"she used to call all her pets silly names. called her hound meefy. her moa was soon-to-be-pecked, or sue for short. and many more... i decided to continue the tradition. so meet buglet."
alba and one of her tigers, all in her favorite hobby
"she never asked for her hunt. she needed help. so i provided. i took her pain"
once known as commander anemona, the pale fugitive is now in eternal run. she did what she could during zhaitan and mordremoth campaigns - and broke after, being not ready for the fight and, moreover, never being asked if she was.
once known as alba, the pale fugitive is now rejected and lost. an ancient dragon, scion of mordremoth purified ages ago, she spent most of her life hiding. her attempts to favor and help people in maguuma were fruitless, so she laid low, trying to defend herself from her master. and when he died, she started to wither.
once being separate people, they are now one person with a lot of secrets.
the dragon desperately wanted to live, whereas the valiant craved for death. so they had a deal. they merged. alba consumed anemona, took everything belonging to her - body, memories, duty - and provided her rest, promising to continue her legacy.
she fulfilled it. and when aurene, the only one who knew about true nature of her champion, departed to slumber, she opened up to tyria. probably was a mistake.
so she had to run again, now to the mists.
just to seek shelter in other tyria that never knew her.
7 for Anemona and Alba, 20 for Sonia, 37 for Kima, and B for all 3 of them! :3c

Alba/Anemona
7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
they share the trigger, it being thoughts of home wherever they are, but mostly in maguuma.
for anemona home was in the grove - she didn't spend enough time there but still saw it as a safe haven where she could feel like a sapling at least for once. home nostalgia wasn't really enjoyable for her, it felt like bitter yearning she could not console. so she tried to not think much of it.
heart of maguuma, on the other hand, was alba's home, which she knew perfectly and could stay hidden in. she spent her whole life there, and this makes her deeply miss it, although she is enamored by tyria's vastness. but after she fled, she realized her whole version of tyria felt like home, and she laments this loss. so at first she ignored the nostalgia, thinking one day she'll come back to her jungle, but after the escape it started to feel like a burden she hardly can carry.
alba also inherited anemona's grove nostalgia after merging. she doesn't enjoy it as well. it makes her conflicted: she's feeling pulled to this home, but is too afraid to come there, being an imposter.
Sonia
20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
"from what i saw and felt... they both feel like ripping your chest over, taking whatever you have there and offering that to the other, while they do the same. but romantic love yearns to kiss and devour other's heart, share everything that's left in yours, while platonic carries and celebrates the trust you both set in the whole action. they are two sides of the same coin. and as for familial... i don't know. i watched it but never understood. it feels like a warm fog"
Kimarse
37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?
kima often uses associations to remember something. sometimes names and lists don't require any system, so they remember them as is
but if she needs to remember a specific order of things, she relies on how they look, sound or feel and makes a mental puzzle out of it, remembering certain points and recovering everything else by logic!
me lmao
B) What inspired you to create them?
honestly i don't really remember hsjdjs
for pale fugitive's look the main inspiration is. uh. alien cat memes. zeepy zorb. for her story and personality - i really don't know, i just was brainstorming and seeing ppl around me making their fan scions gave me an idea to make my own
for sonia it might be a whole dreamwalker concept which lingers in my imagination liek. from childhood? idk why but i was always fascinated by someone who can visit others' dreams and i had some characters like her back in the past
for kimarse - the same story, i don't remember. i know her personality and gimmicks were inspired by dr doofenshrmirtz and mizora bg3 but for the whole character? no idea
