape from childhood to adulthood, it just narrows as he ages which is completely normal. Despite the particular tastes of the Final Fantasy franchise, having larger eyes to depict youth is very common in animation of any kind with children bearing especially large eyes that shrink as they age. This was no doubt the intention here as well to depict Noctis' relative adolescence at 20 and continue to embrace their stylistic history of other Final Fantasy games.

I also want to note that his eyelashes are less thick and prominent at 30, which acts as yet another change for realism and a step towards a more masculine appearance.

NOSE

(Consult the previous images)

For many faces, the edge of the nose typically lines up with the inner corner of the eye which they finally do for Noctis at 30. As I've already stated, the margins of his eyes did not change, which means the alteration in nose size to be accurate to realistic proportions where it wasn't before contradicts the stylistic choice to purposefully give him a smaller, slimmer nose at 20. Also, though I don't have a comparison shot of his profile at both ages, his nose obviously not only increases in width but also length at 30 to match his altered proportions.

EYEBROWS

Where some changes are more subtle and feel like logical extensions of what came before, one of the more striking differences between 20 and 30 is Noctis' eyebrows as he loses the thin, manicured brows of youth and gains, well, more natural looking male eyebrows. I will point out that they appear lower on his face at 30 because he's tilted slightly downward and bears a more intense expression than the neutral pose at 20 which makes the exact angle a little harder to compare here but, that being said, I do believe they sit slightly lower on his face at 30 in general. Though they sit at essentially the same angle, the overall shape has changed a bit. Not only do they become thicker, they also frame the eyes more along the browbone which is very different than the sharp, nearly straight line of the brows in his youth.

Choosing to change his eyebrows so significantly is an interesting choice and perhaps one made not only to be more realistic and less like Final Fantasy characters of the past, but also to look more like his father as was part of their intention with his older appearance.

It doesn't necessarily feel like a choice borne purely from age either as Prompto and Ignis maintain their previous, thin eyebrows even in their 30s (as well as most of their other features). Instead, this alteration (among others) feels more in line with Gladio who, as the most traditionally masculine member of the group, similarly boasts thicker brows, a squarer jaw and facial hair, further proving that this is the direction they wanted to take Noctis as well.

LIPS

There's not much to say about his lips as they remain the same shape and are only lengthened a little. Typically, the outer corners of our lips correspond to near the center of the eye but, as his eye margins have not changed, the slight lengthening of his lips is yet another adherence to realism to better fit his adjusted features and widened face.

EARS

(Consult previous images)

Ears typically line up with the top of the eyebrow and the bottom of the nose and, though his photo at 30 is tilted more downward and this naturally changes the angle of his ears and makes them appear higher on his face, they seem to be proportional at both ages. That being said, based on these images alone, they do seem to change shape to me with the outer helix appearing to stick out farther at the top and taper in slightly towards his lobe at 30 whereas his younger ears appear narrower at the top, rounder overall and widest towards the middle. Our ears can change shape and size as we age, of course, I'm just not sure there would be a noticeable difference after only a decade, and they could have potentially been left unchanged in my opinion.

HAIR

"From their [characters] hairstyles and clothing as children to the expressions and posture they develop as adults, their individual traits and the way they change over the years all inform the looks we created." - Yusuke Naora

I think it's important to note that Noctis maintains the same basic hairstyle for the majority of his life from a child into his teens and early adulthood, which feels indicative to me of how it's meant to convey that he hasn't truly grown up yet. The abandonment of this style for the first time in his life at 30 reflects great inward change: letting go of the boy he used to be and becoming a new man.

Though his two hair styles seem vastly different at first glance, I love that the foundation of the first is easily identifiable in the second. The boyish bangs and choppiness at 20 help to emphasize his youth - an element that is largely abandoned at 30 in an effort to help him appear more mature as he adopts a rugged, unmanicured style that enhances his newfound regality. The formerly long and well-maintained face frame has been shortened slightly with loose strands left to fall randomly rather than sustaining a clean sweep over his cheeks. Where the bangs have gone, a few errant strands remain to fall across the left side of his face - a vestige of what once dominated the area (and a similar feature to Ardyn as well). The vertical, gravity-defying spikes at the top of his head have been abandoned entirely and left to join the cascade of hair falling down his neck at greater length and the spikes at the sides of his head have also been left to curl softly over his ears. The results feel inevitable for a man who has left his hair mostly untouched for a decade (with some tidying up) and a natural extension of what came before.

While we're discussing hair, I also want to address Noctis' beard. Love it or hate it, it certainly aids in helping him appear much older and kinglier (a direct reference to his father) and also acts as further evidence of his Asian ancestry as the texture and lay of the beard hair is noticeably different than that of his father's, Gladio's and the other White men around him.

SKIN

Barring the fact that older Noctis in this image (and throughout most of that chapter of the game) is usually very dirty with a face marred by sweat and grime, his skin tone is also noticeably warmer. I'm not sure why this change was implemented and allowed him to go from a paler skinned youth to a warmer skinned man (especially not having been touched by sunlight in a decade), but perhaps it's a result of his new power and another step toward realism as there may be a tendency to have Final Fantasy protagonists be paler skinned in general as a stylistic choice?

It also goes without saying that Noctis was given a few small moles at various places on his face to give him more realistic skin and not a flawless, porcelain doll look.

AGING

"We didn't just add typical aging details, but also referenced images of war veterans and actors to find the 'sublime' characteristics, from single wrinkles to hair tips that could express the magnitude of Noct's fate and life experiences. Also, in keeping with the father and son theme, we made it so you can see Regis in Noct's face, with features such as the beard bearing his essence." - Yusuke Noara

I believe the main narratively validated reason Noctis' appearance receives such a drastic change over the course of 10 years while his companions were barely altered, is no doubt attributed to his unique aging from the power he now possesses due to his time in the Crystal. We know that simply wearing the Ring of the Lucii has a physical cost even for those meant to wield it as it can scar and age prematurely. This led to Regis aging rapidly due to his overextension of power upholding the wall, looking arguably older than he should at just 50 years of age. It's also a marked leap from how he looked just 12 years prior. His black hair had been bleached to grey and his body composition clearly waned given his difficulty with mobility.

Having been imbued with such immense power for so long, it's no surprise that Noctis has also aged at an abnormal rate, perhaps biologically looking closer to 40 rather than 30, I dare say, just as his father appeared older than his actual age. This aging, of course, led to all the altered features discussed above as well as more visible fine lines under his eyes and slightly greyer hair, the latter of which is harder to notice in the main game, but a clear distinction made in the hyper-stylized Pocket Edition.

BODY

I've seen some comments lamenting that Noctis' older face makes his head look a little too large for his body. Though I'm not entirely convinced his head was actually enlarged overall, it could appear that way given his widened jaw and possibly neck that inadvertently produced a sense of disparity as his body remains the same as it did at 20 - the only thing that didn't change about him over the time skip.

We know Noctis was essentially frozen in suspended animation inside the Crystal for 10 years and was ostensibly sustained without food or water due to its power. However, time still clearly passed for him as Noctis' mind has matured just as his face, but his 20-year-old body is left untouched. It obviously doesn't make sense for him to have gained any muscle without exercising all those years, but I'd argue that altering his body by increasing his muscle mass even just slightly could have avoided the complaint regarding his head size as it'd allow his new face to match better as well as continue to support him feeling older and at peak strength given the Crystal's immense power now surging through him. A mild change here could have made a big difference, but this is just what I would have done.

CLOTHING

Let's quickly address Noctis' evolution via clothing as what a character wears is just as important in reflecting their identity as their physical appearance. Dismissing the optional outfits you can choose to put him in, I'll be focusing mainly on his default 20 and 30-year-old clothes as these are what the creators intended to best suit him in their respective sections of the game. This leap in style is as seemingly vast as his physical changes and helps to emphasize his growth just as much as his face, albeit with some base elements that are maintained such as the continued adherence to all black clothing (of course) as well as the use of a jacket and collar.

Young Noctis' appearance from hair style to clothing is obviously very youthful and not overtly regal - at least not to the degree you'd expect from royalty. Noctis clothes feel modern and edgy adorned with skull motifs, resulting in a style that feels a bit rebellious and incongruent with his father's pristine, kingly wardrobe and even that of the immaculately clothed Luna, both of whom are characters he's meant to emulate to fulfill his destiny. In this section of the game, Noctis isn't particularly ready for the role, as his clothing helps to emphasize.

As a 30-year-old, Noctis abandons the clothes of his youth and adopts a simple but dignified suit, granting him a more regal, mature and capable appearance which helps to enhance those newfound qualities. Where his wardrobe stood out before, his suit now feels in line with what one would expect of someone in his position, albeit not entirely distinct as Lucian royalty beyond the color - that is perhaps best represented in the kingly raiment he wears towards the end that acts as a direct reflection of his father and further showcases his tremendous growth and acceptance of his title.

THE PROGRESSION OF FINAL FANTASY MEN

I'm no expert on all the titles in the Final Fantasy franchise so forgive me if I'm off about any of this, but, as far as I've noticed, male Final Fantasy protagonists tend to share a similar appearance: young, clean-shaven, stylized features, spiky/over-styled hair with thin, and rather effeminate brows. Think of Cloud as the poster boy of this look. 20-year-old Noctis fits squarely into this category, making his leap outside of it due to a significant time skip (and design choices) an interesting one to examine as this has never been done with a mainline male Final Fantasy protagonist before.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have the latest protagonist, Clive (a character who also aged significantly in his game and ends up at 33), who stands out as a unique addition to this roster with his more obvious masculinity as depicted by his larger build and facial hair. Though still stylized to a degree in its own way, Clive and the direction of Final Fantasy 16 as a whole trend more realistic for the most part, avoiding the more typical stylization choices of previous titles and striking a new direction into more Western appealing territory as was the intention, but though he embodies these qualities to a more notable degree, he certainly wasn't the first attempt.

With a foot in both worlds, Noctis bridges the spectrum with his younger self being more in line with past characters like Cloud, and his older self acting as a prototype to pave the way for a protagonist like Clive. Time will tell if this series continues to lean into this new style choice and feature older, more traditionally masculine men or if we'll return to the classic, more overtly stylized, 'pretty boy' formula for its male protagonists. Regardless, Noctis' bold leap in age and appearance will always stand as a notable choice that helped pave the way into new territory for the Final Fantasy franchise.

CONCLUSION

As we've explored, Noctis' appearance changes drastically after the 10-year time skip. From his eyes, brows, nose, ears, hair and even skin tone, every feature on his head has been altered to some degree with the exception of his untouched body. Did he need to change that much, though? Honestly, probably not. As I surmised, most but not all of these changes felt entirely necessary or even logical based on the foundation of what came before but, rather, felt like choices borne of a new adherence to realism over past stylization in the case of his eyes, nose and lips specifically and a desire to masculinize him as evidenced by his rugged new beard, strong jawline and thick brows - all elements of which result in turning him into one of the most realistic looking protagonists in the entire franchise, in my opinion, even if the journey to get there arguably pushes the boundaries of normal age progression at times.

This departure from what came before was certainly a bold choice and not one that worked for everyone as I've seen some lament that such a dramatic change coupled with a sudden timeskip made him no longer feel like the same character, but I'd argue that change is also the point. By the end of the game, Noctis has grown and transformed in all the ways he needed and that's the purpose of the entire story and therefore a necessary choice in telling it. The creative decisions behind the changes are, of course, debatable. I for one really love the alterations and think the creators were successful in aging Noctis in a mostly realistic way that visually embraced his inner king by outwardly reflecting his father and also offering audiences a taste of something revolutionary for the brand.

These are just my thoughts. What do you think about Noctis' change in appearance and which age do you prefer?

Fujin watches you with a fond smile as you trace the sides of his face with your fingertips, eyes twinkling in love and adoration. With no tournament or immediate threats to worry about for now, he has all the time in the world to unwind with you—something he hasn’t had the chance to do lately. He does his duty as one of Earthrealm’s protectors with pride, so the weight of it never bothers him. Still, he notices everything, especially the way you’ve been withering more and more lately.

Though you insist you’re “low maintenance,” time away from him has clearly taken a toll on you. Your smile doesn’t reach your eyes anymore and you seem more unconfident, frail. It’s completely unlike the you that he fell in love with. But he’d vowed to himself that he’ll be with you through thick and thin, through the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Everything Fujin does for you is out of pure love and devotion, and he’s fully committed to ensuring that you can feel his love.

The screen doors are wide open, allowing the comforting breeze to come inside while dried leaves dance across the ground. Chatter and sounds of combat training can be heard from outside while you rest on the futon facing him. The furrow in your brows isn’t as prominent as it had been when you first arrived, but he can tell that there’s still something on your mind. He runs his fingers through your hair, gently scratching your scalp every now and then. The action has you melting under his touch just the slightest, tension easing off of your shoulders.

“I missed you.”

The way you sound so blue and broken makes his heart ache. He sighs through his nose and brings you closer, resting his warm hand on your back. He needs this just as much as you do. Every hour without you leaves him hollow. Every day without you is excruciating. He has insurmountable love to give to humans and Earthrealm, but today, he yearns to give it all to you.

The corners of his lips subtly twitch upward. “I missed you too. I regret that I couldn’t be here sooner.”

“It’s okay,” you mumble, “I’m just happy to be here with you.”

Equally pleased to be in your company again, Fujin presses a gentle kiss to your forehead, making you giggle in delight. The way you respond to his affection is only one of the endless things he loves about you. He can’t help but let out a chuckle of his own, tucking your head under his chin.

“I wish we could stay like this forever,” you say quietly. “No enemies, no bloodshed. Just… us together. At peace and at home.”

“As do I.”

His fingers trailing up and down the length of your spine has you breathing out a content sigh, eyelids fluttering closed. Soon enough, one of you will be needed by those who want your help, but for now, he’ll bask in this comfort with you.

Hi! Sorry if this is a bit weird but may I please ask for a platonic/ familial Xie Lian and younger sister reader? I’ve only watched the donghua so I’d prefer not to get spoilers for the novels if possible.

Thank you!

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚ content - Xie Lian , Reader is from Banyue kingdom , Lowkey made the reader more gender-neutral than female whoops , Reader has no parents , Very subtle undertone of child neglect , No Triggers

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ author's note - thank you so much for the request and don't worry, it wasn't weird at all! i wish there were more fics in TGCF with sibling!reader dynamics. apologies for taking so long to write this out, but i hope it's to your satisfaction. perhaps i can make a part two or write any specific scenario if you have one in mind. :)

Xie Lian met you right after his time in the Banyue kingdom, falsifying his death and then fleeing. He'd begun wandering on his own again during this time and loneliness had slowly begun to nip at him, guilt clawing at him due to how everything had turned out. Being nothing more than a passerby in some miscellaneous village, he'd never planned on taking another kid under his wing.

You had been running through a field after a butterfly, determined to catch it and not paying attention. This led to you stumbling over a napping Xie Lian who was hidden within the tall grass, trying to catch up on some much needed rest. He was startled to say the least, but he was quick to process the situation and help you up, reassuring you that it was okay after your seemingly endless apologies.

From there it didn't take long for you to grow attached to Xie Lian, small and craving some sort of affection that you lacked with an absence of parents. He was equally lonely and in desperate need of someone to take care of to help stave off the negativity brewing within him. You left the village with him later on after a few small protests when he tried to decline, saying that you'd be better off in the place you didn't consider a home.

Anything and everything you wanted to learn was readily available. Xie Lian was happy to teach you how to read and write, encouraging you to discover the world around you. He'd ensure you would had everything you needed whether it be ink and a quill or some scroll with a story to be told. Money was never flowing very easily from his pockets, but he did just about anything he could to make sure you were fed at the end of the day.

Despite the times in which this takes place, Xie Lian thought it was important for you to be capable of self defense in case anything happened while he wasn't with you. This led to you learning the basics of sword wielding and martial arts, a force to be reckoned with regardless of the assumptions many would make about women during that time period. He definitely would do his best to make sure you didn't overwork yourself if you trained tirelessly, trying to emphasize the important of resting.

If you ever want to play with his hair Xie Lian definitely lets you, sitting there as you try a variety of hairstyles that resulted in knots half the time. He could do a simple braid or bun for your hair, but he's practically incapable of doing anything further. Even though he'd been without assistants for several decades now, he still wasn't completely used to doing certain things on his own let alone for other people. This doesn't mean he wouldn't try, though, regardless of the length of your hair.

Xie Lian definitely buys you pretty skirts and other more feminine outfits when you're little, but he'll refrain from doing so if you don't enjoy them later on. He'd definitely put little bows and ribbons in your hair, possibly get you a matching set with a doll he bought for you prior to this. Overall, I think Xie Lian does his best to set a great example for you and help prepare you for life because he knows firsthand how difficult it can be.

Broly/Gender Neutral Reader - Scent

Summary: There were few things Broly was unable to part with-- Bah's ear, being one of them. Most things he took his time easing himself into like citrus fruits and showers, but others were much more difficult to bear-- one of those being the removal of his shock collar.

"Can I have my scarf back for a little bit?" The mere thought of parting made Broly's skin crawl, but after all, it did belong to you. "I promise I'll give it back before bedtime." Broly hesitated to move, long enough for you to notice something was off. "S-sure." He raised the scarf over his head, taking in the loss of warmth and the odd scent of his home. Is this how it always smelled? Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Thoughts began to pile up in his brain and before long he was fidgeting with the hem of his tunic again.

The red rash stretching around the base of Broly's neck was growing worse every night. When Bulma's father arrived to inspect it, after one look he gave you a diagnosis.

"This is no rash. These are self inflicted scratches."

"Scratches?" You asked. "How?"

Dr. Briefs inspected the massive hand resting in Broly's lap, standing intrusively close to the now uncomfortable Broly before waving you over to join him. You also looked, only to find his nails bitten down on each finger.

Broly, speaking for the first time since Dr. Briefs arrived, interrupted.

"What does… self inflicted mean?"

Dr. Brief paused, straightening his posture, as if just now recognizing Broly's presence. "That means you've got a nasty little habit there, son."

Broly didn't react, just blinking at the smaller man unamused and admittedly, even more confused than he was before.

Dr. Briefs turned to you, adjusting his glasses as he spoke. "He's been scratching himself in his sleep. It's really not all that uncommon, although, the location is fairly odd. Wait right here, I'll return with my tried and true method for curing this little problem."

The older man quietly exited the room and when he was far enough away you glanced over to find Broly, quietly biting at his thumb. You smoothed your fingers over the tender flesh of his neck, making him flinch at the sudden contact.

"I'm sorry, does it hurt?"

"No." He didn't look at you when he spoke.

You brushed his hair from his neck, revealing the full collar-like length of his scratches. His voice interrupted your worried thoughts, "I can still feel the shocks, sometimes. When I sleep. Sometimes when I wake up, I can still feel it tingling in my skin."

Guilt sat heavy in your belly as you recalled pushing him to remove the collar, before you could voice your concerns, in walked Dr. Briefs.

"I have some good news, son. For being such a good patient you get two prizes." He pulled two objects from behind his back. "A scarf and a pair of mittens."

You both looked equally as puzzled, before you interjected. "Did you take that from my hallway closet?"

He approached Broly, taking the fuzzy infinity scarf and wrapping it around Broly's broad neck and chin.

Upon inhaling, Broly was quickly overcome by your familiar scent.

Dr. Briefs tossed you the pair of familiar knit mittens.

"There. Now that scarf should distract you from the itching and the mittens will keep you from biting and scratching while you snooze."

"Wait, that's all?" You insisted.

Dr. Briefs chuckled. "Well, no sense in buying new fancy stuff when the old stuff works just as well."

As he turned toward Broly he took on a tense expression.

"Listen here, son. You kick that habit or else. Ladies don't like men with bad fingernails, or at least that's what Mrs. Briefs tells me--" "--Goodbye Dr. Briefs." You replied with urged movements.

He clasped his hands behind his back, turning to offer you a kind smile before heading to the door.

"Let me know how that works for him, Y/N. I am one Capsule Corp call away!"

As he left, you couldn't help but feel concerned for your other private belongings, but pushed that idea out your head as you soon noticed Broly seemingly deep in thought, completely oblivious. He wasn't biting his nails or fidgeting with his hands as he so often did when his mind was unoccupied. Instead the hyperaware man sat silent, eyelids heavy, seemingly lost in thought.

"Looks like it's already working. For being a bit peculiar, Dr. Briefs does know a thing or two after all." You didn't appreciate him volunteering your stuff, but far be it from you to take away something that makes Broly happy.

"I'm gonna go make myself some lunch, do you want anything?"

Broly didn't respond, instead letting his eyes fall shut, and his back hit the bed. You took that as your cue to leave, tossing the mittens on his bare chest. You smiled to yourself as you shut the door behind you, your departing footsteps barely audible over the thump of Broly's heart.

He wasn't sure how long he'd laid there like that, but it wasn't long before he had drifted off to sleep.

You were almost overjoyed when you saw Broly the following week after. The flushed red scratch marks across his skin were now just a memory. No surprise, considering he's a Saiyan. 

"I haven't woken up at night at all." Utter amazement in his voice as he spoke. Before this he hadn't had a full night's rest since the collar was gone.

"I'm so happy for you, Broly!" A warmth tingled in his cheeks which he quickly tucked away behind your scarf after hearing that. You broke into a huge smile, a smile you only reserved for when you had a great idea. "Let's celebrate! I'll make some snow cones!"

"Snow? Cones?" Broly didn't follow.

"You've never eaten snow cones before?" "Why would I eat snow?" A pain welled deep within your stomach as you recalled the delicious frozen desserts of futures passed. "I'm gonna make you the BEST snow cone-- you'll love them! Vampa is perfect for it. I'll get some snow from outside."

In a sudden haste, you rose from the kitchen table and quickly got dressed, pulling on your coat and boots as Broly watched in confused silence.

"It could be dangerous outside, I should go with you." "I'll be fine. I won't be going too far anyway." It wasn't until now that you noticed your scarf still tied around his neck. "Can I have my scarf back for a little bit?" The mere thought of parting made Broly's skin crawl, but after all, it did belong to you. "I promise I'll give it back before bedtime."

Broly hesitated to move, long enough for you to notice something was off. "S-sure." He raised the scarf over his head, taking in the loss of warmth and the odd scent of his home. Is this how it always smelled? Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Thoughts began to pile up in his brain and before long he was fidgeting with the hem of his tunic again.

You pulled the now significantly warmer scarf around your neck as you turned out the door. "I'll be right back."

Broly didn't answer as you left, too overwhelmed-- too hyper aware of everything, every tick of the heater, every gust of wind that would rattle the front door. He didn't have it in him to deny you your scarf but he was quickly realizing he wasn't going to be able to adjust so quickly.

"Broly." Your voice echoed in the hallway leading up to his room but there was no answer. You sniffled as you approached his bedroom door. "Broly?" You knocked gently, earning no response.

Sure, Broly was no stranger to your struggle meals, but you worked so hard on those snow cones, you just had to see his reaction to it.

Being a worrywart that you are, you let your anxiety get the best of you, cracking open his door to find his room inexplicably empty. Just as fear trickled up your spine, you heard what sounded like a thud from your room, down the hall. 

Quietly you opened the door, peering around to find Broly splayed across your bed, what looked to be child sized mittens tugged over his fingers as he laid face deep in your pillows, fast asleep. As far as you know Broly had never even seen the inside of your room, let alone laid in your bed. You wanted to be mad and annoyed, but the sight of his body causing your bed frame to creak with such agony almost made you want to laugh. You breathed a sigh of relief, tip toeing, albeit pointlessly, across the room to toss your blanket over him.

I guess I could sleep in his bed for tonight.

꒰ alias ꒱ emerald mania, the emerald reaper, the grim reaper, the immortal, the primordial rhytaari, the emerald bane, copper’s right hand, the first sorcerer, the master of magic, ( bunbun

꒰ story ꒱ 

a being of immense power, a master of magic and often considered magic itself.

once destined for greatness, now turned to a life of cruelty and resentment. quite literally the first known sorcerer who had been scorned and aggrieved to such a brutal degree that he finally snapped. after a ritual to resurrect his lost lover results in a nightmare, he morphs from a being who was meant to teach and strengthen to one who tears down and laughs when gods fall.

in an effort to sate his own violent nature and find a way to cure his beloved, he goes on a quest. becoming the first false grim reaper and giving them a bad name in general. snatching souls and experimenting on them; observing how they work, breaking and bending them in any way he sees fit.

alongside his equally as terrible husband, he has learnt that there is no glory in benevolence. instead he thrives on the idea of being malicious and a bane to the divine. inhabiting his forests and woods, luring in unexpecting souls.

why do you think they say to not look into the trees

 

꒰ appearance ꒱

emerald eyes with slitted, cat-like pupils. sclera and pupils disappear entirely when he is casting certain spells — his eyes might also become completely black. wears undereye eyeliner

mid-length, layered, black hair that tickle the base of his neck

olive fair skin tone

sharp yet ethereal features

stands at a tall height o 6’11” ( 210cm ) with a slender build

black lips with two gold, thin vertical lip piercings on his lower lip

two large black horns protrude right above his forehead and extend upwards and back. with thin gold chains draped along them, dangling emerald gems

has a long, black, thin demon-like tail with an arrowed tip 

two large, sharp upper fangs and two lowers pairs ( right beside each other )

long, dark claws that extend from his third knuckles

a lean, diamond-shaped emerald gem on the centre of his forehead, light below it is a small emerald dot. both are outlined in gold. these store magic

typically wears gold rings, thin gold chains and gold bangles

wears a lot of black robes with green trimmings, often robes that hug onto his body

gold and emerald navel piercing

triple lobe and industrial piercings adorn both of his ears, while a single helix is on his right

 

꒰ personality ꒱

ever the charming devil, beyond charismatic. quite alluring and mysterious

sly and cunning by nature, never lets those around him know his next move

brutally honest. even his jokes are blunt, which tend to throw people off. knows exactly how to pierce a soul in the right way with the truth and those souls are perfect for experimentation

a malevolent being who is callous in most things that he does, unafraid to crack some eggs

he finds his malicious actions amusing and typically keeps a smile even through the most gruesome of things. can have quite the dark sense of humour

quite hard to read due to this, one might not know when he truly is joking or genuinely happy

can be quite erratic when it all boils down to it and have severe mood swings

while he has a short temper, it is barely shown through conventional anger. his smiles and throws passive aggressive or threatening jokes all around. the shift in the atmosphere around him clear enough to make anyone stop talking

his true rage is grim and not one to be meddled with

caring and playful with those that hold his heart, however

quite possessive in nature, definitely yandere esque

 

꒰ with a lover ꒱

 with a lover, emerald shows his more playful side that is not rooted in malice. discreetly leading you into corners of the cottage or wherever you are and trapping you there to fluster and tease you, before tickling you a bit to see your smile

 incredibly passionate and flirty lover, especially the latter. it ties into his love of seeing you flustered as he displays absolute shamelessness.

 another one of his favourite things to do is scare you; in the slightest of course. little jumpscares along with the occasional spooky story here and there because he enjoys holding you and kissing away all your little fears.

 loves it when you cling onto him — it makes it so much easier for him to display his *main source* of affection: physical touch.

one of things he cannot stop himself from doing is to pepper kisses all over your face whenever he sees you, his hands giving you small affectionate and loving squeezes around your shoulder blades, waist, hips, thighs, arms — anywhere you allow him to touch. he just wants to show you how much he *loves you.*

he often whines whenever you make him let go. he’s always surprising you with random spouts of affection through the day; at times he may even come off as clingy

 and oh. . .  as an artist, emerald finds himself using you as his muse and often sketches you in all different formats yet grows irritated with his inability to capture your absolute beauty. you give him such intense feelings of creativity and yearning, and he becomes so frustrated when he cannot fully express it. . .

 dates with him walks through the woods and cooking with him. 

 though remember, amongst all this affection and adoration, however, there is a darker side to emerald. he is not all happy and joy house-husband or material boyfriend at times.

 due to past traumas, he can be rather possessive to the point where it does turn yandere like.

 he will provide you with everything that you could possibly want and need — why would you need to leave the cottage? he just wishes to keep you safe, surely you understand that?

 is it to see that human he caught glancing at you during one of the walks in town?

he would never want to hurt you, no. . .

but he is by no means above locking you away if you refuse to listen.

 

꒰ strengths ꒱

witchcraft: possesses the ability to manipulate various forms of magic including all variations of magic. this extends into being able to cast a wide variety of spells. has a vast knowledge of mystical spells and incantations invoking names and aspects of various extra-dimensional objects, beings and sources of power.

energy projection: the ability to turn his magical energy into tools, objects, weapons, and other items to suit his needs. he can use these projections for other purposes as well, such as create powerful energy blasts and forcefields.

wild magic: birthed with wild magic running through his veins, chaos runs through his blood, granting him incredible powers.

curses: he has the ability to both cast and lift curses. should you be one of the unlucky ones he decides to curse, it’d be best you find a curse lifter soon, or of course you could beg for him to lift it and spare you more curses in the future.

soul trapping: with one swing of a scythe, he can trap souls within its blade and later use them for experimenting and research on soul matter — how the soul works beyond life.

soul manipulation/puppetry: he has the ability to manipulate souls. using them as puppets or manipulating with their matter to see how sour and bitter he can turn a soul and then reverse the effects to see what can solve the bitterness.

[wanderpawn]

To celebrate the one year anniversary of my Fontaine Hyperfixation, I'm finally posting my favorites of my headcanons for Neuvillette and Furina !! ＼(^-^)／

These will just be random things I believe to be true about them!

Neuvillette: (I'll try my best to keep it brief...)

They have no innate concept of gender, it kind of goes hand-in-hand with the "no concept of human society" thing.

But one day, shortly after first coming to Fontaine, they see a man dressed in a classy outfit, and they think "oh, THAT'S what I want to look like."

They don't think they're built for it, though, unfortunately....

(Do you get what I'm hinting at. They're afab.)

ANYWAY. onto the actual headcanons.

Neuvillette cut their hair shoulder-length post-Masquerade of the Guilty

They like to wear the ribbon from their long hairstyle on the back of their head sometimes (it takes a lot of courage, though).

Disabled legend... they use the cane for trials, sure, but they also have a chronic illness that makes it difficult to walk and causes balance + coordination issues

They have OCD... but also ADHD. And autism. Can dragons have autism? I think they have autism.

Neuvillette has a dissociative disorder. Namely, dissociative amnesia, as they can't remember anything about their past or where they came from. They probably have some form of personality fragmentation, too. I could talk about this specific headcanon for hours (please go watch Neuvillette's character teaser with a reputably-sourced list of symptoms if you don't believe me 🥺)

Another point, I think they have chronic migraine with photophobia. That's why they hate direct sunlight.

They spend their free time sleeping and researching anything that interests them. And taking walks; on sunny days they carry a light-blocking umbrella.

Here's a crazy one— they're actually only an inch or two taller than Furina. They frequently wear platform shoes to make themself seem taller, though (but it does NOT help with the balance issue. Speaking from personal experience.)

OKAY LAST ONE I SWEAR. Neuvillette's voice sounds like a scrunkly little shonen protagonist, but with some femininity to it. They don't have much range, though— if they yell, their voice cracks really bad. (when I first heard their Japanese dubbed voice, I flipped the crap out so bad because it was so good!!!! ( T ∀ T ) )

Furina: (I am sorry it's shorter.... I just have massive Neuvillette brainrot....)

Furina is very crafty and likes to do activities like sewing and decorating things

They're super good at makeup and coordinating outfits

They get hyperfixated on the books they read.... like a fandom type thing....

They have perpetually messy hair because they spend a lot of time sleeping.

They have ADHD. And probably abandonment issues

They're genderfluid.

They grow their bangs long so they can hide behind them when talking to others as Ousia Furina.

They have a dissociative disorder, with alters known as Pneuma Furina and Ousia Furina.

Pneuma Furina is very happy and energetic. They love to be social and are very cheerful!!

Ousia Furina likes to keep to themself, they have a more depressed/nihilistic outlook on life.

Both are equally Furina, though!!

Thank you so much for reading... this isn't like my typical posts, I hope it was fun to read ( ´; ω ;` )

ALEXANDER MASTRONADI

OVERVIEW

FULL NAME: Alexander Mastronadi

CURRENT ALIAS: Kreios

NICKNAMES: Alex

BIRTHDAY: December 12th

GENDER: male

SEXUALITY: heterosexual

PRONOUNS: his/him

CITIZENSHIP: Americans

SPECIES:

AFFILIATION: X-Men

BASE OF OPERATIONS: Xavier Academy, Leopold Estate

APPEARANCE & PHYSICALITY

ETHNICITY: Italian-American

ACCENT: New York City, Manhattan

DOMINANT HAND: Right

HAIR: wavy, dark brown

EYES: cerulean blue

BODY: Alex is quite tall, lean, and agile. H

UNUSUAL FEATURES: none

STYLE: Alex's style always was on the edgier side - dark colored shirts, dark jeans, rock/heavy metal band shirts - that sort of thing. Ever since the invasion, he seems to gravitate specifically towards black clothing.

FACECLAIM: James Norton

PERSONALITY

Alex is reserved - he is quiet and observant and keenly aware of his surroundings at all times. Alex truthfully, is not someone who is easy to get to know. Rarely trusting people, Alex prefers to keep people at an arms length, not wanting to get specifically close to anyone. Of course, this means that he comes off quite cold and aloof, which he absolutely is.

He is also a massive control freak, constantly needing to control every aspect of everything that happens around him. Part of this stems from the fact that he doesn't trust people easily, and the other is the fact that he believes that no one else can do things the way he wants them done and it's easier to just do it all himself as opposed to delegating or asking for help. Of course, this has slowly changed for the better over the years.

In general, Alex is also exceedingly organized, very sharp, and a quick study. Exceedingly precise and methodical, he is definitely a higj achieving perfectionist who will not be satisfied with anything less than perfect. While Alex's perfectionist tendencies do tend to rub off on his team mates, he is careful not to put the burdon of perfection on their shoulders and tends to keep it to himself - he holds himself to impossibly high standards. This is a big part of why he's so driven as well. He is also exceedingly competitive and absolutely detests losing.

Another aspect to Alex is his morality - he has rather rigid views on morality. Everything is black and white - good or bad. Nothing is grey. Because of this, Alex tends to unintentionally put the people closest to him on pedestals, often refusing to see and accept their flaws. So when these people do fall from his graces and make mistakes, Alex essentially cuts them off entirely. It's hard for him to accept that these people are fundamentally flawed. Naturally, this has gotten him into several fights with his friends and fellow team members. And just as he is quick to anger, he is equally quick to forgive and forget as well. Of course, that is only if you're already on his good side.

On the flip side, it's very difficult for him to accept that people can change for the better. Again, this is rooted in the fact that Alex does not trust people. However, his time at the Academy has helped him overcome this a little - he now trusts his team, and his notion of morality has become a little more flexible with time as well.

While he's not the easiest person to get to know, Alex is extremely loyal and exceedingly protective of the people closest to him - he will quite literally burn down the planet if it meant saving them.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Much of Alex's true abilities still remain unexplored. It's believed that his mother's line carried the X- Gene that would have resulted in mutations that allowed them to channel the sun's energy through their bodies, essentially becoming solar conduits.

Similarly, Alex is able to channel the energy of the sun and release it via his body, primarily through his eyes. The way this works is that the energy and heat of the sun are channeled through his body and become increasingly condensed and released through high-powered laser beams.

To take it one step further, Alex is also able to release the sun's energy through his body in other channels - he can raise his body's temperature to dangerous levels affecting, enough to melt physical objects and metals, and also ultimately altering the climate patterns locally temporarily. Additionally, he can also release the sun's energy through his palms via high-powered laser beams.

RELATIONSHIPS

MATERNAL FAMILY

Mother : Isabella Mastronadi

Alex was extremely close to his mother prior to her death - he seemed to have inherited the x-gene from her. Isabella, while possessing the X-Gene, had no visible mutations or abilities, and it's widely believed that any abilities she may have had were dormant.

PATERNAL FAMILY

Father : Derek Mastronadi

Alex had always been close to his father and idealized him as he grew up. After the death of his mother, Alex's relationship with his father changed and deteriorated drastically. Alex learned that his father was an executive on a pharmaceutical company's board who had been involved in a series of drug trials gone horribly wrong and was involved in covering it up. Furthermore, he also learned that his father had been cheating on his mother with his secretary for years. Since then, he lost all respect for him.

FRIENDSHIPS

Freya Sieger

ROMANCE

Rosaria Huntington

Rosaria Huntington means everything to Alex. She was and is his first true love. Their relationship started out as rivals as children, but soon grew to friendship when they realized that they were more alike than they'd like to admit. Rosaria was the only person who was able to knock his walls down and get close to him - she was also the only person who didn't seem to be bothered by his aloofness.

They always shared a special relationship, often communicating via telepathy with one another. Because of this, Alex could always "feel" Rosaria - he knew exactly where she was and what she was feeling.

When she went missing during the invasion, Alex never stopped blaming himself for what happend to her and spent the next few years in an obsessive state, doing whatever it took to find any information on what happened to her.

Francesca

Alex began dating Francssca, a fellow survivor in 2026. No one really understood how they were dating because they were exceedingly different in terms of personality and priorities. However, people were happy to see him move on or try to at least. But even though he dated her, his mind was almost always preoccupied with finding Rosaria.

HISTORY

Alex was born to Isabella and Derek Mastronadi in New York City, and was raised in Manhattan. His mother's family ran a pizzeria and his father was a pharmaceutical executive.

Growing up, Alex was the kind of kid who was always in trouble - not for instigating problems but for defending and standing up for those he perceived to be victims.

At the age of 12, Alex's mother was killed in a mugging gone wrong- she had been on her way home after closing up the pizzeria and was only a block away. Her death devastated Alex and changed his life forever. Alex began to spiral in all aspects of his life - he lost his motivation to do anything really and was exceedingly angry and depressed, unable to process her death. To make matters worse, he also found out that his father's company had been involved in several lawsuits for poorly managed drug trials and that his father played an active role in suppressing the lawsuits. Alex also learned that his father had been cheating on his mother for years with his secretary and had been planning to divorce her.

Disillusioned and angry, Alex decided he wanted nothing to do with his father and ran away from home. He spent the next few months bouncing between homeless shelters and sleeping at the local library. One night, Alex felt extremely unwell and resorted to taking some pain medication to soothe the pain. What he didn't know was that he had accidently taken one of his father's company's medications. For humans, it worked as it was supposed to - it relieved fever and surpassed pain. But for mutants, it seemingly activated the dormant X-Gene.

Alex soon after began to shoot laser beams from his eyes, virtually destroying everything in his pathways. Given the widespread damage, the officials at the homeless shelter reached out to Professor X and urged him to take Alex to the Academy. Shortly after, Alex met Professor X, who enrolled him in the Academy alongside other mutant wards. By then, Alex's eyes had been so damaged by the laser beams that he was forced to wear specially designed glasses that suppressed the laser beams.

Alex was weary of the Academy at first but soon grew to enjoy his time there and became fast friends with his fellow peers. He also found himself idolizing Professor X and wanted to prove himself to the Professor by winning his favor. This was of course to be achieved by being at the top of his class . And thus began his infamous rivalry with Rosaria Huntington.

Eventually, his rivalry with Rosaria became a friendship, and before he knew it, he had seemingly fallen in love with her. Now, this was exceedingly obvious to literally anyone but Rosaria. At the age of 18, Alex finally got the courage to ask Rosaria to be his girlfriend officially.

In 2019, the Academy was invaded by American armed forces. This not only resulted in the destruction of the Academy, but also in the death of several mutants including Professor X and Rosaria. While Alex never quite accepted that Rosaria was dead, he was distraught by the fact that she was missing.

For the next few years, Alex obsessively looked for Rosaria, often going through questionable means to find any information he could about her. He seemed haunted by the fact that he could not feel her presence.

Around 2026, Alex began dating a fellow mutant survivor - Francesca. Later that year, Alex awoke, and for the first time in years, he found himself not using his glasses. His eyes were healed. Unable to explain how this happened, Alex devoted his free time to learning more about his own abilities and mutation, furthering his abilities to channel solar energy. He'd eventually learn that Rosaria had unknowingly healed him through the tears of the Phoenix while she was astral projecting one night.

TRIVIA

Around this time, Alex also started to "feel" Rosaria again, often telling his closet friends that he would see her often in his sleep or that he could feel that she was still alive.

Alex loves black coffee and rock music.

He also obviously loves the sun and loves beaches.

He hates winter, and the snow

# wanted  connections.

allies:  working towards a greater good.

would   be   riverlands   nobles   who   have   seen   the   stagnation   of   their   seats,   and   wish   to   further   their   own   lots.   would   be   loyal   towards   house   tully   (or   at   least   appear   so)   working   towards   the   same   goal,   of   injecting   wealth   and   power   back   into   the   area.

enemies:   seeing beyond the mask.

maybe   a   childhood   friend   turned   enemy,   a   rival   of   years,   or   just   someone   who   can   see   beyond   the   affable   mask   he   wears   for   the   world.

Profile

Height: 5'2" Age: 19 (season 4) Weight: 135lbs Eyes: Blue Blood: B-

Rochelle is a young woman with light skin, bright blue eyes, and long light brown hair braided with pink and blue ribbons on the right side of her head. She wears a soft pink dress with elbow-length sleeves, a light blue corset vest, and a matching blue skirt overlay with a beautiful design reminiscent of stained glass windows embroidered on it. She also wears blue, heeled boots, short, lacy white gloves, and a short necklace featuring a crystal heart-shaped pendant.

Powers and abilities

Rochelle is a Birman Werecat. Like a werewolf, she can transform into a feline creature. Most of her abilities are physical, but she does have some magical ones.

Her powers include, but are not limited to:

Shapeshifting (Rochelle can turn into a Briman cat, a monster cat form, and grow some of her cat trails (ears, tail, claws, etc.) while maintaining a primarily human appearance at will.)

Animal communication

Healing Factor

Other abilities she has include, but are not limited to:

Superhuman Strength

Superhuman Speed

Superhuman Durability

Superhuman Agility

Superhuman Dexterity

Superhuman Reflexes

Superhuman Senses

Other facts about Rochelle's magic:

She hates getting dirty and is the biggest clean freak out of her family. Kilian helped her find the best skin/fur and hair care products since Notre is hopeless when it comes to that stuff. She and Kilian love having father-daughter self-care days, and sometimes the others join them

She can purr even in her human form. Whenever she's relaxed, it just happens naturally, and sometimes she doesn't even notice. Jacques and Sélène enjoy napping with their sister as her purring is very soothing

When she was younger, she would turn into a kitten and curl up on her father's shoulder. Thankfully, Notre has very broad shoulders, so Rochelle can comfortably relax on one of her favourite spots in cat form even as a young adult

Her necklace stays on in any form and changes sizes to best fit her forms

She likes chasing mice for fun but doesn't eat them

She can get hairballs in cat or human form. Both are equally annoying

Her canine teeth are sharper than human teeth, even in her human form. It's not so noticeable compared to her monster form, but people can spot the shaper than average teeth if they pay attention

Like werewolves, the moon forces werecats to transform when it's full, but unlike werewolves, werecats maintain their sanity and the human mind

Synopsis

Rochelle is the oldest child of Notre Chevalier and Kilian Bontemps. She was adopted by Notre when she was a baby after Cirque de Nuit found her with her mother, who was dying. Rochelle's mother begged them to save her baby, who wasn't even a week old yet, from the supernatural traffickers who had tried to sell her and her husband. Rochelle's birth father died during the escape, and her mother ran as fast and far as she could without looking back. But sadly, she was very sick, and by the time the circus found her, she was too far gone to save.

Honouring the mother's dying wish, the circus took Rochelle into their home and family. To everyone's surprise, the baby seemed to gravitate towards Notre. She always wanted to be around the gargoyle, and she lit up whenever she saw him. Some people teased the strongman about it being fate since Rochelle means "little rock" and Notre is made of stone. Whatever led to Rochelle entering Notre's life didn't matter to him. He loves his daughter, and while he wishes there was something he could have done to save her birth parents, he will do everything in his power to ensure Rochelle grows up safe, happy and, most importantly, loved.

Rochelle got all of that and more. Even if she never got to grow up with her birth parents, she knew they loved her and would be proud of her. She loved living with Cirque de Nuit, and while it could be lonely at times without other kids her age to play with, the performers made sure she never felt left out or alone. They were her family, and Rochelle was grateful that the universe led her home to them.

When Rochelle was about nine years old, Kilian and Jacques joined her family. Although she didn't interact with them much when they first arrived, she remembers how scared Kilian was. He believed the circus was going to hurt him and his baby. Rochelle remembers being ushered away when Kilian had a breakdown shortly after arriving. He begged them to leave him and Jacques at the next stop as he couldn't repay them the way they wanted him to in exchange for shelter and protection.

(While no one would talk about the incident with her, Rochelle suspects Kilian believed the adults were planning to use him for their pleasure after she learned of her stepfather's old job later in life… Thankfully, the misunderstanding was corrected, and Kilian joined the circus as the magician's assistant.)

With Jacques joining the family as well, Rochelle enjoyed no longer being the baby of the circus. She also loved watching her father fall in love with Kilian as time passed; the poor gargoyle had never experienced romance before, and it showed! But while some might have teased Notre for his cluelessness, Kilian didn't. Instead, he helped Notre learn the ways of romance and had so much patience.

Now that her father had found his other half, Rochelle felt her family was complete. Two loving fathers and a baby brother made everything seem perfect. As the years went by, things only got better and happier for the circus and Rochelle's family. While she was sad to leave the circus when her fathers informed her and Jacques that they wanted the kids to have a formal education, she knew their goodbyes were not forever, nor did their leaving mean the love and family they had built was gone.

The town they settled in was small and quiet, so different from the loud, rambunctious life they lived with Cirque de Nuit. It was nice, but it didn't feel like home… However, in hindsight, it didn't matter because the family moved to Concordia before they could try planting roots in that little town. It had been a whirlwind move in the dead of night, with Rochelle holding her newborn baby sister and little brother while her fathers loaded up the carriage with their things as fast as they could.

As Éclipsa pulled the carriage with the family towards Concordia, Kilian told Rochelle why they needed to leave and why Sélène was now a part of their family. Rochelle secretly always wanted a little sister, but she never imagined this was how her wish would be granted… She hopes Sélène's biological father never finds them, but if he does, Rochelle is not above clawing his eyes out to protect her sister!

On the plus side, Concordia immediately felt like home after they moved into their new house. Maybe it was the addition of Sélène, or perhaps it was the fact that the city had much more excitement, but whatever it was, Rochelle was happy fate brought her and her family home. She loves her new home and the life she was making in Concordia. To top it off, the creation of the Circus of Dreams not only brought new joy to the city but also brought a piece of Rochelle's old home to her new one.

Even though she wasn't much of a builder, she could make costumes with her eyes closed and was so excited to design new costumes for the performers. She was sure everyone would love the circus (excluding a certain Deacon and nun…), and she couldn't wait for their opening night! Not even a murder on the circus' grounds couldn't tarnish her hope of success.

However, Kilian's disappearance could! Rochelle tried to stay calm while Jacques panicked, but she couldn't help the worry that ate away at her heart. So, she and Jacques hurried to the Flying Squad's airship to request their uncle's help finding their father. Waiting for Isaac to find Kilian was torture, but Rochelle was relieved when he was found. While it would take time to heal his wounds (both physical and mental), Rochelle was happy to have her father back safe and sound.

Story Information

First appeared: The Greatest Murder

Trivia

She learned how to design and make clothes while growing up in Cirque de Nuit. Rochelle used to help the members who made the performers' costumes and discovered a talent for fashion design. She's considered one day pursuing a career in fashion, but for now, she's happy making the costumes for The Circus of Dreams performers

Her design is inspired by Rochelle Goyle and Catrine DeMew from Monster High

She makes the majority of her clothes and clothes for her family. It's useful when finding clothes that fit her father's build, and Kilian's style is so hard. Rochelle is excited for when her sister gets bigger so she can make her cute clothes

Rochelle wants to visit Paris one day and see the city from where her parents came from. Notre doesn't talk about his life in France much (not that he talks a lot in general), but the stories he tells his daughter of Notre Dame always increase Rochelle's desire to see the cathedral for herself

She loves stained glass windows. She finds the colours captivating and the details beautiful. It's why she designed clothing inspired by the multicoloured pieces of glass artwork

romance headcanons

name: Logan Finnegan

nickname: Sarge (various other nicknames verse dependent)

gender: male

romantic orientation: bisexual

preferred pet names: baby, honey, sweetheart, love

relationship status: verse dependent

opinion on true love: I think he's a bit jaded on this idea, he doesn't discount it for those who believe in it, but he doesn't think he himself will ever have a true love or experience true love. He feels too wounded to give his heart completely like that considering it's never been whole to begin with.

opinion on love at first sight: I think he has more of a belief in this sort of thing more than true love: he finds love at first sight entirely adorable and in fact he is a big romantic for the energy this gives off. He will never admit if he felt it for his lover however until they've reached a certain point of complete comfort with them to show his rather romantic side.

how 'romantic' are they?: Logan was raised well, and he had his mother and sisters to kind of give him plenty of pointers down the line even if he never dated in high school to show off what he'd learned. He will bring flowers to his partner, cook for them very often and do the little things like chores to help make the load of sharing a living space/life more equal. He is a romantic with couples figure skating though that shit makes him cry sometimes with how beautiful it is.

ideal physical traits: He's not drawn to a type specifically actually, he's pretty varied.

ideal personality traits: he prefers people who are kind around others and to themselves, as well as enjoying being with people who are confident in themselves when it matters (he is not averse to some negative self talk as that would be hypocritical). He does value a great smile and a welcoming nature of all people no matter where they come from or who they are.

unattractive physical traits: unknown as of now

unattractive personality traits: being cruel to animals, being rude to staff at restaurants or otherwise busy stores or locations, basically lack of good manners is a no for him since he grew up in such a rigid life once he got into the military.

ideal date: while a candlelit dinner is a close first place spot, he knows that isn't necessarily ideal. Something he and his partner both find comforting, like an in house movie night or homemade dinner. He likes taking walks after going to a coffee shop or a lunch date, too, those are fairly quiet.

do they have a type?: powerful women, strong and equally soft men

average relationship length: probably a few years, he is not one to hold back when he falls hard.

preferred non-sexual intimacy: cuddling, hand holding, playing with hair, hugging in any capacity

commitment level: high, when he goes on a date with someone he is never talking to anyone else alongside the interested party

opinion of public affection: he doesn't mind if they are fairly sweet in nature, like hand holding, pecking kisses, hugs, things like that are ok, anything more excessive (i.e. what makes his more sheltered introverted heart uncomfy) should be done behind closed doors, or in a place that can be considered hidden from the public.

past relationships?: an 'almost' relationship with Min Dae on the Mimas mission. They lightly exchanged a lot of loving affection for four years while they were on Saturn's moon but they never told each other those three little words. It took him a long time to get over her, finally said goodbye officially at her and the crew's funeral, which was devastating to him.

name: Ferenir Neskan nickname: Fen gender: Male romantic orientation: Gynesexual preferred pet names: Honey, dear, sweetheart relationship status: single

opinion on true love: He crossed his arms in thought. "True love is complicated for me. For starters, it's one that works. But i see many people around me, couples and marriages, with relationships that 'work'...but i could never call them true love, in my eyes. If it exists, true love is a fire that is shared by two people, strong and burning but controlled by their united efforts. If either one falters, it will burn them both, but they trust each other that they will always hold. If they succeed, that would be it.

opinion on love at first sight: "I don't believe in it, no. It's attraction, which is normal, it's natural, that i have and i think a number of people do. But it isn't love, that's just silly. You're better than that, don't be skin-deep in your feeling."

how ‘romantic’ are they?: A lot, or he tries to be. Intimacy and sensuality are a big deal for Ferenir. It's not about courting or chasing, it's about showing appreciation and affection. It's not like he overthinks it, and he will do silly things, and practical things, and casual things. But if he finds the chance, he will always bring feelings forth, and show the other that their bond is more than a business agreement...It's feelings, senses. A quiet night, pretty flowers, a little poem. Hearts speak too.

ideal physical traits: The only really important one here is that they take care of themselves. Whether tall or short, atheltic, slim or soft, whether they have brown hair or red curls, they all don't mean much to Ferenir. He thinks every characteristic has its place to be beautiful, should the person bring it forth, and he lives by that. The people he has been with have been very diverse.

ideal personality traits: Here he is a little more picky instead. He likes people with drive and ambition. People who have something they live for. Whether they are open and arrogant about it, or quiet and reserved doesnt matter, as long as they have that spark in them. He likes people that are easy to laugh and talk with, that will tease him right back when he does. And he likes those that are open with their care and affection. He will give them a lot, and showing their appreciation is very appreciated.

unattractive physical traits: Only if they are heavy or light to the point of unhealthy, and they don't take care of themselves. As long as they keep general humanoid proportions, then it's more than fine.

unattractive personality traits: People too timid, or those self-centered to the point they dont see him as an equal. Overly cruel people aren't his cup of tea, and neither are apathetic people. He is a man of emotions, he needs to feel them reflected and returned.

ideal date: He has many. For Ferenir what matters is spending time with the person he likes. Whether a nice, romantic dinner, a quiet walk, studying together or readin silly books on the couch in pajamas, it's all good. He only doesn't like too loud places, as a general rule.

do they have a type?: As described, not really, he is just attracted to feminine individuals.

average relationship length: Ferenir hasn't had enough experiences to call an average. He had one that lasted about six months in his village, one that was on and of, and he had one after his exile that lasted two months or so. Since then he has had flings, but nothing to call a relationship.

preferred non-sexual intimacy: Hugs, cuddles, hand holding, leaning on each other, meaningful conversations in bed, sharing activities together

opinion of public affection: It's welcome if it's not overwhelming. Little touches, little kisses, sweet things. Nothing overt.

past relationships?: As i mentioned, he's had three. The most recent and important one was with Anika. They had a strong passion, but a lot of bad things happened to the party they were in, and Ferenir's mental health deteriorated rapidly. Foolishly thinking he was dragging her down with him, he left to stop his journies for a while till he healed, and she never forgave him. He hasn't felt emotionally ready for a commited relationship since.

Monochrome & Viper.

Full name: Deilos Nightshade Nickname(s): Monochrome (sorcerer name), Dei Age: +1000 Birthday: October 2 Birthplace: South America Gender: Male Pronouns: He/Him Voice claim: Uther (Michael McConnohie)

Species: Fae/Human hybrid Race: Elf Skin: Dark Eyes: Black Hair: Black Face: Heart-shaped Build: Rectangle, slim Other details: Pointed ears, bags under eyes Height: 177cm / 5'8 Sexuality: Bi-oriented demian, monoamorous Relationship status: Married

Zodiac sign: Libra Favorite colour: Gray Animal spirit: Peregrine falcon MBTI: ESTJ Personality:

He's a wise and reliable sorcerer and teacher, always willing to listen and offer advice when asked. He's your typical old man who always has a story to tell with a metaphor in it, but he means well. This is the man you would go to when you have a problem, he'll do anything in his power to help you and guide you through.

Very patient and kind, but not a pushover. He does forgive honest mistakes and is even willing to give chances when the situation calls for it, and if you ask him, he might even give you time to process. However, don't mistake his kindness for naiveté. If he senses you're not being truthful about your intentions, or if you're not willing to change, then he'll leave.

He does tend to get stressed a lot, but he tries not to show it. Having lived for a long time, and being a sorcerer of time itself, he has seen and experienced many changes in history, and it can take a toll on an elf such as himself. As wise and ancient as he is, he's also a bit forgetful, his mind being in so many places at once that sometimes small details escape him.

He's the kind of guy who avoids confrontation, but not because he's weak or a coward, but because it seems tasteless for him. He's above any kind of drama or fight, and he won't waste his time participating in such. If you come to him looking for trouble or being overall hostile, he'll just leave the room until you cool down or come to your senses.

A precious dad and husband. He'd do anything for his family, even if that means fighting for them. He adores his children so much, and each birth he's always shredded tears because he just gets so emotional, like it was the first time. He equally adores his wife, swooning over her like in their adolescent years. He's a hopeless romantic too.

Hobbies: Learning and creating spells, maths, long walks on the beach, bonding time with his family

Zodiac sign: Scorpio Favorite colour: Alice blue Animal spirit: Legless lizard MBTI: ISTJ Personality:

She's your typical sassy girl, with a sharp wit and cheeky attitude. The total opposite of her master, she doesn't back off from a confrontation, and she's not afraid to speak up her mind or being passive-aggressive, which Monochrome often scolds her for.

She likes pranks, finding any opportunity to pull pranks on Monochrome especially, but sometimes she pranks the children too. However, she won't pull pranks that could harm or hurt them, and she will stop if someone tells her to. She's not heartless.

She's fiercely protective of those who she cares about, and since the children are under her protection, they're the ones who have to deal with a giant overprotective lizard more often than not.

She might get jealous often, especially when he master brings a pet home or gives his attention to any other animal or familiar. It took a good while for her to trust Iris when she and Monochrome started dating, but she soon accepted her into the family.

Salty doesn't even describe how competitive this lizard is. She will throw a tantrum if she loses in a game, but will also get mad if others give her the win. She wants to win fair and square but she also hates losing. There's no winning here. Hobbies: Spending time with Monochrome, bonding time with Monochrome's children (despite what she says), magic learning, playing pranks

Relationship/Romanticism Headcanon Meme

Name: Loki Laufeyson

Nickname(s): Lokes, Lo, Rock of Ages, Reindeer Games (are we noticing a theme here, *ahem* Tony Stark *cough cough*)

Relationship Status: Verse-dependent

Gender: Cis male

Romantic Orientation: panromantic, pansexual

Preferred Pet Names: Loki appreciates a thoughtful term of endearment, usually if his partner leans towards a more common one or something unique, he'll embrace it willingly.

Opinion on True Love: Loki's not so certain about true love. He does believe in love and making connections with someone, but he doesn't exactly believe the whole 'predestined, fated to meet and fall in love' thing.

Opinion on Love at First Sight: Loki might feel attraction or interest at first sight, but I think it would take a lot more than just one look to convince him that some was the one.

How ‘Romantic’ Are They?: When he is committed to someone, that is when his more romantic side comes out. He will put more effort into doing things for his partner or go out of his way to surprise them or show his love for them. But, he still finds time for the more quiet and intimate moments together. Loki is less of a 'grand gestures' person and more of a 'consistently showing up' type of lover.

Ideal Physical Traits: There are many different traits that Loki finds attractive, but no qualitative mix of said traits will be the 'perfect person' for him.

Ideal Personality Traits: Intelligence, ability to converse about intellectual and casual topics, being genuine, and a quick wit.

Unattractive Physical Traits: Loki doesn't have many traits that he could think of that he finds unattractive.

Unattractive Personality Traits: Demanding, brash, exerts control over others, manipulative, selfish, and dishonest

Ideal Date: I don't think he has an ideal date, but sharing a fine dining experience with his partner is one that interests him. Good food, good drinks, and good conversation.

Do They Have a Type?: Not particularly, but if we're going based off of who the mun ships him with, it's either another dark haired sass-master who can match his wit in equal measure or a blond goody two-shoes who's not really all that pristine once you get to know them.

Average Relationship Length: Given his longer than usual life span, Loki often tends to look for longer term relationships. He doesn't like to commit into a relationship unless he knows that there is some level of deep commitment.

Preferred Non-Sexual Intimacy: Spending quality time with his partner, whether that's sharing a glass of wine over a conversation about their day or being out and about together. As long as it's with them.

Commitment Level: He keeps distance at first, but once he's sorted out his own feelings and is confident you feel the same, he's willing to commit.

Opinion of Public Affection: He's more comfortable with smaller displays (kisses, holding hands, a hand around the waist, etc.). He's not the type to get down and dirty in the middle of a busy street, not that he's prudish, he just prefers those matters are between him and his lover only.

Past Relationships?: He's been with all sorts of different people, but has yet to have someone to call his own.

name: lady secret ranne. nickname: cece. gender: trans woman. romantic orientation: pansexual. preferred pet names: baby, darling, sugar (secret answer: all of them)relationship status: verse reliant.

opinion on true love: she believes it exists, but not in the way everyone else seems to apply the term. true love isn't some fairytale ideal (wouldn't that be nice?), true love is dirty and hard work and requires self reflection that makes secret incredibly uneasy to consider for herself. good for you if you have true love, but you're probably lying, either to your partner or yourself, about something.  opinion on love at first sight: it's lust at first sight, which can be as telling. how ‘romantic’ are they?: incredibly so, and she wishes and yearns for it for herself, and is good at romance. all romance is being able to read people's needs and wants and giving it to them, that isn't that hard to do, and she does lean to the dramatic. she can do grand gestures, she can do the attention to detail, but she struggles with the aspect of wanting all that from someone else: she doesn't have a great track record with others offering her her wants, which are grand. ideal physical traits: a pretty smile, good hair and a care for fashion and style. ideal personality traits: ruthless, sharp, strong in their own convictions, whatever they may be and almost regardless of what they may be.  unattractive physical traits: anything that implies a lack of pride in their appearance, rather than anything specific. unattractive personality traits: dishonesty, self-righteousness (particularly in opposition to her)  ideal date: either some reason to get dressed up, she and her partner dressed up to the nines, especially if the event devolves and the two of them split off and start shedding the formality and end up doing something considerably less graceful and poised, or something exhilarating, adrenaline inducing. it would not do to call combat situations a date, but if the boot fits, y'know?  do they have a type?: either the best good person in the room or someone she sees herself in (this can be /derogatory or /affectionate equally)average relationship length: typically, secret leans to flings, situationships that didn't last more than 4 months or one night stands, with the exception of one longer term relationship that lasted 5 years (but was incredibly toxic on both sides), and a friends with benefits situation that lasted 3 years.  preferred non-sexual intimacy: patching up wounds. dancing. any and all kinds of dancing. opinion of public affection: she's got to learn about it for herself, to be honest, but everything she does has a flair of the dramatic, and she is not opposed to the concept, so i imagine she'd enjoy it, especially in the name of possessiveness, on either side. past relationships?: astra wolffe, 5 years, toxic. ollyviah leverage, 3 years, friends with benefits, many others.

FAVORITE  CANON  SHIP( S ),  Originally, when I first created her, I shipped her with Sean, but they have become more of a older brother-younger sister dynamic in my head, so none? I haven't really shipped her with anyone in the game. Usually Cassie falls into platonic or familal dynamics in general. I do want to write her in more romantic dynamics.

FAVORITE  NON-CANON  SHIP( S ),  It has to be @colecassiidy 's Cole. I haven't been able to get to our threads with Cassie for a bit, but I deeply enjoy their dynamic. They started out platonic, but as we started interacting it became increasingly obvious that Cole and Cassie liked each other more than friends. I love how we built up this whole backstory for them, how their fathers are similar but they are two different social classes, and how they are intertwined in their past, but met in the events of r.dr2, and how different they are, yet how they have remained the same. Their friendships and their feelings have basically remained the same through all of that, and idk I like the slow burn with them lmao.

OPINION  ON  TRUE  LOVE,   Cassie believes in it, even if she never experienced it herself as a default. Cassie doesn't know how true love couldn't exist entirely. Somewhere, someplace out there, true love exists for someone. With how many people are out there in the world, how isn't there her true equal that has nothing but sincere intentions? She has learned that life is hard and cutthroat, but in all that evil, there's goodness somewhere and that's what makes it all worth it to keep living.

OPINION  ON  LOVE  AT  FIRST  SIGHT,   Call her naive, but she does believe in love at first sight. She believes in the idea of soulmates. She thinks that if she has an other half, you would know immediately. There''s no denying it.

HOW  ‘ROMANTIC’  ARE  THEY,   Cassie is a hopeless romantic. She's not into PDA because of the standards and expectations she grew up in, but Cassie is very romantic. Cassie will express it, but she more of shows it through gift-giving and acts of service. Cassie wants to find someone she can pour her love into and someone who can do the same for her.

IDEAL  PHYSICAL  TRAITS,   Cassie doesn't really focus on physical traits, she's more into personality, but maybe a more of a gentle look? Youthful traits? Clean shaven? Lean? She prefers for someone to be taller than her.

IDEAL  PERSONALITY  TRAITS,   Gentle, kind, sensitive, good sense of humor, emotionally intelligent, hardworking, devoted.

UNATTRACTIVE  PHYSICAL  TRAITS,   This sounds so bad, but wrinkles, poor mouth hygiene, body odor, unkempt hair, dirty and muddy appearance

UNATTRACTIVE  PERSONALITY  TRAITS,   Cruel, self-righteous, narcissistic, manipulative, selfish, murderous, self-centered, egoistic, grumpy, hot tempered, unpredictable, possessive, jealousy.

IDEAL  DATE,   Just sitting down and talking anywhere. Preferably something more lowkey to where there won't be many distractions and more alone, quiet time. A walk by the water, sitting in a field, teaching someone about flowers and gardening, and doing an activity together that way.

DO  THEY  HAVE  A  TYPE,   Not really? I guess maybe either charming, sensitive people, or extroverted individuals. Just someone she feels safe around.

AVERAGE  RELATIONSHIP  LENGTH,   Long-term monogamous relationships. Usually she only toys with a relationship if she plans to marry the other person. Cassie hasn't had a relationship before though.

PREFERRED  NON-SEXUAL  INTIMACY,   Kissing the back of her hand or embracing her, usually just quiet intimacy.

COMMITMENT  LEVEL,   Cassie wants to settle down with someone. I think Cassie tends to draw toxic people towards her because of her empathetic and kind anture, so if she can see the best in them, if she can see their potential, it can turn ugly if she decides to get in a relaitonship with them because she's committed. Of course, she desn't stay in these relaitonships when they turn ugly, but when she loves you, Cassie loves you. But in a healthy scenario, she would commit herself to her partner with all of her heart.

OPINION  OF  PUBLIC  AFFECTION,   Cassie isn't comfortable with PDA. She prefers for affection to be exchanged alone or indoors just because of how she grew up, with how she has to be polite and reversed.

PAST  RELATIONSHIPS,   Cassie hasn't had a relationship before and maybe her idea of a romantic relationship is rose-tinted, very fairytale-esque, but I think having no prior relationship experience and coming from a manipulative father can be a bad motivator for anyone with bad intentions for Cassie in a relationship (just with her inexperience).
