#muse: pagan min

[general-kalani]

{ @kaiju-crimson-storyandask sent in; If ever there was a good time for Pagan Min to visit Hope County, this definitely wasn’t one of those. In the middle of a war, with two new threats causing a change in the already unbound chaos of this isolated land.

But, there were small pockets with relative peace. Even if that peace only existed thanks to traps set up by a child in one of them. Said child was already working on fixing one of them. Being watched carefully from a distance by her current caretaker.

Mama’s not here. Not yet. And “mom” looks like she’s already about to fall asleep thanks to said peace in the small area. }

There's an odd, bizarre peace to this place despite the war.

It was Kyrat all over again, if he wanted to compare. Fighting everywhere in the area, yet there were places you could sit and just enjoy.

He was getting used to talking to people again without the need to have such a horrid persona again. Used to talking and chatting about something as mundane as the sun and time of day it was.

He'd expected it to be easy, yet found himself struggling over it.

A challenge for sure, yet he was enjoying it.

Until he'd spotted the child, the potential mother nearby.

He couldn't just approach the child that was seen in such a negative light! So to the mother he went instead, making sure he made his presence known and giving a friendly little wave- he was picking up some habits from these people- "lovely morning to you madam! Lazy day is it?"

Might as well try an attempt at a joke, so far his different attire being so different from everyone elses has kept him alive... But a joke always helped break the ice even just a fraction.

[Pagan would definitely hire Melanie Rose ('How to build a sex room') to build him a sex room in his palace. I feel like they would get along greatly.]

Inspired by Vendetta, and my slow returning fixations on Far Cry and Cyberpunk, here is a brief overview of what the Far Cry muses do within the Cyberpunk universe.

Ajay Ghale: Born to Ishwari and Mohan Ghale, the founder of the Golden Path. When he was only three-years-old, Ajay’s mother fled with him to Night City and would reveal nothing to him of Kyrat, his father, or why she left. Ajay led a conflicted childhood and grew up causing plenty of trouble for himself and his mother. He eventually fell in with the wrong crowd and, during his teens, became caught up in a robbery gone wrong that resulted in a store clerk being shot to death. While Ajay was not directly responsible for the shooting, he turned himself in and bartered a deal with police — in exchange for no prison time, he provided the name of the person who pulled the trigger. As Ajay was turning his life around, he learnt that his mother was dying. The last lucid conversation they had was about Kyrat. Yet before Ajay could prepare to travel back home, he was reached out to by Pagan Min. He offered his condolensces regarding Ishwari’s death, remaining vague about how it was he knew the woman and of her death. Instead, he simply offered Ajay one thing: Work with him, and he would reveal all he knew about Ishwari and their past.

Bambi “Buck” Hughes: Formerly a member of the Australian military, Buck found himself turning to the solo lifestyle. Some days he was a hired merc. Others he was a stone-cold assassin. His reputation precedes him, as many of his contracts have accompanying XBDs to go with them… if you pay the right price. Buck’s brutality and efficiency caught the eyes of Hoyt Volker, who permanently contracted him as the manager of his more sinister operations. His task? Break in the merchandise.

Bembé Alvarez: An immigrant from Yara, Bembé found himself quite at home within Night City’s bustling streets. He took up most gigs slid his way without complaint, earning quite the reputation among Night City’s criminal underbelly as “efficient” and “thorough”. Sure, it only took a hell of a lot of manipulation on his part, but that was just the way things worked. He never lied to folk, just never quite told them the whole truth about the brevity of circumstance. Soon enough, Bembé became a Fixer, establishing a lengthy network across the city and across the border.

Charlemagne “Sharky” Victor Boshaw IV: Surprisingly, Sharky had quite the normal upbringing in Night City. Born to a family who didn’t quite want him, he did his best to scrape by with what he was handed. Unfortunately for everyone else, he made it their problem. Sharky built quite the reputation among the NCPD as a serial arsonist and pyromaniac, having set fire to numerous properties (some purposeful, some accidental) with his shenanigans. Eventually, this resulted in him gaining an outstanding warrant for his arrest that resulted in him ‘taking a vacation’ to The Badlands. He fell in line with a few different Nomad groups, never sticking around long and breaking things off amicably. If only the same could be said for his high school sweetheart. Sharky travels across the desert taking up any sort of gigs he can get his hands on, often favoring those handed down by Dakota.

Dani Rojas: Born and raised in Yara’s capital city, Dani was a firsthand witness to the tensions between the government and the country’s citizens. The conflict reached a point where upon reaching adulthood, there was no choice but to enlist with Yara’s military, the Fuerzas Nacionales de Defensa (FND), as such was required for all Yaran citizens. Not long after boot camp, Dani dropped out from service and found a way to flee the country, landing in Night City. Hoping it would be a safe haven, Dani, Lita, and Alejo attempted to start anew, only for the dream to crumble when the Unification War broke out. With Lita and Alejo caught in the crossfire, Dani went into hiding until the peace treaty was signed. It was around this time that he learned of Castillo’s role within BioTechnica, and realized that if he wanted to avenge his friends, he would have to go to the source of it all.

Gilberto Rosario (Rosa Mel Paquete): Gilberto grew up in a poor family alongside his parents on the outskirts of Night City, often not having much in regard to basic necessities. Both of his parents took on odd jobs for any sort of pay, and Gilberto tried to help where he could. He would help local farmers tend to their fields and transport animals. He would help the local doctors with cleaning their offices after cases with severe traumatic injuries. Anything he could do, he would do. However, in this time, Gilberto realized he had a passion for music. It began when he helped up-and-coming bands set up and take down equipment wherever they played, and has since developed into a form of flourishing self expression to deal with the stress of his family and lifestyle. Gilberto allied himself with the Moxes even before their formal formation, finding solace alongside the group. After the death of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Borden, Gilberto rallied under the Moxes banner and used his status as a drag performer to pass along intel from other gangs and corporations. Something of a spymaster, Gilberto has his eyes set on tearing down Night City one corrupt bastard at a time.

Hoyt Volker: Formerly aligned with a vast South African corporation (comparable to the likes of Militech in size, not function) due to his father’s position among the corporation’s executives, Hoyt has taken control of the remaining land along Morro Bay and its State Park, dubbing it the grounds of the Privateers. The Privateers are a gang consisting largely of former military professionals, including many from the likes of Militech after controversies of massacring innocent civilians came to light. His primary operations remain fairly the same: Drugs, Human Trafficking, and Weapons.

Jacob Seed: Troubled from the start, the eldest Seed brother served his fair share of time among Militech’s ranks. He was a key fighter in the Unification War, tossed around while drowning in a cocktail of chems to keep him awake and going at a moment’s notice. Jacob stood on the brink of cyberpsychosis numerous times, just pulled back by the crushing weight of reality. But this weight grew lighter and lighter. Lighter until he snapped and, in what he claims to be a moment of survival, desecrated the remains of his brother-in-arms to live another day. After his discharge from Militech, he became a ghost. A specter wandering Night City’s slums until his brothers found him and brought him back to life. He joined them in leaving the city for good, and makes sure to put his combat expertise to use in The Badlands.

Jason Brody: An aspiring techie from Watson, Jason found himself way in over his head. Living in the lap of luxury that he could not afford. His debts quickly caught up to him, and it resulted in his kidnapping and the tragic loss of both brothers. Grant was executed by the cyberpsycho Vaas, dragged out past the city walls in a grand display of authority. Riley was taken without a trace, imprisoned somewhere deep within the Pirates’ territory, where rumors are Jason’s only lead to finding him.

Deputy Joey Hudson: Returning to the force after a tragic run-in with a cyberpsycho, Joey Hudson works within NCPD’s ranks as a dedicated lieutenant. Her specialties place her on the outskirts of MaxTac’s jurisdiction, a point of connection for the psdueo-military sector and those tucked away in the pockets of the rich. While she has her qualms with the purchasability of NCPD’s higher officers, she voices no complaints, long as she makes it home at the end of the day.

John Seed: Once a bright-eyed boy, tragedy would separate John from his elder brothers and land him in the hands of the Duncans. His time with them was defined by punishment. By reverance for rejecting the “corporate standard”. Yet, John studied law. He flourished when he finally left their home, burying himself in the harsh neon glow of Corpo Plaza. Losing himself in the world of cybernetics and sex. It was on the streets where he found Joseph once again, and on those very streets that he turned his nose to the world that hoisted him up. With some convincing, he left behind the city of sin and aided Joseph in establishing Eden’s Gate.

Joseph Seed: Hailing from quaint suburbs which became targets during the Unification War, Joseph and his siblings traveled west to avoid the growing plague that was the corporate takeover. Town after town fell to the atrocities of NUSA’s top corps, and life had a funny way of pulling the family apart one by one. Joseph once wandered Night City’s streets as a preacher, warning citizens of the horrors of transhumanism and the corporate greed that blinded everybody to them. His beliefs would become the foundation for Eden’s Gate, a cult of followers dedicated in their aversion to cybernetics. Eventually, through trial by fire, the Seed brothers reunited and established their compound in The Badlands.

Juan Cortez: What began as a simple tale grew into something much bigger than expected. Born in Yara, Juan had a difficult upbringing with the growing political tensions the nation faced. Many locals in his neighborhood took up arms with guerrilla forces, and others stood by the side of the Yaran government and the Castillo family. Things reached a boiling point when a group of revolutionaries led by Santos Espinosa lead an intense revolution against the Yaran government, ultimately resulting in the death of President Gabriel Castillo. Only 10 at the time, Juan’s parents realized that their best bet would be to flee before things got worse. The Cortez family packed their things and vanished into the night, eventually stumbling onto the sandy shores of Miami, Florida. Juan did what he could to aid his family, and ultimately found himself working for the NUSA’s Central Intelligence office. He served as an eye on the inside during the Corporate War, embedded into enemy lines to relay information to the government. His efforts weren’t entirely as straightforward, as the information exchange often flowed both ways. When the war ended, Juan realized that the man who toppled his home country was a frequent flyer to Night City, and thus began Juan’s independent operation into taking down Antón while he had the chance.

María Marquessa: Right hand to the newfound CEO of BioTechnica, María lends her aid as the corporation’s head of marketing (and propaganda, though she won’t go on record to call it such). María handles the corporation’s public relations, and assures the citizens of Night City that nothing can go wrong, so long as they place their trust in Castillo’s leadership. Behind the scenes, there’s another side to María. A vulnerable side hidden away from public eyes, where she dotes their son and attempts to stroke the simmering flames between herself and Antón.

Nicholas “Nick” Rye: Hailing from a long lineage of servicemen, Nick fell out of contact with his family when he refused to serve in the Unification War. Instead, he left Night City and found his personal freedom in the Badlands. He took up odd jobs as a scavenger, traveling in and out of the city to deliver cargo. It was during his outings in Night City where he fell in love with Kim, whom he convinced to join him out away from the push and pull of it all. Together, they built a homestead to call their own. A homestead to plant the seeds for raising a family of their own… alongside the abandoned Panzer that Nick salvaged from his family’s old property on the border.

Noore Najjar: Once a member of Trauma Team, Noore found herself at wit’s end when an assignment gone wrong landed her at the feet of the notorious Pagan Min. At first, she was willing to lend her aid to the organization. After all, Kang Tao was held in high regard among Night City’s corporate elite. What she didn’t know is that they had eyes on her every move. On her family. And one day, when they 'mysteriously’ went missing, Pagan was there to offer Noore information in exchange for an exclusive arrangement. She left Trauma Team to work for him as a back alley ripper, and he 'conveniently’ forgot to mention that her family had been dead for months upon months. Funny how that works, huh?

Pagan Min: Rather than abandon his role within the Triad, Pagan embraced taking the reigns from his father. Now that the piece of shit was gone, he had the means to properly tear shit up. And he did. So much so, in fact, that he got in it with Kang Tao. A few shady deals here, a couple of bribes there, and Pagan’s branch of the Triad found themselves in all the glory Night City has to offer. Pagan acts as the figurehead for Kang Tao’s less legitimate dealings, often brokering deals between the corporation and anyone willing to buy in on exclusive stock.

Paolo de la Vega: Born and raised in the Heywood District, with his parents hailing from Yara, Paolo had many expectations to uphold in his family. He was drafted into Militech’s ranks at the turn of the War, and did well to follow in the footsteps of his father. That was, until news of his identity came to light. Paolo was dishonorably discharged and disowned by his family for “dressing like a man”. He was left to fend for himself in Night City’s streets, taking odd jobs that typically weren’t worth the extra creds. At some point, he ended up stealing from Talia, who opted to befriend him and let him on her musical ventures. The duo formed Máximas Matanzas, using their voices to protest the corporate takeover of Night City (particularly that of BioTechnica, where the utopian leadership is not all that it seems).

Peaches: One of few wild animals to survive Night City’s attempts at eliminating the local populace after a string of transmissible diseases, Peaches wanders the sands of The Badlands. At times, she finds herself at the doorstep of Miss Wilhelmina Mabel, who cares for Peaches for reasons unknown. Perhaps it’s craved companionship. Perhaps it’s simply an exchange for the loot Peaches gathers and stores. Regardless, the cougar seems rather friendly to most scavengers.

Rachel Jessop (Faith Seed): Born into wealth and set up with significant shares in BioTechnica (thanks to the family’s research in experimental medicine via plants), Rachel fell from grace when the pressures put onto her finally pulled her under. She turned to drugs for comfort, often finding herself lost within Night City’s streets and barely able to make it back home when things got particularly awful. For a while, Rachel had Tracey. Had someone to help her and pull her away from whatever edge, metaphorical or literal, that she found herself nearly toppling over. Unfortunately, their relationship fell under when Rachel met Joseph. According to Rachel, dubbed Faith by the preacher, Joseph welcomed her, introducing her to a strict moral code without drugs and alcohol whereby she recovered from her addiction. Unlike Rachel, Tracey soon realized Eden’s Gate’s duplicity and left them, while Rachel immersed herself completely in the ideology of the cult. She became a figurehead for those who stumbled across their territory, luring them in with a false sense of security before subjecting them to “the Bliss”.

Sam Becker: The son of a proud Militech father, Sam Becker treads Night City from the shadows. Working alongside Willis Huntley in the NUSA CIA, a mission gone wrong turned this dedicated soldier into a man fighting for his life. After losing contact out on Morro Bay, Sam found himself stuck in the ranks of Hoyt’s Privateers. Rising to become the patriarch’s right-hand man, he’s got a bad feeling he might not be able to claw his way out.

Willis Huntley: Working for President Myers is no easy task. Anybody can tell you that, but Willis doesn’t sugar coat it. Agent Willis Huntley works as a member of the NUSA’s Central Intelligence Agency. Sound familiar? A lot of his work involves working closely with Militech to keep an eye on things. Particularly the work of Arasaka, and what exactly it is they want with Night City. What do they gain from the town’s independence from the Union? Who knows? Not Willis.

Yuma Lau: Loyalty is one hell of a drug. Ever since the Min family took her in, Yuma devoted herself to their cause… whatever that may be. She idolizes Pagan and what he’s capable of. It’s no surprise that she followed him into the light as he stepped out of the shadow his father cast upon him. She followed him into blind deals with Kang Tao, acting as his personal guard. If anybody so much as looked at him wrong, they were in for a world of trouble. She followed him to Night City, taking control of the Triad’s security and protecting their interests with an iron fist.

It has hit him squarely in the head.

"WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO YOU!"

That's it, he's getting an AK. Where'd he get it from? Doesn't matter. He's spraying and praying at Jay.

The whole magazine is being emptied.

Congratulations Jay that's how you have the entirety of Kyrat coming after you.

"Weak bitch can't even deal with problems with his own hands."

Throws a rock at him.

Hey. I'm not sure if you're still doing requests but if you are could I get a Pagan Min foc with an autistic reader? If you have questions feel free to pm me.

Dude I am SO SORRY, I dropped the ball on this one - I've had the first part of this written for a while and wanted to write more before i published it, but i figure something is better than nothing at this point. There's a continuation in my head, fingers crossed I'll be able to put it into writing soon!

Anyway here goes, Pagan rescuing Reader from bullies ^^;

Pagan Min x GN Autistic Reader CN: bullying

“Hey! Weirdo! What you listening to, weirdo?”

You keep your head down. You always do, it’s safer that way. The less you look at people, the less they tend to notice you, and everyone’s happier that way. But it doesn’t work this time. The soldiers have closed in on you, trapping you in a corner of the palace courtyard you were trying to cross.

“The way you’re always humming along it’s gotta be some good shit right?” they laugh as they snatch at your headphones.

Your attempts to evade them are fruitless. Your shitty old headphones are ripped off your head, your shitty old phone torn from your hand, and now you’re staring at the soldiers as they pass the headphones around.

“The fuck is this, this is just noise!”

They’re roaring with laughter, but there’s an edge to it; like fear. Like anger. Men like that don’t like things they don’t understand. Their eyes stab at you and you have to look down again.

“Hello? Excuse me?”

That voice you know well, even though it has never spoken to you directly. Everyone knows the king’s voice. Right now, it sounds faintly amused, as its owner strolls over to join the gaggle of guards surrounding you. You swallow and take a step back, your heel nudging into the white-washed wall behind you. You lean into it, press your palms against it, focusing on your breathing.

“What’s the big to-do, hm?” Pagan Min asks, just as his shoes come into your field of view. Red crocodile leather, polished to a high sheen.

The soldiers have all straightened to salute him. Now they shift slightly, probably exchanging glances.

“Uh. Sir. Uh. Just having a joke with weirdo, here,” one of them ventures. “All in good fun. We’re buddies. Aren’t we, kid?”

You should probably nod, but you can’t quite seem to move.

“Oh. Huh,” Pagan says.

It sounds like a verbal shrug. Somehow, you manage to tear your eyes off the ground long enough to dart a quick glance at his face. He’s watching you, and when he catches you looking at him, his mouth quirks the tiniest of smiles. And if you didn’t know better … you could swear he winks at you.

“Well!” he continues, “Last I checked, all my staff have names, and I’m pretty sure your friend here isn’t called ‘Weirdo’. I’m also pretty sure you are supposed to be in the barracks for a briefing that started, oh—” he checks his watch, “—five minutes ago. Now, far be it from me to tell you how to do your job, but you know how temperamental my commander-in-chief tends to get…”

There is a moment of stillness, and then one of the soldiers hisses a curse, and they all salute the king again and scramble off towards the barracks. The one who had been holding your phone drops it. You hear yourself cry out softly and you dive for it as it hits the flagstones. You collect your headphones, hands shaking slightly. They don’t seem to have broken any worse than they already were, so that’s something. The phone screen is cracked quite badly, but perhaps it still works—

The red shoes are still there. Why hasn’t he gone yet?

You tilt your head back before you think better of it. The king is watching the army men disappear around a corner, hands in the pockets of immaculate black trousers. “Soldiers always seem to have the absolute worst sense of humour,” he muses. “I wonder why that is.” Then he glances at you, and his lips split in a grin. “But I’m sure they’ll appreciate my little joke at their expense. Hm! That briefing takes place over in the gulag.”

And then he winks again, and saunters off.

[general-kalani]

That fucking bird! What a nuisance!

Instead of trying to grab it, he waved it away. Or, at least attempted to in order to get it the hell away from him. Seriously what a pain in the ass he just wanted to make sure there was nothing in here that was fucking trouble!

"Yes, yes, you have a fucking nest in here that you want me to move away from fuck off. If only I had Ishwari's temperament for animals..."

A sigh, a look around as he stayed at the top of the stairs. He'd follow the tracks and where they led but he had to make sure everything was fine! Not one thing moved or touched is how he'd prefer it! And though there was only two rooms and then the balcony, it didn't matter.

"Really I should be infuriated some animal's made a nest in here! This wonderful home Ishwari has!.." A long sigh again. "No matter, look stop pestering me let me figure out where your damn nest is so I can move it somewhere safer. An abandoned home isn't exactly the best after all for baby... Whatever species you are!"

A huff this time. At least it wasn't some ambush awaiting him. Or at least, he believed so.

Nonetheless, into the room opposite of where the tracks went!

The little bird that had originally been spying decided action was needed to delay his friend being found in uncertain circumstances. The little fluttering of wings becomes more audible as the bold little thing starts making diving passes at the man. Tiny talons and a sharp beak just brush by the shoulder and hair of the man. The bird tries to stay close enough to avoid the man from using a ranged weapon, and utilizing the extreme dexterity to hopefully avoid grabs.

Audrey can sense Huckleberry getting closer and the proximity gives her enough information that she needs to make sure that bird-brain doesn't get himself hurt. Setting up illusions is not going to work out now she needs to be ready. Unfortunately that means she'll needs to do something she wasn't wanting to. A little knife is yanked out of her bag with haste. She rushes to the door frame of the room she's in and starts to scratch something into the wood. Sorry about getting this replaced, don't wanna' die today. Just a couple of scrawled symbols on each side of the door and it should work in a pinch. Hopefully that stupid bird knows to not try going though the door first. Audrey backs herself up away from the door to work on getting the rest of her belongings into her bag. She's just going to hope she does this magic fast enough that the stranger doesn't see or her little trap will blind him for long enough to help. A large sweep motion with her broom and her winds curl around her scattered items to spiral back into her bag.

BIO

[general-kalani]

"Well, I tend to be rather busy at this sort of time but... Today I found my duties rather lacking. A king with no duties how obnoxious does that sound?" A sigh, a swirl of his drink before sipping it.

A quiet hum though as he leaned back in his chair, staring at her and her approach. "I'm not quite familiar with that accent... Allow me to guess, a tourist? Welcome to Kyrat. My wonderful kingdom."

Another sigh, what a disastrous day with those fucking terrorists...

"But no!.. No I couldn't sleep, haven't been able to lately. Sorry to pester barkeep can I get something a little harder than this?"

He wasn't talking to them, was he? In fact, it was better if they either remained unnoticed, or at worst unrecognised. The barman's nod and quiet greeting of good evening, sir seemed to be at least some kind of distraction from their identity. Then again, Flyn only knew this place had to be somewhere in the Himalayan region.

And whoever this was, he was either important... or crazy, or both.

"I didn' expect t'find anyone here at this time, either." If anything had changed, it wasn't the Irish accent. "Can't sleep?" A mysterious little smile and a small raise of the hat in greeting followed.

//I did it and added Kaguya (Right) and Sable and Oren (Left)! Kaguya is the reason Min is the demon/pagan entity they are now while Sable and Oren are her servants who dutifully serve her. They often act as double the trouble, so i definitely recommend checking them out if you’d like your muse to get tag teamed ;p

From the Planet Headcanons: Neptune for Leslie and/or Parveen? 👀

Thank you for asking, Chy! I’ll go with Parveen, if you don’t mind ❤

what   are   your   muses   goals   ?   what’s   their   dreams   ?   are   they   intuitive   ?   do   they   believe   in   spirituality   and   acknowledge   that   in   every   day   life   ?   where   in   life   are   they   most   creative   ?   or   are   they   perhaps,   like   the   planet   saturn,   bound   to   reality   and   don’t   believe   or   acknowledge   such   things   ?   those   ruled   by   neptune   tend   to   run   away   with   their   goals   and   ideas   and   often   enough   run   too   fast   that   they   trip,   so   failure   is   familar   to   those   who   are   ruled   by   neptune.   does   your   muse   get   too   caught   up   in   unrealisitc   ideas   ?   if   so,   how   do   they   handle   the   disappointment   ?   those   ruled   by   neptune   are   also   full   of   child-like   innocence,   which   can   make   them   come   off   as   naive.   does   your   muse   care   what   others   think   of   them   ?

   Parveen

Her goals could be counted on one hand: overthrow Pagan Min’s government, rescue her dad from the Royal Army, improve Kyrat for the better, protect her family and have justice done.

(more under the cut)

She wishes she could escape from their current life. It’s the only selfish dream she has had, one she feels guilty of fantasizing. Other than that, she wishes to start a business once the war ends.

Yes! I believe Parveen can be fairly intuitive when it comes to people and her abilities—it comes with the territory of knowing body language and acting out without thinking. If you observe, she says, you will see patterns everywhere. She’s a very perceptive person, so with simply watching is enough for her to be familiar with things like, say, how to handle a gun or if someone who despite giving the heebie-jeebies is a trustworthy person or not.

She’s a believer, yes. Every day she prays first thing in the morning and thanks the gods for another day on this earth, knowing that at any moment it could be her last, though she’s not a zealot about it like Sabal. As for “spirituality” in the sense of “being concerned for the human soul”, Parveen knows that there are things that can’t be explained, that’s why she’s the one Ajay trusts when it comes to the whole Kalinga dreams matter—she doesn’t judge, she accepts it as it is and helps the best she can.

I’d say in the way she handles clothes. Parveen has a keen eye for what looks good on people, occasionally she can’t help herself and helps the official seamstress of the Golden Path take the measurements of its members. I’d say that had she not been invested in medicine and, well, waging a war on Pagan, she’d have sewn saris and sell them in the market of Banapur.

Sometimes—it shows when she checks for conscripted Royal Army soldier in search of a familiar rugged face and doesn’t find it, when she watches Amita and Sabal argue and get over their heads while they should be discussing what would happen to Kyrat after they win this conflict, when she catches her mother hide her own personal distress whenever she visits home. She deals with it by working harder than ever—her contribution to the end of the war could be small, but as long as she put in her two cents she feels a bit closer to reaching her goals.

No, she doesn’t! She couldn’t care less about what others think of her—she’s doing her best and that’s what matters. What do other people know about her, anyways?
