The happiest moment in your life?

Probably when I got my job! I was so nervous, and we were in such desperate need of money. I didn’t have any experience, but... they let me prove I was worth keeping. I’m so happy they did!

She doesn’t blame them for doubting her skill – after all,she’s never worked before, she doesn’t have any record to speak of. They foundways to get around it, to make themselves legal and safe, her ID is legitimateenough that eventually, her begging and applying as much Charm as she could getaway with had them reluctantly allowing her a day to prove her worth.

Dishwashing, to start, as well as cleaning. It was hardwork, her feet ached, she ran back and forth with loads that were just undertoo heavy and serving guests water with trembling hands. ‘You’re too young forthis work, little lady,’ the guests would comment, but just as often theytalked about how sweet she was, how cute, how nice it was to see such a warmsmile greeting them and speaking so politely.

Very nearly she was still turned away, handed a small wad ofcash and asked to leave, but the waiters, oh the waiters, they begged rightbeside her. Their tips had skyrocketed around tables that the girl helped with,they said, you can’t kick her out now!

When Luel made it home she was damp from rain and sweat, herfeet begged her to buy better shoes with the money she’d left the restaurantwith, the small cuts she’d gained when she tried to pick up a glass she brokewere still stinging even after they’d stopped bleeding. But it was all worth itto be able to show up to their home with promises to help keep them fed, toprove she’d been worth saving, to prove that she could be even more useful thanLamia had ever thought.

HC + Books

((Luel has a very one track mind with books, and only reads to further her knowledge on fairies (whether that’s fairy Pokemon, general lore, literally anything fae-related goes.) 

Anything other than that doesn’t interest her. She doesn’t like fantasy books, because she’s only interested in things that have history to them and they muddle up the things she believes to be true about fairies. She doesn’t like history because standard history bores her. Horror, action/adventure, poetry and the like generally only serves to make her sad with their topics.

Besides, she’s never really had the money to buy good amounts of books, and she works too much to make use of a library (and is wary of accidentally gaining fines for books), so why would she waste time on the unimportant ones?))

Fire agate, copper, coral, mica?

Fire agate:if my muse is brave or cowardlyOverall, Luel is afraid of a great deal of things. But she’s also always willing to terrify herself to help others - for example, a child just got their toy stuck to a Spinarak web? She’s probably trembling and crying in fear as she makes herself reach for it.Copper:how I think my muse will end up when they're olderPersonally, I don’t see her changing too much on her own. If left to her own devices, she will continue to be only mildy in control of her abilities, only mildly capable of taking care of herself, and incredibly concerned about helping others in any way that she can.Coral:how my muse views the natural worldShe sees the world as an absolute wonder, full of opportunities. Humans, she’s not so sure about, because they generally have more destructive tendencies than Pokemon do, but they’re also capable of being quite great! That and, arguably, she is human...Mica:what my muse views as their worst personality traitThat she takes insults so personally. She’s very thin skinned, and when people find ways to insult her, it hits very deeply. Not that she’ll let it keep her from being a good person! But it definitely sticks with her the rest of the day.

pyrite, bloodstone

Pyrite: a physical health headcanonBecause of her Natural Cure, she’s very bad at actually taking care of herself. She generally doesn’t know what to do if she’s sick other than to sleep it off, and suffer through it until she gets to the point where she can. This also applies to others, although she makes some form of effort to ease their pains when they’re sick.

Bloodstone: how my muse sees themself as part of the world at largeLuel is incredibly confused about her place in the world, simply because she has no clue what role she played in her abduction. 

She supposes she must be the stolen human child, because she’s never heard about what happens to them but it must be like what happened to her, right? And that would make her valued. But with the powers she possesses, it would also make sense that she was the abandoned changeling, which puts her value very very low seeing as you don’t leave something valuable in careless human hands.

Overall, she simply tries to give the world her best face, and hope that it helps even just one person. She dislikes thinking about her worth in terms of her past, and focuses on the present and future!

moss agate, apophyllite, and carnelian

Moss agate: if my muse has a high or low opinion of themselfOverall, Luel likes herself well enough. She’s a hard worker, she takes care of the ones she loves, and she believes that she does a good job of making the world just a little brighter with acts of kindness.Apophyllite: my muse's religious/spiritual beliefsShe’s not sure what she believes as far as gods go, but she is incredibly heavily interested in fairy lore, enough to place it into pieces of her own life as explanations for things that have happened.Carnelian: an art-related headcanonLuel absolutely adores the piano, despite never having the money or means to get lessons. Often, the pianist the restaurant hires on for live entertainment comes early or stays late, to give her pointers, but since the only piano she knows of is at the restaurant, it’s not like she gets much practice.
