[springcatalyst]

🖊 for brooke?

omg helloooo thank u king <3

so a lot of her actual arc isnt SUPER set in stone yet as I continue to figure stuff out but like. shes big. shes not only Beefy As Hell cause Sword Require Armstrength but shes just tall by nature of being an ipotane. And late-era particularly she does a good amount of work with people who are A: generally wary by nature of being hunted (to varying definitions of the word) and B: small, by nature of being mostly nightlings. So she actively tries to make herself smaller in her actions, to try to be less... I guess intimidating. It's also a way to seperate herself from before, because then, she was intimidating on purpose. She definitely doesnt HAVE to do this, most people, once theyve worked with her for a while or know her a little more than strangers, are comforted by her surety, rather than afraid of her. But either way, she is terrified of being something worthy of fear (again), and so her every motion is very conscious of the people around her.

She is very intentional in the way she moves, acts, even speaks. This is very similar to Julian in a lot of ways, actually, but where he does it for himself, she does it for others.
