What’s your OC’s go-to aesthetic for a ball? Is it consistent or varied? What’s their goal behind this? are they just trying to fit in, to distract, to mislead?
Lise is going to wear whatever Teia picks out for her, which is usually something flowy, ethereal, and modest. Shes not supposed to look like a Crow at all, since her shtick is playing innocent and naive until she can (literally) stab you in the back.
She doesn’t have an alternative choice for what she would pick for herself because, if she had the choice, she’d simply not go. Although if she absolutely had to, she’d pick any of these just to see the look on Viago’s face. He calls her a fool a lot, so why not embrace it?
Lise to Viago before every dance ^ (spoiler it’s Illario)
Where are you most likely to find your OC during a ball? Balcony? Bar? Spying behind privacy screens?
She’s on the outdoor terrace getting some fresh air, she finds the whole ordeal of these events exhausting and when she hides up here it’s less likely she’ll be told to perform or asked to dance by someone who isn’t Neve (or Manfred)
(Unless it’s a pre-VG ball, then you’d probably find her sneaking off to cozy up to a certain traitorous cousin)
What’s their opinion on dancing? Do they have a favorite type of dance?
Lisel quite honestly hates partner dancing. When dancing solo, she messes up her steps all the time but is really skilled at making this go unnoticed. That’s a lot harder to do when you’re dancing with someone, especially someone you don’t know well.
With this in mind I think she’d be a waltz girlie, since waltzes are easy to keep time with and predictable.
While more of a performance setting rather than a ballroom dance one, I totally HC that Lucanis gets really good at predicting when and how Lis will mess up, so he might be one of the few people who Lis doesn’t mind partnering with.
Spite on the other hand would absolutely be calling her out: “SHE DID PAS DE BOURRÉE! SHES SUPPOSED TO PAS COURU! WRONG WRONG WRONG!”
Hopefully this is interesting to some of y’all! I’m obsessed with ballroom stuff in media so I personally will eat anything you say about your OCs up.
