when oriana gets excited she just starts body clocking and shaking people (if they let her), primarily with her party members. she and the bard just straight up start smacking and slamming into each other. she can barely move the paladin, but he lets her smack him anyway and just moves his weight around. after their warlock basically confirmed that she doesn't mind being picked up, she picks up her up a lot and just spins her around.

#just imagine getting body checked and slammed by a 5'9“ half elf #she really does turn into a teenager when she gets pumped up #this is inspired by how we all shake each other at the table when we get nervous or excited tbh #ii. character study.

#i loved doing this i don't talk about oriana and fighting enough #she doesn't jump in front of someone else if she can help it bc she knows if she goes down it's going to be a problem for who she's with #and the sharp contrast between her being easily provoked versus a skilled combatant? is also something that i need to talk about #anyway i would not want to be on the other side of her hunter's mark #magic is literally just another buff to her / her skills #ii. character study.#i. dash games.

oriana's rifle is named "the last thing", because it's usually the last thing one sees before being knocked unconscious and the last thing monsters see before they're destroyed.

her two knives are called "shut" and "up" because drawing her knives usually shuts people up 🙂‍↕️ and when they don't, she shuts them up herself. with the knives.

#ii. character study.#she's a name her weapons kind of girl

if you told oriana there were spirits around her, she would deny or make a show of not being scared, but then catch her later mumbling a prayer of protection and filling her pockets with holy water vials

#ii. character study.#she's a little bit superstitious and growing up in the shadowfell / getting stuck in barovia did not help #easily spooked but not visibly so

ARE YOU A SOLDIER, A POET OR A KING?

THE SOLDIER. righteousness. strength. violence. you see a door and break through it. you wonder, sometimes, if anger is the only thing you can feel. remember: love is passion too. you made your own rules and will follow them to death. you try and forget that there is only one rule, and that it is "FIGHT". you are tired of fighting. you try to forget that, too, and keep going. you dream of quiet. your love is where you heal. god knows you deserve to.

IF YOU WERE A DEITY, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DOMAIN?

NATURE AND THE HUNT. you are the divine parentage of the earth and the wilds, as well as the ancient art of the hunt. your verdant forests, vast grasslands, and lush jungles are a source of wonder and sustenance for the skilled tracker, but conversely a place of fear and doom for the lost and unprepared. many mortals revere you as a nurturing mother figure or a generous provider of protection and prosperity; however, you are equally capable of unleashing vengeance, famine, and destruction unto those who drink too deeply and greedily of your plentiful gifts. hunters, gatherers, and herbalists look to you for guidance in the wilds, and your mythological equivalents are greece’s gaia and artemis, scandinavia’s skaði, eurasia’s devana and the iroquois’ sky-woman.

#i. dash games.#ii. character study.#this was cute as heck

thinking about ori post-barovia. how she struggles not to keep looking over her shoulder for signs of the vampire and his agents. how she probably spends a few days in bed healing from her injuries, refusing to speak about what happened to her and what happened to her family. the way it takes her days to piece things together in a way that makes sense. the way she throws herself into trying to rebuild what she left behind, coming to terms with how long she's been gone. how she tries to integrate the dusk elves and the people who followed her home into life at the guild

#watching blood of ze/us and the scene where they're walking thru the mists and alexia runs into visions of her parents #i think she does eventually start processing it initially while she's fussing over kasimir and she just ends up crying about it #and then only really dwells on it when the anniversary of her return comes around #ii. character study.
