Presenting my oc Carissa! Aka sister of Agerochus and Philomache!
Jumpscare to @moonlight-dreams912 hehe
•♡♡CARISSA OF DULICHIUM♡♡•
Aka if Agerochus and Philomache had another sibling- Consider this I guess as a gift of my oc?- I don't know- Just wanna showcase her cause I've been keeping her in the dark for too long.
Age: 20, same age as Haneul.
•Agerochus of Dulichium-Eldest, older brother
•Warm and friendly, even those who count as enemies. Carissa will still greet them warmly.
•Easy going-She is patient, doesn't rushed towards things. The kind of person you would talk to. A good listener, the kind of 'think before you speak' thought.
•Kind, responsible, polite and fiercely loyal-but sets clear boundaries.
•Soft-spoken but not meek. If someone overstepped the line she will tell them politely off.
•The peacemaker- like a dove. She often acts as a meditator between rowdy suitors and annoyed servants.
•Humble and hard-working-She believes that she's doing her work well, but not in a way that she sees herself beneath anyone, she knows her current position well.
•Insecure-Sometimes she feel shy or insecure because of how confident her siblings seems to be. Despite knowing that they changed for greaterness. She hides this to a friendly and warm facade.
Carissa was born to be the youngest into the once respected noble house of Dulichium. Her childhood seemed to be fine. She was always happy being together with her siblings, Agerochus and Philomache remembering the times where they were little kids. Playing, laughing and crying together.. Those simple times.
That was until everything changed. Carissa once nourished with love and attention, became overlooked as she got older, she tried helping Agerochus, reminding him that his not alone, or even talk to Philomache.. But.. Its all different. She watched as her mother raised Agerochus and Philomache into what she didn’t expected. Philomache had grown her pride into vanity and of course, cruelty, while Agerochus had became what Carissa could say. A hawk, ambitious and a watchful predator.
And yet, she stayed with the two despite they are no longer the two little siblings she used to know, to play, to laugh, nor cry together with. Why? She had one wish, to be a peacemaker, a dove. To be a harmony seeker, even if she knew its ridiculous.
So she kept quiet to herself..
So when she get sented by Ithaca, Carissa doesn't seek for power or status-Only perfers her quiet work and sympathizes with Penelope and the staff. This had caught her to struggle choosing between loyalty of her family or empathy's for ithaca people..
-Assigned in domestic and infirmary duties, helping cleaning with the other servants, food preparation, and tending wounds or injuries.
-She eventually meets Haneul in the infirmary, and sometimes gets assigned to be his assistant. The two begin working closely as well as forming a genuine friendship over long hours of work. Haneul works as a guard, so when he is on break, he goes collect seashells and gift it to Carissa. Which Carissa giggled in return, the gentle sound that made him skip his heart fast.
-Sometimes she translates or read messages for servants since she was taught as a noblewoman.
Agerochus: Strict relationship. Although Carissa is still polite towards him and treat him like the brother she once knew.. She doesn’t like his ambitious aura despite knowing the reason why. She is concern about him and often asks him if he's okay or have eaten yet. Brings him some food or water.
Philomache: Complicated-Carissa loves her deeply but disagrees with her subtle cruelty towards the other maids or anyone. Thinks her weaponized vanity is dangerous, however she still checks up to Philomache. Often scolding her gently. Carissa doesn't trust Klearete but she is trying to be friendly towards them, especially Chloris. (She feels pity about Chloris but she sees her nice too.)
Haneul-Close friend, growing mutual crush. Carissa sneaks him dried fruits from the kitchen and give him one during outside of shifts. She admires his sense of duty and kindness. The only man that could get her to laugh, yes she thinks he is adorable even he is clumsy and not from a high noble status.
Haneul is one of Malachi’s guard, his info can be seen from this previous ask:
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
Telemachus, Malachi and the Web Cavalry-Respects Telemachus, get intimidated by Malachi at first but warms up to the group slowly.
Penelope-Respects her deeply. Sees her as a mother figure, sides with her against the suitors.
Her favorite gift would be honeyed figs and sea jewelry.
Likes to collect sea shells and feathers and hides them in a box under her bed.
She loves embroidery, she once tied Sol's feet with pink ribbons. Sol is Haneul pigeon companion and bird messenger of the palace.
She and Haneul secretly meet together at night, they sometimes do late-walk at nights outside the palace gardens.
Carissa is not a fighter, but she has excellent aim with thrown objects. (Once knocked a cup to a rude suitor's hand off guard without blinking.)
When Carissa laughs, she does the soft coos sounds that a dove makes.
She is insecure of her hair color, she tries ignoring it by tying up her hair or focus at work.
Her eye colors are based on this:
