How would digital circus Ari fare if she was sucked into the scary door with Kinger and Pomni in episode 3 👀
i think she would've actually had a good time, she does love horror! she'd treat it as much like a haunted house attraction as possible
if she didn't break any of her body parts, at least; as soon as she's incapacitated in some way she just wants pretty much any adventure to be over as soon as possible
but she's definitely the type of person to complain if a horror movie doesn't scare her, she wants to get scared. she was really looking forward to going through that door AND JAX RUINED IT 🙄
REGENT: To start with, never apologize for lengthy questions or the like. Minute details help piece together a better understanding of an individual, so honestly, the longer-slash-more-detailed the question, the better.
REGENT: Secondly, I’m flattered. .)
REGENT: As to the question at hand, I think you’ve probably got a good read on them from the get-go, but just saying “yeah sounds about right” would be anticlimactic, uncharacteristic of me, and would honestly sound like something Dirk would say. So, I’m gonna do as we Seers are wont to do and take something simple and answer it in a more complicated way than it deserves to be said.
REGENT: In regards to the Lord part; that sounds spot-on. Ruthless, domineering, petty, obsessive, spiteful, rampant - these traits all fairly accurately describe the nascent Lord. It is possible for a Lord to move past this stage of personal being, tempering their worse determinations with wisdom and compassion, but such is rare.
REGENT: As for the Aspects, I can easily rule out Breath, if only because it is an element which deals largely in freedom and forward movement; restlessness, personal liberty, and constant action are the hallmarks of Breath, and such traits would likely be magnified and perverted - but not inverted - by being fixed upon a Lord.
REGENT: Void is a fairer secondary possibility; the Aspect of lack, absence, secrets and obfuscation. It is certainly possible for a Lord of Void to manifest their connection to the Void through omission - active or otherwise. After all, Void is intrinsically connected to the Aspect of Light - that of knowledge - and so would easily manifest through “hiding knowledge”, in a manner of speaking.
REGENT: But, I think Heart is the most appropriate aspect for this Heiress. Heart is the Aspect of the Self, and as such - and I say this with full respect to all the Heart players I know - those with a strong connection to the Aspect are strongly self-oriented. Self-reflecting, self-obsessive, selfish - and refusing outside assistance to do things oneself isn’t uncommon at all for the Heart-Bound.
REGENT: Not all Heart players have to deal with multiple unique splinter-existences from themselves as Dirk does; sometimes they have to deal with self-discovery, and sometimes - as would be the case with the Heiress in question - it can simply be a matter of having two separate “faces”. One of honey-tongued benevolence, and one of cruelty and spite.
REGENT: Now, granted, this does kind of all boil down to “gut feeling backed by extensive study”, so it should be taken with its measure of salt, but after a handful of years researching this subject, I reckon I’ve got a very good handle on feeling these things out accurately.
REGENT: Hopefully you found this assessment either - preferably both - agreeable and informative, and I hope I never have the displeasure of running into that Heiress.
REGENT: That’s...Kind of a difficult question, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest one being that, while Titles can provide insights into the personalities of people, they don’t really hold up as a means to judge romantic viability between two Titles.
REGENT: ‘Cause, sure, in theory, a double-passive - let’s say Rogue of Hope - who can develop synergistic insights into the opposite Aspect might be able to serve as a foil to the Witch, it’s extremely reductive to assert any Class/Aspect combo as being best suited for a romantic relationship with another.
REGENT: The Witch could hate the Rogue, the Rogue could be too afraid of the Witch to help, they could just simply not know each other and not interact, and beyond that, the Titles themselves would likely have minimal impact on anything to begin with, in this case.
REGENT: If the Witch is rampaging, it is possible for it to be caused by their affinity for Rage; the denial of a thing, the abject refusal to accept it as a fact or possibility - but it’s much more likely that there’s something more closely related to the circumstances the Witch is in.
REGENT: I apologize for...What effectively amounts to a non-answer, but if you’re gauging romantic compatibility, it’s better to assess the people themselves and their connections to each other, rather than judge it based on their Titles.
