I think the easiest way to build attachment with characters is knowing more about them, and I want everyone to be as attached to my characters as I am, so here's some fun facts about the ocs in my Washed Away au:
● Penni's favourite human food is sushi because it reminds her of food back home the most.
● Nimirylov was one of those shy kids until he hit puberty. He lost his shyness after that.
● Penni's issues with walking and pain in her legs do get better as she gets older, but they'll always be there to some extent.
● Penni knows how to use multiple weapons.
● Nimirylov gets along with his parents very well, but he's determined to not raise Penni the same way they raised him and Jaolen.
● Speaking of Jaolen (since I love her even though she's not an important character), she owns a clothes shop in the capital city. Penni stayed there with her for a week when she was a pretty young kid, and all the mischief she learnt meant that Jaolen was never allowed to babysit for such long periods of time again after that.
● That also means that Penni knows how sew. She was taught how to make clothes as well as mischief.
● Nimirylov is terrified that Penni will grow up and resent being homeschooled because of the fact she never got to interact with people her own age.
● Penni loves being homeschooled. She doesn't want to interact with people her own age who will treat her weirdly because she's royalty, or who'll make fun of her name.
● Penni's real name is Pennim, but she only gets called that by her grandparents, the nobles, and when she's in trouble.
● Nimirylov's name means Perfect Current.
● Pennim means Brain Perfect.
● Jaolen's name means Beautiful Wave.
