[official-kenralie-fanbase]

can’t remember if i asked you this yet but Clarette and Noland?

I was just looking into Clarette for the most recent chapter of my fic :D So this is perfect timing

It's also kind of funny that you ask for both of them at once bc I actually think of them as friends

Clarette:

Clarette is one of the longer-serving Councillors.

She's not very close to being an Ancient, but she's been on the Council for a very long time and knows how things work.

She assumes a very dignified persona, but her fellow Councillors know that she knows how to have fun

She manifested as a Flasher when she was pretty young, 12 or 13, and wasn't terribly good at it

So when she manifested again as a Polyglot at 15, she was excited to start over and really dive into an ability she could be really good at

She'd always been fascinated by different languages and species, especially animals, so she was thrilled that she got to speak with them

Her parents, similar to Grady and Edaline, ran an animal preserve, although theirs was less about rehabilitating animals and more about research/breeding

So she's been an animal person for a very long time and loves that she can talk to them

She was elected for her outreach to other species and her constant perseverance

She's pretty extroverted and friendly, and she trash-talks the other Councillors to the friends she still has from before she was elected

But she's always had a soft spot for Noland (classic extrovert adopts introvert type of friendship)

She's unsure how she feels about Sophie. Sometimes she supports her, and sometimes she sees her as a threat.

Noland:

Noland was a very quiet child born into a pretty loud family, so he often felt out of place

Especially when he manifested as a Vociferator

He always preferred to sit back and observe rather than take action, but his ability caused him to have to be loud

He went deaf in one ear when he manifested and has reduced hearing in the other; he can now read lips and is working on inventing a form of sign language

Noland thought he'd have to struggle for control of his ability his whole life

Especially since he was the second-ever Vociferator to ever manifest

But then his Mentor, the first Vociferator and an Ancient, showed him how to control his ability

He began to realize what potential it had.

Noland, who'd always been quiet and blending into the background, had an opportunity to be heard.

He still rarely uses his ability, but when he does, it makes a big impact.

Noland was elected for his kindness and meticulous work in revamping the Foxfire curriculum to help prodigies with rare abilities

He was intimidated by Clarette at first, but after they worked on a project together, he realized he liked working with her and they made a good team.

Noland did not like Sophie at first, too intimidated by all of the implications of her existence, but he's gradually grown to respect her

I couldn't put Kenric :(

[camelspit]

ive been curious about this for a bit now, since it seems like a lot of people have had one at some point lmao

[keefeclothesandcrisps]

The lowest voted councilor will be replaced with one of the two remaining councilors, and we will continue until we have one remaining

[bookwyrminspiration]

What kind of prom outfits do you think each of the Councillors would wear (also imagine that Foxfire has a prom type dance for the elite levels and the younger levels and since Foxfire is a noble school the council got stuck chaperoning the level 1-6s because they signed up on accident for the lower levels instead of the elite level chaperoning)

Oo that's an interesting thought! I hope the council has fun in their chaperoning :), they probably could pull rank and switch out, but I'm going to assume where they were chaperoning has already been shared and backing out would reflect poorly on them

I'm answering this assuming it's an elven prom, and that the council are all adult chaperones (as opposed to what they wore at their prom), and also not super acquainted with them so! if you have a different suggestion feel free

Alina: The most extravagant ballgown you've ever seen. No one understands how she can move in the thing, or how she's not swallowed whole. Huge skirt, so many jewels

Bronte: He doesn't dress up, he wears the same thing he does every day and scowls about the situation in a corner. Wants desperately to leave.

Clarette: Simple but chic. No layers or folds or ruffles, but perhaps a slit on one side. She doesn't want the excess fabric to get in the way. Nice accent jewelry to complement the simplicity.

Darek: He's got a typical suit situation going on. Likes to keep it simple so his outfits don't get in the way of his phasing. I don't know what color, though. Black? Tan? I just don't think he stands out

Emery: Dark suit-like ensemble, maybe in navy? I almost said green but that's the mourning color. He doesn't want to stand out, but wants to look professional. Nice embroidery on the cuffs and such

Liora: Incredibly flowy, bright colors. Patterns look good on her and she takes advantage of it. I don't know why but I feel like she'd wear sandals? Or at least very strappy shoes/heels?

Noland: The clothes themselves are simple, but he's got loud patterns that stand out, bright colors. Even so, he still spends most of his night away from everyone else.

Oralie: I'm thinkin something tulle, something that twirls. Off the shoulder effortless style, you know? Of course it's in pink. Like this

Ramira: Something fitted, perhaps? Not skin-tight necessarily, but closer to that. Maybe a nice silver to blend in more and avoid attention, but I could also see a golden tone working really well for her. Looser bracelets/necklaces to offset the tightness of the outfit?

Terik: I think he'd be comfortable going a little more casual, so not a full out suit, but just dressed up a little. Fancier embroidery on his jerkin, a nicer pair of pants. Perhaps a fancier cane, too?

Velia: Fitted towards the top, flows at the bottom. Dark coloring. Makes it look like she's floating wherever she goes, mysterious vibe to her. A statement necklace.

Zarina: Whatever it it's, it's made of that satin-like off-white cream fabric that looks super smooth and shiny, almost reflective. Maybe with a gradient to a light blue. Feel like she'd have fancy sleeves, but nothing delicate. Everything is sturdy and durable

These are just ideas off the top of my head based on what I have to work with (which isn't much), so don't take these too seriously! There's some reasoning to them, but not a lot! it's also pretty canon typical, but if you like headcanons feel free!

[the-great-gullon-incident]

Do you have any kotlc actor au headcannons for the council? Also I love the au!!

Oralie’s hair is naturally straight and has to re-curl it every day

Kenrick and Bronte’s butts hurt after filming every tribunal scene because their chairs are super uncomfortable.

Most of the side councilors all have wild headcannons about their characters and enjoy discussing these headcannons with other people

Terik is the oldest and Clarette’s the youngest with a 12 year age difference

Zarina bleached her hair for the role.

Velia is partially deaf and uses hearing aids off camera

Liora, Terik, Kenric, and Clarette are the only council members to not have kids.

Derek consistently trips on his cape

Oralie swears like a sailor off camera

Bronte was a child actor

Clarette is a famous singer

Oralie and Bronte are the only ones with naturally blue eyes.

Everyone else has to wear colored contacts

Ramina works in mostly action films

KotLC OC tournament info post - 18/24

Ariadne Varil

Name: Ariadne Varil

Species: Elf

Gender/Pronouns: she/her

Creator: Swan @an-ungraceful-swan

Short desc: Ariadne is a former/partially retired Council informant who grew up as part of the nobility. After going to exillium on an assignment as a coach she fell for an actual coach. Ensue a messy breakup as her intentions are revealed which she’s still not over

Backstory: Ariadne Varil was born into a lower noble family, as the middle of her siblings, never quite old enough to run with her older sister’s friends, most of whom were in the elite levels by the time she started tutoring, and too reserved to ever really fall in with her brother’s friends, all of whom were menaces in their own right, despite being only a year younger than her. She manifested quite young as a flasher, though never had much talent in her ability and excelled more in her other classes and areas of study. Her father was a low ranking regent, but his meager connections were enough to get her an internship type job going into the elite levels, working under the then Emissary Clarette.

As her education became more focused, she took more classes focused on politics and history, and had quite an affinity for seeing through the glitz and glamor in the upper echelons of the elven world and being able to analyze what it was and understand people’s positions. When she graduated she officially became an assistant to an older Emissary, one who’d long since established himself at the crux of Elven politics, though continued discrete communication and under the table work for Clarrette. She was never especially close with her family, and moved to an apartment in Atlantis nearly immediately after graduating. Her matching was handled as a quiet affair, she simply got her list, sat down for dinner with the eligible suitors, and talked it through with them. She never saw it as anything other than a necessary part of maintaining her status among the nobility and blending into the masses, and made that fact quite clear to her potential spouses. She eventually married her husband, though they continued living separately, leading their own lives and really only presenting as a couple when strictly necessary, especially for the first hundred years or so of their marriage. They each had their own aspirations and affiliations, and that was quite enough for them.

She was just over 200 years old when Clarette became a councillor, and she had been serving as a regent for some time. Her role got elevated to that of an Emissary and she was trusted with her first more important project than simply passing along the little whispers she could scrounge up. Without any official ways to keep track of elves that had either left or been banished from larger society, she went simply to gather information in one of the larger communities, posing as someone who had become disillusioned with the Lost Cities and couldn’t “stay in their crystal palaces” anymore. The plan had been to stay for a century, long enough to engrain herself and pass along valuable information, but it got cut short when her cover was blown less than halfway through her assignment. She managed to get out and return home, but not before picking up some rather obvious scarring. Ariadne moved in with her husband for the first extended period of time, and took quite a bit of time to herself, recuperating on her new estate that she’d been absent from up until that point. She was a bit conflicted, after all despite her unfortunate parting spending time away from the Lost Cities had been eye opening to her and it was odd being back without anyone to really talk about what she’d seen. It’s why when she was presented with the opportunity to work on another longer term mission, this time based in Exilium, she agreed, becoming one of the coaches of the program. There she met fellow Coach Nikola, and took an immediate liking to her for how genuine she seemed. It was refreshing after her time spent back in elven upper society, and rarely did Niko ever mince her words or hide what she was feeling. Ariadne’s job at Exillium was simple, be eyes to report back anything that might be happening among the students and fit in as a coach, but growing closer to Niko she saw just how much the other coach cared about the kids, even if the culture of the program dissuaded her from showing it. Seeing someone with such passion for carving their own path against the grain, trying against all odds to do good, when Ari had simply been skating along and following orders her whole life, dealing with information she was rather detached from, it was a change, and a bit of a wake up call. She wasn’t really all that surprised as she developed feelings, she’d had feelings for colleagues and acquaintances before, but her marriage for the match and duty to her job had always prevented her from doing much more than acknowledging them. Here, under a name that wasn’t quite hers, with someone quite interested in holding her accountable, she had no such obligations, and fell into a relationship of sorts, even partially moving into Niko’s apartment after some time had passed.

Of course all things come to an end, and some of the students at Exilium had been not so discreetly planning some illegal activities as a way to get back to the council. It’d come to the coaches attention, and consensus lead by Niko was to let it diffuse naturally. Of course the kids were bound to be angry, but they were all talk and needed a place to vent their righteous frustration. Privately, Ariadne disagreed and after a bit of internal debate reported it up through her pipeline. It was dealt with by the proper authorities, resulting in punishments being meted out and the kids written off from most chances to rejoin the lost cities, but in the process Ariadne’s role in it was revealed and Nikola realized she had just been there as an informant and thus felt rightfully betrayed and angry. They had a singular blow up fight before Nikola resolved to icing Ariadne out, something that worked as Ariadne was back in the lost cities within the year. She now has whatever the elven spy equivalent of a desk job is, attending functions and keeping an ear to the ground, but otherwise has very little to do. Despite time having passed since, she’s quite conflicted about the whole thing, feeling just bad enough to have the seeds of discontent slowly sowed. Angsts about her estate, is rather dramatic with the whole situation and feels isolated at this point. She’s currently working as simply someone with her ear to the ground at galas and whatnot, the elven spy equivalent of a desk job, but is a bit resentful of the whole thing not quite sure how she feels about it all.

CHAPTER ONE

Sophie Foster had a book resting on her desk, and frankly, she wanted to use it.

To read? No, in her opinion, books were convenient weapons. Found in almost every classroom, they usually had a hard surface, and when that cover connected with a head? Man, it could cause some serious damage. And based on her partner’s childish behavior, she was sure a head as big as his could take a hit without being seriously injured.

“Can you just help me, please?” Sophie practically begged. She wanted this art project done as fast as possible, especially considering she was working with Foxfire Academy’s most famous prankster—Keefe Sencen. She opened her mouth to let out another frustrated comment but instead instinctively shied away as he stretched his arms out and placed them behind his head.

“No.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to.”

“When do you ever?”

“Only if there’s food involved. Ooh, how about my aid in exchange for marshmallows? I love those.” Sophie felt her face grow hotter as her partner shot her a smug grin and tapped his paintbrush against his lips.

Which was why when the art teacher turned her back on the students in her classroom to drone on about watercolor techniques, Sophie swiftly picked up her notebook and flung it at the boy sitting leisurely in the seat next to her. Heads turned and the two felt all eyes on them as they glared at one another furiously.

“Ow! What was that for?”

“For being an insufferable ass.”

“Miss Foster, I heard that!” Ms. Clarette whirled around, her gaze sweeping the room until it locked onto Sophie’s. “I don’t tolerate such language in my classroom. And books are for reading, not throwing. See me after class.”

Beside her, Sophie’s partner murmured, “‘Insufferable ass’? Really? You could’ve so much better—“

“You too, Mr. Sencen!”

Keefe Sencen threw his hands up in the air dramatically as Sophie scoffed.

“I’m the victim here, Ms. Clarette!” He exclaimed in anguish. But then he shot his partner a devilish grin, momentarily breaking his theatrical facade.

“If anyone, I’m the victim.” Sophie replied, disgusted. Ms. Clarette glanced at the clock and clapped her hands. “Dismissed!”

Everyone simultaneously jumped to their feet with their bags and filed out the door in a big messy clump. Unenthusiastically, Keefe and Sophie made their way to their teacher’s desk.

“Mr. Sencen,” Ms. Clarette started. “You know what our rules are. Give your best and—“

“Aid those who need it, blah, blah, blah. Yes, I know.”

“Still you refused to lend Miss Foster a hand when she was clearly struggling. I could give you a day of detention for your behavior—“

“Great! See ya, bye!”

“—But, I’d hate to see my best student wasting away in a classroom full of unruly delinquents.” Keefe’s chest ever so slightly puffed up in pride; it took all of Sophie’s strength to suppress her disbelieving scoff. Yet what Ms. Clarette said next had both their jaws slack in incredulousness.

“That’s why you’re going to be tutoring Miss Foster until the end of the term.”

A deafening silence entered the room like an elephant. “You’ve…you’ve got to be joking,” Sophie said, laughing. Her smile faded as Ms. Clarette’s shook her head, dead serious.

“If you don’t improve for the upcoming midterm, you’re going to fail the subject. I’m turn, that is going to directly affect your GPA.”

“As much as I hate how this is unfolding,” Keefe butted in. “She does have a point. Your artwork is—“

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence.”

“What? It’s true.”

“I’m assuming we have a deal?” Ms. Clarette confirmed, effectively breaking up the argument. Sophie nodded sullenly while Keefe shot her two finger guns.

“And, Sophie,“ The teacher gave her a pointed look. “You owe someone an apology.”

“Do I have to?”

“Unless you want me to extend those tutoring sessions to two terms…”

“Okay, fine!”

Feeling particularly petty, Sophie slung her backpack onto one shoulder and turned to face Keefe entirely. She was hit with a humorous (yet dangerous) glint dancing in his eyes, barely concealed. His weight one one leg, he leaned against Ms. Clarette’s desk with a cocked one eyebrow, amused and and waiting.

“I am so very sorry that your big head is a little too sensitive.” She said with an evil smile, savoring the pissed expression that slowly took over Keefe’s features. Brows furrowing, his lips twisted into a playful scowl. “My head is not big!”

“It is too.”

“Is not.”

“Is too.”

“Is not!”

“If you both could take this outside, I can head home and leave you two to your bickering.” Keefe and Sophie’s mouths’ snapped shut as Ms. Clarette got to her feet, ushering them both out the door and locking her classroom. And with a quick “goodbye”, she hurried down the hallway, her blood red heels clacking against the tiled floor.

“Sooo…I guess you’re stuck with me now!” Keefe said cheerfully, knowing it would irritate his tutee more than anything.

“Oh, don’t remind me!” She snapped back, just as expected. Keefe let himself grin uncontrollably; for some reason, getting under Sophie’s skin was indescribably delightful; she way her mouth would turn into a pout, how her right eyebrow always slanted just a bit more than the left when her face was twisted in anger and annoyance.

“Ready for the lesson then?”

“Just stop, will you?”

“Just to spite you, no.” Keefe crossed his arms and tilted his head up in a challenge. Sophie’s pale complexion turned pink.

“Keep this up and I'll hit you with a book again!”

“Ooh, feisty.”

“Keefe Sencen!”

Top 5 kotlc councillors?

ooh let’s see….

Emery. something about him just scratches a nice little itch in my brain.

Zarina. cool as hell ability (charger) and I admit I’m very curious about why she nearly resigned.

Bronte. grumpy elf man with one of the best character arcs in the series. what’s not to like?

Nolan. I feel like his ability as a vociferator could be really cool and would be fun to expand on in fan content.

Clarette. mostly I think she’s got good taste in gems (I love turquoise) and her ability to communicate with animals is also really neat!

[winwin17]

Controversial KOTLC content below!!

👇👇👇

I got to pondering the question of how I'd rank all the adult elves on the basis of physical beauty, from most to least (based on how I envision them - NOT necessarily ranked by who I like the most as a character). It was super hard, because there are so many good contenders!! But I got an approximate list anyway (one for the female elves, and one for the male elves). I'm sure I didn't include everybody, but I tried to focus on the main ones, at least.

So without further ado, my controversial rankings begin!

Women:

- Della

- Edaline

- Jolie

- Cyrah

- Alina

- Oralie

- Zarina

- Juline

- Liora

- Gisela

- Vespera

- Tinker

- Clarette

- Ramira

- Lady Cadence

- Velia

---

Men:

- Tiergan (duh)

- Grady

- Alden

- Fintan

- Kenric

- Prentice

- Magnate Leto

- Terik

- Alvar

- Gethen

- Cassius

- Noland

- Kesler

- Elwin

- Emery

- Bronte

- Darek

- Garwin Chang 😜

(Special note: I didn't include Brant because I didn't think it would quite be fair to evaluate him against the others, considering his partial disfigurement. But without that factor, I'd probably rank him after Grady but before Alden.)

What do you think? Let the controversy, arguments, and fistfights begin!
