#anyway im mostly just adding her original lore into the mix

[mycharacterdump]

WHEN YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE LEFT DANCIN' WHILE THEY'RE ON THE FLOOR, TIME TO GO.

children's laughter  ,  spinning around without a care in the world  ,  wildly curly hair  , morning dew in the garden   , passing on wisdom  ,   the sound of a faraway brook  ,  an abba song   ,  holding up peace signs in every photo  ,  make love not war   , denim dresses over white tees  ,  flowers decorating intricate braids  ,  perfectly warm tea on a cold night  ,  cardigans draped over chairs  ,  speaking up for the voiceless , socks with sandals  ,  lilies of the valley  , talking to plants to help them grow   ,  a mother's love.

SEPTEMBER 1978.

— two healthy identical twin girls are born in manhattan, nyc to amihan rivera and walter wozniak. they name the little one elaine dalisay, after her maternal grandmother. it's classy. timeless. the other... hm. she's difficult to pin. but her father pitches in, nearly crying out in the white confines of the hospital room: rainbow! and so... rainbow she was. rainbow lualhati.

JANUARY 1980.

— amihan is tired. she isn't certain she was ever meant for this life - mothering two children she can't recognize as her own. but she knows that she can't leave them both behind if she wants the support of her family. so she makes an impossible choice between the two. scooping elaine out of her crib, she escapes in the dead of night, and walter and rainbow are left alone.

APRIL 1983.

— it's been over three years and new york city is unrelenting. rainbow seems to like the shiny buildings and her classmates, but walter is restless. he's begrudged that amihan made her own way to leave it all behind. so he does the same. he hears about a place upstate where they could belong, more so than they do in the city. he packs up the few books he knows he can't live without, makes rainbow do the same. by morning their apartment in the upper east side is empty.

JUNE 1983.

— sunrise village. that's what they call it. rainbow has always liked plants and the outdoors, spending much of her time begging walter to be taken to central park, so this is paradise for her. she likes to think it is for her father, too. she spends her time reading on the front porch, eating fresh fruit their neighbors bring, listening to the birds chirp and the brook behind their house wash over the stones. she's never felt more free. she doesn't even have to wear shoes if she doesn't want to! but her father makes her wear socks. they're still a little civilized.

AUGUST 1985.

— rainbow befriends the other children in the village. even some younger ones as well, who she's taken under her wing and cares for whenever their mothers or fathers aren't around. they all have names just like hers: there's basil, cloud, dream, bodhi, feather, harmony, light, meadow, moonbeam, hawk, petal, twig, serenity, wolf, tulip, venus and true. she reads to them and teaches them piano. everything is peace and love, man. for a long, long time.

DECEMBER 1991.

— it's the dead of winter in new york state. all that's growing in their garden are the snowdrops that twig planted for her. thirteen - year - old rainbow has her work cut out for her with all these kids, but she thinks they're worth it in the end. this may be what she's meant for, she realizes. but walter says she's still too young to really know. she disregards him at first, leading her little ducklings out for a day of ice skating at the pond. on her tail are dream, harmony, moonbeam, twig and tulip. half an hour later, after a distant scream alerts some other villagers, they discover rainbow collapsed on the shore alongside twig. one of them is breathing. the other isn't.

JANUARY 1992.

— it is time to go, walter has decided before rainbow regains color in her cheeks. they can't stay in a place where she was once responsible for the children and let one of them die under her care. she doesn't get any say in it. he packs her things for her. as she's dragged from the only home she's known since she was five years old, she sees twig's mother in the distance and she wants to say i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, but no words can escape before she's out of sight forever.

SEPTEMBER 1994.

— rainbow doesn't think the hurt will ever go away, even as she lays a hundred miles away in a full-sized bed in a manhattan apartment. she dreams every night of bright blue eyes that drain to gray; plump and colorful skin that deteriorates beneath her touch; soft blond ringlets that she's run her fingers through countless times now wetted down and dripping with pond water. time passes, but she is still there. she will always be there. it's her sixteenth birthday, and her father chooses not to remember.

FEBRUARY 1997.

— there's a boy in her government and civics class that she finds herself fixating on when she tunes out of the lesson. he's a little dorky, though seemingly not on purpose, but he has the most contagious smile she's ever seen. she thinks sometimes when she sees him attempt to woo other girls that they would get along, somehow. i understand you, she thinks quietly, from a distance. i want to be loved, too.

Rico besides Kama what do you think about the other indian servants?????

AHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS GOING TO GET SOOOO LONG!!!! i have a different view of the indo fam as a whole. i call them the indo fam but i mean the found family trope!!!! theyre like a group of college students sharing a dorm if that makes sense, since their servant selves are obviously different from their initial myths/human vessels!!!

OK SO. RECENTLY, i have an oomf that found books about arjuna that summarize his exploits in the mahabharata(I DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO READ IT ALL IM SO SORRY) and also talk about him in a more philosphical manner such as his states of mind during each event etc and i’ve been meaning to read said book because im genuinely interested in arjuna now!!! and i’d like to know more about this indo prince because from what i’ve seen, he is portrayed in a rather bad light(?) in FGO which i find extremely !!!!!!!!!!! and incrdibley !!!!!!! strange !!!!!!! the mahabharata’s conflicts can be put in a mostly grey area where there’s no good nor bad, its not black and white. so seeing arjuna get bashed because of the way his conflict with karna was written is... hm. let’s say that im REALLY starting to understand arjuna fans that dislike seeing him get mischaracterized so much. OTHER THAN THAT, his design is adorable, his travel outfit is my favourite because he deserves to relax and have some fun!!! fgo making him a chuuni is cute and his VAs little moans are cute cute cute!!!!!!!!!!! (mash grabs my shoulder and forces me to sit down) i think that arjuna deserves better and im really happy to see him have fun in his travel costume voicelines. i think we should take arjun on a date!!! he’s a great lover, we’d have the best time!! OH ALSO, kama seeing him as the student council president in their interlude makes me SOOOOOOO HAPPY its unreal, i think it fits him very very well, the seitokaichou who was elected because of everyone’s hopes and recommended by teachers because he’s suuuch a good student but because of that, the pressure to be good is constantly towering over his head and everytime he looks out the window he wishes he could ditch class and skip a day just because he felt like going to the arcade and be a bad student.......just this once........i think hes very very cute...... i want him to cook for me. HAVE YO U READ HIS BOND 4 VOICELINE ?mmmmmggg i want him to get embarrassed everytime i praise him for having such a muscular waistline. AUG

ANEWAYS i also have quite the thoughts about karna, his characterization in the game is linked to arjuna’s and thats fine but i think that forgetting how much of a little sassy bastard he can get was a mistake! did you know that in apocrypha’s german dub on netflix, when jeanne calls his name like “You’re Karna, aren’t you ? The son of the Indian Sun God !” HES LIKE “So ?” AND THAT WAS SOOOO BITCHY OF HIM, i think that karna is a good boy in fgo but the fact that he was such a fighty old man in the mahabharata shouldnt be forgotten and is a charm trait. I MEAN ???? HE THREW HANDS WITH AN 18 YEAR OLD(ARJUN) WHILE BEIN LIKE... THIRTY TWO. WHATS WITH THIS ANNOYING OLD MAN !!!!! knowing these little facts about him made me like him so much more actually !! i think karna being so nice is adorable!! but the little bitchy energy u can find in his voicelines is also very charming!! i think karna looking at me emotionless as i ask him to lend me his notes for the nth time that week and then saying “...Mn.” when i thank him is cute!!! his voiceline towards things he dislikes is interesting to me. karna seeming aloof and mean bc he doesnt know how to communicate but is actually nice underneath...... hey... thats a little delinquentcore........ i wouldnt say yankii but hes like... hes like... u know hes the handsome quiet one of the group of yankiis... u know the one...? hey where are you going

ganesha is also a character im deeply interested in but i havent played CCC so i dont know that many details about jinako herself !! my brain goes HMMMMMM it seems lord ganesha is trans in fgo ! (since kama used to be a male god originally as well!!) ganesha uses all pronouns!!! and ganesha is also special to me because they share similar traits with kama when it comes to their characterization AND mischaracterizations. ganesha isnt JUST jinako. theres a part of a god in the servant mix!!! and jinako HERSELF is actually a pretty sad character imo. the whole otaku/neet thing is obviously a facade and her true wish being that she wants to redo her whole life is also proof of how much she hates what shes become, yet at the same time, she doesnt know what else she could do. but anyways, i prefer looking at servants from a lore POV so i think that ganesha should still be considered a god and be adressed as such!! i like seeing people portray ganesha as jinako but i prefer it when a certain lavish more godly side of them is put forward. a side of jinako that managed to move on a little bit if that makes sense ? that got more serious. and became someone else entierly despite sharing similarities. needless to say their bond with karna makes me happy since he shows them respect as you should towards a god!! its a bit different from their bond in CCC... like they matured somewhat!! anyway ganesha is the one who taught everyone else in the indo fam about video games and technology and i will NEVER shut up.

ashwatthama..... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM %_’(’ç_”’è_ç(è_’”545656455456545453£¨¨µ¨µMµ¨++°=)=)°+ goodness. jesus christ on earth. my love story with him makes me so embarrassed. when he got revealed i instantly fell in love with him despite knowing JACK SHIT ABOUT HIM but since i was the only one in my friend group who was hardcore into fgo at the time, i kept my love for him to myself and just... (looks away)(i drop my wallet full of picturses of him) quietly adored his everything in silence. WELL, ree having an intense crush on yankii type characters isnt new, its been my favourite trope for ages (gyarus go in hand with them!!) and im still very attached to it so thats what made me love him in the first place!!!! BUT THEN. I GOT INTO HIS MAHABHARATAN LORE. And OHHHHHHHHH BABY.......... (im twirling my hair) so theres this 7ft tall war criminal..........<3<33<3(mash leans in and informs me that the convention of geneva didnt exist at the time) SO THERES THIS 7 FTTALL IMMORTALMAN.......<233 gOD he makes me absolutely CRAZY9909840385%£%%£%%µ%µ%µ the love i have for this character is immense and whenever im sad i remember that pako exists and has a tablet and can draw and i suddenly feel so much better. ok im gonna stop horny posting a little bit. but hes my wife. AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HIS PORTRAYAL IN FGO IS THAT, they actually made him a good boy despite his initial roughness and misdeeds ???!!! HELLO?? ashwatthama wishing for a redemption ark is my favourite thing and his righteousness that was born because of his regrets is a very interesting drivepoint to me !!! hes a gorgeous character and im buying a ticket plane as we speak right now so i can go find him in northern india. i’ll find him. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME !!!!!GET OFF ME !!!

miss lakshimi makes me very sad! because every female servant in the indo fam is an already known face. (... would sita count.) and lakshi being a jeanneface is a waste. well, she’s still very pretty and her lore is also quite interesting!! i havent looked into it fully yet but i think she should be kissed on the mouth. her bad luck makes me slip on a banana peel whenevr i get close to her to kiss her and i hit my head on the pavement and pass away- 

parvati is on a tough spot for me atm. i genuinely love thinking of her as the way the indian goddess herself is portrayed because thats where the fun lies for me in her character. especially when shes involved with other indian servants, thats a given!! i would like to see parvati grow, suffer and heal. because branding her as an “all-knowing mom” is easy, but every single parent makes mistakes if you follow that logic. also, since shes the sakura servant “thats closest to her initial personality”, she’s got some of the most Repulsive fans ive Ever witnessed in fandom spaces and lets say that im trying to work my way out of this hellhole and find things to like about parvati without the fandom’s influence. needless to say, im going to keep looking into her mythos and her lore by myself at my own pace and keep doing my own thing in my little corner. 

rama shouldve been a jock. THE RAMAYANA IS OLDER THAN THE MAHABHARATA, WHY IS.....Hrm well him being summoned as his baby version gives me hope for a future rama alt perhaps??? but i think that he shouldve been a total jock and he shouldve been huge with a huge red lion-like mane for his hair and a teethy grin and big biceps and intense love for his wife. SPEAKING OF SITA, her charm point is her purity but i wish.... that their artist still hadnt drawn them like That, im not a fan of lily servants and i think purity = being young is a bit of an annoying excuse!!! rama and sita looking similar is because of their shared history which is fine but... rolls my eyes............. rama shouldve been 6ft tall and sita shouldve been a milf to match...... anyways i doubt ravana would be added as a servant but i’d love to have a ramayana centric event!! where all indo servants have their own lore centric role to play!!! oh thatd be a dream.... but i have learned to not expect much from a fanservice game so im jus gonna draw my own stuff! (strikes a pose!) (mashu claps!)
