COMING IN HOT WITH 🌹🍁🌻 & 🌾 for shivani pretty please 🫶 GORGEOUS design btw
d&d oc asks!
🌹 Where in the world does your OC feel most at home? Is there any reason why? If it’s not the place they were born, where were they born? Is there a certain somebody that makes them feel at home where ever they may be? What does home mean to them?
juniper was born in the feywild and lived there for most of her life, in the uncharted wilderness below the risen districts. she always loved exploring and this is what caused her to end up on the material plane at some point; accidentally wandered too far and crossed a border without realizing, and the portal had long closed when she found her way back to it :( with reality working so differently on the two planes her memories of it faded entirely too quickly, despite spending entire decades there; and even though she does end up returning to the feywild with her party much later on, she never manages to find her true home within back, and thus it no longer serves that purpose to her
her actual, real home nowadays lies within the city of dumad, a jungle town located in the feygate rainforest in caspen. it's small and cozy, a little cottage in the outer districts with a small vegetable garden; though she mostly uses it to grow various wildflowers and fey-touched plants, attracting dozens of insects that the neighbors don't really like but are vital to the rainforest's ecosystem and many would be threatened with extinction due to the feywild's influence on the environment. it makes her house more of a home for others, and she herself would've grown less and less comfortable within its confines over time
that's why her real home is with her party. she's always had the wanderer's spirit and with her friends she can go anywhere and everywhere, she can see so much of the world and that freedom is essential for her to feel comfortable and at peace. especially @mojaves' oc mairwen (an equally as tall firbolg barbarian girlie) makes her feel so at ease; the two of them met about two decades ago and juniper's life on the material plane has been so much easier since
🍁 Where does your OC go when they need to have some time to themself? Would they ever have their own “comfort corner” filled with all the things they like? Do they have a favourite spot outside that feels like its theirs and theirs alone?
juniper rarely needs time for herself as she loves being around others and she really just. RARELY leaves mairwen's side. the two are always glued together wherever they go, and if juniper needs to wind down she feels most comfortable in mairwen's arms. if for whatever reason she does need to be alone with her thoughts for a little bit (often triggered by a night full of night terrors from her patron, or direct contact with her) she likes to wander off from the rest of the party when they're resting somewhere, to just be surrounded by nature for a little while. if they're staying in an inn, she will go out into town by herself, preferably in the dark, and walk until she becomes sleepy enough to fall asleep immediately the second she gets back to the inn
🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?
just in general juniper is forever fascinated by other people and their little quirks and mannerisms. gestures and body language indicating excitement would be what gets her excited as well, a very clear example of this being whenever mairwen or hindsight get excited about something and their tail starts wagging; it'd in turn make juniper's tail wag too, though she can hide it a lot better since it's very short and often covered up entirely by her dress
in addition to that, she loves seeing little critters in nature but also in the streets in towns and cities; rodents, but also insects, and she especially loves seeing little flowers blooming between rocks and stuff like that :]
🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them
asked andy very niceys to describe juniper from mairwen's point of view for me and this is their answer: juniper is very warm and inviting. not necessarily in a ray of sunshine kind of way, but she just has a very vibrant personality that shines through in everything she does. she's very curious (mostly thanks to her fey background) but in a good way; nothing ever gets boring with her, she knows so much and because of that she always has so many interesting stories to tell. mairwen could listen to her all day
