New Interactions!

Introducing CWE (Chat with Eira) and CWN (Chat with Neve) asks! If you have any questions or comments, start your ask with CWE and Eira will personally answer you, or with CWN and Neve will answer you! :3 (Example ask: CWN do you and Pepi get along?)

So what are you waiting for? 👀

[ask-the-narcana]

Well, whenever you leave the shop, take some time to explore; perhaps, we might even bump into each other ;) And not to worry, Gezi; I have no bad intentions with Eira, I promise. I am just intrigued, that is all. ~💚

There has been much speculation amongst the Narcana over what your intentions could be, so I’m sure Gezi will be relieved to hear that they’re good. I do hope we bump into each other sometime, Arell. After all, it’s only fair that I get to see the color of your eyes now that you know mine.

How did you decide that an ermine would be your MC's familiar?

Honestly, while I’d love to share a fantastic tale of symbolism and creativity behind why an ermine is Eira’s familiar, it unfortunately doesn’t go that deep. xD

I was looking at ferrets on Pinterest cause I personally really want one, but can’t have one yet. I don’t know why an ermine popped up in the feed, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect for Eira’s familiar. I believe my thought process was, “What is that? I love it. I wanna boop the snoot. *gasp* It can be Eira’s familiar!” And from that moment on, an ermine was her familiar. :3

This was the picture that came up on the feed. So cute!! :D

IV VI XVII For the Lore ask list :D

Thanks for the ask, dotr! :D

IV.) How did your MC and their LI first profess their feelings for one another? Was it a slow burn? Love at first sight? Asra: Love at first sight, absolutely. Eira loved everything about him, but loved his sense of adventure the most, as adventuring was something she was forbidden from doing while living in her father’s house. Still, with mutual feelings, it took them both a while to work up the nerve to actually address the topic of love together. In fact, they only approached the topic after they kissed at one of the many Masquerades they attended together.

Julian: Eira realized her feelings for Julian after Asra left during the Plague. Julian, on the other hand, had pined for her basically since the week after the first time he met her. At first, Eira was hesitant to be with Julian since she didn’t want to mistake feelings for the mere absence of Asra in her life in the face of imminent death, and she didn’t want to use Julian like that. Still, she eventually caved and fell hard for him to the point that she married him before ultimately dying of the plague.

VI.) Is your MC combat proficient? Where or whom did they learn from? Eira’s not a black belt or anything by any means, but she knows enough to be able to protect herself. In her “upright ending” with Julian, he teaches her things like sword fighting from his past of being a pirate medic. In either version of her story, she’s more proficient in magical combat than physical combat.

XVII.) What Tarot Card do you think best represents your MC? I’m not that versed in Tarot myself, but according to various quizzes (so legit, I know xD) The High Priestess best represents Eira. :3

ALL of the autumn asks >:3

Since the ask isn’t made for OCs, I Arcanafied a few of the questions. For ease of answering, I’ll be replying to the questions in character (CWE) xD ....I’ll also put all the answers under the cut cause I have no idea how long this will be. ~Admin

lantern - how did you meet your best friend familiar? what were your first impressions of each other? I’ll leave this one for Neve to answer, since she tells the story the best :3 ~~ Neve try catch fish. Fish scary. Fish tail smacc Neve. Other ermine not share fish, Neve have to catch own. Neve not good catch fish. Asra an’ Eira show up! Asra an’ Eira catch fish, share with Neve! Asra an’ Eira leave. Not take Neve. Neve get lonely. Neve miss Eira an’ Asra, an fish. Asra come back! Asra not look an’ Neve hide in bag! Asra take Neve home! Neve surprise Asra an’ Eira at shop! ~~ My first impression of Neve was that she was the cutest little fuzzball I had ever seen xD

frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say? I’d tell her to never let her father’s disappointment get too deeply rooted in her soul; that his words don’t mean as much as the words of others who love her. It’s hard to uproot it even though I have the best of friends as a support system.

maple - is there a hobby/skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did? I’ve always wanted to try needlepoint, but I’ve never really been able to find the time.

harvest - what major arcana do you most identify with? I most identify with my patron; The High Priestess.

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like? It’d be full of dresses of various lengths, as well as varying colors, that would make me feel like a princess whenever I wear them. Of course, I’d also have some outfits with pants, since I’m not really one to wear dresses or skirts 24/7.

cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy? Salads!

amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have. Pumpkin pie isn’t the best pie flavor there is.

fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario? I think I’d do fairly well. Though depending on where my friends are during it, I’d be a nervous wreck as I hope they’d be okay, too. And if it came down to it, I’d absolutely sacrifice myself for them.

jack-o-lantern - if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose? I... I honestly don’t really have a problem with how I look. I’m not a celebrity by any means, but even if I could look like one, I’d choose to just look like me. o.o

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted? Absolutely! The Vesvian palace, in fact.

orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn. I’d like to carve pumpkins with Neve and friends!

crow - which magic subject do you wish you had an aptitude for? Transfiguration, since I think it would be cool to be able to transform objects into different things.

bonfire - describe your dream house. I don’t have a dream house as much as I have a dream future.... A happy life married to my LI, some children of our own that are our pride and joy, lifelong bliss and happiness together. To me, it doesn’t matter where I am as long as the ones I love are there.

cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where? I’m not sure... I suppose it would be neat to live in the time when Vesuvia was just starting to grow; to see what it looked like before it became the beautiful city it is now.

cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss school? I don’t necessarily miss it, no. 

cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on? I get complimented on my eyes the most, since their color isn’t a “traditional” or expected green eye color.

maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street. The time a man mistook me for his fiance and tried to take me home while I was just trying to buy some bread from Selasi’s.

quilt - how do you take your tea (or coffee)? I prefer tea! Hibiscus tea is my favorite, but I like many different kinds.

pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad? I think that humans are born blank slates. I think they’re all meant to be good, in a way, but how they turn out depends on what they grow up around, and later, what they idolize.

moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly? I’m the unorthodox mix of both! I like things generally tidy, but it doesn’t always work out that way and I’m okay with that! xD

flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date? Not really... But then again, I haven’t necessarily been on that many dates in general.

cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what color and cut would you have? Honestly, not much different from my hair right now. I love my hair! Though it would be fun to try out an ombre look, but I’m not sure what color I’d want for it. Any suggestions, Anon? :3

ghost - is there someone that you miss having in your life? My mother. She was the hardest part of leaving home to live with Asra. I miss her every day and write to her when I can, but it’s still not the same as seeing her and being held by her. Nothing bad happened between us, I was just trying to be free of my father so I could go on adventures like I wanted and be with Asra, who he’d never approve of.

From the 25 arcana oc/Ll lore asks! III, VIII, XVIII, & XXV❤️

Thanks so much for the ask! <3 :D

III.) Where in the Arcana world map does your MC come from? What was their life like there? Eira comes from the city of Cravale, which isn't far from Vesuvia. Eira's life in Cravale was very controlled. Her nobleman father thought it very important to keep his public appearance, which meant Eira wasn't able to explore much unless she was accompanied by one of the manor's staff. While he home was beautiful, it was confining because of her father's rules; a gilded cage, so to speak.

VIII.) If your MC could take their LI anywhere in the Arcana world, where would they take them and why? What about in the real world? Asra:  In the Arcana world: To the various places she's heard customers talking about over the years, since she'd love to explore with Asra.  In the real world: Disney World 100%. Because yes UwU Ilya:  In the Arcana world: On the sea. During their whirlwind romance that happened while the plague was raging, the two of them would talk about their future plans together if they were able to find a cure in time. Eira expressed interest in wanting to travel and learn how to sail, and Ilya promised he'd teach her.  In the real world: Honestly, she'd take him pretty much anywhere as long as it was away from his work so he'd finally take a break for once in his life. Of course, it'd have to be an either fun or relaxing place.

XVIII.) What is your MC up to in the ‘present’ time of your canon? Do they have goals they’re trying to achieve? What's happening in the 'present' mainly depends on which route is taken. If she hadn't died from the plague, she'd still be with her husband Julian with their son Bastien and adopted son Li, sailing as they fulfill one of the many dreams they shared together before the plague ended. However, if she had died of the plague and gone through the resurrection and main story, she'd be with Asra (still completely unaware of what happened between her and Julian in the past) blissfully enjoying having him home for a change after defeating The Devil in Asra’s route. They’d be hanging around Vesuvia for a while, going on trips together to places Eira’s wanted to see, etc.

XXV.) Freebie. What’s one piece of lore about your MC that you’d like to tell the world about? In the main Eira story (where she ends up with Asra after being ressurected), Julian had actually proposed to her during the plague and she said yes. She was married to him and pregnant with Bastien when she died, but had never told Julian cause he was already working himself into an early grave trying to find a cure to save her. Julian felt her death was his greatest failure and that he could never gain her forgiveness. He never told her that they had been together before she died, since he felt even if she gave him another chance, he wouldn’t deserve it.

🔮 💃 😎 😍 For the dance party ask list :3

Thanks for the ask!! :3

🔮- what song describes their magic the best?  I thought about what to put here, cause I’m really not sure o.O But after lots of thought, I decided to put the music that’s used in the ambience for her gate :3 “Arcadia” by Kevin MacLeod Eira’s gate, if you’re interested. :3

💃- what song will they get up on a table and dance to? “Looking At Me” by Sabrina Carpenter! It’s such a fun song xD

😎- what is their theme song? Pre-resurrection, her theme song would be “Speechless” by Naomi Scott from the live action Aladdin movie, though I believe “Once Upon A December” from Anastasia would be an appropriate post-resurrection theme for her.

😍- what is their LI’s theme song? So the brain cell is tired and I’m not sure whether to read this as “what’s (Asra’s or Julian’s) general theme song” or “what’s a theme specifically for them and your OC,” so I’m gonna put both options xD

Julian    General theme: “Feel Something” by Jaymes Young    Eirya song: “Treacherous” by Taylor Swift

Asra    General theme: “Kiss You Slow” by Andy Grammer    Eisra song: “What Your Father Says” by The Vamps

Thanks for the ask! :3

🔮- what song describes their magic the best? After lots of thought, I decided to put the music that’s used in the ambience for her gate, since her gate is so intimately linked to her magic. :3 “Arcadia” by Kevin MacLeod

Eira’s gate ambience, if anyone’s interested.
