#zimri dnd

[coffee-or-murder]

It’s my very first dnd character ever! Her name is Zimri, she is a bard, and I will love her forever even if I spent most of the time playing her doing death saves. Zimri, Ra’d, and Kerri are a thing in modern au. In modern au she is a hard working sugar baby, drives a rose gold lambo, and very much enjoys showering her partners with gifts. I like to think her and Danya perform at the same exclusive club sometimes, maybe have drinks afterwords.

[coffee-or-murder]

Have fun with these from the OTP ask: Zimri- 4, 6, 7, 12 Laura- 2, 6, 8, 13 Amaryllis- 3, 6, 10, 20 and Daffodil- 4, 6, 16, 21 love you 🤎💛💚🧡

Okay this is long so I'm just gonna put a Read More here so it doesn't clutter people's dash. Also this took forever to transfer from my notebook to here >,> Sooner or later I’ll get the other prompts I’ve already written on the computer. 

ZIMRI: The OG Hoebag - Also going to do Modern AU her since that’s the least complicated most fun one. 

4. Favorite non-sexual activity

Going on walks with her girlfriends, cuddling in bed, or stealing kisses while one of them is cooking. Zimri loves showing off her partners, but also prefers their attention to be on one of them, so it’s a fun game for her to find different ways to keep their attention on each other or herself. 

6. Favorite feature of their partners?

For Ra’d it’s her neck, shoulders, and chest. For Kerri it’s her jawline, arms, and thighs. Also both of their eyes and mouths. Zimri is really just a fuckin fool for both of them. They walk in the room and she immediately looks at them. 

7. What's the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?

Thankfully modernAU Zimri has significantly less problems than canon Zimri, so as soon as she realizes her feelings for Ra’d aren’t just “holy shit she’s hot” Zimri starts to give her a ton of gifts and blatantly flirts. It still takes forever for Ra’d to realize Zimri is flirting. 

If I remember right they met Kerri in a bar. Zimri hit on Kerri first because “wow she’s hot AND funny? Ra’d can we take her home please?”, but Kerri didn’t think she was serious at first, so Zimri threw Ra’d at her to explain. Ra’d cannot lie, so Kerri is Convinced. Kerri also gets a ton of gifts and when they all move in together Zimri routinely steals bits of clothing or accessories so they match. 

12. Who initiates kisses?

Zimri is more of a boob/thigh grabber, but she’s very physically affectionate overall so she would encourage the girls to kiss her. 

LAURA: Ship Sapphic

2. Big spoon/Little spoon?

All spoons, though since they’re mostly on a ship it’s hard fitting more than two people in a bunk/hammock. She does lean to the jetpack style with larger partners and big spoon with smaller, but is mostly just happy to be with them. 

6. Favorite feature of their partners?

Vaska’s is her back, arms, and hair. Grusha is her soft tummy and thighs. Hallafax is her eyes, hands, and just her skin in general is so lovely. 

8. Nicknames? If so, how did they originate?

Laura uses very boring nicknames tbh. Her father is a bard (one of the bardiest considering he seduced a literal sea demon out of a contract for his soul and got a baby and a demon wife out of it) but she sure isn’t. Vaska tends to be lovely, Grusha sweetness, and Hallafax darling. 

13. Who reaches for the other's hand first?

Laura is so damn soft but is always a little nervous about her hands. She has little paw pad texture on her palms and the tips of her fingers, and sharp claws she keeps filed down, so she’s a little self conscious of her hands. Though she is the first to play with someone’s hair, or try to spin someone into a dance. 

AMARYLLIS: The Lion Empress AKA VIllianAU Version

3. Most common argument?

Pre figuring out their nonsense it’s the back and forth of “Would you stop using misty step and jUST LET ME EXPLAIN MY PLAN YOU MIGHT LIKE IT” and Eilidh just “>:P” and poofing away. After that it's who gets to top. Just two switches vying for the top. 

6. Favorite feature of their partners?

Amaryllis is just so interested in Eilidh’s tattoos, and her skin in general is just such a lovely shade of blue. She also has very nice arms that are totally not distracting at all. 

10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?

Amaryllis remembers Eilidh’s order, and Eilidh tries but her girlfriend's order is long and complicated. 

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

Her father thinks the whole thing is honestly godsent. Her grandmother is mostly relieved they didn’t kill each other. They both privately think that without Eilidh, their girl would have lost herself in the persona of the Lion Empress, and become more violent and vicious as a result. 

DAFFODIL: The Braincell, but Not By Much

4. Favorite non sexual activity?

Singing or playing music for her girls, or bathing with them. Let her take care of them in any way and she’s thrilled. 

6. Favorite feature of their partners?

Koyla is all of her lovely hair, her hands, and tongue. Vaathu is her skin, chest, and arms. Magpie is her ears, thighs, and the dip in between her collarbone and breasts. 

16. Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?

As a filthy noble it is her nature to lounge, and doing so with the lovely creatures she’s so taken with is an event she prefers to draw out for as long as possible. 

21. Who is more likely to start dancing with the other?

If they will let her, she will absolutely spin them around the room the moment something inspires her. The sun glinting just so off of Koyla’s fur, Vaathu in profile with the open sky behind her, anytime Magpie uses her wit to create new inspiration, all of it.

[coffee-or-murder]

For the NSFW alphabet meme:

Amaryllis: OBEYS

Zimri: DANCE

Zadok: FABLE

Fiore: SHIELD

Amaryllis  [O] Orgasm Denial (how do they do it, do they like it done to them) She tends to have it done to herself, mostly because both of her partners seem to enjoy doing it to her. She will make a fuss about not enjoying it. She’s lying to save face. Her partners know this. I can’t speak for Eilidh but Zadok prefers to edge themself at the same time they edge Amaryllis. They take great pride in taking care of their Empress, but refuse to give themselves satisfaction until ordered to take it. 

[B] Body Part (their favorite of theirs & their partner) Amaryllis is a knight at heart, so her body has always felt more like a tool than something to think is aesthetically pleasing. That said, she likes the shape of her tail. It looks like her fathers did before it was forcibly docked. For Zadok it’s their shoulders. They’re so solid it makes her feel safe, which is a rare thing when in her position. She used to love Sterling’s eyes, but after she was revealed as Eilidh it switched to her hands. 

[E] Experience Before Eilidh there was Zadok, and before Zadok there was Volha. Volha she was briefly with when she was out in the world trying to earn a name to impress her mother. When she came back her friendship with Zadok deepened. After she became the Lion Empress she thought she was courting Sterling, who ended up being Eilidh in disguise. 

[Y] Yearning (how often to they think of sex, how long can they go without it etc) Most days she doesn’t think about it at all. Running a country one took by force doesn’t leave much time for daydreaming. She does think about pinning Eilidh down after a fight, or of crawling into Zadok’s lap after an especially trying meeting, but she is practical and doesn’t dwell long. 

[S] Stamina High con suggests Awhile, but I like to think she’s a quick shot you can pull A Lot so it evens out. 

Zimri  [D] Dirty Secret She really enjoys nonsexual intimacy. Much more than sex. She’s more than happy to have sex don’t get her wrong, but it’s like choosing between a desert you like and one you Love. Not very dirty, but she’s such an open book about her experiences and preferences I don’t think she’d have one most would consider dirty🤣

[A] Aftercare It is quite literally her job to at least be passable at it. It’s in levels really. If it’s a job she hated its bare minimum. Job she was neutral to liked about its average. Person she cares about??? Above and beyond. 

[N] NO (turn offs, deal breakers, things they wont do ever etc) Don’t degrade her body, and don’t talk about knocking her up. You can call her Mommy but she’s going to cringe the entire time. 

[C] Cum (anything to do with it) Don’t cum in her. Cum on her. A lot if possible. 

[E] Experience All of it. She was working in the court as an entertainer both in and out of bedrooms, and once that went south she was trying to curry favor with someone with enough power to get Prem out of that hellhole. Also being a bed warmer means she doesn’t have to pay for said bed. More money into the funding for a private army!! 

Zadok [F] Favorite Position They really enjoy kneeling while their partner is above them to give head, either reclining on something or with Zadok holding them against a wall above them. Zadok is also a fan of penetration in a one leg up straddle position. They are on the larger side though, so that’s not always a comfortable position for longer sessions. Wall sex in general is a plus.

[A] Aftercare They are so soft afterwards with Amaryllis. Carry her one armed while they draw a bath for them both. Gentle kisses and reassurances, salves if needed, cold tea before taking her to bed to properly sleep. They’re still just as soft with Eilidh but with more snark involved. Drops kisses to her forehead and cheeks. 

[B] Body Part (their favorite of theirs & their partner) They like their hands. Strong and thick, but quick enough for more delicate work. Amaryllis’ thighs are endlessly fascinating to them. Eilidh has a very tantalizing neck and shoulders. Both are perfect for smooches. 

[L] Location There’s also a running joke in modern au of these dorks where their mother always knows when they’re with a partner, so anywhere she won’t possibly find them. 

For the wartime era though they prefer a closed door. With a lock. Whether there’s a soft spot behind that door doesn’t matter as long as there’s a wall. 

[E] Experience Not much really. Before their friendship with Amaryllis changed they didn’t feel much need for it, and certainly didn’t have the time. Their experience is limited to what time they’ve spent with Amaryllis and/or Eilidh. 

Fiore  [S] Stamina Yes. Mostly because I think she actually has a hard time finishing. 

[H] Hair It’s not super dense overall, but she does have a fine happy trail of dark hair from her belly button down. She doesn’t shave, but she does trim every now and then. Just to keep everything Neat.  

[I] Intimacy Sex is fine, but she’s not really looking to be that open with…anyone at the moment. Though she is fond of casual platonic affection in the form of linking arms while walking, or leaning against a friend. Fiore is also known to drop a kiss on someone’s hand, though how much of that is because she’s secretly a shit stirrer behind that knightly outer shell vs being affectionate is a bit muddled. 

[E] Experience Enough to know what she likes and doesn’t. Fiore isn’t against a casual dalliance here and there, but she hasn’t really had any long term partners for various reasons. She might like to someday though. 

[L] Location A bed. Or a table at least. Please. She’s a frontliner in her thirties okay her bones hurt sometimes. At least for longer sessions. Quickies can be wherever.

[D] Dirty Secret She has a deeply deeply ingrained need to serve clerics, and does enjoy being at one’s beck and call. This is totally not a problem.

Zimri 🧠 ✨️ 🍕

SO I DIDN'T FORGET THESE I just got consumed with writing other things and these got pushed down the list >>' My Bad.

🧠  - What do you like most about the OC? She’s my very first dnd character ever, and even though she needs a serious reworking after bards getting the shit end of the stick in everything she holds a special place in my heart u_u She’s fun to play because I get to channel my inner theater kid, while also giving her some fun character depth under the flirty outside.

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name? Her name is technically masculine, and means “my praise” or “my song”. Her teacher gave her the name, and they meant it as a literal “this thing is a reflection of my work and talent”. 

🍕  - What is their favorite food? She is especially fond of cinnamon, and very much enjoys baked apples. Spicy soups are also a favorite of hers, with long noodles to slurp.

[coffee-or-murder]

For the super long ask meme:

Effie: 👕10, 🍽️1, 🤝9, 💓8, 🎲10

Zimri: 👕1, 📦14, 🍽️3, 💓2, 🎲11

Effie 👕10. If your character could splurge on a particular garment, what would it be? This but it needs to be More Pink and More Sparkly please and thank you.

🍽️1. What flavor would your character say their personality is? Lemonade with a shot of vodka, triple sec, and grenadine ;D Oh and that pretty sparkly food safe powder! That too. Fruity and sweet and sharp and boozy ;D

🤝9. Where is your character's comfort place? Spooning or being spooned by Tempie u_u If not with her then elbow deep in legal research or party planning. She gets in so deep with party planning every other stress sort of falls away.

💓8. What scents does your character find comforting? She likes sweet floral fruity scents the most! That or fruit and spice scents like apples and cinnamon :D

🎲10. Is there a skill your character doesn’t know they’re bad at? If videogames existed she would be amazingly awful at them. The type to just walk off the stage in Smash Bro’s while going “Did I do it? Wait where did my little blob go?? Where are they? D:”. But in universe she’s pretty aware of what skills she lacks. However she’s never tried knitting, but if she did she’d quickly find out she just makes a tangled mess. There is no saving her.

Zimri 👕1. What is your character's favorite physical trait they possess? Zimri is quite fond of all of her physical traits -she knows she’s hot shit after all it’s sort of her job- but she’s most proud of her figure. It’s hard maintaining her very pear shaped body for dance and combat and information gathering after all, but she pulls it off wonderfully.

📦14. Is there an item your character is embarrassed they own or want? Honestly? She is so hard to embarrass, nothing is really coming to mind! I think the closest thing would be that she still has the contract Avi signed to purchase her before taking her to his court and basically becoming her new dad. She pulls it out sometimes and thinks about burning it, but she misses him and his court so badly she can’t seem to get rid of it. It is a bit embarrassing because it’s basically the receipt for herself as a product, which should be an awful memory, and it mostly is but it’s also one of the last pieces of Avi’s handwriting she has left.

🍽️3. Is there a food or drink your character is unwilling to try? That depends entirely on who is in the room, who is paying for the food, and what the kitchen looks like. She’s a bit picky about food safety, but if someone paid her to eat with them she’ll eat it without complaint. She is not a fan of super crunchy hard foods though. Zimri was also raised nomadically and food was sometimes slim, so she'll eat to survive but she won't enjoy the taste.

💓2. Are there particular sounds your character is fond of? Drums and wind chimes are favorites in different ways. Drums make her feel lively and want to dance, while the chimes make her more likely to relax and close her eyes to take it in.

🎲11. Does your character have any injury stories? She once got stabbed while in bed with a visiting diplomat’s aide. Totally unexpected too. She wasn’t even trying to dig for information, she just seemed fun so she slept with her and then got stabbed! Apparently the aide had done it before, and they were able to arrest and try her for her past murders. Zimri was stronger than she was expecting for a court entertainer though, so she really only got in the one stab before Zimri was able to overpower her and call the guards. .

[coffee-or-murder]

for the Long Questionnaire,

Danya: Appearance 3, Objects 14, and Community 10

Lemon: Objects 11, Food 10, and Mind 12

Zimri: Weather 16, Community 12, and Hobbies 14

Under the cut cause this got a lil wordy lol XD

Danya 👕3. Is there something about your character's appearance that they would change if possible?She used to very badly wish she was a halfling like her adoptive mother instead of a tiefling, but her mother got her off that line of thinking fast. Now she sometimes wishes she was a bit shorter. Perhaps she’d be less scary to children if she was smaller?

📦14. Is there an item your character is embarrassed they own or want? She loves sheep. So much. Everytime something sheep shaped catches her eye she has an awful habit of snapping it up, claiming it’s for her niece, and then putting it on a little knick knack shelf in her private study. She would rather die than let anyone outside of her family know she has a large sheep plush she sleeps with.

🤝10. Is there a habit your character has that they learned from someone else? Danya picked up the habit of looping her tail around people she’s protective of from an older tabaxi uncle who worked as her mother’s guard and assistant in the courts. When her mother was in session he would stand beside her and back half a step, flick his tail behind her, and scan the room while she spoke. Danya does it now without really thinking about it or where it came from! Soon as someone she cares about stands next to her her tail just curls around them. Doesn’t touch them necessarily, but it is hovering pretty close.

Lemon 📦11. What might an acquaintance think is a good gift for your character? I think most people would look at this lil baker/healer/reader/Nerd and assume a good safe choice of gift is food or a book on arcana or cooking! They would be correct, but Lemon is also the easiest person to get gifts for. She’s just excited someone thought about her enough to give her a gift.

🍽️10. What is a childhood meal your character cherishes? Jambalaya! The spicy kind. Her uncle Benji would make it for her on her birthday sometimes. She doesn’t especially like it more then other foods, but she has very very fond memories of eating it with her little cousins and Benji and feeling like that was what a family unit should feel like. The downside is no jambalaya will taste the same as her uncles, so she’ll always been comparing it and finding it lacking.

💓12. Is your character more likely to give advice or seek it? Honestly! She would ask more people for advice if she was less worried about them lol. Lemon does what she calls a check in with the party members who seem to be having it the roughest, and those sometimes end up as advice sessions when she meant for them to be comfort check in sessions instead. If she has a conundrum she’s more likely to seek out the answer in a book then a person, not because she doesn’t value the others opinions but because she doesn’t want to be a burden. Once she’s certain she isn’t a burden she’s more likely to ask for advice more directly.

Zimri 🌤️16. What celestial body would interest your character the most? Zimri is more concerned with what’s in front of her, and worth something, but she does like looking at the stars. She and Prem used to lay out and he’d point out different constellations from his books for her, and sometimes she stargazes just to see what she can remember him showing her. The stars are different where she is now though.

🤝12. How would your character react to being put in a position of leadership? With a frown and a delicate huff. She’ll do it, but you won’t like her choices or her methods. Zimri is great at talking people up, getting them to go along with what she’s feeding them, but she’s a bit too focused on her people to always make the most…..altruistic decisions.

🎲14. What is your character’s opinion on cheating in games? If you’re going to cheat, do it well enough you don’t get caught, and don’t cheat in games against children. That’s just foolish and cruel. She’s always a little impressed by people's methods of cheating, as long as it’s clever.

[coffee-or-murder]

For the 69 asks:

Daffodil: 7, 17, 31, 45

Zimri: 2, 18, 46, 63

Olly: 4, 10, 20, 52

Danya: 28, 47, 56, 66

Daffodil 

7 - There’s a magic item made just for them–what is it? 

Fantasy Instagram and a set of hand held stone slabs for her and her girlfriends to use it OR A rapier that has charges of entangle or plant growth, themed like a rose with a thorn coming out of the petals. 

17 - They’re crying–what did it take to make them cry? 

She broke the string on her citole, doesn’t have any replacements or a way to fix it, inspiration has struck, and she has no means to utilize it properly. Cue the waterworks OR Her grandniece finally passes, which would be a much more genuine cry but also much less dramatic. More of a quietly start flowers blooming at her grave and mourn the loss. 

31 - Do they respond well to praise? How about criticism? 

Daffodil quite enjoys praise, especially if it relates to her art or coming from her muses. Criticism should be applied in a compliment sandwich, or she may take it to heart and either withdraw that aspect of herself from the equation (if it’s her muses saying it) or find a way to ruin their week (if a stranger says it). 

45 - What lies do they tell themselves? 

“My time in the wilds and those otherworldly courts with all of its pleasures were wonderfully engaging and –while I do miss my father painfully– I do not regret my meandering path through those deep woody archways. In the end it brought me to my muses in a future I could not have conceived, and I would be poorer for not knowing them. My father was always going to die before me after all. This way at least I did not have to witness it myself.”  

Zimri 

2 - What was your original concept for this character? How did playing them change that concept? 

Zimri hasn’t changed too terribly much personality wise! She’s always been a little dramatic and bougie, never shied away from using her natural assets to get what she wanted, etc. Originally her goal was to raise an army by gathering powerful people to free that man she loved from his father the archduke and his corrupt rule, and save her not-dad from having to follow the orders to hunt her down. Playing her made me rethink that idea a bit, and I haven’t totally settled on what I want from her backstory. Zimri is Under Renovations for now. 

18 - What dish brings back the best memories for them? 

The poor attempt at curry her patron and basically father Avi would make from time to time. As a duke he wasn’t well versed in cooking, but he would always make a plate for him and Zimri after a particularly long day. Zimri rarely ever ate all of it but the smell of mediocre curry still makes her think of him. 

46 - Have they taught themselves any skills just for fun? 

I like to think at some point down the line Zimri would have taught herself some basic sewing skills, mostly so she can alter her own clothes a bit. Otherwise all of her skills are for survival. 

63 - What's a meme or tiktok or vine (or whatever) that you associate with them? 

Olly 

4 - What one person, place, or thing do they love more then anything else? 

Person - Top five favorite people who all come in first place are Danya, Eden, Tsisa, Lemon, and Benji (his sisters, favorite cousin his age, favorite little cousin/baker, and his father figure) and you can’t make him choose.

Place - The hives on Danya’s land OR Rosalind’s sprawling gardens. 

Thing - His bees. He loves those little bees.  

10 - What inspired this character's creation? 

He started out as a mix between Squidward from Spongebob, Spencer from ICarly, and Coach Finstock from Teen Wolf. I knew I wanted to make the cousin that ran the bakery/cafe Lemon, and Olly was a great fit for the role of a tired grumpy secretly very soft bakery manager.  

20 - What attracts them to someone–platonically and/or romantically, anything counts. 

Platonically he tends to be drawn to people who are either a bit quiet or broody –because this man is a caretaker under all the grump– or able to match his occasional shit shitting mood with their own. Of course a good sense of humor goes a long way too. He doesn’t have much of a physical preference for his romantic partners, so it’s mostly down to vibes with Olly. Kindness and humor are the things that make him take notice of someone, then if he teases them and they either get flustered, tease back, or even better argue he’s caught. Why he likes kind of bossy goody types he’ll never know. 

52 -How would they dress themselves for a formal event? 

A well tailored suit with bee and magnolia accents as either lapel pins, cufflinks, or a wristwatch. Nice shiny but flexible leather shoes he’s scored the bottoms of for better grip. 

Danya 

28 - Do they collect anything? 

Anytime anyone brings her flowers she presses a couple of each type of bloom in books in her private office, a habit she picked up from Doran. Danya also quite likes collecting books in general, and has the second largest library outside of Rosalind’s in the main estate house. 

47 - What could they talk about for hours on end? 

Law. It would be a bit dry, but she could lecture for hours on legal processes and functions in The United Shires, how they were brought about, and how they differ between the five shires. Unfortunately she isn’t particularly talkative in the first place, so anything she would talk about at length would just be a lecture. She would much rather have someone else do the talking. 

56 - Who would they trust with their life, unequivocally? 

Eden, Olly, Benji, or Doran. If her adoptive mother was still alive she would also be on the list but she’s passed. 

66 - Which fruit do they like most? 

She is quite fond of yellow pears or pomegranates. Baked pears are one of her favorite desserts.

[coffee-or-murder]

Lemon: 7, 16, 21, 30, 36, 41; Danya: 4, 9, 20; Zimri: 2, 8, 11, 15, 34; Bells: 1, 33.

I may have gotten a little carried away >,>’

Lemon-

7. How would they react to eating something spicer than they expected it to be?

Lemon actually enjoys spicy food for the most part, but some spice just burns. She just downs her drink and keeps going though, because food is food and it should never be wasted, even if it’s making her face melt off. She coughs a lot, and gets flushed, but Bells didn’t raise a quitter!

16. Would they draw patterns in frosted windows/fogged up mirrors? What would they draw?

She would, but she’d also wipe off the picture after she’s doodled. Lemon would mostly do shapes like circles and ovals overlapping mostly, though she tried to do a coyote once and it looked so awful she never tried again.

21. Do they touch of mess with their hair/horns a lot?

Lemon has a thing about her hair thanks mom. She hates that it’s as long and thick as it is, but she also refuses to cut it unless she has too. She mostly un-braids and re-braids her hair to calm down and take stock of what she’s feeling, like a meditative gesture. Lemon will also twist the ends of her hair and pick at the split ends when she’s in waiting mode.

30. Have they ever tried to count their own freckles? Do they count other peoples?

Answered on Columbia’s ask

36. How often do they brush their hair? Do they do it gently?

Lemon brushes her hair every night she has time, and takes her time with it, normally putting it in a couple braids to keep it from getting tangled while she sleeps. If she’s really tired she doesn’t bother and just leaves it to be morning Lemon’s problem. Bells says she has a tender head, and yanking on her hair hurts enough her eyes water. On the road she keeps it in a tighter braid then usual, and will put it up in a bun to cut down on how often it needs to be brushed.

41. What’s the silliest thing they’ve used magic to do?

Answered for all casters here

Danya-

4. Would your character sing along to a vaguely familiar song, even if they messed up the lyrics as they went?

No, not unless Ed was egging her into it at least. Or one of her little cousins looked up at her with big sad eyes and asked her to sing along. She will enjoy the music in silence otherwise.

9. If someone gave them flowers what would they do with them?

Answered on Columbia’s ask

20. Do they like to keep plants/growing things in their space?

Very much so! She loves having green things everywhere, but she can’t keep a plant alive to save her life. She gets so caught up with work she forgets to water them for weeks on end, and is she was left alone to take care of the garden it would either be dead within a week or become a jungle of weeds. Thank gods she hired two gardeners oh no they’re both cute wow.

Zimri-

2. What’s their current hairstyle? Has it changed? Do they change it often?

Zimri has very long wavy beach hair that hits just at the base of her tail. At court with Prem and Avi she used to style it more, half up half down, adding jewelry or chords of shiny fabric into braids, but now that that life is over she mostly keeps it in a high ponytail. She lets it loose for performances and for very special performances will style it in the half up half down style she wore for court.

8. Are their hands steady?

Only enough to apply makeup. Other then that she’s pretty average I think. She can balance a sword on her head while she dances though!

11. How do they feel about casual endearments?

Loves them. Uses them all the time herself without really even noticing it. Zimri isn’t the best with flowery language, but when she gives you her attention she is very good at making you feel special. Her partners all have endearments she uses regularly, but in very soft moments she just uses their name. That feels more genuine to her then the endearments do.

15. What’s a sound they can’t stand?

Children singing. Does she love kids? Yes, they’re cute squishy things who are learning how to be people and she will keep them safe. Does she like hearing them sing? Fuck no, they’re always off key and pitchy and flat and sharp all at once. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to her. Once their voices settle she’ll be happy to teach them how to use their voices but until then please no singing around her.

34. What’s the first thing they think when they hear an alarm? What’s the first thing they do?

Minor flashbacks to when she attempted to murder the archduke to free his son, who was also her lover Prem, and failed. Hearing the alarms blaring as she ran, knowing her adoptive father would be the one sent to hunt her down. But once she snaps out of that she tries to take stock of what happened, and how she can best get out of whatever trouble she landed in. Guards are easy enough to tempt, and afterall she’s just a harmless girl won’t you help her?

Bells-

1. What kind of clothing does your character like to wear? Do they have a style? Anything they avoid wearing?

Despite taking a long break from being an enforcer for the Family, she still often wears parts of her armor in her day to day. She doesn’t normally leave home without her breastplate and gauntlets at least, but does also sometimes switch it out for chain mail under a larger shirt. Bells wears practical clothing most of the time, and favors warm colors like red and various browns with gold accents. Her formal wear is somewhere between masculine and feminine depending on the event, and she’ll wear her hair down instead of up in a ponytail like normal. They avoid clothes that are too tight or too unwieldy. You never know when a fight will find its way to you, and you should always be prepared. A long flowy skirt may be pretty but it isn’t practical.

33. Where are they in a group hug?

Depending on which group she’s with she’s either on the outside or somewhere in the middle. Benji and Nes are really the two who make her feel small, but they are seven feet tall so that’s not surprising. One of them is normally on the outside, then Bells, Lemon in one arm, and other cousins in between. In piles she’s normally in the middle with the other tall people, with Lemon and maybe another little cousin somewhere on her too.
