If the Wizard ever becomes a romanceable NPC, the Witch, his ex wife, must also become romanceable. Keep her chaotic. Don't make her conventionally attractive. Maintain the balance. Give me the Witch.

👀 Banger combos, Rose, thank you!

----------

"Perfume" - Hedda/Her Nurse (The Witch and Caroline's mom)

Hedda swore she could still catch the scent of it: rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, rubbed into her palms from her nurse’s wrists. It used to tower over the dust and damp earth that so often surrounded them. It had soothed her and excited her in equal measure, salve and aphrodisiac all in one.

She might have noticed it clinging to Magnus sooner, had her desperate mind not latched onto it so firmly as hers.

The potions often drowned the memory. When they couldn’t, incense. Some nights, Hedda just lit matches, let them burn, blackened her senses with smoke.

----------

"Hair" - Gil/Marlon

Gil watched Marlon studying his hair in the bathroom mirror, aggressively combing it with his fingers. They both knew he’d never find a “good” angle; the grays were everywhere.

“Getting stressed is gonna make it worse,” Gil pointed out from the doorway.

Marlon scowled. He didn’t respond.

Gil walked into the room, settled behind Marlon, and worked his own fingers through his tangled locks. “Still feels the same.”

Before long, Marlon dropped his arms, giving Gil’s hands more space. “It’ll get coarse eventually.”

“I’ll leave you then,” Gil deadpanned.

Marlon glared at his reflection, and melted into his touch anyway.

Just realised The witches hut looks just like the Junimo house from the Junimo catalogue. just with witchy decoration. (prob robbed from her ex husband)

It's true that Rhiannon (my name for the Witch) is alarmingly liberal when it comes to doling out curses. But based on her low profile, the shrines in her hut, and the shockingly beneficial "curse" she bestows upon you in the form of the Void Egg, I hypothesize her curses function as tests of character. She has a twisted interest in measuring people's capacity for unconditional love. For their mates, for their children, for their friends, for other living things. This fascination may have to do with whatever happened between her and Rasmodius the Wizard.

Some avert or reverse the curses through the proper actions. This is why, for instance, your farmer is blessed with a Void Chicken that makes them money through their special eggs if you choose to hatch the egg the Witch leaves in your coop.

Others…aren't so thoughtful, and they pay a terrible price for it.

Should the Witch have a house in addition to the interdimensional swamp hut?

Yes, a cottage nestled in the forest

Yes, a tower

Yes, a manor

Yes, a spooky house

No, the one-room hut lacking indoor plumbing is plenty

So about the Witch, Ras's ex, a mysterious woman who from this moment on I shall call Rhiannon...I don't think Ras is necessarily lying about what had happened between them. Rather, there are details from the story he leaves out.

Rhiannon had never been conventionally attractive even before the "mistake" Ras made that would turn her "green with anger and envy." When they met, she looked exactly like she does today, minus the green skin. But looks didn't matter to Rasmodius--and it certainly wasn't the reason he'd go on to cheat on her with Caroline! He fell in love with Rhiannon for her intelligence, passion, and creativity. As he says himself, they were "together for many years." So once upon a time, they were happy.

But something happened. Or perhaps, it had been an accumulation of things? Finding out Rhiannon couldn't bear children. Looking for magic workarounds for their infertility only to meet failure and heartbreak again and again. Rhiannon sinking into the throes of mental illness she had always been predisposed to as the years wore on, leaving Rasmodius feeling helpless and unwanted. And eventually, bored and resentful.

Infidelity, understandably, brings up many hard feelings. There is never an excuse for it. But the reasons people cheat on their mates are often more complex than most of us want to recognize. It's a hard fact to stomach, but sometimes people can love their mates and still cheat on them, often using that very love to justify it. Caroline, for instance, goes astray because of Pierre's neglect and her own residual reluctance to settle down (and, in my rendition of events, grief). But this has nothing to do with not loving him. In her mind, she rationalizes it as a solution: "I can get all the excitement I want without trying to force Pierre to be someone he's not. I won't have to give up this good, safe, stable thing we have."

For the record, no, Rasmodius did not seek out Caroline with the intent of knocking her up! By the time they'd started seeing each other, he'd long since given up on having children (...ironic, as his affair with Caroline would conceive Abigail). He was just unhappy with his marriage and could find no way to fix it, but he also couldn't find it in him to leave Rhiannon while she was suffering. Along came Caroline, who offered a pleasant distraction from his problems in return for distraction from hers.

He may fool you into believing otherwise, but in matters of the heart, he's a coward.

Then Rhiannon catches them together one night, and...well, you can imagine the rest.

Even today, Rhiannon has difficulty getting by from day to day, hence her hiring a goblin to take care of her hut while she's away. She just decided she'd rather struggle on her own than stay with a man who no longer respects or cares about her. Relatively speaking.

I say "relatively" because their split hasn't stopped either from continuing to obsess over and torment the other in present day. Yes, they are those kind of exes. Only Ras tries to put on a pretense of maturity about the matter, whereas Rhiannon has long since given up on trying to be palatable. Meanwhile, everyone around them suffers for their games.

...

As an aside, I have a headcanon that Rhiannon is the one who turned Caroline's hair green. A sort of scarlet letter, if you will (or should I say, verdant letter?). When Pierre asked about it, Caroline told him that her hair must have turned green from all her "special tea". Pierre did not question her further.
