Rumor: Maivys is a swinger and has a courtier lover on the side

Maivys doesn't react, still plinking away on her lute, but Allegro furiously attacks the gossiper's ankles.

[caledon-forest]

"Reminiscing in retrograde will fuel our pointless escapade. I'll rust with you."

Cheriach and Maivys for kissing meme :DD

Maivys held her breath as she put on the finishing touches. Just a leaf there and a flower there...done. She stepped back and wiped her forehead. Somehow decorating cakes wracked her nerves more than any climb. But she'd finished, and it didn't look half-bad if she said so herself.

"It's beautiful, love."

She looked up at Cheriach, leaning against the counter. He grinned at her, a laugh in his eyes. "What?"

"You're, ah, covered in frosting." He chuckled as she looked herself over and fetched a clean rag. "Here, let me."

"Better idea." Dipping her hand into the frosting bowl, she took a goopy handful and threw it at him. It splattered on his face and chest, streaking his chin. Cheriach blinked at her for a minute, then laughed and made a grab for the bowl. Maivys snagged it first and threw another glob at him. He ducked just in time and it sailed over his head to splat against the wall.

Finally he snuck a hand in, quickly smearing frosting over her cheek. She squealed and laughed and swatted his hand away. "You started it!" he reminded her as he laughed.

Still giggling, Maivys pulled him in for a kiss. He tasted even sweeter than usual, like frosting and cookies. She set the bowl aside in favor of wrapping her arms around him. "I love you."

Cheriach beamed, blush showing through the confection splattered on his cheeks. "I love you too."

Gold Seed: Maivys

Gold Seed: A memory of one of their greatest achievements

From her pack, Allegro chirped a nervous tone. Maivys huffed, the closest she could come to laughter with her labored breathing. "Told you...not to look down." Ignoring the disgruntled trill that came next, she focused on finding a good grip on the rock face. Ah, over there. She took a breath and swung her legs over to the ledge underneath.

Just as she started to ease herself over her feet slipped. Panic shot through her as she started to swing, Allegro's shrill notes ringing in her ears. "Not helping!" She willed herself to calm. Nice even breaths, keep that one hand on the wall, do not freak out. Her momentum evened out quickly, leaving her hanging still on the rock face. "Okay..." Reaching behind her, she re-powdered her hand and took hold of the wall once again before rediscovering her footing. She rested her forehead against the rock, warmed by the sunlight, and sighed. "I hate it when that happens."

Allegro squeaked in agreement. Maivys blew her fronds out of her face and looked up. So close to the top. It would have been a real shame to fall now. Confidence returning, she went the other way, slinking across the rock to a craggy section. With a grin she started up, gaining speed as she went.

Finally, finally she slapped a hand on the gentle slope above. She pushed herself up and over the ledge and flopped there, panting. After a few long minutes she sat upright, leaning back on her hands and taking in the view. She hadn't looked down once during the climb. She hadn't wanted to ruin the surprise.

And oh it was worth it. The Silverwastes spread out before her, earthy colors contrasting the deep blue sky. Maivys grinned, squinting against the sunlight. She'd never climbed anything this high before. Taking the water skein from her pack, she smirked. "Now the real trick is gonna be getting down."

Allegro whined.

2,7 and 26 for Rhosyn, 1,2,3 and 4 for Maivys, 1,3 and 9 for Taerryn :D

2. Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.

Rhos has a number of scars from battles and misadventures and almost always has ink on her fingers from drawing out maps.

7. How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?

Fairly positive. She knows she's smart, pretty, and very skilled, and makes no apologies for her less desirable traits.

26.How does your character prepare for bed? Do they sleep at all or can they stay awake for days on end without trouble?

Rhos rolls out her bedroll beside her brother or pulls her cot next to his and settles down with a book. Unless she's troubled by something, she's usually asleep fairly quickly.

Maivys

1. What position does your character sleep in? ( i.e; stomach, side, back, etc. ) Describe why they do this — optional.

However she lands in the bed, usually with one foot hanging off the side.

2. Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.

Maivys has adorable freckles.

3. Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?

A bit of an Irish accent

4. Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?

Maiv just doesn't talk a lot, she doesn't like the sound of her speaking voice much, it makes her self-conscious. She's more talkative with people she's comfortable with.

Taerryn

1. What position does your character sleep in? ( i.e; stomach, side, back, etc. ) Describe why they do this — optional.

Curled up with her pets. When she lived in LA, she had a giant bed that all of them could fit on.

3. Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?

She doesn't. Occasionally she tries to imitate a pirate accent, but it just sounds silly.

9. Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.

Tae's dreams are usually nonsensical and entertaining to tell to her friends. Since her injuries from Dirysi and the attack on LA, she's had trouble sleeping and often goes swimming instead.

i don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that i have a character who's life philosophy is YOLO

Sloth and Wrath for any of you babies!

Sloth: a headcanon about something your character hates to do or simply hates in general

Maivys hates silence, it feels stifling to her. She doesn't understand how the Soundless do it or why they'd want to.

Wrath: a headcanon about your character and their anger management

Maivys has a long fuse and lets irritations and insults slide off of her like water. Grimmia has worn herself out trying to get a reaction from her.

ALL OF THE SYMBOLS FOOOOOOR GRIMM AND TAERRYN AND MAIVYS

Grimmia

stands

Tall and proud, with a general disregard for everything around her. She usually has her warden greatsword resting on her shoulder.

sits

Like she’s sitting on a throne surveying her kingdom.

talks

She displays her detail-oriented mind when she speaks, jabbing at weak places in people’s proverbial armor. She’s quite eloquent and enjoys the sound of her own voice.

walks

She has an easy stride with pride in every step.

runs

Grimmia does not run. If she has need to get away quickly, that’s what portals are for.

fights

From a distance if she can. She relies a little too heavily on her clones and prefers to keep her enemies away from herself.

dances

She doesn’t dance either.

sleeps

She’s a light sleeper, often falling asleep on her scrolls.

hugs + kisses

Grimmia is touch-repulsed. She prefers to keep people out of her personal space and will make her dislike known when it’s invaded.

—

Taerryn

stands

Tae stands on the balls of her feet and often bounces or rocks back and forth, swinging her arms lightly.

sits

Tae can’t sit still unless she’s working on something. If she doesn’t have something in her hands she jiggles her knees.

talks

Tae rambles when she talks, one subject leading to another and that to another. Her voice is light and airy and pleasant to listen to.

walks

She meanders with a bounce in her step and always with a pet or two or more at her heels.

runs

When she runs for fun, it’s a light-hearted pace, looking around at the things she passes and checking to see if her pet is keeping pace. When she’s fleeing it’s far more desperate, focused only on the escape and glancing over her shoulder to be sure she and pet are getting away.

fights

It always takes her a minute to realize that there is a fight and she should be fighting. With bow and arrow she is fairly cool and focused. Hand to hand makes her far more nervous, as she’s less skilled with it. If krait are involved, she becomes feral and charges in blindly.

dances

Tae loves to dance and often dances with her pets. She lets the music set the beat and steps.

sleeps

In a pile of pets.

hugs

Brief tight squishes that often catch the person by surprise.

kisses

She kisses deeply, putting all of her affection and love into it.

She strolls, either singing or humming as she takes in her surroundings.

runs

Usually she keeps a casual pace, just fast enough to get where she's headed but arrive there with some energy left.

Curled up on her bedroll with her toy golem Allegro singing a lullaby
