#thank you for letting me freewrite about my OC!!!

On here for a bit, so for the OC asks for Jag or Vijayamalini (or both!) from Druadal: 6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

8) What hobbies does your OC have? What do they do to unwind?

16) How's their relationship with their parents? Are they alive?

24) Can they play any instruments? If so, what do they play?

Vijayamalini

6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

Vijayamalini is politically brilliant and good at PR in my royalty setting, so I guess in the modern day she’d have some similar political position. Perhaps if she’s able to get treatment for her chronic illness (which I need to work out the details of), then she might go into a more physically demanding career.

8) What hobbies does your OC have? What do they do to unwind?

Jaya has an intellectual/political circle of friends she enjoys writing letters to, both as part of being queen and for her own enjoyment, since she cannot travel often because of her health. In fact just as I was writing this, I had a stroke of genius that one of her pet projects as queen is improving the mail system in Druadal because she relies on it to maintain connections with the friends she cannot visit.

16) How's their relationship with their parents? Are they alive?

Right now all I know about Jaya’s parents is that she is the eldest daughter of a duchess, her mother is the one with the noble title in her own right, and her mother at least is still alive when she marries Jag. I might work out more details about them later.

I do know that her chronic illness runs in the family, although I’m leaning towards both her parents not having it, and that they were well aware before she was born that she might inherit it. She was raised with an emphasis on honing her political skills since she is occasionally bedridden due to her health, and there were questions about whether she would be able to have children. It’s a similar approach she and Jag take to raising their youngest son Prabodh. He inherits a milder form of the illness, which nevertheless prevents him from doing many physical activities, and they make sure to encourage his strengths in other areas, rather than allow him to mope.

24) Can they play any instruments? If so, what do they play?

She can play several instruments as part of her noble education, but music isn’t one of her passions. I imagine one of them is the Druadalian equivalent of a veena. Jaya does encourage her daughter Manjeera’s interest in dancing.
