TAGGING: lovely @rosewaterhag tagged me to talk a bit about one of my wardens and i’m honoured, thanks love ♥
please tell me about your ocs (this can be applied to non-wardens as well!) @denerim @monoshikis @perishx @noonvraith @viciousparisian @delsinsfire and everyone who feels like it!
APPEARANCE:
→ her hair is platinum blonde, bordering on matte white which she keeps in a high ponytail. as a child, Naeryn wanted to have braids and since she never managed to braid her own hair, the elder women of the clan always tended to her hair
→ Naeryn’s skin is tan but used to be quite pale. the summers in the Brecilian Forest can be unbearably warm and sunny and since she always roamed the woods when she had time, the sun tinted her skin to a more browning tone.
→ she has high cheekbones for a female elf and thin lips. her eyes are quite small as well, as is her build. she has always been smaller than the other girls in her clan.
→ she wears the simple version of the Dirthamen vallaslin
PACK ITEMS:
→ food for Aristoteles, her mabari from Ostagar
→ soap for her hair.
→ several pouches for collecting ingredients (mostly for poison making)
→ whetstone and sharpener
HANDWRITING/SIGNATURE:
she cannot write and read properly because she never showed interest in it when the Clan elder taught the youngsters. when she joined the Wardens, she tried to pick it up again and she can write her name and sign papers but her writing is wonky and choppy.
APPROVAL
NAERYN APPROVES:
→ asking about elven lore
she loves talking about the elven gods and she appreciates if people acknowledge and respect her beliefs.
→ being straight-forward and honest
even if the truth can be somewhat bitter at times, Naeryn likes it when people are forthright (even if they show blunt disdain towards her, she likes to know what people think)
→ humour
she likes dry and/or crude humour.
NAERYN DISAPPROVES:
→ overall bad treatment of elves
Dalish and City Elves alike have been treated badly by humans and Naeryn holds a grudge against all humans (at first) and she is suspicious even of Duncan. upon first seeing the Denerim alienage she is aghast to see what the elves have to put up with (and how they let humans treat them) - she will probably lose it if she sees such abuse first-hand.
→ human aristocracy
she just doesnt get it (especially the choices she had to make in Denerim, when she had to *save Connor [*she didnt]) and she doesnt care about royal hierarchies.
→ wasting food and resources
she grew up using everything that nature gave them and so she greatly disapproves when someone wastes food and natural resources such as wood, hide and metal.
ROMANCING NAERYN:
GIFTS:
→ gems
her belongings have always been scarce and she likes shiny things.
→ metal lock picks and keys
highly useful, she appreciates human and dwarven crafts such as lock picks and keys (she always used animal bones for similar purposes)
→ A Fine Toothcomb
A Fine Toothcomb. Intricated design. Highly impractical but pretty to look at.
ENTERING COMBAT:
→ “[DJ Khaled voice] another one” [jk]
→ “Follow my lead.”
→ “I’ll point out the weaknesses, you serve the killing blow.”
→ “Try to aim for the head. If it has a head.”
→ ”Sticks and stones will break your bones.”
EXITING COMBAT:
→ "At least you died fighting huh.”
→ “What a waste.”
→ “I was just getting started....”
→ [dusts self off]
DEATH:
→ “...what? How ...??”
→ “Is this... all my blood...?”
→ “I’m.... cold... why do I feel cold...”
→ “who’s there... Tamlen, why are you here...?”
TENT INVITATIONS:
[non-sexual implications]
→ ”Just follow me.”
→ “I need help with this letter I got. The words are too difficult for me to understand.”
→ ”I’m very tired and I don’t want to sleep alone tonight.”
TENT REJECTIONS:
→ "No.”
→ [looks her opponent up and down and shakes her head]
→ “We can find you a brothel in Denerim, I’m sure.”
→ “I said no.”
