*Sneaks in again* 🖊 + Khusel! *Sneaks away*
When she was very young, Khusel made a deal with her sister - twins though they may be, neither was happy sharing their nameday. So they split the date, and alternated in years: One year, Dairalt would celebrate her nameday a week before the actual date, and one week after the date, Khusel would celebrate - and then, the next year, they would swap who got to celebrate it first.
7 for Khusel! And 5 for Shio! :3
Khusel:
How does your character handle failure or setbacks? Are they resilient or easily discouraged?
Khusel has spent her entire life suffering one setback or failure after another. She's long become used to it - she would be less resilient if she succeeded at something, now. (The shock might give her a heart attack).
Shio:
Does your character have any hidden talents or abilities that only a few people know about?
Shio has a plethora of talents that most people don't know about: Most see her as a meathead mercenary thug. However, her hidden talents include fishing, gardening, landscaping, interior design, cooking, and being the fastest striped-ray racer in Tamamizu for four years running. (She's very proud of that last one)
FFXIV Write 2023, Day Thirteen: Check
Walking along the docks, the wood damp beneath her bare feet, Khusel frowns. The crowd is thicker than usual today, and she's not sure why - but it is meaning that she cannot walk to the tailor's shop without being jostled by all and sundry.
Trying to force her way against the stream of people, she struggles as best she can - only for the stride of one Miqo'te to knock her off balance. As the feline's shoulder impacts hers, she finds herself falling, falling - and hitting the salty water.
14. How important is friendship to your OC? Do they prefer to have one or two close friends or a large group of casual friends? Or do they prefer their own company over that of others? (For Khusel!)
Khusel would ideally love to have friends, a small group of half a dozen or so who she could trust intimately.
She doesn't have that many close friends, but does get extremely lonely - and she'd like to change that.
"M'just here for mother's nameday. Don't make a thing of it."
"Wouldn't dream of it, sister mine. How's your horse riding these days?" "Shove it, Dairalt. M'not in the mood."

A triple doozy! Alright. <3
Odori is not Odori's birth name! It's her stage name. She was born as Volya Kirasch, and she still answers to Volya when off-hours - but it's very rare that she trusts anybody to let them know this side of her.
Alatyr has an absolutely absurd amount of game - in his life as a travelling merchant, he can reliably be found with the prettiest people in whatever town, city, village, or hamlet he is in, sitting on his knee or making appreciative eyes at him.
Khusel has a twin! Her twin is ostensiblyidentical, although both sisters would dispute that. Khusel avoids going to the Steppe because she is used to her twin being prettier, more skilled, more beautiful, a better combatant, a better horse rider... All things that add up to making Khusel feel like absolute garbage.
Formalwear Poll: Khusel
I have gotten bored, and I am doing a series of polls judging what kind of formalwear my characters look better in. Participate, if you want?
Does Khusel look better in:
A dress
A suit
For the musical shuffle number ask:
8
This one actually made me prune the play list since I don't know why some songs were on it. But we're here now!
(Drunk, by The Living Tombstone)
The night is, by and large, a blur.
A Miqo'te is who she is speaking to first, when she starts drinking. Charming, very beautiful. Bit of a temper. Before long, the Miqo'te is escorted away by a Viera, and Khusel is finishing her drink alone.
A rather pretty Xaela woman happens by next - pale skin, striking lips. She seems to want to ply Khusel with drinks. Two - or was it three? - and some strange questions. Before long, her curiosity is sated, and she leaves too.
Next, a tall auri man, cutting a very imposing figure, happens by. He buys her a drink, too. They have some fun for a while, and then he retires to slumber, leaving her with her drink - or was it a new one?
Nursing the cheap ale, a familiar and very short Miqo'te happens by. It takes Khusel nearly a minute to recognise that it is not the same woman with whom she started the night. She chats for a time, very kind, and when she leaves, the Xaela has a fresh drink clutched in her fingers.
Standing up to leave, the world tilts and spins sickeningly. Taking two steps towards the door has her tail upending the table.
Collapsing out the front door, she nearly lands on a familiar Raen - but no matter how much she tries, she cannot remember the name.
Words from the woman trapped beneath her reach her horns, but Khusel cannot hear them. Her eyelids feel like they're tied to lead weights and so she lets them fall - before falling herself into slumber.
