For Aviana again <3 from the Flower Language ask - Asphodel, Chicory, Mugwort, Acanthus :)
Asphodel What’s something your character regrets?
Aviana regrets not learning how to cope with the teasing and aggression. His whole life is practically dictated by whether or not he’s stepped on anyone’s toes. He wishes he could just ignore them or fight back but he can never bring himself too. It makes him feel weak and helpless and he hates that.
This also leads to the darker regret of being born as he is. He doesn’t regret being alive and just really hopes that his parents loved each other and that he wasn’t a mistake… or worse…
Chicory What is your character’s attitude toward money?
He dislikes that it has to run most things. He liked being a member of the dalish because they traded for things. Money was mostly an excess that they had little need for, so when he got into the towns and cities and needed it, it was difficult for him to get used to. Not that the actual thing is what annoys him, it’s the greed that is bred from the want of it. The high prices for necessities or cheaply made items made him angry. Another invention that seemed simply made to divide people.
Mugwort What makes your character happy?
Good things. A child’s smile. A simple gesture of kindness. The sunrise. The smell of the world after the rain. The pristine whiteness of fresh fallen snow. The embrace of a loved one. The secret glances and chaste, promise filled kisses of lovers in public. The boisterous laughter of the drunken men in the tavern. The pride in the eyes of the blacksmith when a piece comes out just right. The steady kindness of the horsemaster as he tends to his charges. The softening around the amber eyes of the commander when he looks at her.
It all makes him happy because others are happy and that’s good. That’s enough.
Acanthus What are your character’s hobbies?
Carving little knic-knac’s for children. He’s taken up smithing. Writing stories to tell to children. He’s learning to mend clothing and tents. Cooking (he makes sure to go often to help keep the head cook in check as she could be very cruel to the elves working with her even when they worked so hard). Checking in on everyone to make sure they’ve eaten, had enough to drink and gotten enough sleep. He also double checks on Cullen just to be sure he doesn’t need help with anything. (even if that’s not a hobby I wanted to write it somewhere~)
I need to start a ‘Did you know…’ for all the extra things I discover about my characters… WEE~
