āœ ā™æļøā˜‚ for Dal and Violet?
āœ :Ā What is your museā€™s handwriting like? Is it neat? Sloppy? Fancy?
Both pretty neat as they are both highly conscientious ladies who will take their time to do things right. Violetā€™s is a bit fancier than Dalā€™s, what with her more extensive and philosophy/bureaucracy-aimed education prior to entering temple service, whereas Dalā€™s is a little more casual as most of her writing is epistolary.
ā™æ :Ā Has your muse had any injuries in the past?
Just minor things, I think? Neither one was a very daring sort of child to go playing too recklessly and get hurt. I donā€™t think Dal was ever subject to physical violence from racist Dyrwood folk, and I donā€™t think younger Anselm was ever physically violent towards Vi, but I wouldnā€™t rule those possibilities out either if the muses someday wish to reveal such things to meā€¦
ā˜‚ Ā :Ā Does your muse like rain?
Neither of them is fond of wet fur, but Dal loves to watch the rain from inside (itā€™s good for her garden and a very soothing sound!). Violet is less likely to take much notice of when itā€™s raining so long as sheā€™s not caught in it, but very likely to wear a good water-resistant cape if it looks like rain and to endure it stoically if she gets caught in a downpour without one.

šŸ‘¶ šŸŒ± for Vi?
šŸ§’ Taking care of children
(I think itā€™s this one? The emoji isnā€™t the same exactlybut seems the closestā€¦)
First, she didnā€™t abduct-adopt Vela, since the son of theguy who was supposed to be fostering her seemed decent enough to take care ofher after Vi killed his dad and that seemed like enough killing for one day.Second, in PoE1/Soul & Shield canon where sheā€™s romancing EdĆ©r, she wonā€™tbe able to have children with him but they will likely adopt, and Viā€™sbig-sister skills will translate to pretty good mothering skills too. Shedefinitely has a few kids with Anselm in the Deadfire canon and some other AUscenarios and that works out well on both their parts; Vi is very nurturing,though she really gets tired of having to discipline them, same as she did withher younger siblings.
šŸŒ± Gardening
I donā€™t thinksheā€™s ever tried much gardening! Maybe an indoor plant now and then, but someof her siblings are much more interested in plants so Vi had little need todevelop that skill. She has a garden at Caed Nua but sheā€™s not the one tendingit.

I'm looking at your OC page. Does Vi and/or Lennie take the "other" OCs adventuring as mercs?
Sometimes, sort of? XD Most of them are Viā€™s siblings and I did once make them in PoE1 for group reference photos of a sort (oh those tiny sprites) and then made them in Deadfire CC just for better character models but I havenā€™t actually adventured with them in the party, just lots of photoshoots. Although I did hire Anselm as a merc in a replay of Viā€™s PoE1 game that I have yet to finish and she hasnā€™t yet recruited a full party of the canon companions yet so heā€™s still out there ciphering away with her in the vicinity of Gilded Vale.Ā 
Viā€™s siblings (and Anselm) (and Lenni!) are part of her adventuring party in my PoE fic though! :-D (Clan & Court and then the much-in-need-of-finishing Soul & Shield)

Violet and baking?
She had better luck at baking back home in Ixamitl, sometimes. The differences in stoves/facilities, or even in the climate of the Dyrwood, might be playing tricks on her and messing with recipes she thought would work. The amount of moisture in the air can make a big difference in some recipes!
She also just has too many things on her mind, at all times, first as eldest daughter and eventually as Watcher and all that, so most of her baking mishaps can be attributed to reading a recipe wrong or leaving out an ingredient or swapping salt for sugar (ew!) or little things like that.
One thing she can reliably bake is shortbread! She will sometimes make shortbread cookies after a muffin mishap or a calamity pie to reassure herself.
She doesnā€™t really attempt baking bread - just sweets.
Most of her baking is done when friends come to visit! Fortunately, her friends (and family) are pretty tolerant of her weirdly shaped muffins. XD

detailed oc asks: 20, 25, 26, 35 for Lottie, 6, 10, 39, 42 for Lenneth, and 14, 19, 33, 37, 51 for Dal, and 46 for all of them
Thank you, these were fun!
For Lottie:
20. Clothing/Aesthetic
Ixamitl Cute isher Aesthetic of course. :-D Skirts and embroidered vests and all that. Mostlyteals/purples. And braids!
25. City or Country?
Sheā€™s a citygirl, because cities are where the libraries are. And the academies. And theorchestras. And lots of interesting people to talk to!
26. Guilty Pleasure
Well at thispoint in the story, spending a lot of time with her crush for totallybusiness reasons after he gave her unlimited access to the city archives iskind of a guilty pleasure. XD Um but alsoā€¦hoarding all the interesting littlecurios she has collected in her attic maybe? I donā€™t know that Lottie honestlyfeels guilty about any of that.
35. What are they like as a friend?
Lottie is agreat conversationalist, because she likes to talk but especially likes tonudge her friends into talking so she can learn from their stories. She is alsoa great storyteller! Depending on her friendā€™s personality, all that chatter canget annoying, though. But if she finds someone *coughAdicough* with sharedinterests, she will enthusiastically delve into those interests with them! Andfor those she knows best (Xipil especially, that twin bond) she has a knack foranticipating their thoughts/ideas, figuring out what theyā€™re getting at even ifthey have a hard time expressing it. (Well, thatā€™s mostly just Xipil, but Lottiewith an introverted friend is likely to develop the same knack. Sheā€™s observantand good at putting clues together, except not always savvy to the social cuesfor when sheā€™s annoying someone with her exuberance.)
For Lenneth:
6. Headcanon VA
Ahhhh it wouldbe great if I knew more VAs than just the CritRole castā€¦ XD Um the purple HawkeVA would probably work great for her since that was pretty much where I startedin developing Lenniā€™s personality when I started her playthrough?
10. Do they have any markings, piercings or scars?
None that Iā€™vedrawn/written her with so far, but getting piercings and/or a tattoo would behighly likely for her!
39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order?
The sweetestthing possible! Probably caramel apple spice something or other, or somethinglike that? I avoid drinking my carbs as much as possible so I have very littleexperience in the kind of sugary drinks Lenni would crave!
42. Whatā€™s the dumbest thing your characterā€™s done?
Oh Lenni. She has done a lot of dumb things in her time, afterall, but she does not let that stop her! Hmā€¦probably getting scammed by a conartist herself back when she was first orphaned, which in turn led to her tryingto run scams of her own, which sometimes worked out and often did not, it was alot of trial and error and getting run out of towns that got wise to herschemes. She always just tries again in a new town though! Which is either veryresilient of her orā€¦continuing to try to con people when itā€™s clearly notworking out might actually be the dumbest thing sheā€™s done. XD
For Dal:
14. Can they cook? Can they bake?
Indeed she can!(Vi would be jealous, probably.) Most of the skills I picked for her werepretty domestic ā€“ sheā€™ll be much happier settling down with her family inIxamitl than adventuring, thatā€™s for sure ā€“ and cooking was rank 3 or 5 Ithink? Dal is happiest when occupied with tasks that make her feel helpful, andgravitated to kitchen tasks pretty early on (along with thegardening/herbalism, because she enjoyed seeing what she could do with theherbs she was growing) and has developed into a pretty intuitive cook.
19. Hobbies
Well, thecooking and the gardening of course. Reading, sometimes. Sheā€™s watched Siofraknit often enough but never got around to learning it from her, alas. She willattempt to learn embroidery in Ixamitl but that may not go any better than Viā€™smuffinsā€¦
33. How have they changed over time?
As far as my ideaof her, she was originally supposed to be older, a bit more jaded, actuallycapable of intimidation via divine glow (I put intimidation on her skill listbut it ended up so way out of character I only tried once to use it, and thatwas after she was ex-godlike and also was an attempt against Yarrow so ofcourse it didnā€™t work XD), and nowhere near the skittish little sweetheart sheended up being. As far as her actual character development in game, she has hadtoā€¦confront a lot of things she took for granted and decide what really mattersmost to her? And navigate dilemmas where her innately extreme honesty may notalways be the best policy? Basically sheā€™s scarred for life, really, buthopefully comes out of it all stronger in the endā€¦
37. Do they have any phobias?
I mean sheā€™s abit scared of everything out in the real world so far but I donā€™t know if thatā€™sa phobia as much as excess caution from a tiny girl in a big world. Itā€™s morejust that so many things are new and unfamiliar to her, rather than actualphobias. I have yet to identify actual phobias for herā€¦She probably did have afear of public speaking but at some point she gained some ranks in Oratory (sheā€™sa priest, come on, sheā€™s gotta do sermons sometime) so she has worked her waypast that fear to some extent.
51. What were some inspirations for your character (people,movies, games)?
Uhhhhā€¦wellmostly the reason for her being so quiet and hesitant about everything is thatthis was Rannaā€™s first time in a ttrpg and I was slow to figure out how to roleplay. :-D My next character will hopefully be a little more decisive? Otherthan that, the inspiration for Dal was mostly just looking at the rpg guide andseeing ā€œDawn Godlikeā€ and going ā€œYES I WANT THATā€ and also I apparently canā€™tnot play an orlan if orlan is an option. (Iā€™ll probably be a LK orlan in thenext campaign, of course XD)
And then for that last oneā€¦
46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motifbe (what kind of instruments do you hear, whatā€™s the tempo, etc).
So uh this question may have prompted me to dig out my Noteworthy Composer CD and install it again since it turns out I hadnā€™t done that yet since the last computer upgrade. :-D I had some plans to try to show-not-tell the answer for this one by putting together a little midi motif for each of them, but thenā€¦I found some of my old compositions (like, this was 20 years ago in college, I am Old) and actuallyā€¦
This one is a pretty good Dal theme! For her I wanted something sort of mellow, sweet, and slightly melancholy, not a whole lot of variation (she thrives in routine, day-to-day domestic life, not this harrowing adventuring business) and it turns out my Winter theme works for that.
And this dance tune works for Lottie! Cheerful, and also - itā€™s in 7/4 time. We canā€™t have something tooĀ simple for a chanter that clever! And itā€™s sort of a balladic melody too, also very chanter-suitable.
Iā€™ll have to actually compose something for Lenni though, didnā€™t find any in the old files that work for her! Something a bit jazzy probablyā€¦weā€™ll seeā€¦

Just a heads-up: While plotting new tea blends with @grumpy-jedi today, I noticed that one of the ingredients in Lottieā€™s tea blend, the pu erh tahiti, is soon being discontinued by Adagio. :-( So if thatā€™s a blend youā€™ve tried and liked, or wanted to try, better grab some soon before...well, Lottieā€™s blend wonā€™t actually go away, but I guess weā€™ll have to substitute some other tea for that pu erh. Itā€™s a pretty tasty one as it is, so Iā€™ll miss this version of it!
(Also her tea is shipped with Anselmā€™s, of course, so you get a discount if you order both of them at the same time. ;-D)

ā˜‚ ā›„ļø ā–² ā™ˆļø for Dal and Vi?
Thank you!
ā˜‚: Ā what my muse does on a rainy day
Dalā€™s day wouldnā€™t change muchwhen it rains, typically; she always was quite the indoor child, except whengardening. (Which, uh, makes her actually less of an indoor child than Ranna,to be fair.) There are plenty of priestly duties inside the temple to keep herbusy, anyway.
Violet certainly prefers not tobe out adventuring or Roadwardening or even on deck of her ship when itā€™sraining: wet fur, you know. Sounds like the perfect time to hole up in thelibrary of Caed Nua, or possibly the kitchens, attempting to bake a decentbatch of cookies.
ā˜ƒ: Ā does my muse like the holidays?
Dal gets a little overwhelmed by some of the celebrationsand traditions and special ceremonies and things, but she very much enjoysthem, especially Small Harvest, and especially once she was old enough to takesome of her own cooking to the elders for that holiday.
Vi loves to reflect on the meaning of each holiday,though she gets a little overwhelmed also by the big family gatherings for someof them. (Well, the ones prior to her pilgrimage, anyway; she hasnā€™t been homein years by the time she gets to Caed Nua, and at that point sheā€™s getting abit wistfully nostalgic about clan gatherings.)
ā–²: Ā my museā€™s happiestmemory
Dalā€™s happiest memories are of quiet moments with Siofra,usually watching her Grandmother knit while Dal chattered away about whateverwas on her mind. (Dal? Chattering? I know that sounds unlikely, but Siofrabrings out that side of her. Especially when she was little and just learningto talk. [My mother also tended to bear the brunt of wee Rannaā€™s chattering,before my sister was born to also be chattered at, and before I grew older and quieter/shyer/moreintroverted. ;-D My niece, who reminds me so muchĀ of myself, also talks my sisterā€™s ear off sometimes, so Iā€™m assuming itā€™s just a normal thing for quiet kids to not be quiet to that one safest person.])
Viā€™s happiest memory isnā€™t one specific moment as much asthe whole process of her uncle Patli taking her under his wing, mentoring heras an Eothasian priest in training, and basically rescuing her from a badbreakup with the pilgrimage idea. Pretty much the only person she trusts morethan him at this point is Audie.
ā™ˆ: Ā the most daring thing your muse has ever done
Dal maybe petted a cat once? For her that would be kindof daring? XD (Just kidding, of course sheā€™s petted cats, just none as enormous and impertinent as the one in New/Old Yarma; but that stelgaer ride in Eir Glanfath was prettydaring by her standards, to be fair.) Actually, I guess itā€™s pretty daring whatsheā€™s doing now, fetching her never-before-met brother from the Halgot Citadeldungeons or wherever they had him and abandoning her home to reunite with hermother and sister in Ixamitl. Especially since sheā€™s only barely met themtoo, and is just hoping her initial impressions of them hold true and theyā€™reworth this loyalty.
Violetā€™s foray into Sun in Shadow is pretty hard to beatas her most daring thing! Apart from the game canon, though, it was pretty brave ofher to leave home on her pilgrimage.

8, 21, 32, 44 from the big list of oc questions?
Thank you!
8. Who has the worst luck?
Lenneth, with all the family sheā€™s lost and also all the townssheā€™s been run out of!
21. Do any of your characters have heterochromia?
I donā€™t think Ihave ever made such a one! It would be fun and interesting, but I never think of it when in character creation mode, apparently.
32. Do you have any characters who are twins?
Lottie andXipil! Fraternal twins of course, and near opposites in personality, but veryclose (Lottieā€™s not a mind reader, not unless the mental blocking training sheā€™sbeen doing with Anselm transitions into actual cipher skills at some point, butshe has gotten really good at reading Xipilā€™s expressions or picking up on whatā€™sunsaid behind the few words he does say, and she has a habit of speaking on hisbehalf which heā€™s never objected to).
I think, sofar, theyā€™re my only set of twins. I may give FjĆ³la a set of siblings who aretwins or triplets? Small possibility, and thatā€™s just backstory so we wonā€™tmeet them unless @grumpy-jedi decides to have them show up while big sis is onimportant LK businessā€¦ XD
44. Are any of your characters overshadowed by other siblings?Or have parents who clearly have a favorite? (ex: Boromir and Faramir)
Hmmm. For theItzlis, after a certain point I think there were just too many kids to favoritizeany of them much. But then, there were also so many that it would be easyfor some of the quieter ones to get lost in the chaos at time. (Xipil ran away fromhome once when he was little, and it may have had something to do with that.) (Nenetl,the third youngest and the oldest of the ones still attending calpulli school ā€“so sheā€™s in her final year of school ā€“ is likely another who getsovershadowed.) (Zaniyah may have considered herself overshadowed, and takenaction.)
Dal and hersiblingsā€¦just met, so weā€™ll see how that goes!
Lenneth doesnā€™trealize it at all but I think Briella may have been overlooked in Lenniā€™sshadow a little. Lenneth takes after their father a lot, and he certainlydelighted in teaching her some of his tinkering trade (and his musical tradetoo!) before the depression that swallowed him up after his wife died. He didnā€™tspend as much time with his second daughter, lacking that connection. But I thinktheir mother was better about equal time with both her daughters, and also Ithink Bree took after their mom a fair bit.

That dollmaker also had perfect Lottie braids as an option! (her eyes should be more teal than green but this was the closest. Iā€™ll forgive that on account of the braids. XD)

For the holiday ask: Nona would give Dal a little atlas book of maps (with Gilded Vale very clearly labeled) And Desta would send Vi a box of cookies and other treats from wherever sheā€™s been traveling recently!
Aw, Dal would get a little teary-eyed seeing Gilded Vale there, but would be glad to finally have that mystery sorted out! And then sheā€™d spend some time (quite a lot, probably, given her prior map-investigating rolls...) trying to find any other places sheā€™d been on that journey (meanwhile Ceri would hover nearby begging for stories of her sisterā€™s adventures in all those places) and guessing at where on the maps the rest of the god squad might be now. And sheā€™d send Nona a lovely wooden box with flowers painted on it, full of peppermint tea out of her garden in Ixamitl.
Vi enjoys the treats from Desta (all the while pondering whether she could figure out how to make some of them) and sends her back a packet of tzopi and cashew cakes from Citlatl!

OC pretend asks :-D
There were a lot of fun questions in that last ask list so Iā€™m just gonna answer the ones I want to instead of waiting for more asks from it!
1. The most recent OC Iā€™ve made: Idalia, but you doubtless knew that already from how much Iā€™ve talked about her since this campaign started. :-D Well...technically I guess inventing Weynid for one of Dalā€™s ficlets in Rannatober makes Weynid the most recent OC! Will I develop her more? Time will tell!
2. An early OC I remember making: The very earliest was probably a self-insert named Durandir in LOTRā€¦. :-D Wasnā€™t writing fic back then, so it was all just imagination and no record of it, just memories.
3. An OC Iā€™ve never used for anything: My username, Ranna Dylin, originated as a Star Wars character to fit into the X-wing novels. I ended up never writing those fics, so she became my online handle instead. (and Ranna/Rhannah became a few of my PCs in various rpgs, tooā€¦)
4. An OC whose story Iā€™ve got all planned (or even written): I mean theyā€™re all partly written, and none of them are ALL planned or theyā€™d be more written. XD But letā€™s see...Iā€™ve still got a lot of things planned for the Citlatl crew but got stuck on a scene where I needed (still need) a clearer idea of what the antagonists have been up to while Vi & company have been solving mysteries. I also had a lot of things planned out for a Hawkquisition part 4 but havenā€™t felt like writing DA much lately.
5. An OC I love: ALL OF THEM! I mean really how am I supposed to choose? I make far too many. Currently Dal is in line for the most hugs though. Poor dear.Ā 
6. An OC I love to hate: Uhhh...Licinius, the villain from Warriors Such As? I donā€™t honestly write many fully-detestable villains (and when I try to *coughAnselm* sometimes they turn out to be awesome and my new fave anyway).
More to come!

25, 33, 59, 65, 66 for Dal (and also Violet if you have time?)
Thank you!
25. If your OC has a soulmate, who is it?
Dal hasnā€™t yet found someonesheā€™d call a soulmate (romantically or platonically, I think, though she lovesSiofra and a few close friends back at the temple of course).
Violetā€™s soulmate is totallyEothas. (Only half kidding; she was just so glad to actually talk to him inDeadfire despite the crazy circumstances. I donā€™t know if Iā€™d call EdĆ©r orAnselm her soulmate when she romances either of them ā€“ even in the Deadfire andother versions of her story where she ends up reconciling with Anselm, sheā€™dkind of resent the implication that itā€™s because he was her soulmate all along;no, if she takes him back itā€™s entirely by her choice this time and because heā€™schanged for the better.) Hm, can her sister Audie be her platonic soulmate?Theyā€™ve always had such a close bond and any sibling rivalry got redirected toall those other siblings somehow, even when they were kids. (In another life,of course, Iantheā€™s platonic soulmate was Glynis, but Vi and Lenneth arenā€™tthat close as yet.)
33. What subjects interested your OC?
Idaliaā€™s formal education was alltemple training so I doubt there were lessons divided into specificsubjects/courses all that much, but in a modern AU, sheā€™d be the girl taking*all* the Home Ec/FACS/Whatever we call it these days courses. Sheā€™d excel atBotany and Culinary Arts, in other words.
Violet was most interested inphilosophy!
59. What does your OC think of him/herself?
Dal tries not to, mostly. Tendingto others before herself does get lonely after a while, though, if she letsherself think about it. Also sheā€™s got some confidence issues.
Vi pretty much thinks of herselfas Everyoneā€™s Big Sister. She has a lot of practice at that, after all. Inpractice this means she thinks sheā€™s the one who needs to be organized and planahead and gently nudge the others in line and comfort them and all of that,sheā€™s so very INFJ.
65.Ā  What is your OCā€™s favorite drink?
Idalia and Violet both are tea drinkers!
66. What is your OCā€™s favorite food?
Violet really, really likes muffins and is on anever-ending quest to bake decent ones.
Idalia likes fish! (I just really, really want achance to use her Fishing skill in this game at some point XD She did promiseto show Ona how to fish someday!)

For the uncommon questions: 1, 4, 29, and 31 for a Watcher of your choice?
Hmmm Iā€™m gonna just see what both Vi and Lenni have to say!
1. Whatā€™s the maximum amount oftime your character can sit still with nothing to do?
Violet can sit still a very long time, lost in thought,thanks to that Philosopher background. ;-)
Lenneth cannot. She is curiosity incarnate and would have torush off to satisfy her curiosity, or would have to chatter questions at thenearest victim, or would have to find something to tinker with to keep herhands busy or something sweet to eat orā€¦I give her all of, like, forty-fiveseconds of sitting still, max.
4. How easy is it to earn theirtrust?
Violet is pretty insightful andalso very empathetic, so youā€™ll have earned her compassion right away unlessyouā€™re actively causing harm or threatening others, and youā€™ll earn her trust oncesheā€™s talked to you for a bit and possibly got a glimpse of your soul, unlessshe sees any red flags in that process. (Sheā€™s compassionate, but also kind ofcautious after her placating nature pretty much backfired on her with a verycontrolling betrothed in her teenage yearsā€¦)
Lenneth trusts no one, becauseshe herself is seldom trustworthy (usually in the process of conning you, whywould she trust you in that circumstance?) but you can earn hertrust if youā€™ve got her back after traveling together a while, especially ifyou donā€™t shy away when learning some of the tidbits of her history.
29. Do they usually live up totheir own ideals?Ā 
Violetā€™s ideals are the standardEothasian ones, and she does rank pretty high on those (benevolence, honesty)but also on some Berathian ones (rational, stoic) so I think the Ianthina sideof her soul is still having its say. :-D
Lennethā€™s ideals are trickier ā€“well, sheā€™s a tricksy one herself. Sheā€™s really not all that great at thethieving/conning, but thatā€™s a career path of necessity rather than aspiration.She is, however, super resilient and indomitable, though I donā€™t know if shewould realize that was one of her ideals ā€“ itā€™s a deep down thing, her survivalinstinct. Sheā€™s also got a big-sister protective instinct and she thinks sheā€™sdone a poor job living up to that, with the baby brother dying of the fever hecaught from her, but her little sister Bree would probably disagree if Lenniwould listen. Lenneth also gets pretty protective of the people that travelwith her, but that usually gets her KOā€™d first in combat until Aloth guilts herinto fighting from range more often than on the front line.
31. Who are they the most glad tohave met?Ā 
Violet is really glad she got to meet Eothas in Deadfire,despite all the terrible circumstances surrounding that. :-D Uh, sheā€™s alsovery glad to have met Eder (romancing him or not) and Aloth.
Lenneth is most glad to have met Aloth; and innon-Watcher-Lenni Soul-and-Shield-verse, sheā€™s thrilled to meet Violet afterthey discover their souls were BFFs in previous lives. (Vi thinks thatā€™s neat,too, but less enthusiastically than Lenni does.) Lenniā€™s always happy to meet a new friend, though, especially if sheā€™s not having to con them for whatever reason.

27, 34 + 39 from the long list of of questions :>
Thanks!
27. Does your character know how to tie different kinds ofknots?
Hmmmā€¦Xipilprobably does? That would be a useful Ranger skill, I guess? (I donā€™t have anysailor characters. Welllll maybe FjĆ³la would have had a chance to pick up some knottechniques.)
34. Do any of your characters collect sea-shells or wear shelljewelry?
Lottie would!Lottie collects all sorts of things that she finds interesting and would happilymake jewelry out of them too.
39. Do any of your characters have the responsibilities of anadult despite being a child, or did they when they were?
Definitely Lenneth,who was still pretty young for an elf when her parents died and she was takingcare of her younger sister and baby brother.

šŸµāœØšŸ‘½ for the character(s) of your choice?
Annnd finally Iā€™m finishing the rest of these asks! :-D (Watcher Wednesday is a great time to do so for Vi and Lenni, at least.) Thank you for them!
šŸµ Are there anyrumours about your OC hanging around? Nasty ones or just good humoured? Got anygossip to share about them?
Hm, there mustcertainly be rumors about any and every Watcher. After Deadfire, Viā€™s widelyrumored to be dead ā€“ she doesnā€™t go directly back to Caed Nua afterwards sothose rumors continue to spread, and may have reached Anselm before the firstof her letters from the Defiant did.
Rumors aboundabout Lenni, some of which she started herself as a cover in various schemes.Many of them are true at least in part: she has a pretty checkered past, andeven when she is Watcher of Caed Nua there are some things bound to catch upwith her. Iā€¦have no specific examples, though, alas.
āœØ If your OC were a deity of some kind,what would they represent? What do they look like? How are they worshipped andwhat offerings would they expect? What are their places of worship like? Theirfollowers? Their teachings?
Violet is most certainly a deity of hugs. Well, moreseriously: probably of mediating disputes; she has a lot of practice in thatbetween twelve siblings and all the factions vying for her time as Watcher. Hertemples would be a place parties in conflict go for arbitration. Her priestswould either be Watchers themselves or at least very empathetic individuals,able to study the souls of those involved and come up with a compromiseacceptable to all.
šŸ‘½ Describe yourOC as if they were an urban legend or myth!
Hm, there might be lingering urban legends in GildedVale about the dawn godlike that used to serve in the temple there after Dalā€™sgone. (Probably nasty ones, given the unfortunate timing and the directionpublic opinion of Eothasians is headed thereā€¦Theyā€™ll probably say having one ofEothasā€™ godlikes among them drew his attention to the Dyrwood and brought thewar upon them.)
