//Hi All! I’m excited to share this work of Rynn with you! This is a piece I commissioned of her in her medieval verse, done by the INCREDIBLE Jordan MacDonald .
Please leave the artist credit on here if you reblog and don’t steal to post elsewhere. Thanks!
Snowfall // Rynn x Alex
@ask-the-hidden-thief continued from here
The assassin scoffed as she put some distance between them, coughing as she went. They’d nearly got themselves flattened by the landslide that had separated them from the Inquisitor’s party; Rynn had got the worst of it but, apparently, was determined not to let that stop her.Not even when it was obvious, from where he was standing, watching her cling to a tree for dear life, that even if she didn’t want to stop, her body was about to not listen to her wishes.“You know, if I knew you were so suicidal, I would’ve told those who hired me to kill you to let you be. You’d kill yourself eventually without them having to pay for it,” he huffed as the woman coughed on, her knees almost giving way despite her best efforts to remain upright.
“And how exactly are you going to stop this magister you speak of?” he asked a moment later, striding over to her. “Are you going to try and cough him to death?” He picked her up without even asking her, slinging her over his shoulder like a sack before she could argue. “You need to rest and there’s nothing we can do for your companions. We can’t get past the rocks, our only way is around them. And we can’t bring that tree with us, either,” he shrugged, starting away from where their path was definitively and fully blocked.
He set her down a few short minutes later, inside the ruins of what might have once been a stone house. Only one room remained standing now, the thick stone walls standing upright for the most part, offering some shelter from the biting cold outside. The remains of a hearth took up one of the ruined walls, the only thing in the room. The Shadow handed the redhead a blanket from his pack quickly, once he’d set her down. “I’ll go back to that tree and see if I can get some wood for a fire,” he nodded calmly. “Don’t even think of moving.”
All she could muster at his snarky comments was an eye roll and a dissatisfied expression. Rynn knew he was right, of course, but she wasn’t about to admit it. Though in all honesty, part of her needed him to make her stop - she pushed too far because nothing ever felt like enough, not with the amount of people depending on her. Stopping just seemed selfish.
But her mysterious companion was having none of it, and a few moments later she found herself swept off her feet and tossed over his shoulder as if she weighed about as much as a sack of flour. The initial move caught her by surprise, and the sound she made as he did so made that clear. But, funnily enough, she didn’t fight him. Whether or not that was due to the cold or because she sort of appreciated the forced break, Rynn would never say.
“You do have a point.” She answered grudgingly as he carried her towards something - she couldn’t see what thanks to how he’d picked her up. “And if I die from exposure I can’t protect anyone.” Rynn acquiesced, though she wasn’t terribly happy about it.
Soon enough, the Inquisitor was on the ground again, gratefully taking the blanket The Shadow handed her. Though she pulled it tightly around her, the cold was still finding its way to her. She shivered, looking up at Shadow before he went to leave.
“Don’t worry, I give up for the night. You win this one. But please hurry back with the firewood... it’s freezing.” Rynn responded, blanket nearly covering her face as she looked up at him. It was times like this she wished she was a mage- creating fire to warm herself up didn’t sound like a terrible idea right about now.
Meta on Pets for Rynn. Anything goes.
Rynn loves animals, though that may not always be readily apparent since she typically doesn’t have any. Cats are her favorite as far as acceptable pets are concerned - they’re easy, they smell better than dogs, and they sort of have... an understanding. Rynn respects that they are independent creatures, and therefore when a cat deigns to show her attention she is always delighted.
Very few verses allow her a lifestyle for pets, unfortunately, which is why she generally doesn’t have a cat of her own. As much as she loves the creatures, she doesn’t feel its fair to keep one if she’s never home or constantly putting herself in danger. This is especially true in her medieval verses, since she’s normally on the road, and her superhero verse - there would be no one to go looking for the cat and take care of it if some ill fate befell her.
Rynn will, however, immediately try to greet any cat that crosses her path. She particularly loves it when she goes into a shop and there’s a surprise cat curled up on a chair or wandering around the place. She will drop whatever mission she is on and delight in the little beastie as long as is reasonable.
Her face also lights up if she’s walking around a city and a dog shows an interest in her. While cats are her preference, she loves dogs too and will always stop to pet one, should the owner say its okay. If her friends have a pet, she will spoil the little creature as much as allowed.

1. opinions on the following things: ugg boots, electric scooters, starbucks, shaved sides haircut, selfie sticks, beanies.
Ugg Boots: She wears them around the house but would never where them out. Starbucks: Definitely. Something iced and delicious. Shaved Sides: Depending on verse, she might actually have this haircut. She loves it. Selfie Sticks: Too much work. If someone else wants them fine, but she’s not taking the time to deal with them. Beanies: She likes them on men with long hair but doesn’t personally wear them.
7. one example of a significant change in their backstory now that the world’s changed.
I try to keep most of it as consistent as possible, and it does vary verse to verse. Instead of being a princess, she’s the daughter of either a famous politician or a socially important family. Usually the arranged marriage is still a factor, but its less publicly known.
8. describe their closet.
Rynn enjoys clothing, though not to excess. She typically favors any sort of sleeveless top and tight pants. Usually in darker colors. She has a collection of jackets larger than anyone needs, as well as a few too many pairs of combat boots and Doc Martens. She has never owned a floral print in her life and generally avoids anything too dainty or wholesome. Expect an edgy spin to everything. She likes to accessorize to some extent, but it tends to be silver jewelry with black stones or accents. Think obsidian, black diamond etc. For formal where, she favors high-low dresses or things with slits. These tend to be in jewel tones that compliment her coloring. Most of her clothing tends to be on the functional side.
There is one exception to this - her around-the-house clothes. For relaxing at home, she favors soft cotton leggings, large shirts that hang off her shoulders, and fluffy socks.
12. name a few of their favourite pieces of popular culture.
Superhero movies for sure (Black Widow is her favorite). She’s also fond of True Crime and Paranormal documentaries.

Smash or pass (Rynn) - Judge Magister Gabranth
Her brow furrows in confusion for a moment, clearly surprised by this inquiry. She wasn’t all that familiar with the man, only heard things here and there through the grapevine. To have someone ask, well, it piqued her curiosity as to why. Still, she owed them an answer.
“I have to say I’m torn on that one. I do value loyalty, and I do like his voice. But I must admit I’m curious as to what would make him approach me, of all people. I suppose I could really only decide yes or no once we’ve spoken. I’m sure that’s not the answer you were expecting, unfortunately.”
Smash or Pass (Rynn) - Qrow Branwen
She thinks for a moment, eyes glancing up as she brings the man to mind. “Sure, I think we’d probably have a perfectly delightful time. Though I imagine if we spent too much time together we’d probably get into trouble.” The redhead laughs. “He’s seems a nice enough fellow, I don’t see why not.”

1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?
When she was very initially created, the first thing about her was that she was a cat demon. I originally made Rynn for an Inuyasha RP when I was like 12. I changed her up pretty drastically after a few posts there, and once that RP died she became the initial sketch of the character she is now.Back then she was the last surviving member of her clan when everyone else had been murdered. That back story eventually no longer worked and the she was just the character with little focus on backstory. Some time later (not sure when tbh), she became the runaway princess she is today. A few things have always stayed the same - the red hair, the green eyes, the personality. She’s always been flirtatious and sassy, and she’s always dual-wielded blades. Honestly she has so many verses these days its hard to keep track, but the thread of her character has always been the same.
15. What is something about your OC can make you laugh?
Her one-liners. I can’t think of them for myself in my daily life, but her sass is just out of control when she takes over while I’m writing. I wish I was that clever.
18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
The true depth of her heroism and willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. I considered her chaotic neutral for a long time, and generally she’s been a rogue-ish assassin type, but lately she’s been quite heroic. She has this refusal to give up, this tenacity and this need to protect. Her protective nature has come out full force too. And none of it fades or wavers. . Quite the opposite, it often goes too far - she’ll inadvertently cause harm to herself while trying to save others. Her good heart gets her in trouble and makes her try to save people that only mean her harm.
19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?
Initially I had no idea how to answer this, but now I do - the way she turns her beauty and her sexuality and the way others underestimate her into a weapon. She learned early on that the world only sees her one way, and rather than fight against it at all turns she embraces it and uses it to her advantage. She has a strong strategic mind, often hidden behind layers of smirking confidence. But she’s smart. She is nearly always in control of the situation, even if it seems like someone else has the upper hand. She’s not standing still - she’s lying in wait.
