WoD-ask decided to draw Tarot cards in honor of Halloween, and I took part in it. My favorite girls, Leofrun and Avis, are here! Yes, Leofrun is cosplaying Heaven's Secret because I love that story, lol.

I decided to treat myself this spring and now my favorite fairy is at WODask! And on her lap is her favorite chimerical dragon named Opal. As usual I forgot to bring the pic here right away, lol. That's okay, I'll be sure to post the rest

The latest and newest artwork I'm pouring on the internet for the first time, hehe

This is my character that I play in Changeling: The Dreaming. It's been a long time since I've had such an easy, enjoyable and comfortable game. All the other games were good too, don't think so. I just feel like it's MY thing. Maybe it's the fact that I finally didn't limit myself and decided to take ALL the things I love and combine them into one character? Well, that makes sense…

Her name is Charlene René Wade, but in the fairy community she is known as Leofrun from the House Ailil. She has recently passed her Chrysalis and the Fior-Righ, but has already earned the title of knight in the course of our chronicle. She is a very emotional and passionate Autumn Sidhe from Unseelie Court. She enjoys making devious plans, participating in intrigue, unraveling other people's schemes and learning dirty secrets. More than anything, she longs to benefit the noble House Ailil. She likes to be a bit dramatic, although she loves fun and taking care of her loved ones. Sometimes she wants to appear more cold and impenetrable than she really is (she is far from it).

Like any Sidhe from House Ailil, she strives to be seen as nothing less than ideal and when that naturally doesn't happen… It hurts her. Sometimes she gets overly emotional and allows herself to think overly violent things. Part of her is frightened by this urge to burn cities and shoot at knees and… Charlene doesn't usually remember what happens next. A piece of her life falls out of her memory and it's good if she finds herself in a familiar place. She doesn't know, but in these moments that very part of her really wants to placate the universe and show that she is not bad, but on the contrary the kindest girl in the world.

❤ She has a chimerical dragon named Opal ❤ Loves cherries in any form, including cigarettes and perfume ❤ Very fond of human history and hopes to become a historian already in the society of changelings ❤ Very passionate about tragedies and stories with bad endings ❤ Afraid to engage in close combat and shuns the sight of blood. Instead, she has learned to shoot and loves firearms. She has a chimerical gun, which she named after the dragon guarding the Garden of the Hesperides ❤ At the beginning of the timeline she hated House Gwydion, now she will fight for loved ones from that house ❤ She loves abandoned houses with old attics ⛓︎ Afraid of repeating the fate of characters from her favorite tragedies ⛓︎ Ruined her relationship with her own Lady. ⛓︎ Very easily offended by things that another would not even pay attention to ⛓︎ Sometimes she dreams of previously agonizing death experiences and these dreams throw her off balance ⛓︎ Tends to succumb to paranoid thoughts and see enemies everywhere ⛓︎ Smokes a lot, literally can't live without cigarettes ⛓︎ Her family is known for her mother committing Rhapsody. Because of that, Charlene has a bad reputation, too

Made a little sticker set with my favorite fairy!

The bottom sticker says, “The moon is beautiful tonight.” Well, you know... And the inscription on the cookie says, “You.”

In the spring, wonderful @dushpshpsh hosted an awesome winged fairy flash mob for WODask. I couldn't not participate in it, so here's my pic for it! Thanks again for this awesome idea!

I couldn't resist doing this challenge with my favorite Leofrun. Especially since since the last post about her (by the way, she now has a tag, yay!) we've been playing very tightly and productively. Leofrun finished one story and was relatively successful but… Afterward, she had an identity crisis. Her relationship with her Lady had deteriorated completely, there had been major changes in the town, a lot of things had started to annoy her simply because of bad memories.

The borders of her Duchy are always turbulent and so she volunteered to go there. Effectively she went to serve in the war against the Thallains. She left her home, her family, her friends, the knight she really likes and set off with her chimera, a gun and a supply of cigarettes. Of course she'll come back, but right now she just needs it…

Anyway, I've decided that this broken face captures her condition amazingly. The starry sky as a symbol of what loves that knight with a passion for astronomy. The dragon constellation is also her House, her chimera, and her favorite gun, named Λάδων
