SPEAKS with a deeper timbre than their lithe frame might suggest and is SCENTED with a waft of caramelized apples and summer honey. MOVES with a regal but stiff grace that looks incredibly uncomfortable and falls apart into dreamy absence the moment someone's back is turned. RUMORED to have been born and raised the daughter of the renowned painter Aron Varner, yet later claimed heir and son in order to succeed their father. With Aron now dead, Anneke's talent with the brush and loom makes their true gender identity generally overlooked and disregarded, if often ridiculed. LOOKS for all the world like a lady of the court. Often seen wearing verdant or turquoise silk gowns with their long, auburn red hair done up with pearls; flaming fire against a pale, blue-tinted complexion. They’ve got an owlish, round face with wide, blue eyes and a small mouth spattered with a shock of freckles. Flat chested, which makes it easy to mistake them for a young girl rather than a fully grown adult, with an angular build and awkwardly large feet and hands.

WRITTEN IN VERSES SUCH AS: The Basil Hallward to your Dorian Grey, the unsuitable commoner match to your lordship, the Kaori to your Kousei, the cursed painter who keeps trapping people's souls in their work (by accident? by design?), The Ophelia to your Hamlet - and many more.

✧✧✧ DESIRE / DEVOTION. a series of dialogue and concept based prompts. change verbiage and pronouns as needed. (send + reverse if desired.) some nsfw concepts within.

dialogue.

the fabric of the universe wraps around us.

i am yours. even in this waiting, i am yours.

in every universe, i want it to be you and me.

i hunger for your taste, your smell, the feel of your soul touching mine.

i know no end to desiring you.

are you really mine? were you created for me?

everything leads me back to you.

the heart knows when the search for love is over.

i'm prepared to be devastated by you.

the sky is full of stars, yet i seek the twinkle in your eyes.

even if fate unraveled our destinies, i would find my way back to you.

i was never meant to love so casually. i was meant to be consumed by you, undoubtedly obsessed with you.

concepts.

red string theory - our muses discover they are soulmates. no matter how many degrees of separation between them or how often they just missed one another, the moment they meet, they just know.

body worship - our muses are undeniably infatuated with one another and spend the afternoon entangled, extremely loving and caring in bed.

spoken vow - sender makes a vow to forever be by the other's side, wholly devoted and loyal to receiver.
