Well, after “introducing” Previous Dani I gave a good ol’ college try at making their instagram profile too. For funsies and all.
Resurrected Dani:
Got Instagram cause their friends egged them on. Forget’s they have it, so doesn’t post often (either once or 4 times a month). Uses it to post pictures of animals they meet (and pet even) or just cool shots of places they go to. Will post cursed pictures of places they come across with no context for fun. Loves memes but is chill about it.

Everything else: Mine, I took them.
Previous Dani:
Got Instagram to blend in, and honestly the concept intrigued them. Posts a couple of times a week, tho sometimes has hiatuses. Uses it to post pictures of animals they meet (and pet even), cool shots of places they see, some slight modest “thirst bait” (aimed at people they suspect might be attracted to them). Will post cursed pictures of weird things they see without context for fun. They dabble in urban exploration so they get quite a few. Noone is above memes and funny sex number.

ok so...i saw @gemarcana and others doing this, and i though it wild be fun and a good way to introduce my apprentice to others also cause i didnt have a lot of time this week to draw and wanted to post something
So....here we go~~
What is their name?
Micah
Who named them? Was is their birth name? Did they choose their own name?
Yep is his birth name and it was given by his mom. Before he was born his parents maked a bet where if the baby was male his mom would pick the name but if it was a girl then his dad would be the one picking it
fun fact: his dad loved the name Cordelia for a daughter
What does their name mean?
The name Micah is a name of Hebrew origin meaning "who is like the Lord” and it was the name of a biblical prophet who denounced oppression by the ruling classes
Why did you choose that name for your apprentice?
i love the name Micah and its the name that I use the most on the internet idk what more to tell u xD
Do they have any nicknames or favourite pet names?
Micah likes more giving pet names than getting them and only when they are alone
Asra: things like dear or sweetheart
Valerius: doll, dear or even witch (its all in the tone he use)
but if you call him baby or something like that its a big NO and probably won’t talk to u for like 5 min or something
Okay! So, anonymous sent an ask for 16 from the apprentice meme will all my apprentices (and i did something stupid and somehow deleted it)
So here we go
16. Name one thing your apprentice wants to see happen, or say to someone.
Samantha: She wants to see Vesuvia recover from the events of three years ago. It still hangs over the city like a dark cloud, haunting it's residents. She hopes Nadia's efforts will help.
Eirian: Wants to tell Asra that he worries for him. After finding out about the deal he made to bring him back, he can't help but think about it constantly. What does this mean for him? What does it mean to only have half a heart?
Cleo: Really wants to be able to ask Asra for that love advice. She's terribly worried. She knows she can be a bit naive and she doesn't want to seem like an in experienced child, especially because she has a thing for a mature woman like Nadia. "So stop with teasing and yes I need love advice -"
Lee: Wants to see the masquerade return to Vesuvia (little does she know-). She's fascinated with the idea of an event that she can just go to and dance. If there is ever another she already has ideas for a dress she could make.
.
.
.
(It was actually harder to pick one thing then I thought. It was fun though! Thank you for your ask!!)
Feel free to send me a number! You can request an apprentice or I'll just pick one (or you can request all of them)
[5am is a good time to write, becauses here I have an ESSAY]
9. What is your apprentice’s natural stress response (fight, flight, or freeze) and how does that influence their actions when confronted with a stressful situation? Do they recover from stress quickly or does it affect them for hours afterward?
Fight, most definitely. At least in the past. Enchanting weapons and armor means testing enchanted weapon and armor and their mentor had no qualms in making Áine and fellow apprentice Kal spar to test their magic’s endurance. Fast reflexes, react, fight back.
And given that Áine (aged 15) challeneged Lyall (master magician) in the street because she was stressed and angry, she’s very much inclinded to fight back, even with the odds against her. She hates to give up. In some ways it’s part stress relief, fast and effective but not very smart. Probably not good for her either, she doesn’t like to talk about feelings.
Áine never really knew true stress until she moved to the city but even then, fight was still her response. She fucked up a lot sure, but she still fought it and others, to get to where she is today. Maybe it’s related to the memory loss.
When it comes to emotional stress, either through conflict or general life woes, she won’t let herself dwell on it. A heated arguement will be settled quickly or stopped before it has time to get out of control. She doesn’t like to fight with words.
You know Áine is really stressed if she cant sit still. Nowadays, it’s most apparent when Asra returns to the shop and everything is prestinely clean and organised or if Áine’s personal belongings have been moved around or thrown out. Since losing her memories, she takes out her frustration on things that ‘belonged to her former self’, a lot of really nice clothes and trinkets got thrown out or sold. I’d imagine Asra’s had to watch her discard something she once held dear, all because she can’t remember how much she loved it when he gave it to her.
If it’s something that can’t be fought off, like that empty feeling of loss she tries hard to ignore, Áine will sing, alone. Hoping the tears will stop, hoping the pain will stop. And as she falls asleep, her dreams take her to a long forgotten place, of blue skies and fields of gold and in that she will find some solace.
11. How does your apprentice act when meeting new people? Are they outgoing, shy, awkward, aloof? Do they like being the center of attention?
Cordial but wary, Áine finds it hard to trust a new face. Partly because she worries she’s met them before and can’t remember. If she really doesn’t want your company she will tell you straight up, but when approached with some friendly banter or a good joke, maybe a bottle of rum or limoncello (if you happened to know it was her favorite, she’d probably kiss you) Áine is more willing to give you her time.
In the shop, it’s different, she’s learned how to be inviting and helpful when someone comes looking for a certain incense or rare ingredient. There are some regular customers that she even gets excited to see. But if she doesn’t know you and intuition tells her, you are dodgey af, she’s going to seem aloof or standoffish.
Center of attention? FAR from it. Áine can’t help but get into situations that cause her to be center of some commotion, which she hates.
