#bright with magic blinded by youth: character study/abouy

Okay. So! Cool idea I just had!

I figured that since Phiona is a tarot maiden, I figured that maybe her wand has different forms that represent the minor arcana! The sword is self-explanatory, Cups is a whip, the Wand is a scythe (The wand represents earth, and scythes are used for harvesting, and The Pentacle is either a dagger or a broomstick (still deciding.)

@rcseteaparty

bold of you to assume i won’t tell you i love you again just because i did ten seconds ago

[prcttyinpcnk]

When you're the princess, the witch, and a secret third thing. (The dragon. )

So yeah, I decided to stick with the bat wings. I'm still tossing up whether to make her a fairy or a demon, but right now I'm slightly leaning towards Bat wings, cause what if fairies with bat wings are seen as an ill omen, or otherwise ostracized from other fairy courts, even the unseelie court. It could also tie into her backstory.

Hags

Hags, often related to or mistaken as vampires, are a type of unseelie fey known for their dark magic and hunger for blood and mortal flesh. If they are not brutal nobles who pursue power through the most ruthless means possible, they are ostracized spell casters who use their spells to hex the mortals. They are born from flowers, grown after a ritual using the blood of a hag to be born. They typically take the shape of mammals, with non-mammal and insectoid features. This includes, but is not limited to, bat wings, feathered wings, insect wings, pointed tails, flower tails, claws, fangs, multiple eyes, unnatural skin/fur/scale/hair/eye color, shifting abilities, the ability to unnaturally warp their voices at will, forked/elongated tongues, natural access to magic. 

Most Hags are villainized and hunted by Paladins and would-be heroes looking to make a name for themselves. Hags are also feared among the seelie and unseelie courts for their power but are often sought out and even exploited for that power.

Phiona hates gambling-related games, which is funny because she would be scarily good at games like poker, blackjack, and baccarat.

Real quick? You don't want this child kicking you in your... ANYWHERE.

She's a dancer, an circus acrobat/clown, and her mother Roselyne trained her how to fight.

So if she kicks you, a bone is getting broken. No question asked.

Phiona does roller derby! However it's not... conventional roller derby. It involves magic, and weird tracks... and swords.

I'd like to think that the first thing a witch learns is how to weave their magic more subtly. Cleaning, Cooking, Sewing their own clothes, making their own jewelry, and making their own makeup and skin/hair care products are just simple things that teach them how to not only weave their spells but also be self-efficient.

Phiona's makeup.

(All DIY from recycled bottles and thrifted material.)

Something to note about Phiona. Girly pop's accent is THICK. That and sometime when she's really lost in thought she'll just switch from English, to Spanish and back again.

[prcttyinpcnk]

Phiona's craft is similar to Princess Peach's heart power. Drawing fey magic from both the seelie and unseelie court since Laura and Carmilla are from both courts respectively. From Laura she gets her powers of divination and healing, white roses, while her more destructive magic is from Carmilla, red roses.

Phiona

[prcttyinpcnk]

you want so badly to be soft. to take the hand that you are offered instead of baring your teeth. and it might be hard to believe, but you are soft. you're the softest one out there.

I... really think about this sometimes. I think about how Phiona wants so desperately to be seen as soft, but always has her guard up. Because she has to. She has to bare her teeth, but in her world, if she doesn't, she dies. Either she dies or someone she loves dies defending her. And she can't let that happen.

Never again.

I think about her desires to dress hyperfeminine and her utter disdain for her bat wings. How she wishes she could turn bat wings into butterfly wings, or just do away with her wings altogether. How she envies Seelie Fey, and by extension her friend, Willow, for their butterfly, but never says anything because that's not fair to Willow.

Her insecurities shouldn't be her friend's problems.

She wants to love herself. She wants to think that there's nothing wrong with her! Plenty of mythical creatures have bat wings! Plenty of Fey have Bat wings!! But... she can't. She can't be happy with herself.

Maybe it might have something to do with her mother, Carmilla's, side of the family...

what tragic horror character trope are you?

the werewolf

there's something inside a werewolf that's sharp, thorns and barbs coiling up in tight knots of vine even on their best days. halfway through a conversation, you'll forget your happiness and the pain comes back in a flash. you never meant to, but the sharpness has done harm on your behalf. it's defensive. it's leftover artillery from a battle you spent so long fighting that it still doesn't feel like it's truly over, does it? you want so badly to be soft. to take the hand that you are offered instead of baring your teeth. and it might be hard to believe, but you are soft. you're the softest one out there. it'll just take a while to untangle those vines enough to know that very little is often life - or - death, and not everything touches to hurt.
