Can you tell new followers (IC or OOC) about Rin's Harvest Witch heritage, her connection with Kat, and how she got involved with Larksapur (bonus points for also explaining the impact that relationship is having on her given the complex relationship between elves and the Alliance in general)?
Interesting questions! I’ll handle these Out of Character.
Harvest Witch: Initially she was raised to follow the Light by her father. It was after the Fall of Gilneas and the death of her father that she learned her mother was a Harvest Witch. Her mother did not survive long after the fall, but she spent her last days teaching her daughter about her witchcraft and the lineage of Harvest Witches she came from. This is what encouraged her to learn witchcraft from Roxlyn when given the opportunity. She would not call herself a true Harvest Witch proper, but she has read any books she could find on the craft.
Kat: Kat and Rin have known each other since Rin was a tiny child and Kat was a slightly less tiny child. Rin was an awkward young girl from a poor family and bullies targeted her. Kat was personally responsible for being the one to protect Rin from her bullies and became the first person she connected with. Rin kept to Kat’s heels like a scared puppy and Kat was always there for her.
Due to events in Kat’s life, she had to leave the girl she saw as an adopted sister for a time. After Gilneas fell and after Rin’s time studying in Darnasus, Kat helped Rin start her life again in Stormwind. Kat and Rin love each other, though Kat has thoughts on Rin’s life choices, including her witchcraft and her choice of girlfriends.
Larksapur: Things started by random chance here. Walking around Stormwind and on the mend from her first real heartbreak, Rinnessa bumped into Larksapur the courier, who promptly dropped some of her packages. Rin helped her pick them up and offered to walk with her to her destination as an apology.
The conversation came easy, even if they were prone to rambling. They spent more time together, talking about trips they would love to take, baking treats (or rather, Rin baking and Lark eating,) and spending nights drinking on the roof of Rin’s flat.
Rin kissed Lark because it felt like the thing to do in the kitchen. Lark was apprehensive about getting attached to a human she would have to watch die. Things slowed down and Lark took time to visit her sister.
When she returned, they continued to deepen their bond, being there for each other when Kat went missing, Roxie was kidnapped, and Lark found herself without a place to live. They finally pushed past apprehensions to start dating and Larksapur moved into Rin’s flat.
From there it’s been cute queer moments, sex that accidentally triggered a fertility blood magic ritual, matching pregnancies, and a son and daughter! There, you’re caught up on Rinsapur.
