GRABS U BY THE SHOULDERS koretta??? also fraught is an awesome name so i am curious about them too!!!! i gotta be honest im curious about all of them but aaaaaa
Koretta! A member of the City Guard and strongly motivated to be helpful to the best of her abilities. She’s humble to the point of underselling herself, but thankfully, her efforts are still recognized.
When the Radiance worms Her way in through Koretta’s desperate desire to protect, She turns the powerful guard against her charges and her fellow guards. However, she is not slain. She receives enough wounds that she blacks out from the pain. When she awakes, she’s in a sturdy cell and confused about many things. She only has hazy memories, but surely that was a dream. She’d never attack... she’d never... she... She’s told what she did. She’s horrified. She tells her interrogator what she was thinking and feeling and what might’ve been the cause; maybe knowing will help them prevent further weakness with the others. Then she withdraws. It’s hard to just sit here in this cell when she wants to move around. It’s hard not to dwell on what she did when anyone who walks by either glares at her or hurries past fearfully. It’s hard not to want to accept the whispered offer for a way to break out and forget it all....
Koretta really likes tea. Here’s a sketch of her helping some citizens:
And Fraught! Oh, my beloved spider. I love her so so so much. Y’all have no idea. She is the source of the happy chemical. I don’t talk about her much outside the RP server that I made her for because her story is intertwined with characters belonging to other people, and that gets complicated to share with people not familiar with all the history and interactions.
But, I will share Some things.
She is a weaver by skill and profession, though the silk things she creates have no magic to them. Well, until she gets involved with the Soul Sanctum. The resulting “soul silk” that she can produce has some magical properties, but in order for it to be used to its fullest potential, an inventive and adaptable weaver is necessary. Luckily, that’s what Fraught is, and through plenty of trial and error, she creates patterns that produce effects - braid a cord a certain way to transmit thoughts like you were speaking, shape a large web into an array that collects ambient soul particles and funnels them into a gem placed in the center, etc etc. If you can think it, and it can be powered by soul magic, there is a possibility that Fraught could weave something applicable.
She’s generally cheerful and expects people to be honest and open. Sometimes she’s a little ditzy and naive, but then there are moments when she picks up on subtle details and surprises everyone.
When she was a spiderling, she wanted to be a hunter or a warrior, but she proved to not be so great at that, and eventually she tried weaving, where she had some natural talent if not an accompanying interest. She grew to appreciate weaving, but it took a while.
I love her so much. Look at herrrr <3
