of course i gotta go with the original, the dumbass, the ranger (?), mother of Barnaby, none other than the treasured Verya (also this got ridiculously long so im putting it under a readmore)
• wardrobe: what’s your OC(s) style like?
Verya’s style is very practical, comfortable, and sentimental, with a little flair for the aesthetiqué. Her usual color palette is mostly browns and blacks, with some dark forest greens, and she loves to accessorize with a darker, crimson red. These colors are mostly to help her blend in while she’s being sneaky. She always wears some form of a scarf/neck covering, with the scarf she wears now being a gift from a party member made from the fur of a vanquished giant squirrel. Her hair is long, landing at her mid-back, and she keeps it down for the aesthetiqué, though it can get in the way sometimes (hey, maybe that’s why she’s always falling from heights). She also wears a little half/three-quarter length cape because capes are cool man, and Blackjack has one, so of course she’s gotta wear one.
The things she keeps permanently on her person either serve some practical purpose (such as her ever-faithful Haversack) or are deeply sentimental, like the little book of etiquette she carries that used to be her mother’s, or her original crimson scarf that also used to belong to her mother.Now her Fancy Verya(tm tm tm) look is starkly different, with bright and colorful royal blues and golds being her thing. All she wants, all she needs, in this world is a nice closet of fancy dresses and ball gowns. It’s really not too much to ask. She stole Yola’s dress for the sole purpose of it was pretty. That’s it. And someone would literally have to kill her to get her to give it back. Her dress now.
Oh shit I forgot about her cool mask she also has this sick mask that she bought because she thought it would protect her from the plague (she’s got like maybe two braincells cut her some slack) but it’s porcelain white and looks a little something like this:
isn’t that cool as hell like omg
• love note: who likes who? crushes? relationships? are they mutual or unrequited?
She’s not in love or crushing on anyone specific as of yet but she has a bad habit of falling a little bit in love with everyone she meets (every good person she meets, that is). That being said, she can “visually appreciate” a villain who’s Big Sexy (I’m not saying she stopped Hilja and Dayanara from killing Yola because she thought she was cute but….)
She’s drawn to people who are authentic, and who have a strong moral consciousness (though this moral code doesn’t necessarily have to comply with what’s legal, per se). She needs someone who’s not afraid to challenge her and help her grow as a person (and in turn help them grow as well) but at heart she truly is a hopeless romantic. She’s always dreamt of the cheesy, cliché passionate romances from the trashy novels that are always laying around her house. That is to say SHE isn’t crushing on anyone right now but Alston’s got plans. Oh, does Alston have some plans. Why do y’all think I’ve been reblogging all those ship tropes????
• hobby: what do they love? what captivates them? what are their passions?
She’s a sucker for the finer things in life, although she’d prefer to get them with a five-finger discount rather than actually paying for them. Anything fancy or old and she WANTS IT. Dresses, jewelry, china sets, cutlery, pillows, nothing’s safe. At first she would steal them just to hock and sell them later on at a profit, but over time she started saving some of it for herself.
She also has an unhealthy obsession with daggers; she keeps accumulating them like a dragon (although the six daggers she keeps on her person come in handy when she needs to throw something and can’t immediately get them back).
Actual hobby-wise, she loves games of chance: cards, dice, lizard races, anything she can bet on.She also likes to try her luck sneaking into places she shouldn’t be, either through disguising herself and deception or good old-fashioned breaking and entering. That’s typically how she gets access to the finer things.
She loves feats of acrobatics (but she doesn’t like the inevitable falling that happens from any sort of height whatsoever)
She also loves to waltz but doesn’t get to do it very often.
Another, albeit unhealthy hobby of hers was mercilessly and ruthlessly killing everyone who wronged her, but she seems to be over that for now (…for now…)
And cooking (but heaven help anyone who eats what she cooks).
