Happy Birthday to @jisoomes!
This is a birthday gift because she loves my OC for Effie’s mother so I did something… Well, I tried to do something short that obviously ended up being huge XD Anyway, there is hayffie in there but it is very light so I understand if you don’t want to read a 11K one shot about what’s basically an original character, don’t worry haha!
It was really fun to write from Elindra’s pov though. Effie resents her for so much stuff (and she’s certainly toxic and abusive on a lot of levels) but, from her point of view, I realized there was stuff Effie was angry about that actually made a lot of sense from Elindra’s side… So it was an eye opener for me too! Who knew!
Also, this Elindra backstory existed long before TBOSAS came out but I’m happy to see I wasn’t totally off mark on a lot of points. There is NO SPOILERS for that book but you might recognize a couple of names flying around if you squint.
This is basically my default verse, my default background story for Effie. If you read my os regularly, you will probably recognize a few familiar OCs in there.
(My OCs are not up for grab so don’t use them, thank you!)
Elindra Trinket
1.
The powder in the compact had caked.
Cheap. Like everything else in the small apartment Elindra shared with her father.
She crushed the hardened clumps of powder with controlled anger. From time to time, she glanced at the mirror mounted on the dressing table.
