Real talk: with Veilguard I had hoped with the Solas situation he would be more of the equivalent of like Johnny in Cyberpunk 2077; you know in Rook's head, just popping to berate and shit talk their choices or offer like advice/guidance and commentary (unwanted or otherwise).

To no one's surprise at all, Daisy does have a small jewelry box of pillbox/locket/poison rings. And she always wears one or two of them, with either a lethal tablet inside (be it for an enemy or herself) or an antidote for the most common poisons. The ring she wears most often (and is her favorite) looks a bit like this. It's one of the first things she bought with her earned coin. Typically she wears it on her right ring finger. If she wears a second one it'll be on her left middle finger.

But in general Daisy does like jewelry; even if she doesn't wear it as often as she would like. She has a few necklaces, some earrings and bracelets. Yet what gets worn the most, besides rings, is hairpins. Of course the hair pins serve a purpose outside of just being an accessory --- a hidden or improvised weapon. There's a small number of contracts or instances where she's used a hairpin as a means to kill. The same could be applied to hat pins.

@magecrow ☆ Cont.

"Well you see, doors have these things called locks and if you truly didn't want me, or anyone, barging in you should learn to use one." Though the remark whips off her tongue at the speed of a viper's strike, it lacks any true venom. Sarcastic teasing at best.

Languidly her eyes roam the scene before her as she draws closer to Florian. Perhaps in her younger years it would have shocked her, disturbed her even. Now, it was as normal as the sky being blue.

There's a click of her tongue when her gaze zeroes in on the wound and the work in progress stitches. "Give it here. You're going to fuck them up at this angle." Daisy murmurs, one hand going to bat his away and the other held out to take the needle and thread from his grasp.

The faintest hint of a grin tugs at her lips, a glint in her eyes as her gaze meets his. "By the way, red's not your color. Just so you know."

[venombloom]

"That indeed is the house specialty. Although, not everyone is as passionate about the art as me or others." There's no hiding how Daisy slightly perks up at the mention of her house and craft. The note of pride in her tone turns into something more playful when she replies to his jest. "Rest assured, I never mastered the domestic artistry of cooking. I'm quite terrible at it so there's no chance I'll be in the rotation." Mostly true. In another life, she had been decent at the skill.

At his inquiry in regards to a hypothetical contract her movements waver and her gaze focuses in on Davrin. A brow quirks. Silence lingers between them for a beat longer till she speaks again. "Under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't." A vague, non committal answer. In truth, Rook isn't sure what she would; it's too much of a complicated what-if.

"If it's any consolation, contracts on Wardens are, to my knowledge, very rare. Not unheard of. Of course there's the whole incident with the Fifth Blight..." Fingers tenderly stroke along petals and leaves before resuming their work of collecting the blossoms and berries, stashing them in a pouch at her hip. "Is this just a general worry of the possibility or is there actually a reason for a hit to be out on you?"

@venombloom liked for a Davrin starter!

"So, I heard House de Riva excels in poisons?" Davrin asked. "Remind me never to drink anything you hand me."

It's only half a joke, truly. He doesn't know her well enough yet to trust she won't poison him, even if he recognizes he needs her help getting the griffons back. It's mutually beneficial for both of them to keep the other alive.

And as far as he knows, no one has a crow contract out on him. "Would you tell me if there was a crow contract on me, or would I have to find that out that hard way?"

[venombloom]

Never forget that for as comedic and laid back as Daisy maybe, she's still ruthless. She's (purposely) been through 9 hells when it came to Crow training; she survived fighting and torture and with recruits that had at minimum had a decade of experience on her. But she clawed her way through. Just because her brutality is not always present on the surface doesn't mean she's not capable of it. Just because she gives off "newbie" vibes, doesn't mean she's incompetent.

[venombloom]

Good morning. So! I've cleaned up Daisy's bio a bit, got a few more icons made, and started on a verses page. All the links in my pinned are good to go as well!

I've got a couple of things to do reply wise but in the meantime, I'mma try and send out asks and interact with new people but if you wanna leave a lil something in my ask box go for it or hit me up if you're interested in talking dynamics!

[venombloom]

anyways I'm very eager to get more things going. so give the ♡ a lil tap for a starter (length may vary). otherwise feel free to hit me up if you wanna plot or dig through my meme tag!

@witchsabre

"There. All better. Although, you may want to get one of the others to double check it later. I'm better at taking lives than trying to preserve them." Or so it seems sometimes. Professional killer? More like qualified bungler... Yet she hadn't hesitated with attempting to treat Faust's injuries. "Or did you just want me to kiss it better, hm?" A jest. Mostly. She would do it, if asked.

She gives a cut along their cheek one last light dab of healing salve, her gaze gentle. "Maybe I need to start assigning someone to keep an eye on you. You gonna tell me how you managed this?"

Verses

a feather in the dusk (pre-veilguard)

There is no Daisy Castillo. No, now as a part of the Antivan Crows, she is Daisy de Riva. A new name for a new life with a new purpose.

the best is yet to come (pre-veilguard)

when stars fall (veilguard)

Like many things in her life, stopping Solas' ritual didn't go quite right. Now instead of a mad mage, she must combat two ancient elven gods. But on the brightside at least she's got a group to help carry the burden. This is her new contract; and Crows don't quit or fail their contracts. She's not about to start now.

que sera sera (post-veilguard)

snake eater (companion)

the hand that feeds (au: origins/da2)

fresh into her full-fledged membership as a Crow of House de Riva, Daisy hears about the embarrassment brought upon House Arainai and the failed contract. Being the headstrong rookie she is eager to prove herself, Daisy jumps at the chance to hunt down the traitor (even if it means doing so on her own terms).

[venombloom]

she's so gorgeous (more sorta spoilery shots undercut)

[venombloom]

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

@starlixir

"Looks like you can't either."

Golden gaze moves from the neverending sky of the Fade to Nova. A soft smile starts to tug at Daisy's lips. She pats the spot on the steps beside her; an invitation for the other to join her.

"Tell me what's an your mind." Now that is a deflection and distraction from her own troubled psyche; from the melancholia and nightmares that seem to ever claw at her. Anything to not focus on how this is the second night (is it night time in the material world?) she's woken up gasping for air, heart beating like a ticking bomb in panic.

"Promise, no judgement."

[venombloom]

I love the dynamic between Teia and Viago with crow!Rook. But I need to know why Vi is so fond of Rook??? Out of all the fledglings and other members, how did that happen?? Unless there's something in game that I've missed.
