#ignore the snob trait i was playing w poses

[pinkfey]

woe charity be upon ye

ummmm char fax bc i can't keep the cringe at bay !!

i thought it would be fun to make her eyes brown since the whole game is like oughhhh iladrin ouwahhh glowy eyes so <3 brown eyes the most specialest eyes duh !! <33

um everything that’s on their tab on the oc page !! hunter-born, circle-trained, enchantment-favorer. they're v good at fucking around with the mind and they're even better at bewitching ppl and getting them to like her <33 she’s a bit of a siren of sorts?? she’s beautiful and enigmatic and she knows it (to a degree) so she excels at manipulating that strength to her advantage

but they’re also just naturally good with people!! they bleed compassion and they put people at ease—it’s easy to be soft with her, like how caine instantly latched onto her. she’s even convinced blade to let her cut his hair 🤯

she is. so fucking short. u would think having hunter heritage would gain them a few inches but alas.. watch out the 5’1” commander-legate of the shepherds is on her way and she is pissed 😤

(yes they are teased mercilessly for this)

(she does wear heeled boots to compensate and no she doesn't care that it’s impractical!!)

they and red did date bc i’m a sucker for the one-was-in-love-and-the-other-thought-it-was-amicably-casual dynamic <3 and i love DRAMA <3

she’s gone through quite a few character shifts to turn her into the person she is now. as a kid she was quiet and sort of a brat!! compassion was her earliest lesson, one she scorned until she lost everyone. survivors guilt is crazy. she became determined to be all the things she was supposed to be: kind, generous, brave, determined to live up to her namesake. but she was so scared. at the circle, she crumpled in on herself, reserved, tentative, always observing. the friendships she built there (plus her newfound love of academics!!) helped her get to a healthier place. she still chose her words wisely, still loved her alone time, but she was comfortable with curveballs, with people, with playfulness. she adapted a very positive attitude and work ethic!! she never gave up on any pursuit!! she thought she was very ready for the real world when she left

she was wrong <3 lmao. the world is cruel and it tore her down and she spent years on the edge of disappearance, years wondering if this is all there is. she got tattoos, pierced her ears, battled some substances, fell in with the few bad crowds, but nothing satisfied and nihilism was beginning to wear her softness to the bone. her village long gone and shame preventing her from returning to the circle, haven was supposed to have what she’d been longing for since childhood: community. acceptance. lucky her !!

she loves rlly feminine things!! makeup and intricate hairstyles and laced boots and the like. she cannot be trusted to spend money responsibly when she sees a pretty trinket

they love children and want some of their own one day so badly. does this have to do with her incessant ache for family and the ghost of thirteen year old zori haunting their brain at all times.. yes 😔

she also loves FREAKS ❤️ mekduk, mirmir, blade—she practically collects strays

her tattoos are a bit random and nonsensical. they’re just.. things she loves!! things she wants to be defined by!! marigolds because she was born in spring, an apple because the smell reminds them of maj, an eye with a heart-shaped pupil indicative of their gift, a sparkly book because she and red shared their best memories tucked away in the library, et cetera et cetera!!

their besties are briony, chase, red and lavinet in that order. briony is an instant friend they’re such goons together, she and chase have a strange back-and-forth and she’s more comfortable telling him certain secrets than she is red (surprisingly), and she and red (after overcoming a certain hurdle) are able to fall back into their easy affectionate dynamic from when they were kids !! lavinet adored her from the get go and their shared interests just made them click 👯‍♀️

in this universe everyone is at least a little bit in love with them because they deserve a little obsession!! as a treat!! most in love to least in love: blade > briony > ayla > red > trouble > shery > tallys > chase > lavinet > halek. riel excluded but he loves her in his own way. yeah the three initial shepherds all catch varying degrees of feelings at the same time. that’s just the way it is.

they and chase actually.. contemplated fwb but decided it would never work, which is (shockingly) what brought them closer together as friends and why she prefers going to him for certain issues. there's a unique understanding between them that she doesn't have with anyone else. to the two of them, secrets are their love language

her whole theme is compassion as a chest wound !! literally the motto i created them around. but their two other biggest traits are her liveliness and will. like they’re kind of a cringefail loser at times but despite that she never ever ever gives up. a bit stubborn? sure. but wholly earnest bc tbh that’s the most endearing trait a hero can have 🤧 she’ll push through anything and everything

i eventually want them to cut their hair into a bob. why?? bc it would be cute w their streaks of white. lich rally no other reason. how cute would she be?? so cute.

also charity is probably (???) not her real name !! it’s like a tiefling virtue name <33

if u read any of this ilysm bc i don’t know what i wrote i’m just talking 💕
