#babe 1

Did the impossible and got them to sit still for a picture.

Had to shake a bag of treats like a maraca.

So pleased to finally introduce the main crew of my Rebels and Empire series, once again done by the talented Noah of @invisibleinnocence.

In order, left to right: Nem, resident lovable rogue (Babe 2); Tara, easily-pissed mom-friend (Babe 1); Chall, crap Chosen One (Babe C); and Serena, immortal badass (Babe S).

WIP WEDNESDAY

The Wolfling and the Thief, chapter 3

Nem chuckled. If he was difficult, she was impossible. And yet, he’d always liked challenges.

Too bad she was going to have to go. He didn’t know Javid that well, but he knew the type. The enforcer wouldn’t stay scared off for long, and would only come back more angry and vicious. Tara could get very dead very quickly if she hung around, and Nem didn’t want that. If he could just convince her to go back to wherever she’d come from…

“Where are you from, anyway?” he asked aloud. “Grend? Fort Tavat?”

There was silence for a moment, then she answered, “Chauncy.”

“Hate to break it to you, Puppy, but that’s not a Chauncy accent you’ve got. What’d you do? Run away?”

WIP Wednesday

The Wolfling and the Thief, chapter 2

He led her to an eatery not far off. It was small, but clean, and on entering Tara could smell red meat cooking somewhere in the kitchen. Nick took a seat at the counter, sliding the abacus-like beads embedded in it to show for two. Tara slid her pack under the bench and straddled it. Nick had promised not to lay a finger on her, but he had said nothing about her bag. He smirked at her. Tara fidgeted. His seeming lack of ability to make any other expression made her uncomfortable.

“So what kind of job are we talking about?” she asked.

“Trickster’s hood, you don’t believe in taking a minute to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, do you?”

“Struggling through this conversation is neither simple nor a pleasure. Just tell me what you want so I can decide if I want to run you through or not.”

WIP Wednesday

The Wolfling and the Thief, chapter 1

Tara let her hand skim against one of the silver-banded columns as she passed it. She had heard stories about the beauty and the great age of the Temple of the Moon in Merl, but they had not done the place any justice. The congregation had to be devoted indeed to keep the place so lovely, especially in a city where sea storms battered its walls. In fact, it seemed like the only other people there at the moment were servants scrubbing the marble floors near the entrance.

She approached the large altar at the far end of the building. Above it was a fresco of the Nine imperial gods: the Sun, the Moon, the Stone, the Earth, the Beauty, the Trickster, the Storm, the Wisdom, and the Lady. Tara stared at them in all their painted and gilded glory. She knew their names, but she was Wolfling, and they were not her gods. But Wolfling Ancestors and wild spirits were not beings that could be bribed with favors or prayers, so she was forced to turn to the deities of interloping imperials.

Red nose and a raunchy attitude, yeah!

Paper

8: What are some of your OCs strengths?

She is actually pretty physically strong - she’s had training with a sword and shield.

She’s compassionate. (I found out later Green Tara is a Buddhist goddess of compassion so double win!)

She doesn’t take anyone’s shit.

Nope - she’s the resident asexual on the crew

16: When is your OCs favorite time of year?

Autumn. She thinks it’s beautiful with the changing leaves

Weirdly I’ve thought of this: cloves

28: Does your OC like anime?

Um probably not but she would watch it with you to humor you

College isn’t a thing in the world, but I have written a college AU: she was trying to choose between poli-sci and nursing

Set a prison on fire (she got the prisoners out first, don’t worry)

Indifferent

Linen shirt, wode-colored (it’s a kind of light blue) quilted tunic with brass neck-clasps, brown wool trousers, leather boots, and an olive-green cloak if the weather calls for it

Very much. She would much rather be in the woods than anywhere else.
