I love my Dollie here

gift for @yerumeruii

[jesusbutbetterrr]

ok but Yumi kinda was right when he pointed out that everytime the rest of the group would find a picture that 'looks' like him it's just a white guy with brown hair. Only thing about that is he does just also looking like ever other one of them.

[ID: digital drawing showing a scene featuring eleven characters hanging out in the same room. on the left is a low coffee table with five characters sitting around it: Lea, a Black vampire with ombre hair is speaking with cane in her hand; Yumi, a petite blonde woman listening to her from her wheelchair; Hayden and Naomi - a tall white man with burn scars and amputated arm, and a much smaller blue-haired person with an EKG on their chest; and Hideo, a darkskinned Japanese man in a wheelchair who looks at them unimpressed. Slightly behind them are two people talking, both with a dog with them - Gigi, a Japanese person with albinism and fox ears shown from behind, and Jie, a Chinese man with a BKA and small scars on his face and throat, holding a cup in hand. In the background, Thabisa, a Black chubby woman is waving to 99A, a wheelchair using gray alien who is waving back. In the very front, shown from the chest up, are Cleo and Elysian smiling at each other - the former is a Black burn survivor half-elf wearing a big scarf, and the latter is a white enby with yellow-purple hair and patchy facial hair. The background features multiple flags: the disability pride flag, the disability rights flag, and the Deaf flag. End ID.]

Hi Cat and Mouse! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend so far! <3 May I please ask for some (preferably white) female faceclaims with acting resources between 21-30 who could play the part of a character who’s part sea goddess on her mother’s side, and has the personality that is kind, feisty, creative, independent, and intelligent, please?

2 days until Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution is released

At this rate, I'm running out of things to post. But for the sake of this post, I'm actually doing something related to the game.

Now, since the game's US release date has yet to be revealed (since we only got the year of it's release, which is 2024), and that it will probably take until after the game's for the dub cast to reveal on Twitter that their the voices of the new characters, I've made a headcanon for how the cast would sound in English.

The first ones would be the Failure Goddesses - Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio. For Pippih, it will be Lisa Reimold (Framme from Fire Emblem: Engage; Liliana Pinnata from Death end re;Quest; Kurumi from Lycoris Recoil; Turi from Ascendance of a Bookworm). For Jagaa, it will be Amber May (The Narrator from Komi can't Communicate; Dehya from Genshin Impact; Yanqing from Honkai: Star Rail; Kami from Ba Da Bean). For Reedio, my closest suggestion would be Faye Mata, who previously portrayed Ai Masujima in Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, God Eater in Megadimension Neptunia VII, and Paix St. Gliss in Super Neptunia RPG, as well as being the voice of Aqua from KonoSuba, Malty S. Melromarc from The Rising of the Shield Hero, Astolfo from Fate/Apocrypha, and Kagami Tsurugi from Miraculous Ladybug. My other suggestions for Reedio would be either Emily Frongillo (Yumi Funaberi from Shin Ultraman, Chica from Fazbear and Friends, and a few additional voices from Arte), Sam Slade (Abigail Bloodroose from Epic Seven; Janet from Brawl Stars; Title (Nut) from Dislyte; Huwa and Jiangli from Genshin Impact), Anairis Quiñones (Nessa from Pokemon: Twilight Wings, Miriko from My Hero Academia, Echidna from Re:Zero, Miyuki Shiba from The Irregular at Magic High School, and upcoming character Lynette from Genshin Impact, as well as replacing Christine Marie Cabanos as Snow White in Mary Skelter Finale due to the latter being on maternity leave at the time), or Elizabeth Maxwell (Rosaria from Genshin Impact; Natasha from Honkai: Star Rail; Winter Schnee from RWBY; Ymir from Attack on Titan; Nikki from Camp Camp; Ashmedia from Trillion: God of Destruction)

As for the other characters, I can predict Dawn M. Bennett (Female Shez from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Yukong from Honkai: Star Rail, Kale from Dragon Ball Super, and Sody Pop from Chikin Nugget, as well as replacing Karen Strassman as Aigis in the upcoming Persona 3 Reloaded) as F-Sha, Justice Washington (Issac the Estoc from Boyfriend Dugeon; Mack Starz from Chronexia and the Eight Seals; Crunchy Chip Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom) as Copy the Hard, Hayden Daviau (Priestess from Goblin Slayer; Rina Tennouji from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School; Mary from Pokemon Journeys; Yasuko Kouenji from The Helpful Fox Senko-san) as Copy the Art, and Kimberley Anne Campbell (Hayase Nagatoro from Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro; Nahida from Genshin Impact; Dawn from Pokemon Masters; Kyuuma from Fly Me to the Moon; Typhon from Re:Zero) or Dani Chambers (Nilou from Genshin Impact; Arlan from Honkai: Star Rail; Becky Blackbell from Spy x Family; Emilico from Shadow House; Chise Hitori from The Ancient Magus' Bride) as Copy the Code.

That's just my theory though. I might reblog this post if IFI announces a different EN cast from my hypothetical EN cast.

My Very Soul (Chapter 2)

Anakin Skywalker x Jedi!Reader

Link to Chapter 1

Warnings: beginnings of some puppy love

Summary: You, a youngling at the Temple, enter a new stage in your journey to becoming a Jedi [reminder—this is an AU where Padme doesn't exist]. p.s. I'm starting when they're young bc I want the romance to have more stakes, obvs. Also, puppy Hayden 🥺

Word Count: 4.1k

"Concentrate, you must," you heard Master Yoda instruct, as if from a distance. You sat in the meditation chambers, deep in thought, or, perhaps, deep in the process of trying to escape thought. Meditation had always come naturally to you, but this made the process of contemplating the currents of life all the more complex. You had to mind the others, their presences reaching out beside you. You had to make sure not to lose control of your body or your abilities while you explored the deep and mysterious trenches of the Force.

         "Clear your minds," Master Yoda's voice continued, and you allowed these thoughts to slip away from you, like flower petals falling from a stem in the wind. You cleared your body, your legs, your arms, moving up into your head. You allowed yourself patience. A woman's face swam into your vision, a face you'd seen meditating before in the past, and you allowed this face to pass through your consciousness. You had a hunch what it might mean, that the face of this specific Jedi Knight floated into your brain so often. Still, meditation was not the time for puzzling, or trying to extract meaning. You were meant to let the thoughts come and go. You felt the hum of the Force, the buzzing around you, and, quickly, gently, you reached your hand up.

         "Hey—" Dallum said, your fingers pinching his hand where he had left it, about to flick you behind the ear.

         "Younglings," Master Yoda said, and Dallum quickly sat back down, pretending nothing had happened. You smiled, your eyes still closed. You knew Master Yoda was aware of everything happening in this room, and you felt his amusement combine in the Force with your own. The stronger you grew in your power, in the Force, the less Dallum was able to get under your skin.

         "Younglings," Master Yoda repeated, and you opened your eyes, watching the old Jedi pacing the room with his cane.

         "Mind the living Force, you should, when you meditate," Master Yoda said, looking directly at you. "Keep your mind open, you must. Allow your thoughts," he continued, looking to Dallum, to Yumi, and to Leve, your newest classmate, "to manifest as they choose. Shape them, inform them, do not."

         "Yes, Master" you all said together, nodding to him.

         "Very good," Master Yoda entuned, with a small smile. Master Yoda was different than the other Jedi instructors. He never got angry, nor impatient. He never needed to command respect, he simply earned it. He had a gift with young minds—this much was clear to you. "This afternoon, report to the upper eastern deck, you will," Yoda told the younglings, and you all looked at each other. The upper training decks were usually reserved for Padawans, and those more advanced in their training.

         "Yes, Master," you all repeated, and you stood, bowing to Master Yoda.

         "Go, you may," the Master Jedi said, and you all quietly left the meditation chamber.

         "I wonder why we are going to do training up there?" Yumi asked, looking around at the lot of you.

         "Maybe Dal is going to be chosen as a Padawan," Seeva said innocently, looking up at Dallum. "I heard sometimes the Masters like to come and watch training before they meditate on their decisions."

         "That didn't happen with Henry, though," Eha pointed out. It had been almost three years since Henry had been chosen, and left the group to join Master Faer as his Padawan. You wouldn't admit it aloud, not even to Eha, but you missed him terribly. You knew others in the group felt the same.

         "Master Faer already knew he wanted to take Henry on as his Padawan, though" you interjected.

         "I bet the Knights coming to watch us are all fighting to take me on," Dallum said, his cocky voice not letting on any of the true emotion you felt inside him, through the Force. "They all want the strongest of us." You felt the ripple in Dallum's presence—his fear, his insecurity. You sighed. You knew Dallum was of Padawan age, and you knew if he wasn't chosen soon, he would likely be relegated to a different Temple job. Those younglings sent to Agri-Corps or the like still were often chosen as Padawans when they grew older, you knew—but you imagined it would feel like a failure, to Dallum, to perform that kind of menial labor.

         "If they want the strongest, they wouldn't choose you," Eha quipped, and Dallum's face soured.

         "You know, Eha, I'll miss you when I leave," Dallum replied, taking Eha's hand in his. She quickly pulled hers away. "When I'm out in the real world, risking my life for the sake of the Republic, I'll be thinking of you. It'd be easier, you know," he continued, leaning toward her clumsily, "if I had one last kiss." Eha dodged Dallum's face with ease, using the Force to push his foot off balance, causing him to fall forward, his lips falling into nothing. The group laughed.

         "You'll come around," Dallum said, regaining his balance, grinning at her. Eha rolled her eyes. The group of you turned the corner as you headed to the gardens, where you usually spent your break. As you entered the courtyard, your eyes fell upon a boy. Though he was taller, his hair shorter, and his skin darkened from the sun, you recognized him immediately. He turned around.

         "Y/N?" he asked, his voice slightly deeper than the last time you'd met, three years ago. You felt a tremor in the Force. You nodded. "Anakin," he said, reminding you, pointing to himself.

         "I remember," you told him, walking up to where he stood, amidst the huge leaves and colorful flora of the garden. Though you hadn't seen him in years, you had remembered this boy for the intensity of his Force presence, the striking nature of his emotional landscape. You'd kept an eye out for him after you'd met, and you'd thought you'd seen him once in passing, but the Temple was very large, and Padawans like him were often out on assignment. Walking up to him now, you saw that he was at least 6-8 inches taller than he was the last time you'd seen him, and lankier. Though still a boy, he was already showing the signs of a teenager in his arms and his height. For some reason, looking into his blue eyes overwhelmed you, if only for a second.

         "You've grown," you told him, casting around for something to say. He smiled down at you, pushing his Padawan braid behind his shoulder.

         "So have you," he said, looking you in the eye, and you felt the same life-force behind his voice you remembered, that sincerity, that sense that he was speaking from his very soul. "Grown more beautiful, I mean." He glanced around at your classmates, suddenly looking flustered. "I mean, for a Jedi—" he continued, his face flushed. The younglings giggled, and you felt your own face growing hot.

         "So this is the Padawan they've been talking about," Dallum said scathingly, looking Anakin up and down. "The Chosen, or some garbage."

         "Those are just rumors," Anakin said, his blush turning to irritation as he looked Dallum in the face.

         "I thought you'd be older. And well," Dallum said, a mocking laugh escaping his lips, "I thought there'd be a bit more of you."

         "Don't be an asshole, Dal," Eha chided. Dallum and Anakin stood, face to face, looking each other head on. Anakin was taller, but Dallum had a thicker build.

         "How do you know Y/N?" Seeva asked, looking up at Anakin with wonder.

         "We met, once," Anakin said. "When I was just a boy." Anakin turned back to you, craning his neck as if to appear taller, grinning.

         "If you haven’t noticed, you're still a boy," you told him, raising your eyebrows.

         "Not for long," Anakin replied. The intensity with which he looked at you made you squirm. You couldn't pinpoint why. You felt the need to deflect.

         "That's good news, I suppose. Some maturing might help you catch up," you said sarcastically, smirking. "In wit, at least." The group laughed, and Anakin flushed again, his cheeks a dark pink. You could feel a temper in him, rising through the Force, but it wasn't anger that plagued him now. It was a feeling you couldn't define.

         "Whatever you say, youngling," Anakin replied, emphasizing the last word. This time it was you who flushed. How you wished you could take on this cocky Padawan in combat—how you wished you could put him in his place.

         "Well," Anakin said causally, "I've got places to be. Important missions to be debriefed on, you know." You glared up at him, trying to hold your curiosity at bay. You felt competitive, you felt irritated, you felt—you didn't understand the feeling rising in your torso. It was a feeling you'd never felt before.

         "Off you go, then," you said, just as casually, using your hand to gesture him to leave. He didn't.

         "I—I'll be seeing you," Anakin said, the confident filter over his voice faltering, looking at you with uncertainty. You looked back, but said nothing. He waited a moment, before shaking his head, and you stood, watching him turning to walk away.

"She didn't even recognize me, Master," Anakin said, laying on the floor of the meditation room, staring up in the direction of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who sat on the meditation ottoman, his legs folded, his eyes closed. "She's been in my dreams, her face in my meditations every day—at least, almost every day—for the past three years, and she barely even—"

         "Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin," Obi-Wan said, his eyes still closed. "They betray you."

         "I am being mindful," Anakin countered, frustrated. "You didn't see the look on her face. She looked me over, and just—it was like I was an unwelcome presence." Obi-Wan sighed, opening his eyes. Meditating was not Anakin's strong suit, and trying to do so in his presence was sometimes a losing battle.

         "Search your feelings, Anakin," Obi-Wan said calmly, his role of mentor taking him over, pushing away his feelings of annoyance. "What is it that truly bothers you? Do you feel you are missing a sense of comradery with the others who grew up in the Temple?" Obi-Wan could admit that Anakin's training had thus far been out of the ordinary. Taking on a Padawan at a time like this—when the Republic seemed to be slowly cracking, like a dam with streams of water escaping—meant that he and Anakin had often been out on assignment, and not back at the Temple, training with others Anakin's age. Obi-Wan wondered if this lack of companionship was hurting his Padawan, making him feel like an outsider. Anakin shook his head.

         "No, that isn't it," Anakin said, frustrated. He knew his Master didn't understand. He himself didn't fully understand—this girl, who had plagued his thoughts for so long, who had called him by the name only used by his mother and his friends on Tatooine. He felt a pang when he thought of them. How he had craned his neck, looking through the hallways each time he and Obi-Wan had returned to the Temple, hoping to catch a glimpse of you in the mess hall, but for whatever reason, you never appeared. He had even wondered if he had imagined you—if you truly had been an angel, visiting him on that day that he had felt so empty, beginning his new life without Master Qui-Gon's comforting presence. When he had seen you again today—he couldn't understand the feeling. It was as if you could see through him, as if you could read everything inside him like a book. He'd never before felt that way about a person. And how you had grown since the last time he'd seen you—the feeling he catalogued inside him was unfamiliar, originating in his middle, churning to get out.

         "Maybe some more time at the Temple would do us both some good," Obi-Wan said thoughtfully. "Training without the pressures of real-world negotiations..." Obi-Wan stood up. "If you can behave yourself, of course." Anakin seemed lost in thought. Obi-Wan laughed. The pathetic life form that had been the small boy he'd picked up on Tatooine had become more of a liability than he could have ever dreamed—but somehow, he wouldn't have it any other way. He felt now he needed the young presence beside him just as much as Anakin needed him.

         "Come along, Anakin," Obi-Wan said, and Anakin looked up, his eyes still a mess of adolescent confusion. "I have an idea for how we can spend our afternoon."

You waited with the rest of the younglings outside the balcony on the upper eastern side of the Temple, as instructed. You couldn't think why you would be called to do combat training here, unless Seeva was right—perhaps Dallum was being considered to become someone's Padawan. You wouldn't be sorry for him to leave the class, you thought, even though his irksome nature did provide comic relief at times. You sensed his feelings now, as he stood next to you, tension rolling off of his Force presence. You could feel his insecurity, and you felt for him—how difficult it might be, for someone as trigger happy as Dallum, if he were to be assigned to a service job. You could admit that wasn't where he belonged—he was meant for combat, even if his emotions often got in the way of strategy. You felt his anxiety humming beside you, and you tried to push your Force presence out of yourself, tried to communicate a feeling of calm to him.

         "Get out of my head, worm," Dallum hissed, pushing you back against the wall. You dropped your reach through the Force, shoving him off of you. Well, I tried, you thought.

         "Younglings," you heard Master Yoda command, "enter, you may." Your class straightened, entering the opening doors to the balcony single file, arranging yourselves in a line facing Master Yoda and two others. The first was Master Plo Koon, you recognized, and the second was Master Yuma Ohno. You all bowed in front of your superiors, you stifling your surprise at seeing the face of Master Yuma up close—the face that had haunted your meditations for months.

         "Space out, young ones, and we will go through the variations together," Master Plo Koon instructed, and you all did as you were told, quietly and respectfully. You felt tension and nerves in the room, not just from Dallum, as you all were guided through the positions with your sabers. You kept your posture straight, trying to perform well under the watchful eye of these Master Jedi.

         "Sorry to disturb," you heard an affable voice say behind you, and you sensed the presence before you turned to look along with the rest of the class. Walking onto the deck was Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, followed closely by his Padawan. You flushed. What was he doing here?

         "I wondered if my Padawan might be allowed to join in this afternoon's training," Obi-Wan said courteously, looking to Master Yoda.

         "Join, young Skywalker may," Master Yoda said, giving Obi-Wan an interested look. Anakin smiled, his stance looking self-assured as he glanced in your direction. You kept your face neutral, though you started to feel a sense of pressure at having such a large audience for your afternoon training session. You sensed the others feeling this tension as well. Dallum was sweating, and Eha was standing so straight she looked as if she might have grown right there in that spot.  

         "Young ones, follow my lead," Master Plo said, continuing his movements, and Anakin joined in as you all moved your sabers through the variations. You tried hard to focus, but the more you breathed in through the Force, the more you felt the strong, overbearing presence behind you, as if he were watching your every move.

         "Very good," Master Plo praised, as you all clicked your sabers off, stowing them in your belts. Master Yoda hobbled over, his cane clicking as it hit the ground.

         "Commence our usual combat practice, we will," Master Yoda said, his voice calming, giving you a grounded feeling. "Show Masters Plo, Yuma, and Obi-Wan your progress, you must."

         "Yes, Master," you all entuned, all except Anakin, who gave a simple nod. He was not accustomed to the manners of the Temple, you noticed.

         "Mind yourselves, you should," Master Yoda continued. "Obi-Wan, your Padawan may begin." Anakin stepped forward, wearing a smug smile, looking at the other younglings with glee. "Y/N, spar with him, you will," Master Yoda instructed, giving you a small, peculiar smile.

         Your stomach dropped. It was unusual for you to get nervous during combat practice—you were top of the class, in most all respects, and didn't usually have a hard time swallowing your nerves and grounding your attention. Today, though, you felt the presences of the Masters watching you, felt Anakin's overpowering consciousness through the Force as you walked forward, standing to face him.

         "I'll go easy on you," Anakin said quietly, bowing and smiling, unholstering and igniting his blue lightsaber.

         "You won't even have the time," you retorted, lighting your saber in kind. You noticed, standing across from Anakin, that your sabers were identical in color. You held yours up, feeling your heart beat rapidly.

         "Begin," Master Plo instructed. You jumped high into the air, spinning your saber toward Anakin's as he quickly moved to block your blow, countering with one of his own. You moved faster than you ever had before during training, jumping this way and that. You noticed that Anakin seemed to prefer the Djem So variation, while you yourself preferred the Makashi. It made for an interesting mix. It did not surprise you that Anakin was very skilled with a laser sword—in fact, he was the most skilled fighter you'd ever faced, and you felt your face grow hot in your concentration. What did surprise you was how connected you felt to Anakin as you both fought, your lightsabers moving so quickly around you it all looked like a blur. Neither of you seemed to be relying on your vision or hearing—rather, you felt in his mind what he was going to do, and he felt in your mind how you would counter. You had always been skilled at reading others through the Force, but you had never felt a presence as intense as Anakin's—you didn't need meditation to see his thoughts and feelings. It was as if his presence in the Force were shouting them at you, and they became difficult to ignore. As you catalogued his next moves, fighting hard, you felt his confidence falter, felt his surprise at your skill, felt his competitive urge to best you. You also felt other feelings come up in him, feelings you couldn't fully make sense of—part of him didn't want to be fighting you, that much you could intuit, but there was something else, something mystical. You felt a connection in his mind, a connection he had forged between you and his past, a time in his life when he felt more vulnerable. You looked into his eyes as he pushed his saber down toward yours, and you read all of this in his face, feeling his insecurity spike, his anger turn defiant.

         Without warning, he pushed his hand out, and you felt yourself fly backward, the tips of your toes skidding against the balcony's marble floor. This moment of surprise allowed Anakin to reach through the Force, pulling your lightsaber from your grasp. He stood, facing you, holding both lightsabers, his victorious expression clouded by something you couldn't fully discern.

         You stood in front of him, breathing heavily, looking at his celebratory smile. He had bested you. You quickly masked your feelings of frustration and anger, bowing to him gracefully. Inside, you were turning to fire. No youngling had ever outright beat you like this in combat. The feeling of losing, especially to Anakin, gave you a sour taste in your mouth, but you knew you mustn't allow yourself to give in to such immature shows of aggression.

         "Very good, both of you," Master Plo encouraged, and, having yielded, you walked to the side of the balcony to stand with the other younglings.

         "Y/N, wait," Anakin said to you, and you turned to look him in the face once again. "Your...your lightsaber," he said breathlessly, his bravado gone, his face earnest as he held your saber out for you to take. He looked as if he were trying to communicate something to you, but in your anger at having lost the sparring match, you ignored whatever it was. You took your lightsaber wordlessly and turned away from him, going to stand with your class.

         "Dallum, perhaps you would like to go next," Master Plo said, but before you could watch Dallum's reaction to this, you were distracted by a gentle hand on your shoulder. You turned.

         "Y/N, may I have a word with you?" Master Yuma Ohno asked you kindly, standing beside you. You looked up into her face, watched as her thick, heavy braids swayed as she moved, and nodded, your eyes wide. She gestured for you to follow her off of the balcony, and you obliged, feeling through the Force the curious presences of your classmates and Anakin's conflicted presence watching you as you exited.

         Back inside the hallway of the Temple, Master Yuma gestured for you to sit down on a bench, and you did, watching her sit down beside you. She had a gentle face, her soft features congruous with her dark skin, her large eyes a light amber brown. You'd come to know this face fairly well, but only in meditation, only in dreams. You looked up at her now, wondering why she had asked to speak to you.

         "You fight well, Y/N," she complimented, and you laced your eyebrows together in confusion.

         "But I lost," you said quietly, looking up at her. Master Yuma laughed.

         "No one can win every battle," she remarked, smiling down at your bemused expression. "What matters more is how we fight." You nodded, trying to make sense of this. "Do you know what I mean to ask you, Y/N?" Master Yuma inquired as you gazed up at her.

         "I am not certain," you responded, breathing deeply. "But I have seen your face before. Quite often, in meditation," you confessed. "I have tried not to puzzle too hard over the meaning of such visions." Master Yuma nodded.

         "That is wise," she reassured. "I, too, have seen your face, in meditation."

         "You have?" you asked her, looking up in wonder at the Jedi Knight sitting next to you. She nodded.

         "Though you fight well, I sense that combat is not your greatest gift, Y/N," Master Yuma said, and you held your breath, hanging on her every word. "I have heard from your instructors—and I have sensed, myself—that you have an uncanny ability to read others, through your use of the Force." You nodded. This was not a secret, and so admitting to this ability did not feel boastful, so much as truthful.

         "I, too, have a knack for intuiting others' thoughts and emotions," Master Yuma continued. "I have meditated on this, and I do believe I am certain it is the will of the Force. I would like for you to become my Padawan."

         "Really?" you asked her, complicated emotions running through you. You felt outward, felt Master Yuma's calming presence, and you believed that she might be right about the will of the life-force encircling you both. You couldn't think of a better master, and you were excited at the prospect of becoming a Padawan, but you also felt a sense of loss, of nostalgia. Being a youngling in the Temple was all you had known for over half your life. To leave that all behind, to begin anew, scared you as much as it invigorated you.

         "Really," Master Yuma answered, perceiving your varied reactions to this news. "I know that change can be difficult to embrace, Y/N. But I think you know this is the kind of change that should be met head on." She smiled at you, and you felt her reach out with the Force, showing you her feelings of calm, rightness, wisdom, and empathy for you and your feelings. "It is your choice, Y/N."

         You looked up into the beautiful face of your Master, her eyes slightly wrinkled at the sides as she smiled encouragingly at you, her thick braids with their golden rings adorning them framing her face. You smiled. You knew what you would choose.
