OOC | Joff & Elyne
Elyne is a delight 10/10 would agree esp if the judges are all Joff like she’s super fun, amusing, kind, and capable!!! What more could you want out of a person?????? I ~do think he looooves to tease her bc…he be like that, but in her case it’s def affectionate <3
Haha omg, it is soooo easy to tease her tho??? Like half the time it goes over her head haha and half the time she’s basically asking for it w/o realizing it just bc she’s just a mess <33
But I feel like Elyne would like Joff a lot, too! Honestly, she likes and believes in most people (she even likes rob!? altho idk like might be a strong word haha but she doesn’t think he’s that bad -- meanwhile he’s literally murdering and kidnapping her friends #facepalm) ANYWAY ... I didn’t make Joff an official member of the resistance when I wrote his bio, but I can see him being a part of it, if you want??? Especially since his older bro is? But I can also see where Ancel might keep his involvement in it from his bro in order to protect him? So I can see that going either way???? Anyway, I think that would obviously impact how much they see each other/what their exact relationship is!
In other news, if he isn’t in the resistance but his bro is but it is a secret and Joff and Elyne are friends, I can see her letting it slip accidentally #whoops :)
Can't Slow Down | Elyne & Ivette
ivettebryant:
Ivette laughed with Elyne, wrinkling up her nose. “Not at all! I simply meant that you must be quite breathless. It may be little to you, but you’ve come a long way, and running all the while!” But then, Ivette was aware that distances seemed more extreme to her than they probably did to others. She had rarely been allowed to venture much beyond Valerian’s own keep and had, thus, seen very little of this world.
In fact, Ivette liked even just the mention of the north. She was hugely curious about Aragoth and always had been. Having come from such a tiny island nation, the vast breadth of Aragoth proved nearly unthinkable and she often traced its outline in her mind: the wild South she was growing to know, but the untamed west, the glittering east, the frigid north all remained mysterious to her and Ivette wished, someday, to see it all. She had no idea when she might ever make such a journey, but it was a pleasant thing to contemplate.
Ivette grinned, “Fortunately, I was trained in how best to go unnoticed, so I think we shall make a most formidable team in this,” she said, merrily. Ivette clasped her hand to her mouth as she giggled. “Well, perhaps it proved a wonderful bonding experience,” she pointed out, half-serious, half-teasing. “Baking is much more complicated than it gets credit for, so I tend to think it’s rather a blessing that you had a cohort in the matter. Besides, it might have been a pleasant way to remember his mother on that day.” There were things Ivette still did, of the kind, just to feel closeness to her own mother. It was a blessing to think of her in that way, still, rather than focusing on her awful fate.
Ivette shrugged. “I gather some things are better. People aren’t forced to remain together, after love has fled and, I grant you, the…kinks haven’t been worked out of the system, but to those who are free, there are many perks.” She didn’t precisely condone most of the practices in the Southern Isles - in fact she vehemently protested many of them - but she knew it wasn’t all bad. There might even be some good things that both societies might learn from one another.
“I have no doubts,” replied Ivette, brightly. “I’ve hardly ever seen too people more in love than Cris and Ana and I’m certain their nuptials shall reflect that.” Ivette would be sad to part with Ana, she could admit that, but she was glad, too, that she was moving on to something bigger and better. “Are there any particular…traditions I should be prepared for?” she inquired. She wondered if being an inmate of the bride’s home required any duties that she, perhaps, had to foreseen.
Nodding, Ivette’s brows arched happily as she released a breath. “I can hardly believe it, but…yes! He did!” The possibilities of such a discovery were endless and Ivette felt overwhelmed with the hope of it. She clasped her hand to her abdomen. “This makes everything possible in a way we never hoped before. It seems surreal, but I’m confident,” she said. “That it must be some sort of sign.”
“Oh.” Elyne was rendered speechless. It was a rare thing Ivette had managed to do. Elyne was not so naive as to believe that all marriages in Aragoth were lovematches (in fact, she knew that few of them are), but to hear Ivette say that love faded suddenly made Elyne very sad. She supposed it must, sometimes, and if it did, wasn’t it better that the Southern Isles allowed for such a separation? Still, the idea that two people who once loved each other very much, should not live out their days happily together made her feel like crying.
She bit her lip. “I don’t suppose such a thing would happen to Ana and Cris? The two of them falling out of love, I mean. They seem so very much in love now. You’ve never seen two people love each other, as they do, fall out of it have you?” The words came tumbling out before she realized that she would almost rather not know such a terrible thing had happened (and therefore could happen to her (or worse!) one of her friends).
“Weddings in Aragoth are, overall, much simpler. Of course, royal and noble weddings are grand affairs which celebrations that last all day and night. When the queen marries, they except it to cost over two hundred and seventy gold dragons! I cannot even fathom possessing even one gold dragon, let alone having so many that I could spend so many on a wedding alone!” She hadn’t even seen a gold dragon coin in her life. Once, a very generous anonymous donor had given the orphanage a silver crown. It had been so rare and beautiful, she had wished she hadn’t needed to spend it.
“Even though Cris is from a noble house, I imagine that this one will be short and intimate. Ana will need to spend the day before in solitary prayers, but there isn’t much to the actual ceremony, itself. They will stand before a priest and make vows to both the gods and each other. This is followed by a few prayers and -- oh!” She stopped short at this sudden thought, “Perhaps a new dragon rider will be there!” She took Ivette’s hand, “It is a great honor to have a dragon rider as a wedding guest. And if he or she should given them a special blessing, I’m sure it will help to ensure their happiness!”
She felt a new sense of comfort and hope at this prospect, especially after what Ivette had just told her. She could not have known then, that the new dragon rider would prove to be a curse, and not a blessing, for the marriage.
7/9 friendships → the resistance
ooc | Elyne & Avina
JENN!!!
So like Avina, Elyne is also a member of the southern resistance, so she would most definitely know Avina! Anyway, she’s very friendly, but can be kinda hyper/talkative and potentially a little overwhelming to someone who has lived most of their life in a cave w/ limited social interaction??? HAHA I’m sorry about her but her heart’s in the right place <3
ELYNE DREST / elizabeth lial
♦ Age: (22) ♦ Relationships: Mary Marsel (friend), Everard “Ned” Barret, Cristofur “Cris” Barret, Frederyc “Ric” Barret, Cassandrya “Ana” Moysaunt, Avina Moysaunt, Ivette Bryant (fellow resistance members) ♦ Description: For the past five years, Elyne has been in charge of the orphanage in the Southern capital. The wars with the Southern Isles has increased the children she has to care for and even with help from Rob Barret, the orphanage remains drastically underfunded. She has made several pleas to Loys Mortain, only to be referred to his step-mother, who has shown a blatant disregard for the quality of life these children will have. Elyne knows that the South needs a different lord and the country a different Queen. She joined the resistance and she would gladly give her life if it meant that the children had a chance at a better future. TAKEN BY LIZZY.

ooc | Lia & Elyne
So Elyne is also from the south + she is in charge of the local orphanage. Anyway, she’s super friendly (and ridiculously talkative I’m so sorry) and I can see her chatting w/ Lia if she ever saw her in town?? Also them possibly bonding over the fact that they both are orphans/think they are orphans who don’t anything about their families???
make me choose - OUAT edition:
∟ konatamoonieasked Anna or Tinker Bell
OOC | Loys & Elyne
I feel like, if Loys ever met Elyne, he’d like her bc she’s tender and strong and pretty and he’s like ~sighhhh But then Celia comes along and she’s the pearl of his world what can I say and poor Elyne is forgotten. But still, hahaha, I feel like he’d def like her and if she asks for money he like slips it whispering “Don’t tell Mother” and like you are literally the Warden of the South, dude, if you wanna give her some money, you give her some money, but that concept makes no sense to Loys???????
AHAHAHAH omg Loys. But that's probs how they met, tbh? Like, I feel like Elyne has been all "yo, my orphanage is wayyyy under funded and we need some help, like these peeps are the future of the south" and Margery's like "Ugh don't care. they should have thought about that b/f they became orphans." (not even sure i'm kidding about that being actual dialogue)
And Elyne's like, "....."
And I think she's probably even been like ~let me speak with the warden, but Margery's always been like "he's too busy to deal with you" but yeah, if loys ever snuck away and gave her money, she'd be so grateful (but also wayyy confused b/c WARDEN OF THE SOUTH like ????? why is he sneaking around???)
ooc | Elyne & Adam
So this is Elyne! She's super happy and energetic and kinda a mess, ha. But she's a v friendly person and I'm sure she would like Adam and probs talks his ear off. Anyway, she runs the local orphanage and obvi Adam was old enough to take care of himself after his mom died, but I feel like Elyne was that person that baked him a bunch of stuff when she did.
I’m, unlike y o u, nice.
OOC | Lysander & Elyne
I CRY Lysander’s soooo gonna be, “This chick gets it,” basically. I mean, as long as he doesn’t know about her ~rebel tendencies whoops ;DDDDDDD HAHAHAHA making Rowena realize Dezod whiping tears of mirth from his eyes in the bg tbqh “Good luck with that”
THEY ARRRE the happiest ppl in Aragoth like idek bc…I mean, basically everyone else is a little miserable, but beyond that hahahaha I feel like they’re just v cheerful, optimistic ppl deep down and like it ~shows and it makes me happy that ppl like this can exist in Aragoth (albeit probs not for long I feel like Lysander is like this far from finding out what’s going on and it’ll rock his whole world view poor bb and then he’ll be off living on his wits and that has the potential to end VERY badly bc *Gerard Butler voice* THIS IS ARAGOTH #facepalm)
OMG Lysander would TOTALLY be like, “WHOA OMG the queen must not know about this I will def let her know as soon as I see her again she would NEVER stand for this thankyou so much for bringing this to my attention” basically bc obv Rowena would NEVER stand for that otherwise And Lysander is soooo ok with being used for his connections for a good cause “That’s why I have those connections!!!!! to help!!!!!!” #facepalm he’s such an idiot I’ll never be ok again. also, her tactful way of addressing this will def go a long way bc he’ll be much more charitably disposed like, “Here’s a real subject in need of your aid, virtuous queen,” rather than getting defensive and like YOU HAVE CLEARLY NOT READ MY FIRST SIX BOOKS ON THIS SUBJECT HERE READ THESE YOU’LL SEE THE TRUTH And I can def see him taking a Dickensian moment and addressing this subject in a book or whatever like LYSANDER TO THE RESCUE
Oh, yeah, I def think they’d be friends in their own right!! I feel like they both more or less see the world in the same way and can def appreciate the other’s perspective, even when their ideas do differ *cough*Rowena*cough*
HAHAH, her rebel tendencies oops. I actually feel like Elyne might be talking v fast and easily to him and say something about that ~oops. Not that she'd come right out and be like "i'm part of a rebellion yo" but maybe be like "back at camp" or idk something odd and then backtrack and be like "Whoops did i say camp? b/c i meant ... cottage." Or something. But I do feel like she talks about as fast as she thinks and #wordvomitproblems and I think that it's not too odd for her to be kinda ~spazzy, but she'd be internally freaking out like OMG DOES HE SUSPECT??????!
LOL, yeah it probs won't last forever for Elyne either, but I do think that she'll probs last longer since Lysander, since hIS WOrlD IS GonnA be SHatTERed yo. But in Aragoth you either die or live long enough to become miserable and hten you die so yah.
aLso I cry b/c Elyne manipulating Lysander into helping AHAHAH. I don't think she sees it like that, more of "he can help! and i know he will only want to if i don't blame rowena for it."
ANYWAY. so do you think we're ready to start them?? I mean, if Lysander is gonna be coming back down south/was just down south or whatever haha.
Anna gifset for dragonxborne
OOC | Lysander & Elyne
OMG, so idk if they’d have much of an opportunity to meet bc idk that they run in the same circles, but if they did, I think Lysander would really like and appreciate Elyne and her worldview and her boundless energy and charity and just yessssss
I feel like Elyne would really like Lysander, too, honestly. Even if she thought him wrong on a lot of his ideas, hahahah. Still, I think that Elyne does still truly believe that there is good in everyone (HA ha HA) and that includes Rowena. And while she does agree that it's gone beyond what can be achieved by peaceful methods, I think that she does kinda think that this rebellion is more about making Rowena realize just how selfish she is and how bad things have gotten and #facepalm. Anyway, I think she can definitely see where Lysander's POV comes from.
Also, I feel like these two are legit the happiest people in Aragoth and that makes me happy. ;DD
Oh! So I can see her seeking him out and basically bringing him to the orphanage and showing him how they need help and how the taxes are too high that they aren't allowing them to care for the orphans as they should and like she's not going to be ~blaming Rowena or anything, but basically asking him to let them know up north that they need help and while I don't know that she thinks that this, alone, will get the Queen's attention, maybe it will get the attention of some wealthy lord or something and yes, she's going to use Lysander for his connections. ;DDD
But no, I also think that they could become friends in their own right, too, b/c they are both such easy going/friendly peeps. :))
She’ll be fine. I believe in her. You should too. Because she doesn’t give up on the people she loves. And she always succeeds.
