Þú líður Á ófriður Alein, alein

Have you ever looked at the leaf of a tree? Green and shiny, with all its veins visible in the sunlight? Isn’t it wonderful? Yes, a leaf justifies everything. Human beings, birth and death–everything one does is good.

Prompt VII:: One song to describe Xavier & Refur (Theme song)

This is definitely the theme song for these two. I view the song as Xavier and Refur talking to each other, back and forth. To me, the lyrics describe how Xavier is afraid of growing up and forgetting Refur and the Monster World. The song also has plenty of motifs which are relevant to Xavier's life, like an 'old and empty house' like the one she currently lives in, and mentions of the ocean, which can refer to the Water Region, or how her father perished at sea.

(Yeah, you can tell I love applying symbolism to music a lot. Basically everything about this song is just perfect.)

Prompt VI:: Five facts about Xavier and Refur

Xavier

Xavier has Icelandic and Irish heritage. Whilst her Irish roots on her mother's side are very distant, her Icelandic roots from her father's side are much closer.

Xavier actually knows a little of the Icelandic language! She only knows a few words and basic greetings. She wishes to become fluent in it one day.

She is lactose intolerant. Due to her mother's needs, she also leads a mostly gluten free diet.

Surprisingly enough, she has never broken a bone in her body.

One day when she was younger, she cut her hair short on her own and announced she would be a boy from then on. She lasted two days before she came home crying to her mother, upset with her decision because "boys are smelly and mean".

Refur

His name is Icelandic for 'fox'.

Refur has a very limited vocabulary, and often misuses words. If he doesn't know what word to use when he's speaking, he'll give up without finishing and move onto the next sentence.

In water, he is incredibly buoyant, and actually can't sink at all. It makes fishing a little difficult.

He was born from a block of ice.

Despite his friendly and sociable attitude, he is very independent, and spends most of his time alone (when Xavier isn't around).

Prompt V:: Voice (Refur)

So I'm unable to find a voice for Xavier at the moment (more like I can't remember the voice sample I found for her like years ago woops), but the perfect voice for Refur is Vic Mignogna in his role as Edward Elric (FMA)! Although Edward's personality is much angrier than Refur's character, his voice is the same regardless.

Prompt II:: Favourite Song

When Xavier was little, her mother would always sing this tune, as a lullaby and as a song to keep her spirits up when she worked. Xavier never understood the personal meaning behind it until she was much older and was finally told her father was a sailor, before he and his boat were lost at sea during a storm, when she was an infant. Now, it is Xavier's favourite tune and she would probably like any rendition of it. 

Due to never being exposed to any other music, it is also Refur's favourite song, as Xavier will often absent-mindedly hum or sing it when she is spending lazy days with him.
