5,7,9,15,21,22,27 and 30 for Charlotte, Aiko and Rowena đź
Ahhhh, more of my girlies!! I haven't gotten to think on things for Aiko especially in forever, this will be so much fun!!! ;w;
Given the questions, the girls will mostly be answering for themselves and this will get pretty long. Also, assume a lot of these are answered after most respective main story events lol
5. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?
None of them are inherently ones for speeches, but here's some that I think they might give, though they're all on the informal side:
Rowena: "'Tis true that we're both stuck in this dying world. But does that really mean we have to forsake everything we hold dear? I think not. There are still things to hope for, souls to treasure. You speak truth, acknowledging the cruelty all around us. I, however, stand in defiance of that cruelty. It is the sole way I can continue to live. I only hope you join me in that endeavor."
Aiko: "War does not come to your doorstep and ask to be invited in. It tears down every barrier and cares little if you fall victim to its destruction. You never asked for any of this. Carrying on as if you did is doing you no favors. Stop acting as if you have something to prove to me. Be honest. I refuse to be kept in the shadows in the name of safety."
Charlotte: "How could you possibly know what true despair feels like? You lose once and you think you know it all? You haven't even scratched the surface. While humanity suffered an endless war, you and your heavenly Father sat on high and watched us BURN. Countless people I LOVED could have been saved if someone, ANYONE in Heaven bothered to care. But we weren't good enough to save, were we? Just little living toys for the Father that he could banish out of sight. And now, only now, you expect me to feel sympathy? After everything God, Heaven, YOU, have done?? You don't know SHIT about suffering! It's about fucking time something taught you what it's like!"
7. Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
How I describe Rowena: Selfless, stubborn, bouncy
How Rowena describes herself: "Um...I suppose...thoughtful, considerate, attentive? It's better to ask someone else how they see me."
How I describe Aiko: Gentle, thoughtful, witty
How Aiko describes herself: "Quiet...uninteresting, and small. I know what I am."
How I describe Charlotte: Passionate, kind, fierce
How Charlotte describes herself: "Stubborn, tiring, but also fun, I guess. I dunno, people liked me way back when, and the sinners and some machines like me well enough."
9. Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, booksâŚ)?
Rowena: "I hardly let my little bird doll out of sight as a child. It went on every little adventure with me, and I felt terrible if it fell down or got dirty. Father also taught me how to care for various plants and how they like to hear people talk to them. I still sing songs to them sometimes. Don't tell Ornstein, though, I will simply perish if he finds out."
Aiko: "Every piece of nature is alive to me. I love chatting with the flowers! We have such riveting conversations, though they're a little one-sided. I even feel awful if a blanket is out of place and apologize to it as I'm setting it back. I'm sure that's been overheard more than once."
Charlotte: "Hasn't been a single day where I didn't. Books have always been like second pets to me, my dad was a florist, and my mom taught me to care for musical instruments like pedigree dogs. Is anyone really surprised that I befriended machines, sentient or otherwise?"
15. What would they consider a waste of timeâ other than school or work?
Rowena: "Cooking. I'm alright at the task, but can't it just be ready for me to eat in an instant? The whole process is laborious. Not that I get too hungry these days, being Undead, but the pang still hits me from time to time, and oftentimes I ignore it because of the work involved in solving the issue. I'll risk foraging strange berries over cooking anything. This might explain a few of my deaths."
Aiko: "Cruelty for the sake of it. Why travel down such a path when it's much easier to be kind in most instances? Oh, and fishing. You would think I'd be neutral on the task, but I find it boring and leave it to much more skilled people than myself. They can do that while I gather safe fruits and vegetables. I think that's a fair tradeoff."
Charlotte: "Religion. It was just a personal opinion before, but with everything I've experienced, it's only confirmed my 'heretical' belief system. Why waste time praying to a god that never wanted to listen to us, anyway? I'll put faith in myself long before I ever give that bastard a second thought again."
21. What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?
Rowena: "This is a bit tricky, given my circumstances. I suppose wanton cruelty towards others. If there isn't a blatant reason for clashing with someone, my partner had best have a damn good one to explain going for a person's throat in the first place. Luckily, in Lordran, there's usually a very good reason for such actions."
Aiko: "Animal slaughter with no purpose. Killing an animal to survive, feed and clothe yourself and others, is one thing, but killing a creature for fun? This I can never accept. Call it childish, if you like, but I grew up loving every animal of Tsushima. Unless I need to, I can't imagine myself hurting them, and neither should my partner."
Charlotte: "I used to be able to say 'trying to kill me', but uh..." She gestures towards herself, then gestures somewhere vaguely out of view. "That's already happened a few times." She sighs. "Look, it's complicated, okay? I'm not claiming any of this makes sense, and I'm probably more confused on this whole issue than you are. Besides, that's not happening anymore, obviously. Fuck, I sound insane." She blows some hair out of her face. "But barring that...I guess turning their back on me. Already been fucked over in that regard multiple times in my life. I'm not gonna put up with that from someone that's supposed to be supporting me."
22. Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? Whatâs their go-to?
Rowena: "Oh, um..." She blushes a little. "Gods, I wasn't prepared for this question. But...yes. Pet names are endearing, especially when they get a bit creative. I've been called "sparrow" for most of my life, and that is one pet name that seems to have carried over to the present. Ornstein likes to see how I react to it." She rolls her eyes, then grins. "It's fine, though. The man's stoic exterior collapses the second I call him 'love' or 'my sunlight', so I think we're evenly matched."
Aiko: "Yes!!" She claps her hands, giggling a little. "I adore pet names. Mother and father always compared me to a fox, but Ryuzo calls me his little kitten. He says it's because I'm always sneaking in places I shouldn't be." She makes a face. "It's only partially true! Anyway, I like calling him Ryu. He stops in place whenever I do that. I really need to think of some more for him, just to see what happens..."
Charlotte: "Do I have to answer this question?" She grumbles under her breath, her face flushing pink. "I never asked for them, if that's what you mean. Mom liked calling me 'colibri'. French for 'hummingbird'. Dad called me 'katydid'. Either way, I didn't escape the speedy creature allegations." She hides part of her face with one hand. "...Gabe got attached to calling me 'hummingbird'. Of course he did. He claims it's only natural because of my mechanical wings, but I think he likes seeing me stumble a little. Maybe for old times' sake." She looks off to the side and smiles a little. "It's...kind of nice, though. Makes it even better when I can get him back with something equally stumble-worthy. 'Dove' was a no-brainer, but ever seen an archangel short circuit over a name? That's quality entertainment." She lowers her voice, her face flushing again. "And pretty damn cute but shhh-"
27. Forgiveness or vengeance (orâŚ)?
Rowena: "I strive for forgiveness. But where that won't do, vengeance will suffice in its place. It all depends on the situation."
Aiko: "Forgiveness. I don't have much room for vengeance in my heart. It would take a dire situation to push me towards it. Some say I forgive too much. Perhaps they're right, but this is the way I am."
Charlotte: "Dad taught me forgiveness. Mom taught me vengeance. Lately, I'm leaning towards the latter. Mainly if I ever meet the person that made me a cyborg. Or God. Or any other angels that get ideas about fighting me. Either way, they're getting shot in the face."
30. What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?
Rowena: "I would do everything in my power to ensure the other Knights of Gwyn survived as long as Ornstein has. Even if that meant changing the course of time. It would likely cause more suffering, but...my heart aches for him. They were truly his close friends, lost to tragedy. If I could ease that burden without suffering the consequences, I would allow Manus to snatch me thousands of times over until I got it right."
Aiko: "Overturn the Shogunate." She glances around a little. "I don't speak on it much for obvious reasons, but the samurai are not as pure and honorable as they parade themselves to be. Lower classes often suffer because of them. It's one thing I wish I could do, if only to put everyone on equal footing for once. But that would never be forgiven, in this lifetime or the next."
Charlotte: "Thin out Heaven's ranks before they got ideas." She raises an eyebrow. "I wouldn't kill all of them. Don't let Gabe give you that impression. Just enough to send a message from the kind they tried to oppress. So much could have been avoided if I were allowed to do it, but instead I had to scramble for my life while they hunted me down through Hell. Not exactly what I'd call a good time."

Happy Halloween Shana! Would really be interested to see Sirius and Mollys conversation at the black house during Phoenixes dont take orders in Siat đ Otherwise gimme your fave rare pair <3
When Dean filches his brother's address from the registrar's office, he thinks it has to be a mistake. Sam couldn't afford to live here if he sold both kidneys. He couldn't afford to live here if he had a fucking kidney selling side hustle.
Breaking into this place is out of the question, so instead of sneaking in during the middle of the night, he shows up bright and early and gives the doorman his most charming grin. "I'm here for Sam Winchester."
"Is he expecting you?" he asks, bored.
Dean's smile doesn't dim. "Not exactly. I'm his brother."
That gets some life in the doorman's eyes and he checks his computer. "Dean Winchester?"
What the fuck. Apparently Sam does live here. "Got it in one."
"Right this way, sir," he says gesturing to an elevator with no buttons that opens for him. "It will take you directly to the penthouse."
The penthouse? The penthouse?
He'd going to get Sam to help him find Dad, but first things first he's going to shake Sam until some answers fall out, because what the hell.
He takes the elevator up and walks cautiously into some sort of entry room. He has to resist the urge to walk though gun first, the place all smooth lines and chrome and dark colors. It's freaking him out.
The kitchen is even more chrome and black cabinets and black tiled floors, but there's also his little brother, standing there shirtless in black silk pants and fiddling with what he thinks is an espresso machine. "Sam?"
He turns quickly, eyes widening in surprise. "Dean? What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" he scoffs. "What are you doing here?"
Sam stares. "I... live here?"
"Here?" he repeats. "Here?"
His little brother is rolling his eyes, as if he's the one being ridiculous and not perfectly reasonable.
There's the sound of someone walking and an admittedly drop dead gorgeous red head turns the corner, a black silk robe open and revealing matching lace panties and bra. She gasps, fluttering her hands over her mass of curly hair. "Oh, Samuel! You didn't tell me we had company!"
She doesn't make any effort to close her robe.
Sam rolls his eyes. "As if you didn't know he was coming. You should have told me we were having company."
"Yes, well, where's the fun in that?" she asks, grinning as she crosses the room over to Sam. She's so short that Sam has to practically bend in half to kiss her, and woah, what the hell?
Sure, she's hot, but she's a least a decade older than Sam. Probably closer to two. What the hell is going on here?
"Dean," Sam says, his hand on her waist. "This is my girlfriend, Rowena."
#sam: do not tell my brother you're a witch i don't want to deal with the freak out#rowena: you are no fun whatsover#like sure she's a little evil and she only started messing with sam because he was young and hot and she's easily distracted but whatever#next thing she knows she's stopped torturing people and is just getting ate out on the daily#amazing what that does for the mood#sam should have been a witch and they should have fucked !!#anyway when azazel tries to burn her alive on the ceiling she squishes him like a bug#prompt answers#prompts are closed#asks#anon#supernatural

Iâm not a Drowley shipper really, but Iâm a BIG fan of them being exes. And the way that Crowleyâs character shifts so significantly following his and Deanâs summer of love is so fucking insane. Like, they literally made that part of the plot???? That is not even subtext? They call it the summer of love and they start acting like gay exes who arenât entirely over it but know that if they canât be chill then every party they go to for the rest of their lives will be awkward. And the way they have a soft spot for each other still and know each other too well even after theyâve stopped actively going out. Exes Drowley my beloved
#Just rewatched Stuck in the Middle (with you) and itâs insane#friends who say ânoâ as theyâre doing the thing you ask are the best#Crowley fucking off and Dean thinking heâs left but he actually went to beg someone more powerful than him to not kill his friends#and the difference in S10 between how Sam and Rowena talk about Crowley vs how Dean treats Crowley#they totally fucked and it was messy#insanity#spn#supernatural#drowley#Dean/Crowley#crowley/dean#crowley macleod#dean winchester

Something something Crowley and Rowena parallels, like mother like son. Cycle of trauma. Losing the one thing they still hold dear. Being proven that they can still care and love again, theyâre scared of it but they canât run from it. Trying so hard to become something thatâs not meant for them and eventually giving up in the sense that they realize maybe thatâs not what they wanted in the first place, only for it to be too late. But they both become what theyâre meant to be even though neither really gets what they want. Also theyâre both incredibly cunty and manipulative in a fun way. Theyâre tragic but also comedic relief somehow and I ate it up.
#I mean Crowley was fun from the start#but I only really got obsessed when Rowena showed up#theyâre foils#Crowley hated her for what she did and then became just like her#they try so hard to kill each other but itâs also not a thing that they actually want#they strive for power and search for loyal subjects but when they get it they discard it easily#because what they really want is community. partnership. friendship. family. safety.#and once they realize that they sacrifice themselves for it so they never really get to have it#Iâm sure I couldâve made this post better but alas the brain worms need to be released into the wild right now#crowley#fergus macleod#rowena#rowena macleod#spn#supernatural#mine#supernatural spoilers#crowley spn#crowley supernatural

I literally don't care about Dean teaching Jack how to drive&fish but I absolutely need a fic with Sam, Rowena and Cas going to meet the shaman Sergei who was recommended by none other than Ketch. Cas huffs and puffs about it for the whole drive, Rowena complains about Sam driving too slow and Sam thinks about driving them all into a cliff, the thought of dying Jack is the only thing keeping them all alive. What's even worse? The ride back home. With Sergei. Level of "I'd rather be in the pit of hell than in this car with you all" over nine thousand. It's, again, the thought of a dying Jack that keeps them all safe from eternal damnation because these people would otherwise Commit Crimes&Sacrileges.
#sam. rowena and cas on a case would be the best and the worst thing ever happened in the hunting world#together they're one step from collapsing civilization as we know it.#they're all different kinds of nerds and they each think they are the most right#also? stop trying to make ketch happen. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.#in michael scott's voice: this is the worst#fic ideas#supernatural#spn#castiel#sam winchester#rowena macleod#sergei spn#unhuman nature#but make it better#the pain of loving fanfiction but not carin enough about romantic relationships and sex#like yes okay it's cool. give me that. but alsooooo. there are so many cool things to writeeeee#i guess i need to start publishing my own stuff and stop whining. people writing fanfic you're the coolest and i love yoj#*you#it's just a me problem#q

do you guys think the writers would have taken it more seriously if it had been alastair around relentlessly tormenting dean in late seasons as opposed to lucifer with sam
#i'm just thinking#like obviously late seasons writers tend to be inconsistent with handling trauma in any case but#like when dean first came back from hell we actually spent a lot of time with it#and with sam yeah we had his hallucinations but late seasons when lucifer is a problem again we only really get like#sam talking abt his trauma with rowena once#and this isn't meant to be dean critical like it's not his fault the writers gloss over how they've put sam into a horror show all alone#i just know dean gets more attention than sam does late seasons and i'm wondering if ppl would've been more willing to deal w it#but also the thought of alastair being around late seasons haunting dean in the way lucifer does sam is kind of awesome#alastair possessing someone in the bunker hmmmmmmmmm#PLEASE add onto this with any thoughts on alastair being around late seasons omg#alastair reviving dean like how lucifer revived sam in beat the devil?#idk alastair was always so much cooler to me than lucifer was maybe thats why my brain is obsessed with this now#i guess maybe like. you could do this same thing with michael. but alastair just seems more interesting to think abt#and amara was around too i guess#but. idk let me have this#anyway#spn#supernatural#sam winchester#dean winchester#alastair spn#lucifer spn

I know basically nothing about rowena, but I now finally get what people mean about shipping things aesthetically. because what do you MEAN love of my life sam winchester, 6â4, deeply damaged but lovely straight white dude-man, has a cute, interesting and disgustingly tragic relationship with A TINY GINGER SCOTTISH WITCH WHOâS THE MOTHER OF A RECURRING VILLAIN AND PLAYED BY AN ACTRESS WHOâS OLDER THAN HIM????? WHAT??? I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW
like what is this. I love it. Iâm obsessed. enemies to friends to lovers, height difference, age difference, and just generally UNCONVENTIONAL AS FUCK for a straight ship??? spectacular gimme fourteen of em right now
#I have a real thing about older women / mothers being put in situations reserved traditionally for young conventionally attractive women.#donât get me wrong ruth connell is GORGEOUS but like do you know what I mean?? I just love it so much#give me middle aged woman yuri or a mum as the main character or in this case a mum shipped with the conventional white boy lead#and I will EAT. IT. UP.#BRO IS NOT NORMAL ABOUT THAT MARGINALLY OLDER WOMAN!!#anyway point is Iâm excited to get to her in the show :3 I fear I will love them extremely dearly#spn#supernatural#sam winchester#rowena macleod#samwena#sam x rowena#also sam is my favourite character and I donât personally see him as any flavour of queer but I want someone interesting to ship him with#as hard as I ship dean with cas and with benny#like I need the same level of insanity about it and the canon (and non canon tbh) sam ships currently just donât do that for me at all#so yeah Iâm very excited for samwena :3

the s10 cas and crowley dynamic is so funny to me crowley's like yeah this is rowena she's my mom she abandoned me when i was 8 and left to raise another kid that wasn't even hers. it's kind of the root of all of my trust issues and even now after 400 years i still haven't gotten over it. and cas, who only just got on good terms with crowley after years of them trying to kill each other and never even had a mom is like. im.... sorryđ§ââď¸
#BUT LIKE. HE DOES ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE HE FEELS BAD FOR HIM IS THE THING. like it's genuine i think he just got caught off guard#supernatural#spn#crowley spn#crowley macleod#rowena macleod#castiel#crowstiel#the pig squeals

1 for Rowena, 3 for Chris and 7 for Sybil.
OOH, these are good!!
Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, whoâs the favorite?
Rowena used to have a little bird doll she slept with when she was a child! It was based off of a kind of bird that would visit her parents' home. Her mother saw that she adored the bird so much and would always get so sad when it left, so Rowena's mom made her the bird doll so she could hang out with it whenever she wanted! Many a night she was caught sleeping with it, even as she grew older.
The doll's lost to time now, but she still thinks on it fondly ;w;
3. Ask them to describe their love interest.
Not gonna lie, I cackled when I saw this one was for Chris. Let's see what Miss Wint can come up with, shall we?
"Well...I don't think you'll believe me, but I'll try. He has hair and eyes the color of fire. The stare matches the color, as if his gaze could burn a hole through your soul. But he's not unkind...to me, anyway. It can be a bit of a gamble with other people. He's quite a busy man, you see, leading an entire city, and I can understand not having the time or patience for every person that crosses his path. Still, he could stand to have a bit more patience. It's not exactly his strongest attribute. He's gotten a bit better with some chiding, but don't tell him I said that.
Really, though, he's not...all bad. He's had his missteps, but there's so much kindness buried under that cold, tired stare. Sadly, you have to get it out of him with a pick axe. ...I'm not making him sound that appealing, am I? Gods, if I had time to write this down it would sound so much better. But rest assured, he's much less ruthless than he used to be. That...also doesn't sound good. I should stop while I'm ahead."
She tried lmao
7. Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
How I would describe Sibyl: Intelligent, witty, compassionate
How Sibyl would describe herself: "Don't do this to me. Um...alright. Well-read, clumsy, boring. Don't give me that look, it's the truth!"
We'll work on the self-esteem bit sdxgdskg
#chris's ramblings#oc asks#just rowena things#just sibyl things#thanks for the ask! these were super fun X3

there's like an spn fan at my uni who lives in my student accom bulding, who is dating someone whose insta handle has the name Rowena in it. which i find very very amusing. and the only reason ik they're an spn fan is bc i was waiting for the bus one day and I saw them at the bus stop and they were wearing a supernatural shirt and it scared me so much i didn't get on the same bus with them and instead went to uni super late. also I'm like 80% sure I've seen them in a photo op on the internet idk. anyway saw them in the elevator the other day and I was this close to playing carry on my wayward son on my phone just to see how they'd react. like why is my first instinct to inflict psychic damage on this person. i just might do it if this happens again. rip man I'm sorry but I'm AWKWARD AND EVIL
#the easy thing to do. will be like. heyyyy omg i just noticed you tagged someone named rowena haha thats a character i like#and then become supernatural friends or enemies. depending on their opinions and such#but instead I'm doing stupid atuff#personal

Basically, the Samwena of it all is something like:
SAM takes her prisoner, throws his weight away, and makes weird demands surrounding her power.
It's almost like his character in Peace of Mind, if you think too hard about it, lol:
///
But here's the twist. Rowena also is a goddamned piece of work:
*Demon talks about equal work, equal pay* ROWENA SNORTS & says "Tear the man in half!"
///
RE: power
Samwena is also this:
ROWENA (s10): An angel of the Lord, the King of Hell, more power than I could possibly dream of, utterly wastedâ
&
SAM (s14, to Chuck): Then why don't you do something? If I had your powerâ
#samwena things#and see that's the thing isn't it#sam and rowena are DIFFERENT PEOPLE#where eileen lives in this weird nebulous nick-the-siren zone#a figmentary HEY YOU'RE *JUST* LIKE ME kind of relationship - a lawyer with a similar backstory and life trajectory#eileen is sort of sam's immature idea of love - a someone in the life - a someone who likes what I like - a someone who is a combination...#...of all things familiar and comfortable in my life#holy hell#eileen is of the nick the siren variety isn't she actually - oh noooooo#that's why she feels so forced god fucking dammit#eileen doesn't let sam down... and rowena does#eileen is what sam THINKS he should want (a badass hunter) and rowena is what he ACTUALLY wants (a nerdy witch)#Sigh...#figmentary apple pie always-and-never figures things that never let me down etc etc#sam oh sam

i may be obsessed.
#her name is tenka but everyone calls her brandy#(warden nickname she earned in her early days due her unbreakable record of being able to drink ANYONE under the table)#her mother was banished from orzammar when she fell pregnant with her (long story very sad and dramatic and lowkey personal)#and while she was pregnant she was cared for and eventually fell in love with a gentle blacksmith from a small ferelden village#who her mother married (taking his surname) and who raised tenka as his daughter#she was a young child during the fifth blight and their village survived unscathed w the exception of some food shortages and trade issues#nothing life shattering#but she had heard of the darkspawn from her mother's stories about their family's history and they were her boogeymen#her monsters under the bed#but her parents reminded her she's smaller than all the other children and that's her strength. she's brilliant at hide and seek.#the darkspawn didn't come during the apex of the fifth blight but after#some lone grey warden had been staying at the inn that weekend. said something about looking for someone#now when the darkspawn came tenka Hid. her father was outside. her mother had already gone to the market. it was still morning#they said they wouldn't get in the house. it got very loud and then very quiet. and they got in.#she burst from the cupboard and ran to her father's smithy but she was only a child and when a darkspawn axe raked her back she collapsed#into the rack of blades she had been reaching for. these were her monsters and she was bleeding so much and her parents were missing#and she was so scared so so so scared. between fight and flight it was always flight and she had nowhere left to fly to#another graze of the blade across her chest as she scampered back made her scream and that's when she saw rowena#her uncles and cousins from her mother's stories never felt like heroes due to what they did to her mother but when she saw rowena hack#down her monsters piercing through them valiantly like light through the crack in her dark bedroom door#with her mother and father right behind completely safe and sobbing and relieved and Alive#she had never looked up to someone more#see rowena got a lot of things wrong but brandy is exactly what she got right#only two villagers died. farmers. it had been but a small darkspawn raid. but she saved a girl. saved a family. saved a town.#rowena stayed in town while tenka recovered (most likely to ensure she didn't contract the blight) and tenka adored her every move#she knows nothing of rowena's struggles. knows nothing of rowena's missteps. nothing of the constant reminder of mortality in her head#just that she's her hero. just that she wants to be exactly like her.#she joined the wardens young with a kiss to her parents goodbye and never looked back even when it turned out to be harder#in ways she'd never imagined. but she was immovable. a force of will. she was dauntless and daring and it was her idolization of rowena#that inspired her and kept her going. where other wardens cracked no amount of hardship could break her. it was almost Smug
