10.  the wheel of fortune  :  how well / badly does your muse take setbacks on their goals ?

10 .   the wheel of fortune:   how well / badly does your muse take setbacks on their goals?

I’d say Marth takes his setbacks in stride. He’s the type of person to buckle down for the long haul and work his way through an obstacle. Difficult or unexpected situations qualify as well, such as when he stormed a bastion to recover his stolen Falchion, only to discover it was a few kingdoms over. Or when he proposed a speedier route of travel through Adrah Pass, only to be intercepted by the Archanean army. Both his reactions to these major complications to his campaign were simply to move on from their disappointments and devise a new plan of action.

His own wedding as well. He finally scheduled it after a long two-year period of reconstruction, but when his white day approached it was postponed yet again. Instead of a happy wedding, Marth was forced to comply with his hegemon’s orders and deploy, potentially for many weeks, to a kingdom across the sea. He may have felt deeply disappointed but he kept his nerve and had no complaints. 

He understands that things won’t always go his way, either in the departments of life or war, and reacts to his setbacks accordingly. This doesn’t mean that he has infinite patience, either. Marth can be rather impatient in reality but it helps that he hides it well. As Nyna describes of him, Marth has ‘a hunger for danger’, particularly at his worst of times, but at large he keeps a cool head because anything else is not well-suited to lead either an army or kingdom.

19.  the sun  :  in general, how optimistic is your muse ? does your muse appreciate the small things in life ?

Tarot HCs

Ignatz is generally an optimistic person despite his rejection of his dreams. He tries to see the positive in any situation. He also appreciates the small details. In his supports with Cyril, he is disappointed when Cyril says he is going to clear a puddle. What someone might see as an annoyance to most, Ignatz sees it as something to be appreciated.

11.  justice  :  does your muse find it easy to be impartial in emotional situations ?

also asked by @cruelsfate and @elegiac-boar! :) major arcana headcanons

Elincia can and does act impartially but it really does not come naturally to her at all. As Crimea's queen she has to put duty first - I think her refusal to give up the throne, despite Lucia's life being in grave danger illustrates this. It's not what she wants (she never wanted to be queen in the first place) and according to their endings they're closer than blood sisters. She simply can't abandon her duty to Crimea though - especially to someone who'd try to take power so violently.

I think she likely still feels torn up about that, at least privately. Despite knowing it's the choice Lucia wanted her to make and the fact she survived... it weighs heavily on her mind. Her feelings are a mix of guilt, for choosing the crown and for letting it happen in the first place and fear that something similar might happen again. That she'll lost more people she loves. It might not be logical, I'm sure no one else would blame her, least of all Lucia but it continues to be a sore spot.

She's naturally in tune with others emotionally and finds it incredibly hard to ignore when others are in pain as well. Whilst she often has to step back and make difficult choices it's hard for her and often leaves her feeling emotionally overwhelmed. It's easy for her to empathise with people and want to take on their burdens but it's not always the appropriate course of action.

@violashe sent: "Alfonse!" His voice finally breaks through the crowd as Ashe makes his way towards the blue-haired young man. There are still some Lions he has not been able to say hello to during the event - so many people to meet, friends to greet, and activities to partake in.

But at last, there comes a chance to speak with him. "I just wanted to say hi, and that I hope you've been enjoying the ball", he says, a bright and cheerful smile on his face. "I don't know about you, but for me occasions like this can be a bit... overwhelming." He lets out a brief chuckle. "...So I hope you feel comfortable and it's not too much for you."

A realization dawns on him, and he quickly scratches the back of his head. "Oh-- um, we haven't actually had much of a chance to speak yet, have we? Even though we're classmates. You might know already, but my name is Ashe. It's a pleasure! I hope we can be friends and learn from one another."

A nod - hopefully a confident and friendly-looking one - follows. "Would you perhaps be interested in exchanging stamps for starters?"

     Head turns at the sound of his name, a small smile forming when Alfonse spots gray hair and a freckled face drawing closer. “It’s been pleasant, though it does grow a bit tiring between all the talking and dancing...” he trails off, laughing awkwardly. His feet do ache a fair amount, as testament to the fact. “We haven’t yet, but I’m sure we’ll have plenty of opportunities to speak to one another in the future. It’s nice to meet you, Ashe.”

     As for stamps, “Of course.” Cards are swapped, and the letters A.L. are newly pressed into the archer’s list when it is returned to him. “I hope the remainder of your evening is a pleasant one, Ashe.”

@violashe asked

The ball is just as beautiful and entertaining as it is exhausting after several hours, and Ashe is glad to get a moment of respite as he retreats off to the side with a glass of cool water. When he finds a spot to rest and enjoy his drink, he bumps into Ignatz, likely here for the same reason. Ashe greets the bespectacled Deer with a bright smile and a nod of his head, remembering almost in the last minute that he probably should not wave at him while holding a glass full of water. Fun though it can be, he is... very out of his element in this whole social noble stuff, and if he were to take a guess, he would imagine Ignatz might feel similar. Even if, naturally, Ashe hopes that the greenhead isn't uncomfortable or something of that nature. The ball should, hopefully, be a joy for everyone. So, he decides to inquire with some small talk. "How is the ball treating you, Ignatz?" He speaks out after taking a sip of his water. "It can be a little tiring, can't it? I don't know about you, but I'm not used to such huge groups and so much noise all the time... But it's still fun. I hope you're enjoying yourself, too." He lets out a sheepish chuckle, before gesturing with his head towards the tables with the food and drinks. "If you need a refresher, the water they have here is great, both still and sparkling. Really helps recover the energy."

Ignatz was getting a glass of water when he saw Ashe. "Oh... hello Ashe." He greeted, giving a slight wave with his free hand. "The ball has been fun so far, though I am observing from the sidelines." Ignatz never was the type to enjoy events like these, and he was relieved to find another who also felt out of place.

"Though I have met some rather... intresting... people." Ignatz thinks of that new student... was his name Gray... who approached him and made some rather odd remarks about his sketches. "But I'm sure my father will be glad that I am making potential connections that could help his business." Ignatz internally flinched when he mentioned his father. The two had never had the best relationship, but Ignatz was going to the Academy for his sake, not his own.

Taking a sip of his water, Ignatz glanced at his ring, reminded of the purpose of the ball. “Oh, do you still need a stamp? My card’s full but I would be happy to give you one.”

(Tea) "Your Highness!" Ashe approaches his House leader with a bright smile on his face and a cup of warm liquid in his hands. He briefly pauses unsurely, hesitating, before extending it to the prince. There's a hint of shyness on his face, but his friendly and open expression does not wane. "Um, you enjoy Chamomille tea, don't you? I noticed there wasn't any in the menu, but luckily I brought my own. Would you like some?"

Ethereal Ball! - 2021

     “Ashe!” Dimitri instantly cheered up at the sight of his fellow lion. He had been rather worried about the archer lately due to everything that happened to Lord Lonato- the prince knew well what losing a father figure could do to your mind and body. He wished to give Ashe all the support he could.

But he pushed the gloomier thoughts aside, this was a moment for happiness and leisure.

     “Yes, Chamomile tea is my favourite.” Icy eyes warmed in surprise. Such a tiny gesture touched his heart somehow- it could be easily considered an action out of duty to please your kingdom’s future ruler, but Dimitri didn’t want to believe that.

Dimitri knew Ashe was a kind, gentle boy. It was done out of goodwill.

     “Oh...! You are too kind, Ashe. To go all the way just to bring me this tea...thank you. Please, allow me to pour you a cup as well in gratitude. Let us share this moment.”
