#she's not blue but I love her anyway

[dawnslight-aegis]

the kids and the godkids, pt 2

Jorani Kimbatuul

Aliases/Titles: Jojo, the Emerald Dragoon (self-styled)

Combat training: Lance/naginata, axe, scythe (DRG/WAR/RPR)

Elemental affinity: Wind

Personality: Bright, energetic, friendly, mischievious, brash, reckless, flighty, curious

Childhood: Sickly as a baby, but made up for that with boundless energy and zest for life once she was healthy. Spent her childhood wandering with her parents and brother, was well-suited to nomadic life, but holds a special fondness for Thavnair and Othard. Sometimes teased for her scaled elezen ears, but overall mostly happy. Is very sensitive to (and hates) the cold, despises Ishgard for that and for committing the unspeakable crime of being grey and boring.

Adulthood: Becomes a full-time adventurer for a considerable chunk of her life, marries the son of Curious Gorge and Dorgono, and assists her uncle in the restoration of tribe Kimbatuul. A dedicated student of several different schools of lancework – mixes Ishgardian, Hannish, and Nagxian traditions in a way that makes her truly unpredictable to fight. Never quite reaches the heights of fame of her parents, but is fairly well-known.

Interests: Xaela culture/history, fighting, botany, alchemy, cute critters (her definition of “cute” is… interesting), voidsent/the void

Relationships under the cut

 Marz: Adores and idolizes her mother, sometimes feels like she’s a bit larger than life. They are rather startlingly alike in a lot of ways, and Marz has made sure to pass on her own mother’s knowledge of herb lore and alchemy in particular.

 Estinien: A daddy’s girl through and through, very closely bonded to him since she was very small. Often went with him to dragoon training with the Radiant Host.

 Hamignant: Drags him along on all her adventures, big and small. Inseparable as kids, still close as adults but live very different, separate lives. Goes to visit when he’s in Thavnair – avoids doing so when he’s in Ishgard.

 Kaede: Mildly intimidated by her calm, poised, elegant auntie Kaede, feels like a bit of a nuisance at times, is always very very proud whenever she earns any praise from her. (Kaede sees her as a miniature Marz and treats her accordingly lmao)

 Aymeric: Lives to follow him around and bother him with questions, adores that he is always patient and makes time for her. Always trying to convince him to retire and move somewhere less cold.

 Emilien: Friendly rival and sparring partner, fun to needle and annoy. Has been trying to sabotage his love life with other men for years because of Hami’s feelings for him.

 Liliane: Thinks of her as a little sister, likes to indulge her whims and plans, encourages her but does patronize her a little.

 Others: Especially fond of her auntie Zaya, who teaches her tons of fascinating things about voidsent, and her uncle Daava, who is essentially a second father to her. Likes to drop in on Tataru and gossip from time to time. Adores Alisaie, sees a total kindred spirit in her as a fellow hot-headed girl twin. Sees Nidhana as a mentor in all things alchemical and weird.

thinking about mizu from blue eye samurai. thinking. thinking so much. thinking about how mizu operates outside of gender. like we joke about her gender being revenge but straight up? it literally is. like she grew up as a boy and is most comfortable being a man, but behind that is the feeling of betraying himself because he isn't being honest about who he is and he lives in fear of being discovered. and when he lived as a woman, she found joy there as well. she fell in love, and though she wasn't good at it, she liked being a wife and enjoying a simple life. but in that life too, she isn't being honest about who she is. and when she reveals her true self, it's not a woman, she's a demon, a weapon. she's to masculine to be a woman, and too feminine to be a man. ultimately, mizu is most comfortable when they are being a murder machine. that's when they feel they are being the most true to themself. like a sword, they are neither man nor woman, but a blend of both, which makes them stronger.

you know, an interpretation of ct that I don't see that I personally really love is that she's a fuck up. like yes she's cool and she has some good fight scenes, but a huge part of her character is that she makes mistakes. the mistakes that she makes are ones that on their own aren't the end of the world, but she keeps making these little mistakes, and they eventually add up until she's out of room to make any more.

a really good example of this phenomenon in action is the actions she took leading up to her final confrontation with carolina and tex.

strike one, she thought she saw something in the water, but when asked by the leader what it was, she brushed it off as nothing when even if it had been nothing, it would've been smart to tell him what she thought she saw.

strike two, she didn't sense or notice florida's presence when the leader did, and she looks at the leader twice, once as she pulled out her magnums, and again after she did a scan of the room, almost like she was looking at him for guidance before he finds florida and takes him out with one good axe throw.

strike three, she couldn't convince the leader to leave when they had the chance to get away, and her cheap tricks were not enough to hold off either tex or carolina in a fight. they were only good for incapacitating her opponents enough for her to get away, which doesn't work when she has no escape.

ct is not tex, or carolina, or south. she is not a one woman army who can get herself out of trouble when she's stuck in tough situations. she needs people who can watch her back, she need a team who can cover her when she does mess up, and the leader and his team were not those people. she couldn't bring herself to trust them, and they couldn't bring themselves to trust her, and that cost all of them their lives.

My mother sure does like to claim she doesn't have favourites but considering my two sisters are currently in Spain with her and she gifted my older brother a whole ass house I'm beginning to have my doubts
