THIS SORT OF THING WAS A LITTLE FUNNY, come to think of it. two people who have long since been dead, only brought to life through something as flimsy as a holy grail, seeking out ghosts for a prize. honestly? she wasn't against working with the berserker in this scenario. though not an avenger, the classifications were close enough. ❝ It's been a little while since we last saw one. That means there should be one around here, correct? ❞ at least by logic standards one should be, right?
golden eyes remain peeled, halting upon a picture on the wall that, when she takes a step, wobbles just a little strangely. so, she pauses, staring directly at it before she speaks up again.
❝ ... I think this is one of those stupid ghosts. Give it a bonk, Berserker. ❞
IT WAS A SPECTACULAR SIGHT, to say the least. an array of sparkles glittering in the air, becoming a vibrant image of a large, draconic creature that soars through the sky itself. and, of course, the one responsible for it would be beaming, needing a chance to gloat to the nearest person. ❝ The one we just saw is mine. Fufu, is it not great? ❞ even her features beam with delight at it, all too smug by it.
❝ I bet you cannot beat it, not in a million years! ❞ well, it's as they say: the higher they fly, the farther they fall, right?
WATCHING THE SIGHTS FROM AFAR, it was strangely peaceful for the avenger to witness. beautiful lights float within the ocean, accompanied by a myriad of people who wish to swim among them, as if it were a sea of stars one were meant to indulge in. not her, though, the way she simply observes -- it was better this way, especially in the wake that she wasn't that great at swimming to begin with.
when another person steps up, she can only recognize her as a fellow servant. was she here to just watch, too? ❝ Oi. This spot is taken. What? Why don't you go swim with the others or something. ❞ brash as always, she tries to nudge her away, only to jump to a conclusion out of nowhere...
❝ Wait. Don't tell me you can't swim or something like that? ❞ jalter, you seem to be projecting just a little bit.
"Y--yeah! Exactly! That means he can't take my damn sandwich from me, so let me eat it in peace!" Just as she went to take another bite, Susie could feel the underside of her sandwich.. warming up? No, wait, it was really hot, like burning her fingers??
"Agh! What the hell--?!" she then dropped it in surprise, noticing the flames on it?!
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY SNACK YOU DAMN FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Man, if god existed, he wouldn't make me deal with your annoying ass again, yet here you are." She's just gonna eat her long sandwich whilst not breaking eye contact. At all.
❝ That just means God doesn't exist, idiot! You only proved my point! ❞ and she'll stare right back. though is that the smell of fire under some of the bread...? here, susie, try a toasted long peanut butter jelly sandwich—
❝ What? What. The. Hell. If God truly exists, even He would shun that awful creation your just made. Maybe you with it. ❞ she doesn't know what she's witnessing really but...
while known as the existence of jeanne d'arc, the famed saint of orleans who once lead armies in war during the hundred years war, to say she is the genuine article would be a lie. rather, she is merely a shadow, born of a desperate wish by a man named gilles de rais who once longed for her resurrection. through this, she became known as the dragon witch, becoming a servant of the avenger class, who sought to lay waste france and, overall, the world in the wake of her hatred and anguish. of course, such desires never came to fruition, chaldea itself putting an end to her schemes before she eventually became summoned by the very same master who brought her defeat.

PLATONIC
一 ⠀ friendship. ⠀ so, this might be a little rough with jalter given her essence as an avenger, but it's not entirely impossible! jalter here is not used to friends and really could use some, especially those who persevere through people who push others away and are generally more tsun. but trust me, once you're friends and have a close bond, jalter will be protective of you and threaten others who try to do anything to you and will even die for you and for the betterment of the world if she sees fit.
一 ⠀ allies. ⠀ jalter will always look for people she can "use" and who will "use her back" in some way, believing that her existence's worth is defined by the value people can get out of her as an avenger. it's better, in her mind, to have people on your side when the time comes. as an avenger, she's aligned more to lawful evil, though she never can quite escape those rays of sunshine no matter how much she claims to be sickened by them. one thing i will say is the master/servant slot is already taken up, but allies in general are just as good to her!
一 ⠀ manga/otome buddies. ⠀ is your character into manga or otome? do they want to be part of someone's weird schemes to making her own or just want to discuss it with someone? jalter is your gal! honestly, she's happy to learn more about different stories and have help writing her own.
一 ⠀ religion. ⠀ this one is kind of a doozy. jalter, as essentially a fictional piece of jeanne d'arc, has heavy ties with religion. her biggest joy is denying god and gods in the face of believers to see their reaction and tear it down. of course, that's also stemming from her own relationship with religion, stating things like "if god exists, then certainly i'll receive divine punishment." if you want someone to argue with over such concepts or the like, then she's definitely someone steeped in religious talk and symbolization.
一 ⠀ enemies. ⠀ this one is exceedingly easy with her. just about anyone can become an enemy to her, but especially those who cross the path she's currently set herself on. jalter, herself, is a negative entity who will lash out depending. her view of righteousness is a skewed one and sees murder as just that: a means. while she isn't trigger happy about going on killing sprees anymore, that won't stop her if she truly believes someone is getting in her way or the way of her master. that being said, it's far easier to end up on this particular list than becoming a friend with her due to her abrasive and "lawful evil" nature despite her sacrificial moments.
ROMANTIC
一 ⠀ crushes. ⠀ hoo boy. if you somehow get a crush on jalter? congrats! she's a grade a tsun who doesn't know how to handle things as this all that well. you're more than welcome to go this route if you'd like, though! whether it lasts a week or several months to however long you want. just know that this is meant more as a fleeting thing than really endgame plans.
一 ⠀ unrequited/one-sided. ⠀ much like crushes, you are very much welcome to fall in love with jalter if you'd like. does that mean she'll return said feelings? possibly not, given how she is with this sort of thing. from the "memories" she has of being jeanne d'arc, she's used to people adoring her and usually rebuts these things, as seen often with gilles. you will not gain her favor just because you're in love with her and it'll be like picking a rose straight from a prickly rose bush with no protection at any given time.
一 ⠀ love. ⠀ jalter is someone who is hard to offer love given her nature as an avenger, but that doesn't mean that she's an endless void who can't. she's someone who is filled with a lot of self-hatred for herself, seeing her existence reliant on what someone can get out of her as a tool than anything. so to accept someone loving her for nothing in return? receiving unconditional care and concern without expecting anything of her? she would find it hard to digest, but not impossible to reciprocate. however, it will take a long time for her to come to trust this person to not burn her as she's been done many times in the past and, once she sees signs of that happening, she will react with a violent resolve as to not let herself be hurt again like she has been over and over again through the betrayals of her "original" life. but if you'd like to see how she works with a character or talk it out, feel free to ask and we can chat it up!

MAYBE SHE WAS BEING A LITTLE TOO OVERCONFIDENT, the way that hands hold the ice that was meant to be her weapon. it was strange, truth be told, to feel something so cold within her grasp, far different from the fiery sword that accompanies her. but so long as that fire burns deep within her does not escape, it should remain in tact, right?
god, she hoped so, at least, otherwise this may be embarrassing—
especially now that golden eyes fall upon her opponent — a young man with white hair, garbed in what seemed like heroic garments. that's what avenger would call them, at the very least, with how brightly they shine against the snow-white tundra. it only serves to fuel her, that smoldering pit within her chest flaring up at the chance to thwart some goody two-shoes, assuming that's what he was. so, she can only help but smirk, firing off some pre-round words as she waits for him to be ready.
❝ Fufufu. Hey, are you ready to meet your maker over there? ❞ perhaps she was taking this a little too seriously, but...
"Uh," He should probably choose his next words very carefully... "When you say burning distance...you don't mean roasting me like a chicken, do ya? Just clarifying before I give any more unwanted compliments."
❝ Fufu... like a Rotisserie. Skewer and all. What? Not into that sorta thing? Guess it's good you aren't a freak like some. ❞ now she looks like she's enjoying this... talk about a bully. ❝ Well? Got anything else to say? ❞ she's waiting, lavi.
❝ And what the Hell does that mean? ❞ and why was he calling her something like that. ugh. ❝ Can't blame them? Sweetheart? That's a lot of gross talk for someone within burning distance. ❞
❝ Oh? Did those Stars really want me back that badly after being gone so long? Talk about desperate much. ❞ if they wanted you around so bad, wouldn't they have just kept you in the first place, jalter?
her fingers are careful with each page, eyes bright as she continues to read. what a lonely thing, to wish to be with people but be unable to do so. it comes almost like a blink when she realizes she has finished and nothing more comes after the final page. “I like it.” her smile is sincere like a spring breeze. “No, that’s wrong. I love it very much. I almost didn’t notice it was over because it was that good.”
but she has to share her other thoughts as well, as much as she does not want to. lying by omission is a bad idea and she does not want to do it. her eyes turn thoughtful. “It needs more space to let the reader breathe.”
MAYBE IT'S JUST THE EAGERNESS that lingers in her eyes, offering an intensity that many others might flee from, were they any less than the caster. were it anything else, that look alone could ignite a fire on it, that was for sure. and when the other says she likes it, or rather loves it, it's almost like a strange wave of delight that finds the alter's features, a rare sight indeed beyond the select few who saw her being, well... her. ❝ Of course! That just means I'm on the right track then, though, ❞ she can't help but puff up a little, as if a proud parent to some achievement their child had done.
as for the caster's other thought... ❝ Ugh. It was an action scene so I thought I should cram a lot of stuff into it. But I guess you're right if someone can't get what's happening if it's all cluttered. ❞ almost like a deflated balloon, though she seems genuinely grateful about the feedback. ❝ I'll try to remove some of the extra accents and stuff. Would that work? ❞
❝ Halloween is finally showing up? About damn time. They already got costumes lining up on the shelves and candy out on display. I don't get why they're so eager to shove it all out a month ahead of time, but whatever. At least they chose the best holiday for it. ❞ at least it was a holiday she found herself looking forward to compared to most.
● "What? You just want someone to check for errors and make sure it flows properly right? I won't do it for free but if you're offering money then I can probably afford the time." Seeing as she was self-employed anyways she had plenty of free time. She just had to make it.
❝ Isn't that what is supposed to happen? My main thing for this is the content of the story. Feedback, suggestions. As if I would dedicate on something that doesn't have an appeal to others. ❞ always seeking approval in some way despite how simple-minded it likely was. ❝ Oi, why wouldn't I pay you for this? ❞ as if she wouldn't try to get away with some convenient slip of the mind of payment to some degree. in this case, it wasn't so much of an issue, if she could get results. ❝ Just say what you want within reason. ❞
