finally got this to a postable state!!! meet jootrena, my favourite girly!!

also happy mermay i love fish girlies sm if u couldnt tell

[glitchyvoice]

Character design details? Oh do tell!

me looking at this ask with the biggest eyes (sorry this took so long to answer i didnt have time to sit down and type this out until now)

okok so

jootrena right

(if you dont know who jootrena is this is her)

shes like literally my fav fates twine character and she doesnt show up for so long but i need to talk about her

ik you didnt ask about story stuff but i have to give context so that infodump is also here

fates twine (my fic) spoilers past this point, obviously. if you dont want those click off.... (in future ill be tagging all fates twine spoilers under #fatestwine spoilers!! so if you dont want those feel free to filter the tag)

..... okay so. jootrena shows up after narinder has ascended. by this point yngya (the god of seasons as told in the cotl lore tablets) has stopped existing and so have seasons, and the achlys family (maras family [my lamb]) are instead deaths disciples; mara being naris head disciple.

jootrena comes from anchordeep. she was a doctor who was forced to flee her village for trying to heal the sick, since there that's considered heresy since illness is a divine punishment from kallamar.

she ends up finding achlys village and ofc mara accepts her. they understand what it's like to be cast out like she was, and ofc they also understand how important someone like her is, since they were sick for such a large part of their life with no hope of surviving until... something happened :3

jootrena absolutely despises kallamar for this, and very heavily leans into narinders resurrection stuff when that comes around. She wears things like fishing line hook piercings in her ear and fishnet around her tail. These are a way of silently protesting the kind of treatment she went through and eventually a silent way to support narinder after his imprisonment.

Her camellias are, first of all, placed on her as a tribute to the nickname Mara gave her, as they like to give people they're close to nicknames of flowers that represent them. (This started from a point in their life where they had to use sign language, and would use flowers as a way to address people through sign!!)

And second of all, of course, they represent how she's a healer.

(And while this just came to me now, and was originally just cool placement, the camellias coming off the fishnet on her tail could represent how despite all she's been through, she's free in achlys village. and she can be who she really wants to be and help the people she wants to help!! which is cool)
