Measurements?

I have never really worked out the measurements for Poe. Her sister, Mota, is significantly more petite and as a huntress, much more active and agile. Don’t get me wrong, Poe is as well, but having different fathers, the genetic differences are a bit more obvious. Poe is fairly thick (and taller), a much more classical hourglass type, while Mota is more slender.

If we got down to the nitty gritty, Poe’s chest slider sits at about 80/100. If we had hip/butt/thigh slider, we would definitely be pushing 95/100. And she is max on height!

In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?

Ha! Self criticism forever!!!! It’s probably one of Poe’s biggest weaknesses - horrible self esteem and when she compares herself to others (which she tries not to do because she already starts with the assumption that others are smarter, faster, funnier, prettier, etc!) it usually ends badly.

She can be a little (ok, a lot!) self sabotage-y, she would rather hurt herself first before she allows someone else to make her feel that way.

Silly Poe.

Day One: Klexos: The art of dwelling on the past. What piece of your muse’s past do they really need to let go of?

Mmm - Poe definitely needs to learn how to let go in general. While she is able to move forward with life, she lets the pain of the past linger.

Relan’s passing is something she has never gotten over (and likely won’t), as she didn’t have much experience with grief and loss, it set the stage for her to struggle with other losses.

Dacero’s disappearance had a profound impact on interpersonal relationships, as she has a hard time truly believing that someone will stay (granted…when your fiancée goes mia - one does start to wonder if everyone is capable of just up and leaving!)

So it’s not one thing she needs to let go, but more overall, she needs to learn that just because some leave her life, it doesn’t mean everyone is looking for a ticket out.

Thanks for the ask!

29. Your muse has blackmail over mine.

A discreet somnus deal had brought Poe to the social gathering, remaining on the edges as she preferred to watch and go unnoticed. Finally her eyes had settled on a cinnamon Seeker, annoyed as she was never one to admit that confident Seekers could draw her attention.

He seemed to be conversing with what appeared to be a tall, willowy female near the bar but something seemed off. She continued to study the male and his target of conversation when Poe noticed a lump move beneath the robes of the woman.

It dawned on Poe, as the robes continued to move about, that something was amiss and when the Seeker presented the lady with a drink, the whole production went off the rails. The robe dropped and two Lalafells, one perched on the other’s shoulders, swiped the drink from the Seeker and took off for the door.

The poor man stood there a bit dumbfounded and Poe shrank back when she realized his gaze had met her. He knew she had seen everything that just happened.

Those few seconds felt like eons, as they stared at each other. If the Keeper had ill intents, she now had leverage to put the Seeker in a precarious situation…

But it wasn’t in her nature and as she saw him stand up and appear as if he was going to approach her, Poe bolted herself. A pity, she didn’t want him to think that everyone he approached would run off, but she didn’t know what to say to the man.

Thanks for the ask, @drystanaislinn - not exactly blackmail cause it would be a lot for Poe to do…but she could have!!!

▤ = falling asleep on them .

Poe entered Berry’s bakery, determined to find everything cherry Berry had made for the day. Calling her name out, Poe found her small friend in the bake, appearing to have finished the dishes from her baking.

With a large hug, Poe wrapped her arms tightly around Berry before finding a seat within the place. Sweet talking, Poe managed to get a cherry turnover and scooped Berry up to hug her again, the pink haired Lala yawning. Berry stretched and Poe wrapped her tail around the woman as well, “You can rest a bit, I know you have been working hard.”

Careful to not drop any crumbs, Berry was soon fast asleep, Poe content, “You always said you would have your bakery. And you did it.”

21. What kind of relationships do they tend to intentionally seek out versus actually cultivate? What kind of social contact do they prefer, and why?

Sitting down on the bench outside of her cabin, the redhead opened her journal and quickly jot down a few notes. With a small sigh, she closed the leather bound parchment, fingers tracing the scuffs in the cover. She had received an invite to a rather large gathering, something that typically made her skin crawl. Not that she didn’t love social events, she did.

But large groups caused anxiety for her, preferring smaller, more intimate experiences with friends. Poe smiled, thinking of the small dinner parties she had hosted and the silly picnics she had planned.

Her thoughts drifted to her best friend, Ayiana. Their friendship developed from the experience of adversity, both women being empathetic and nurturers but struggling with having that reciprocated. They held no expectations of each other, while Poe had witnessed plenty of conflict between women, she could not imagine Ayiana and her ever being like that towards one another. They valued their differences, respected each other’s opinions and always cheered each other on, be it learning how to wield a dagger (or gun for Poe) or finding the courage to ask someone out to dinner.

It was a stark difference from many of the relationships Poe had sought out, too easily pulled into the pattern of wanting to help…to fix those who felt broken. It was all to easy for Poe to feel needed…wanted when someone desired her help…even if it was not their intention. More often than not, those types of interactions would end in misery, Poe thinking they valued their relationship, the other individual getting their needs met and disappearing.

Thanks for the ask, @aelorellevallancourt!!  @ayianairis for mentions!

8. Where and when do they seem most and least at ease? Why? How can you tell?

Poe is very much an introvert (INFP!!) so she is most comfortable in familiar places, the main two being on the walking paths in the Shroud in the area she grew up, and her cabin in the Lavender Beds.

One can tell immediately Poe is at ease because she will become more talkative, less fidgety and laugh more. In large crowds, she purposefully tries to become a wallflower and struggles with being overstimulated, so familiar and quiet places bring out the best in her!
