Character profile + Q&A: Mandra

As promised in the Anniversary, here's Mand's character profile! Besides all the info I had already planned to add, you'll find the answers to some of your questions too! ♥ It's a long, long post. :X

—— [ "Mand" || "Mandra" || "Mandreis" || "Your Highness" || "Grand General" ] ——

Mandreis “The Ninth Devil” Jay Yvanson

OPALA || THEY/THEM || TWIN SWORDS: THE WISH-SEEKERS || PLANT: NIGHT-DAME (FLOWER) || A SONG: EN - VOLCANO SWING (AMANDA JENSSEN) / PAIN (BOY HARSHER) | LP - PRO MUNDO OUVIR (DUDA BEAT)

How people see them:

Inner Circle: Crass, fun, chaotic warrior who does as they please. Filled with life and courage, but still an infant when dealing with diplomacy. Worries honestly about the people.

Strangers: They’re a capable young noble who should be crowned in Mathias’s place. Responsible for Opala’s victory over Topazio. Thorny and unapproachable by anyone other than those they already like.

Self-image: Trust their guts and their instincts; nothing else matters. Will never be good enough for love. A bastard child taken away from their mother.

How they act in:

Shame: With anger.

Sadness: Hides in their cave, emotional or otherwise. Always pretends there’s nothing wrong.

Anger: Will push towards a swordfight. Believes in violence as a valid way to solve conflict and discover more about people, as long as those involved accept it. Would never use violence against anyone who decides to avoid it.

Happiness: To them, happiness is a fickle and delicate thing. When happy, their innermost sweetness and frailty surface.

An argument: With Anger.

A fight: Will often try to make it as long as possible. Fighting is fun and they love to read their opponent’s feelings as they fight.

In face of injustice: Always tries to step in and help. Mandra isn’t "afraid of getting their hands dirty by shoveling out the waste," according to Knight Esma.

Loves:

Melike. MC. The Queen. Their Arcane Guitar. Mathias. In this order. Also loves music and poetry, has an unhealthy obsession with magic, sword fights, and their biological mother. Loves the rain.

Hates:

The court, most people richer than a merchant, fine clothes, boots, and socks (although they love their women with long, delicate white stockings).

Love language: Gifts and Acts of service.

(short) Q&A ♥

I'm really glad you're enjoying the game! It's more complicated than that (although this is certainly part of the reason) and it's also more complicated than Mandra not feeling worthy of love... but the real reason is something that won't come to light for a while. :X

Ahh, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I hope you'll like Melike too! ♥ It's possible, yes, and fully accepted and seen as normal by society as a whole, as it should be. :) Mand wouldn't do it. After years of experimenting with their gender expression, nowadays they feel comfortable!

Hahaha! The first answer *is* a spoiler, sorry! :X The answer for the second question is above this one. The answer for the third would be a kiss on the forehead, and Mand immediately escorting MC back to the Castle because they don't want to end up giving MC false hopes. ç.ç ♥

Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this character profile. The next one, which I'll post directly on Ko-Fi, will be Mathias's! Sooo, if you have any questions for our boy that weren't answered on the anniversary, please send them to me! ;))) ♥♥♥

OH! I'm super excited to announce I'm planning to change my Ko-Fi a little. I want to have something more Patreon-like, and this kind of post, along with all the short stories, prompts, sketches, and more, will be part of the monthly rewards! :) If this is something you'd be interested in, you can follow my Ko-fi and support me there too! ♥♥♥

Much love,

Ligia
