Done: Allegory & Epigraph
Allegory: What does Rook dream about?
Her nicest dreams largely feature endless fields of tall grass that she’s laying in while a soft wind rolls through it in a steady repeating wave (a bit like the earth is breathing) that carries the sound of someone humming but it’s cool and dry and open and the sky goes on forever while. I think she also occasionally dreams of people? Not specific people, but of people who (in the dream) know her and were either waiting on her or looking for her —they’re usually welcoming her into their space in some capacity—and she always gets the sense that she’s important to them in a warm and cozy way. Good thing she mostly forgets these and never talks about them to anyoneeee
Epigraph: What situation(s) would make Rook compromise their morals? How would Rook feel about this?
This is such a tough questionnnn because she doesn’t have many strongly rooted ones. For a really long time, if it meant her survival, she didn’t really have an compunctions about doing it but! The incident with the Antaam really broke through a lot of layers to get at her core morals which revolve around sparing innocents (loosely defined) and the idea everyone is entitled to self-determination—whatever that means for them. I think she would be hard pressed to set those things aside in any situation where there’s a good outcome or bad outcome, so it would have to be a no good outcomes scenario and trust it would haunt her. Being so real, the only other kind of situation I could potentially see her choosing to compromise for would be to save and/or protect someone she loves, and I cannot guarantee it would not wreck her to do it, but if it comes down to like…if she needed to act to save, idk, an orphanage or something and doing so would almost guarantee the death of someone she loves and she couldn’t find a way around it….idk idk idk I think those poor kids are maybe outta luck. She’d rather not, obviously, and said loved one would probably hate her for it, but she’s got a complicated relationship with being seen as a hero as it is and having already done the world-saving thing once, you know what I mean? Stop! asking! her! to! sacrifice! things!
