Related to asked and answered 151, for Winter.

*Disclaimer: these are my thoughts and opinions and are in no way meant to be asserted as fact or canon. Thank you.

When I hear ballerina, I'm sure like most of you, I think pink and tulle. I do imagine she'd prefer a lot of softer clothing, partly because she as a soft vibe, but also because she'd be acutely aware of how things feel against her skin.

PD's pinboard did help flesh out some ideas that I had, sometimes confirming the direction my mind was already heading in.

I think my biggest take away from PD's board is that Winter...doesn't like clothes?

Regardless, I headcanon her style to lean more feminine than the other three. Softer colors, such as blues and pinks with white. Similar to the uniform skirt, I imagined her liking short skirts as well as items that have details like bows, lace, and tulle.

If not wearing a skirt, I think Winter would like skinny jeans the best.

I remember in KS, Damon commenting on her boots, and while I also thought that was PD trying to make Winter "darker" to fit the aesthetic, I tried to look at what that would mean for Winter's style. It could be a subtle sign rebellion and Winter's natural style picking through. So, there might be a balance between the super soft feminine look I was picturing. She might have an overall style that highlights her soft femineity, and she has a slight edginess that wasn't able to come through before she stepped away from the control of her family expectations.

I don't think she'd stick to just basic colors like black and white. The balance would be the style of clothing along with the softer colors, like blues, pinks, and neutrals. But black is a staple in all of their wardrobes, so it's probably featured heavily in hers as well.

Like all the skirts above, I think she likes her dresses short and A-line, so they pop a little at the waist. She'd like girly details, like bows, mesh, and lace, and a softer color pallet, but with a slight alternative twist occasionally.

One thing I do HC for Winter specifically is thigh high socks. Maybe because she's a dancer and dancers use leg warmers, but also she's go the legs for it.

And I remember her wedding dress being white feathers, which pinterest thinks is either one of these. If I had to pick, I'd go for the left. I think on her wedding day, she gets fancy and princess-y, but the right would be more practical for her.

Now for Damon, there's one picture on PD's pinboard that has overtaken my idea of what he wears (not that my image of his style was very strong before).

Do you see where I'm going with this?

But don't worry. He also has a more everyday style. I mean, he did wear all those jeans and shirts that Bank inherited in the past.

Thanks for waiting for me to finish. Winter and Damon are the most difficult for me to imagine, so it took a while to figure out how I wanted to present my idea. Let me know if you agree or if you have an entirely different idea of her style.

The snow that made Rune so happy weighed heavily on Psyche’s soul. Winter dragged, the cold air bringing back memories of lying on the ground through a long freezing night, bound hand and foot, abandoned and alone. She felt like a branch about to break under the snow’s weight. And if she broke? What half-forgotten terror would smother her?

Favorite Moment from Writing This Morning: Getting to write about romanticizing the ordinary. It's one of my favorite things about being alive.

Favorite Line Crafted: One of my great joys in life is when you read a book that leaves a gossamer blanket of magic over ordinary life. When trees become a little unsafe, white flowers become the graves of ancient kings, and autumn is summoned by the witch of seasons.

@alana-k-asby This is something I love about our book too! It gives life a little twist and shifts the perspective so that apples are more than apples and winter is more than winter, and a small part of my heart waits to catch a glimpse of a white stag through the trees.

Not only do I love this piece of art, but it has a real Stoneheart feel to it. It reminds me of an older Rune coming home with her animals. Home to the Sullivan cottage where rest and love and comfort nestle together to bring healing.

The cold moon gleamed high in the heavens, as if the winter reigned too long on high as well as on earth.
