Some. Sort of spectrum. From most likely to least likely.

And by kitten-pile I mean This

I'll put a transcript under cut for easier reading! 🫡

How Likely Are They to Kitten Pile?

__

Mirabilis: "are you tired..? do you need a break...? ohh we could take one together..."

If she likes/trusts you even a little, she wants to cuddle about it!!!

-

Sharena and Peony: "Okay! 💖 Yay! 💖"

Shari: The only thing stopping her is social conventions -- making her MORE likely to jump at the opportunity!

Peony: Learning social awareness as she goes, and is surprisingly good at it?

-

Triandra: "Aren't we a bit old for that...? But... even so..."

Embarrassed, conflicted, but feels strangely nostalgic at the notion...

-

Plumeria: "I'm not so petal-soft that I'd resort to such INDECENCY, I mean even if your intentions are Pure USE YOUR HEADS YOU FOOLS!! Girl, the IMPLICATIONS!!!"

Desperately wants to join the kitten-pile, but her Issues and Pride gets in the way.

-

Moe: "aw, so cutes!"

Generally touch adverse, extremely picky even with the people it likes/loves -- everything is entirely on its terms.

" FIRST IMPRESSIONS. " - GARDENIA.

(Hiiiii, so me and my friend @crowcake0 made silly little ocs that kiss and i wrote about them. Mira belongs to @crowcake0 and Darian belongs to me. Uhhhh, enjoy!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mortality is a blessing, living a long and aged life, and having that release at the end. Mortality is natural, familiar, it's what makes up the structure of humanity. So why must I stray so far from the structure?

I have walked this earth for far too long, and yet I am human. 245 years I have touched the ground, breathed this air, felt flesh on my bones and a heart in my chest, beating and beating like a drum and refusing to stop.

I have seen the rises and falls of empires, met many faces, and watched those faces parish. 

Human connection is such an odd thing. How fast it can fester and how fast it can end is truly fascinating to me. Every year that passes, the more and more I lose my hope for what humanity has done to this beautiful planet, animals they are. 

I have fought many wars, seen many corpses, I have lived so many lives in just one body. Every scar I gain tells its own story, at this point, they have become a clock for me to tell just how long I have lingered, even if I should've been gone decades ago.

Armor sat neatly on my body, weighing down heavily. I didn't mind it, I have lived in armor almost my entire life. I was never one for taking such domestic jobs, I was a known war lord, not just a personal knight to keep a queen safe. I was respected among men, my face never known, just a name. Darian. But for this, my face felt the bright shine and warmth of the sun, allumniating every scar and freckle on my skin. I was a spy, only here to collect intel, pretend, and leave, simple.

Gardenia was the name of the kingdom, quite grand i had to admit. Buildings of stone rose high into the sky, and the main centerpiece being a castle who stood above the rest. It was quite a sight for sore eyes, anyone could appreciate the architecture of this place. One moment I was admiring the view, the next I was being guided into the castle, it was much larger on the inside then it appeared on the outside. My arms remained at my sides, my eyes forward, my face looking as if made out of stone. Voices were going in and out of my ears, I had no care for what they had to say.

The throne room was truly gorgeous. All sorts of royal colors and banners lining the walls, paintings, statues, it was so alive. I almost broke when I took it all in, I had been in many castles but never like this.

Everything was a blur for me besides the room, all of the people, royal staff, all out of focus. I was only focused on my job, I had all the time in the world to marvel about such beauties and luxuries later. Though, I was sucked back in at the mere sight of the queen. Her hair looked unnaturally white, even golden from the large slivers of sunlight entering in. Her skin was a nice contrast from her hair. The second thing I noticed was a small scar on her forehead, big enough to be noticed, but small enough to not be a sore sight. I was so captivated I had forgotten to bow upon her entry.

I felt eyes on me, kneeling down with a hand to my heart and another behind my back. “Queen Mirabilis, I am at your service.” My voice was rough and groveling, my throat spiking for a moment. My head lifted a second after, meeting her directly in the eyes. Her hands folded neatly in front of her, her gown fitting for a queen, a crown resting neatly on her head.

“No need for the formalities my dear! Mira will do just fine.” A polite smile stretched across the queen's face, her voice gentle as silk. I only nodded my head to her request, I was afraid my voice would come out as high pitched as hers if i spoke anything else.

For my mission, I had to act as her personal knight. Or, a bodyguard. This had previously sounded like a simple task where I could collect a paycheck and leave. But, clearly my brain and heart were betraying me on this one simply for how captivating she had turned out to be.

I know this would have been different. I was protecting a king, I would keep my stone and stubborn face to the end, I always found men disgusting. An ironic thought for a person posing as one. I certainly blended in. my features looked more masculine, my chest never showed, my voice was manually deepended, there was no reason for any man to be suspicious i was not one of them.

“And what is your name, sir?” I had fully perked up upon hearing the queen speak up again, her head tilting the slightest bit out of curiosity.

“Darian, my queen.” I answered her back, clearing my throat before doing so. I heard her mumble my name a couple of times, letting the name sit on her tongue for a moment. A smile remained on her face, her voice was calming as she spoke to different advisors and staff, readying me a room and orders for other such tasks. I could tell she was an orderly presence among them all, despite her soft spoken demeanor and quiet appearance, they all knew she was in charge.

The absence of a king was the second thing I noticed when I had first walked in, only her. She had been ruling by herself, keeping this kingdom afloat for so long.

I had seen empires rise and fall, but this one held its head high, and so did its queen.

Meet my latest splatoon oc mira! shes based of those crazy zigzag ammonites like nipponites mirabilis

[unethicallypleistocene]

Guess who's back with another random OC ask, and this time I'm REALLY gonna cater to your interests!!

Give me an extinct creature or fossil that best represents each of your OCs? (Or, if you want to make things even more interesting, give me one dinosaur and one non-dinosaur for each, or give me creatures from different epochs)

WAHOO this is right up my alley!! Thanks so much!!

Blake:

A bit obvious, but I COULD NOT resist making him an Irish elk from, of course, the middle Pleistocene!

This picture likely doesn't do it justice, these things had massive antlers.

Tern:

Gonna go with a classical Cambrian species for them, a trilobite!

Alden:

This guy doesn't even have a wikipedia page. Xiushanosteus mirabilis is one of the oldest known species of jawed vertebrate fish from the Early Silurian!

James:

Of course, everybody's favorite transitional species, Tiktaalik from the Late Devonian!

(Fun fact, "Tiktaalik" is an Inuktitut word meaning either "large freshwater fish" or "burbot", I couldn't find any consensus to what the word means in the practical context or how specific it is. Burbots do look quite similar to these guys, though!)

Abraham:

He gets an Ichthyornis from the late Cretaceous!

Not really visible in this image, but it was the first extinct bird to be discovered that had teeth!

Taber:

Couldn't finish this list without some La Brea Tar Pits representation. He gets a Paramylodon!

Feh talk: hate the new type of hero and new skill slot! Rearmed were a cool concept, you didn't HAVE to have an arcane weapon but they made so units with bad PRFs had a new chance... This new attuned heroes are just plain powercreep! You have to get a specific unit or your gonna be in disavantage against units who have an extra skill slot... And they are limited heroes to make It worse!

Btw, nice "SoV banner"! I know IntSys thinks that putting any unit that is not a young waifu will doom the banner but literally only Mycen as a new unit? I know the unit roster is small but Jesse, Deen and Nomah are there! They put another alt for Sonya (which is a character I admit I like) but Deen is still in alt hell... Also, Mycen is literally the only unit that will stay in the normal summoning poll, really cool...

Anyways, for the units, Sonya looks cool and strong with her PRF skill, Mycen is this gen Duessel and the fairies are strong dancer nukes (tbh the only fairy OC I actually like is mirabilis and she is the one that doesn't get any alt)... It's actually a really strong banner with many good fodder options

Oh, just a small last complain in the end: Triandra skill is only +4 atk If initiating combat while Peony get +6 atk and teleportation If it's next to an ally... Really balanced IS...

[leaf-storm-lurking]

FEH OCs part 4 out of ???

Disclaimer: I am going off of memory here, so I'll probably get several things wrong and miss a few things. Also, Book 4 is my favorite for the aesthetic. (Dreams, flowers, questioning reality, butterflies, and the dread of nightmares are all up my alley.)

Peony: I don't like her outfit or her hair. Other than that, she's alright. I found the "she could be the real Sharena" thing cool, but it didn't matter in the end. Was down with dying to make sure we got out and I guess we got to relearn(?) each after we woke up from our dream.

Mirabilis: Where were you during the first half of the book? Other than that, I really like that dress and feel like Peony should've had something similar.

Freyr: One of many FEH OCs that hasn't gotten their base form summonable yet. (Also, I'm sad that he is our only male wearing clothing from Ljosalfheimer or Dokkalfheimer.) His eyes are always closed cause he's dreaming, but his sister seems to be awake.

Triandra: 8-year commits murder against abusive father. She's probably not appreciated since her job is giving people nightmares. Also, what are her outfits...? She's wearing a leotard(?) in her base, but what is her spring alt? Why would you wear a bikini during spring, a season associated with rain...

Plumeria: I feel bad for this girl. Become an alfar for her mother's love, only to... "spread love to others." I have several questions for Freyja... Also, her outfit is the most appropriate considering her job, not sure if the dreams she gives are bad. Wonder what she's up to considering she and Triandra are teaming up with Lif and Thrasir.

Freyja: In actual Norse mythology, Freyja rules over the realm of Folkvanger (Sounds like a name for a cool sword), where half of the warriors who die in battle go. In FEH she rules over the realm of nightmares, and I'm a little disappointed... She could've had us fight Hel, Sutr, Gustav, Fallen Edelgards, or any assortment of nightmarish foes. It's also funny that she's a light hero...

Following the tradition of older books getting new content during tempest trial events along with new characters and ascended forms, I wonder what they'll do for this book.

Tempest Trials Update:

So, Freyja is back (RIP Freyr, at least he's summonable now). Apparently, Plumeria and Triandra made a deal with a higher power to get her back (Thorr, Loki, or the "All Father" are my guesses), but Freyja's like "No, no, these two are mine."

We get two new characters from the tempest...

Eitr - Sharena's introduction mentions that the flowers she's holding are from Vanaheimer, which makes sense considering who she actually is. I was disappointed that I couldn't the mole on her face, but her hair is probably just covering it. (Also, can everyone from Vanaheimer turn into a goat?)

Ginnungagap - Weird design but fitting, I was expecting something more human like the other gods we've seen. I wanna learn more about her, assuming there's anything to learn. Also, she's cavalry?!?

[nabaart]

Yes I'm aware I mispronounced "briars". But listen, my brain was wired for latin while I was doing this. Heavens above (and @aealzx ) as my witness, I'll butcher even my own OCs' names if I'm talking in one language and suddenly switch to a different one.

Lyrics below the cut

Walking, eating, humming Is the moon or I the most full? Free yet watched by something Inhuman and beautiful

Ambulare, comedere, fremere oblivio (Walking, eating, humming oblivious) Aut ego plenissima luna? (Is the moon or I the most full?) Libero adhuc custodiebantur ab aliquo (Free yet watched by something) Pulchra et inhumana (Inhuman and beautiful)

O' ruler of shadow and thorns Who nests my birds in thy briars This song of mine is then born Preceding and announcing the queen

O' ruler of autumn and winter Make me lord of summer and spring Your shadow is the harvest bringer That rippens my buds most green

Regina hiemis et umbrae (Queen of winter and shadows) Rex veris et lumine (King of spring and light) Per radix et sap animas terrae (Souls of the earth, by root and wisdom) Qui saltant in limine (Who dance on the threshold)

Regina hiemis et autumnae (Queen of winter and autumn) Tibi servio, sole et tempestas (I serve you in sun and storm) Texere licio meo fenestras (Weave your lace on my windows) Et ego relinquo flos in umbrare (And I'll place a flower by the shade)

Rex aestatis et veris (King of spring and summer) Sparge me in tuo lumine (Sprinkle me with your light) Tuo floreat per hortis (Let your flowers bloom through the gardens) Et glacio texere in limine (And through lacy frost as a threshold)

O' ruler of light and lastborns Who nests thy birds in my briars I cradle your song, all that's yours The beauty of blooms and seeds green

O' ruler of my heart splinters And also of summer and spring Yours is the warmth that lingers In ice, the treasure you bring

Ambulare, comedere, fremere oblivio (Walking, eating, humming oblivious) Hic lumen esne summa solis (As if you're sunlight in full) Simplex sed dilexit ut aliquo (Simple yet loved, it's something) Sic humanum et mirabilis (So human and wonderful)

Who cred rainy skies bleak and rainbows art? Unseen the soft beauty of snow Yet no truth — only man— set apart The chirping of birds, the cawing of crows

Walking, eating, humming Is the moon or I the most full? Free yet watched by something Inhuman and beautiful

Ambulare, comedere, fremere oblivio Aut ego plenissima luna? Libero adhuc custodiebantur ab aliquo Pulchra et inhumana

O' ruler of shadow and thorns Who nests my birds in thy briars This song of mine is then born Preceding and announcing the queen

O' ruler of my heart splinters And also of summer and spring Yours is the warmth that lingers In ice, the treasure you bring

Ambulare, comedere, fremere oblivio Aut ego plenissima luna? Libero adhuc custodiebantur ab aliquo Pulchra et inhumana

Who cred rainy skies bleak and rainbows art? Unseen the soft beauty of snow Yet no truth — only man— set apart The chirping of birds, the cawing of crows

Book IV Mid Mirabilis and More Theorycraft

Ah, the first “Mid Point” banner. That banner in May when they let you pull a new Mythic Heroes OC along side new regular heroes, with a instant demote given as quest rewards. The Mythic unit was in the title, Mirabilis, a sleeper pick, if I must say (as a joke). Emmeryn was the instant demote, and being a healer, we get to skip her too. That leaves 4 interesting heroes from Awakening to talk about. Fitting that I put this out the month we get another Awakening themed banner.

Anna: Secret Seller

Lvl. 40 5 ☆ 38/35/40/28/31         Max Invest: 48/45/50/37/41

Apotheosis Spear: Grants Spd+3. Unit can move to a space adjacent to an ally within 2 spaces. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat.

Rally Atk/Spd+ - Atk/Spd Form 3 - Atk/Spd Ruse 3 - Joint Drive Spd

Apotheosis! Anna, as she’s colloquially named, isn’t the trickers Anna we were hoping to get, and someone, like me, wouldn’t even know who she is. Basically, she’s a DLC super boss on the hardest map in the game (well not “in” cuz DLC, but you know). She got 99 HP, Max stats, Brave Lance and Spear, forged to +8 Mt and +20 Hit, and has Aether, Rightful God, Dragonskin, Vantage+, and Counter. My Goddess! And here she is in Feh, and she’s a rally bot with early warp. She like, Order of Heroes Anna, but with a rally. So, we got a lot to pull from. First, Aether can be inherited and Gambit has made it good combination with her lacking Accelerate Special. I’m going to pretend that every player does that. I could then give her Vantage in the weapon, but I’m saving that for our next hero (*wink*). Which leaves us with Counter and Rightful God to emulate. Thank the (Rightful) God that inspiration has just come to us.

Apotheosis Spear: Grants Spd+3. Unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of an ally within 2 spaces. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit, and also, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% and unit's next attack deals damage equal to total damage reduced (by any source, including other skills). Resets at end of combat.

So, Anna got the warp power buffed to let her move even further, then gave her the damage refection saw on Hans or Brash Assault. This is the “Counter” I mentioned above. It’s a good way to encourage risker plays to up the damage she deals.

If unit initiates combat or is within a 2 tile radius of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit, reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduces damage by X%" skills by X × 30%, and grants Special cooldown count-X to unit before unit's first attack during combat (X = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat, max 3; if [Penalty] effects are active on foe, then the value is treated as 3).

And this is where I would put Tempo or NFU, but for something spicier, I’m pulling from the newest banner. Everyone from this winter banner is coming with “Special Jump”, seen on Brave!Robin and the earlier Mini!Ike. This effect is what makes Gambit a viable skill to use with Aether. Add to that the damage reduction piercing that comes form Winter Yunaka, and you got a deadly nuke. But here’s the kicker, because this includes “If [Penalty] is on foe” effect, she can utilize the Ruse skill to debuff enemies, and then charge jump a 4 charge skill on her counter attack (that is boosted), or Aether on the follow-up. Yeah, this is pretty epic.

Say'ri: Chon'sin's Blade

Lvl. 40 5 ☆ 40/35/40/23/34         Max Invest: 50/45/50/32/44

Amatsu: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 50%, unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range.

Iceberg - Kestrel Stance 3 - Close Call 3

Behold, the samurai chick. Why does princess from the future version of Valentia look like she’s from Hoshido? I don’t know, dread fighters are cool. So, what does she do in Awakening? Dodge tank some Generals until you recruit her, then she’s just an Awakening swordmaster. She comes with Iceberg, but she can get (Vital) Astra by inheritance. They also get Vantage too but she doesn’t have that skill in FEH.

Oh, I didn’t even mention, Amatsu is a conditional distant counter slayer sword, just like Orsin. Her brother, Yen’fay, also has Amatsu, but it’s just DC with Dodge. It needed AS to get good damage.  

Amatsu: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grant Atk/Spd+6 to unit, reduce damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range.

Matching Orsin, her HP condition is more generous to get DC, but she now get’s the 40% DR that many units are getting now adays that count for “brave attacks”.

At start of combat, If foe initiate combat or foe's HP ≥ 75%, grant Atk/Spd+6 to unit, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduces damage by X%" skills by 50% *. At start of combat, if foe initiates combat, unit's HP ≥ 25%, and unit's Spd > foe's Spd, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack.

And here, we got the Vantage tanking I was expecting, she unfortunately needs to be faster than the foe, which is difficult now a days, but it’s possible with a tier 4 Dodge skill. She also gets Physical NFU to also replace the need for it in the B slot. This will make her a great Dodge tank while bypassing the foe’s DR.

Mustafa: Plegian Champion

Lvl. 40 5 ☆ 45/38/25/36/28         Max Invest: 55/48/34/46/38

Barrier Axe+: If foe initiates combat, grants Res+7 during combat.

Bonfire - Water Boost 3 - Def Tactic 3

Oh, here’s a surprise. The one boss from Plegian that empathetic to his fellow men and apposed to his kings trickster ways. Some good representation of Plegian people, and he’s dark skinned, unlike Tharja and Henery? What a concept. Anyway, Mustafa in FEH is just another axe fighter with high Atk/Def, but his skills buff his Res for some reason. I guess that was the only way to counter mages back then, if you can’t use Dodge. Now I was thinking the name for the axe can be the “Plegian Axe” but that already exist. So I could design the axe to be a better version of it, you know, if debuff the foe’s Atk/Def at the start of turn, then doubles it during combat. If would solve his Res problem. But then Lucina appeared with the Arcane Prime (Thrime?) and it’s just what I was going to make. Uh? Okay. I guess this will be a Death Knight situation here.

Champion Axe: At start of turn, if unit is within 4 spaces of a foe or is not adjacent to an ally, grant Atk/Def+6 and [Bonus Doubler] to unit for 1 turn and inflicts Atk/Def-6 and [Sabotage] on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. At the start of combat, if unit is adjacent to ≤ 1 allies, grants Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and inflict Def-4 on foe during combat.

Okay, so instead of just inflicting Atk/Def-6 and then doubling it during combat, he’s applying [Sabotage] (to double penalties) and granting him Atk/Def+6 and [Bonus Doubler]. With the extra +4 to all stats, that’s potentially 40 more damage and 40 less physical damage or 16 less magical damage. I thought about using the menace condition instead for just triggering whenever, but then I kept the solo condition from Plegian Axe as a reference to his country and to his chapter, where he stood alone, letting his allies desert him to greave for the death of Emmeryn and the morals of their country. 

At start of combat, if foe initiate combat or foe’s HP ≥ 75%, grants Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, inflict Def-4 on foe, and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat, and also, if unit's Def > foe's Def, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 5. (max 50%)

And now for the counter to mages part. First, another +4 to all stats. Since he’s not fixing that Spd stat, he’s getting guaranteed follow-up, and to further reduce damage, I’ve given him damage reduction equal how much higher Def he has over his foe, which we seen only on B!Dimitri (hence the inflict Def-4 instead of the Atk+4). Mages already have low Def so that makes it easy, they can have 26 Def to get the full amount. But for the high-Def foes, they got a lot of penalties and all of Mustafa’s bonuses to deal with. This weapon can give him 20 Def and reduce the foe’s Def by 20, for 40 Def difference. With the 36 Def he starts with, the foe can have 66 Def, and he would still get the 50% DR. There are still tons of factors, but you get the gist. Is that new Arcane Axe better? Since there’s no Accelerate Special or Tempo, it might not be good in the long run, and a flat DR based on his Def would be more consistent and wouldn’t be pierced by Deadeye, Etc. But with the amount of debuffs, they work like flat DR, and there was no way he could use Spd checked NFU. It something that works for him.  

Gangrel: Plegia's Mad King

Lvl. 40 5 ☆ 45/32/38/24/27         Max Invest: 55/42/48/33/37

Levin Dagger: Grants Res+3. If [Penalty] is active on foe, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and deals damage = 20% of unit's Res during combat. Effect: [Dagger 7]

Glacies - Chill Atk 3 - Panic Ploy 3

And here’s the trickers mad king himself, Gaugamela. No? You say it’s Gangrel? He’s not hunting Smurfs? ‘kay. Whatever.

Following the “success” of Kronya, Gangrel is getting a really good effect if they foe has penalties, which, he can inflict with the regular dagger effect. He also had two passive skill to inflict penalties on foes so he can attack the debuffed foe, nuke them with Res true damage, debuff all the other foes, and then . . . somehow not die on the first hit on enemy phase to dealing about 6 true damage. Wait, only 6? 27 + 3 +4 = 34 / 5 = 6.8. If he had 1 more Res, it would be 7. Why? His Spd is higher. Whatever. When he’s max invested, it will be 10, with a super boon.

Levin Dagger: Grants Res+3. If unit initiates combat or [Penalty] is active on foe, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and deals damage = 20% of unit's Res during combat. Effect: [Dagger 7]

Like Kronya, Gangrel can get stats when initiating or when the foe has a penalty, so only in enemy phase will he need penalties on the foe.

At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+6 and "if unit initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%" to unit and allies within 2 spaces for 1 turn, and also, if one of those allies is a magic user, grant [Hexblade] additionally. If unit’s HP ≥ 25% or [Bonus] is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials) during combat.

So I heard Iago is handing out [Hexblade]. Why not Gangrel too. This guy is going to have A/R Hexblade buit into his weapon, which the extra Remote Mirror like effect to add to it. Of course, the reason why I gave him [Hexblade] is because it’s the Levin Dagger, which based on the Levin Sword he wielded in his boss fight, and to restrict it to being with a mage is to reference Aversa, Gangrel’s side girl, as well as the numerous dark mages his kingdom has. This is a team wide buff too, so he can let his minions do the dirty work. He then gets further true damage reduction based on his Res. I know I just gave Mustafa a Def difference percentage-based DR, but Gangrel doesn’t have the Res to beat most mages or dragons to “Dragon Wall” them. Plus, Mustafa got the 40 Def difference inflictor. With this, his High HP can be used to actually tank, and lead to nice adaptive damage Glacies counter kills.

And with that, I’ve finished Book IV Mid-point banner. Time to nap like Mirabilis.
