What should we understand most about your OC?

This is pretty long, so it’s going under a Read More ^^’

Her name

‘R.A.’ Originally, it was the shortened version of my online name, ‘Raphianna’, but as I fleshed her out more, I gave her her own name, ‘Raelyn Ava’. I don’t usually put too much thought into names, I admit. I chose Raelyn Ava because it could still be an abbreviated version of R.A., but I genuinely love it now.

Her full name is Raelyn Ava Waterlily, and I chose the name Waterlily simply because it sounded pretty lol.

When she was younger, everyone called her Raelyn Ava, Raelyn, or Rae. But as of now, she’s shortened her name to R.A. and dropped her last name entirely, because she wanted as few ties to her childhood as possible.

How she was raised, background

She had a loving, albeit distant relationship with her parents.

Keyword: had.

They were killed in front of her when she was 9, when their village was attacked by a branch of Volkihar vampires. They’d tried to trade her for their own lives. She lived as a captive for 7 years afterwards, until she was 16, when she escaped. She wasn’t really ‘raised’ past the age of 9 per se, more so fought to survive.

Before, she lived a simple life, and was eager to learn archery, and was skilled in parkour. (I bring up parkour, cause my mama calls me a goat in the game since I can scale almost anything :P)

Her values

R.A. relies heavily on self-discipline. Those 7 years were hell, and she was never willing to talk about it after she escaped. There wasn’t anyone to talk to anyways. It made her emotional to think back on what she went through. Strangers didn’t need to worry about the weight of her wounds. And later on, her loved ones shouldn’t even have to imagine what she experienced. Her view of self discipline was a bit warped at first, but she learns how to understand it in a healthier way after she opens up to people.

She also has a tight grip on loyalty. When she learned that she could trust people, whether it be from the promise of money, deals, or genuine admiration, it was life changing. And when that loyalty started coming from real relationships more often, she was that much more determined to protect it. She has very negative feelings towards Mercer and Astrid because of this. (Though she believes Astrid deserved a second chance in the Void.)

Her looks & design

R.A. is a Wood Elf. She has shoulder length black hair, completely black eyes, and tan skin. She’s thin and 5’6”. She has a scar in the shape of a handprint across her mouth. (It’s the handprint from the warpaint option, but I made it into a scar.) There’s scarring across her throat also.

My first design for her was a Redguard, cause when I first started playing Skyrim, I literally just copied my mama as she played. (Redguard, heavy armour, two handed weapons.) My character had the same hair, but with silver eyes. She also still had the handprint across her mouth, but that was only because I thought it was cool at the time :P

I changed her to a Wood Elf when I learned that they were inspired by Native Americans. It was strange when I learned the races’ inspirations. I remember talking to my dad about it, and how I wanted to switch to a Wood Elf, since I’m also Native American, and he encouraged me to. Thus, the creation of R.A. really began.

But I still loved the silver eyes. I was bummed that wasn’t an option for the Wood Elves, so that’s why I chose the completely black option for her eyes. But R.A. did have silver eyes when she was younger, but they changed over the course of her life. Her hair also used to go down to her hips, but she cut it after she escaped.

Who’s her family

Right off the bat, yes, she has two adopted children, Lucia and Blaise.

But she also has two older siblings: a brother named Taon, who’s 35, and a sister named Erissa, who’s 31. Both Taon and Erissa left for Skyrim when their mother was pregnant with their sister; Taon was 16 and Erissa was 12. R.A. never knew either of them growing up, but her parents often talked about them.

Taon has green eyes, upper back length black hair in a high ponytail, and pale skin. Erissa has white hair that goes down to her mid back in a low ponytail, green eyes, and tan skin.

It took R.A. a long time to warm up to them, especially when she found out that they knew their mother was pregnant when they left.

By the time R.A. arrived in Skyrim, Taon lived in a cabin near the Eastmarch hot springs, and Erissa was Archmage of the College of Winterhold (canon who).

She does eventually get to know her siblings, and they become super close. Taon and Erissa feel horrible for essentially leaving R.A. behind, and they do their best to make up lost time with her.

They’re a really great aunt and uncle to R.A.’s kids.

R.A. gets Taon initiated into the Thieves Guild, and he and Erissa are among the few people who know that R.A., Karliah, and Brynjolf are Nightingales.

The Waterlily siblings also have two cousins, however.

Their names are Elision and Kyn Nightshade. Elision is 29 and Kyn is 28. (Pronounce Kyn like the beginning of Kynareth.)

Elision is a priest of Kynareth in Whiterun, and Kyn is a bard in Solitude. They learn about their cousins when Elision sees R.A. heal the Gildergreen with sap from its parent tree, and he sends a letter to Kyn.

Elision has black hair up in a ponytail much like Taon’s, golden eyes, and tan skin. Kyn has long black hair cascading down her upper back, purple eyes, and tan skin.

The Waterlilies are wary when meeting the Nightshades, since they never thought twice about their parents or any family they might’ve had.

As far as they’re concerned, their parents are dead to them.

But they become friends with Elision and Kyn, and the two cousins are just as angry at the Waterlily’s parents when they hear about what happened.

R.A. is the baby of all of them at 19.

However, blood doesn’t matter to R.A.. If she decides you’re family, you’re family.

She’s close friends with a Khajiit named Ji’zaka. He’s 26 years old, and they met as captives of Volkihar when R.A. was 10 and Ji’zaka was 17. Ji’zaka escaped with R.A. at the age of 23 when she was 16. They unfortunately were separated shortly after they escaped, and lost contact for 3 years.

Ji’zaka doesn’t know what happened for 2 out of those 3 years, but he found himself in Skyrim during the third year. Not welcome in any of the cities, and not really fitting in with any of the Khajiit caravans, he was initiated into the Dark Brotherhood and was an assassin for them when he reunited with R.A..

When she was named Listener, he was the only one besides Cicero who fully supported R.A.’s new role.

Ji’zaka has light grey fur that fades into white with black tips on every other end of his fur. He has red eyes, sharp claws, and multiple piercings in his ears.

He lives with R.A. at Lakeview Manor, and often ends up being a jungle gym and bed for her kids. They love him.

(All of them make one of the most chaotic groups to ever travel across Skyrim)

Who's her mentor

Delvin, which even she found odd, she’ll admit. They had a rocky start when they first met. R.A. was secure in her skills by the time she came into the Thieves Guild, and didn’t appreciate him assuming he knew better than her. She told him as much, rather harshly with her words; as much as her damaged vocal cords would let her, anyway. It was silent after she told him off, and R.A. did worry about making a bad impression, until Delvin laughed, and said he liked her attitude.

She was drawn to his offers of having a drink every other time she came back from a job (she never actually drank, just had some tea). He often seemed to know when something was wrong, and let her know he would listen. R.A. took Delvin up on his offers, and he was the first person she actually opened up to.

Delvin became a sort of father figure to her, someone she could safely confide in. She counts him among her family.

(I’m upset that you can’t insist you know what you’re doing with Delvin or Vex, so R.A. gets to do so from a story point. :P)

Most significant event

Talking with Serana throughout their quests with the Dawnguard. Specifically the conversation in the undercroft of Volkihar castle. R.A. never realised how much she loved family until then. And seeing Serana so resigned to her own father’s fate helped her move on from her parents’ betrayal. It wasn’t forgiveness, it likely would never be forgiveness, but she could let go of it. And seeing Serana in such vulnerable moments helped R.A. see her in a different light. She never hated or disliked Serana, but she tried not to get close to her at first. The amount of trust between them near the end nearly made R.A. weep.

Who does she care for

She cares about her kids, her siblings, her cousins, Ji’zaka, Serana, and Kharjo. Yes, the care is reciprocated, without question.

(Fun fact, I’ve played R.A., Taon, and Kyn in Skyrim :D I couldn’t play Erissa, cause I suck at mage characters, and I think the next OC I wanna play as is Elision, since he gives me paladin/healer vibes ^^ I wanna play Ji’zaka, but I’m unsure about fur colours and patterns.)

Her hobbies & relaxing

Relaxing is relatively new to R.A. and Rayya had to tell her in the gentlest terms that patrolling her house all night wasn’t typically relaxing; not if you were constantly on lookout. Rayya said it was primarily her job, and she urged R.A. to find another way to relax.

Kyn got her enrolled in the Bards College, and R.A. took to playing the lute. Her kids love to sit with her and listen while she plays. They often fall asleep like that.

Gods help you if she finds her favourite book series. You can’t get her attention for hours.

When there’s no enemies around, she loves to roam around Falkreath and the Rift. They’re her favourite Holds.

What should you understand the most

R.A. has a lot on her mind. Thane, factions, crises, the complexity of a possible chaotic afterlife-

It takes a lot to slow her mind down, and in some cases, make her see reason. She’s not reckless, but she knows when and where to target her rage. She shouldn’t have to bear these kinds of responsibilities, but she does. She’ll push through them, because she knows it will give others options she never had in the past.

Nothing can really be done when she gets like that. The best you can do is follow her and see your next quest through.

Now that was more of a description than Noah was expecting and she might have been making the whole thing up to fuck with him but he could not have cared less. It worked wonders to get his imagination running. Gazing down at her as she continued to sit on the edge of her mattress, he couldn't help but get the impression that she was inviting him to do something. And he was happy to. "Well, it seems to me, that they best way to get back at her is to fuck right here during her party. If she wants to snoop around," he shrugged as though it would be on her if she stumbled onto something she didn't want to see and Noah wasn't above putting on a show. He had a feeling Raelyn wasn't either. They were both performers after all. "That's on her." Keeping his eyes locked on her, the man climbed onto the bed, crawling over her mattress until he was hovering over her. "There's so much more room for activities." Half a joke and half true as his mind raced with all the things they could get away with here that they hadn't had room for on the flight.

being labeled a rebel, for some reason, set sparks off in her chest. raelyn had to sip on her wine to hide the smile that sprang to her lips, the flush still present on her face, but now if she was unsure if it was from him, her own thoughts, or the beverage in hand. tilting her chin up, she tapped her fingers on her glass, pondering. a coy smirk of her own decorating painted lips as she made the decision to entertain him. ❛ full skate outfit, ❜ raelyn responded, her words hushed with a sultry lull to them, biting the inside of her lip, contemplating whether or not to give more detail. for her own amusement, she decided on the latter. ❛ leotard pulled to the side, tights ripped just large enough for his hand to fit through— i still had my skates on. ❜ as noah's eyes opened, she contemplated rising from her spot on the bed, but stubbornness kept her planted where she was. as he crossed over to her, larger than life it seemed, her eyes glittered. raelyn pressed the palm of the hand not nursing a wine glass to the mattress behind her, leaning back to keep as much distance between them as possible, though that didn't stop her from admiring the way noah seemed to tower over her the closer he got. a memory of her sinking to her knees in the airplane bathroom danced in her mind for a moment, which made her teeth grip onto her lower lip as a warmth spread through her.

❛ i'm listening...❜

Steal my look #11

ft. raelyn again + the same pair of jeans

see previous looks here

[moontrait]

Hi Moontrait! I Love your "Steal My Look" lookbooks 💞! I was wondering what the jeans were in this post, post/611213568839417856/steal-my-look-11-ft-raelyn-again-the-same-pair. Also, what is the blouse on the 4th outfit on the same post? Thanks so much!

hi! the jeans were a WIP, i just posted it :) but you can find the blouse here 

[tooswcctx]

"Oh so you're a rebel - that makes so much more sense." A girl who grew up in a white room with an overbearing mother actually did make sense for a woman who would do something impulsive like fuck a stranger on a plane. But the added layer that she had always been rebellious? How intriguing. His eyes followed where she pointed, tempted to break in and get reading until she admitted what was most likely the juiciest story that was in there. It somehow took the wind out of his sails but he was more than willing to be dramatic and play it up. Closing his eyes, he smirked an annoyingly smug smirk. "Whether or not it's true, I am definitely imagining it. Was it full skate outfit when it happened or...? I really need all the details to make sure I'm picturing it right."

He wished he could have kept it up but he couldn't stop himself from laughing, eyes opening once more before he crossed towards her. "You know what it sounds like? Sounds like you want to get back at your mom and I have an incredible way to do that."

raelyn followed his finger, looking to the walls and grinning pridefully; ❛ well, i painted them purple when i was sixteen behind her back. told my mom i'd quit skating if she made me paint them white again. ❜ the only thing her mother put more time into besides herself was rae's skating career— countless dollars being spent on anything and everything she could have ever needed, or wanted, to get herself where she was now. rae quitting skating would be quitting on behalf of both of them— so purple the walls stayed. her eyes moved back towards his, swirling the contents of her glass, amusement painting her features as she watched his eyes practically light up despite the dullness of the four walls around them. at his joke, she beamed, pointing her free hand in the direction of her painfully plain vanity, a challenging arch to one of her manicured brows; ❛ top left drawer. most you're gonna get out of reading that is reading about how i got fingered by my ex-skating partner in the locker room after practice... ❜ god, maybe it was the wine, but now that they were in the security of her room — with no eyes watching — raelyn found herself feeling rather bold. they were in HER territory now. ❛ i may or may not have made it up because i hated my ex skating partner and my mother loves to snoop but... guess we'll never know, huh ?? ❜

[tooswcctx]

Oh, yes! They were on the move and Noah refilled his wine just a little bit before following behind her like an eager puppy and in a way, he was. He was certainly eager. Sneaking a peek into the living room, he spotted both of their mothers and all their assorted friends, thoroughly distracted with whatever stories they were swapping and festive movie was playing in the background. He hurried up the stairs after her and waltzed into her room. It wasn't like he had any kind of idea of what her room would look like, he had never even thought about her at all until their rendezvous last night and now he couldn't seem to forget about her. Weird. "You lied." He smirked, turning to look at her before making a wide circle to take it all in. "You said she didn't like color, what do you call that?" Hand lifted to point at the walls. "That looks like purple to me which is one hundred percent a color last time I checked." Even though he had a feeling she was joking, she would have cared if he started opening things up, he was willing to see how far he could tease her. "You sure? 'Cause I'll start looking for old diaries and find out all your secrets."

sipping on her wine, raelyn nearly choked at his horrendous joke, swallowing hard as she lifted a sleeve-covered hand to shield her mouth. ❛ god, does that joke actually work for you ?? ❜ rae inquired, pushing her weight off of the counter to start leading him to the staircase. ❛ well, you know, ying and yang i guess... ❜ raelyn shrugged, balancing her wine in her one hand as she uses the other to trail along the banister. she didn't look behind her, though the temptation was there, and instead she continued to keep inhaling her wine like she needed it to get up these damn stairs and not run for the hills. ❛ don't say i didn't warn you, ❜ rae laughed as she approached her bedroom door, glancing at noah for a moment before turning the knob and pushing it open. it was just as plain as she had described it— lavender walls, hardwood floor, a bed with a white comforter and a neatly folded throw the end. shelves lined the walls ornamented with all kinds of trophies and medals, and just as she promised, framed and occasionally autographed posters littered the walls. ❛ have at it, snoop alllllll you like. ❜ rae invited, opting to sit on the edge of her bed, crossing her legs once more and observing noah with a glint of intrigue in her gaze.

[tooswcctx]

There was nothing quite like being introduced to the woman he'd just fucked by her mother who was under the impression they'd never met before. To be fair, that kind of situation didn't come up often or ever, but he was going to bask in it as long as he could. And he was nothing if not a good actor. Noah gave Raelyn a smile, reaching out to shake her hand like the true gentleman he was. "Raelyn, pleasure to meet you. It's nice to finally meet the family my mom raves so much about." His smile grew as he released her hand, turning his attention back to her mother as an idea started to form. They were playing this off well...a little too well for his chaotic nature. "I'm so thrilled to be here, makes me feel even worse about not being able to come in the past. I will definitely be coming again, wouldn't miss this for the world." Glancing over at Rae again, he furrowed his brow, narrowing his eyes slightly as though seeing the ghost of a long lost friend. "I - do I know you? Your face is so familiar to me...you didn't happen to fly in from Los Angeles, did you?"

she smiled a little wider at the petname this time, turning her face away so she could redirect her focus on the mirror and not the fluttering of butterfly wings in her stomach. it was an easier done than said task, apparently, because in just a few minutes — raelyn had cleaned herself up exceptionally well. after padding around the room collecting her strewn clothing items, redressing herself, at the last minute raelyn opted to change her sweater in exchange for a different one in order to play up the too-much-wine card she was already rehearsing in her head. her hair was now pulled back into a somewhat tamed ponytail, and after dousing herself in some perfume that cost way more than she'd like to admit, raelyn took one deep breath before finally coming out of her room. descending the stairs, chin held high, attempting to keep what was left of her dignity on the forefront... it didn't take long to spot her mother and noah conversing. a lilt of a smirk tugged at freshly glossed lips, thankful she had met her five minute mark or he had been roped into conversation before being able to escape....it wasn't long until her mother dearest spotted her and was waving wildly in her direction.

❛ raelyn, oh THERE you are dear, i was getting worried. come come, i want you to meet noah... your aunt's son. noah, this is my daughter, raelyn,❜ the socialite mused, and in tandem, rae approached and turned to face the man who had just climbed form her childhood bedroom window— plastering the most sickly sweet smile upon her lips. ❛ noah, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, ❜ rae cooed in greeting, tilting her head to the side, eyes gleaming. ❛ oh, noah, your mother has told us so much about you !! i know she is over the moon you were able to come home this year— we all are. isn't that right dear ?? ❜ raelyn's mother swooned, her lashes caked in mascara and fluttering wildly in noah's direction. the whole display tempted rae to roll her eyes at her mother's suffocating hospitality and constant need to save face, but instead, her smile stretched a little more, still achingly kind. if this conversation went on any longer, SHE'D be finding a window to climb out of; ❛ absolutely.❜

"Good girl," Noah murmured, a smirk back on his lips as he released her to refocus on the window. "Five minutes." He promised, lifting the pane and sliding out onto the small part of the roof outside of her window. It was a lot easier than he had expected. In worst case scenario, there would have been way more obstacles, but this wasn't some movie ( although he would have loved to be in it ). It took a little work, but soon enough he was on the ground and making his way to the front door of the house, checking his reflection in the mirror to make sure he was looking more put together than Raelyn had. A great sense of prideful amusement washed over him at the thought of the number he'd done on her. Now that was something to get an Oscar for. Running his fingers through his hair, Noah walked up to the door, ringing the bell loudly in hopes that Raelyn's mother would be the one to answer it. If someone else did - well, there goes there plan. Thankfully, it was her face of surprise he saw when it finally opened. "Hey, hi - I know you're probably surprised to see me here since I was inside, i just needed some air and ended up getting locked out. Hope I didn't interrupt anything."

raelyn cringed at the crass language, groaning theatrically, ❛ noah, ❜ she pleaded again, her lips curling into a pout as she grabbed a makeup wipe to start cleaning up the smeared mascara under her eyes. fuck, she was a mess. raelyn wasn't even sure she could confidently say it was a hot one but... she couldn't clean up as fast as noah had. her mother knew when she had an eyelash on her cheek from up in the bleachers at her competitions... coming face to face with her after a heated rendezvous with her best friend's son at their neighborhood christmas party was NOT happening unless she got some time to get it together. she smelt like sex, and her face was flushed with a post-orgasm glow ripe in her cheeks, and as he lamented in her bedroom about her request, she worked feverishly at her face. when he entered the bathroom, her lips parted to speak again, but the quick and short-lived contact with her swollen and sensitive clit had her squeaking instead, weight momentarily shifting back to press against his unfortunately clothed chest. when he spoke, she couldn't help but nod her head ( like a fucking obedient pet ), exhaling a heavy breath when his hand retracted itself. ❛ five minutes, got it, ❜ rae nodded, blinking her eyes back open. ❛ okay, that'll work... i'll just. fuck, i'll figure something out, ❜ she voiced, mainly to herself, opting to brush tangled locks back into a ponytail, her body still vibrating. glancing over at him, she smiled; ❛ — see you in five, then. ❜
