Have they ever been so overwhelmed they had to stop and take a break from something?

30 Uncommon Character Development Questions | Accepting

In Arlise’s earlier years, she rarely became overwhelmed by things. As she got older; and as her children got older, Arlise would easily become overwhelmed as the children were all in school (with the exception of Melody) and she would suddenly have many things thrown upon her shoulders involving due dates and projects that she would easily become overwhelmed and thrown into a panic attack or two.

                                                             “Night surfing?” 

Arlise’s brows furrowed as she contemplated the very thought. All things considered, did it seem to be safe? Yes, it certainly did. But  would her motherly instincts tell her otherwise? Of course they would. There was no question. 

                                                         “Are you sure it’s safe?”

The question came out anyways. The young woman puzzled the blonde’s request. It did sound like fun.... But maybe it was best to be left for the more experienced surfers.  Which left herself out of the equation. 

                  “You’re not gonna drown on me or get bite by a shark or something, right?”

A light laugh escaped the brunette’s lips.  She had been left in charge of Leslie, and she was determined to keep the adventurous  teenager safe while in her care.

this is a quick psa for some of the roleplayers out there with vision impairments. i felt the need to put this out there to let everyone know that it’s okay to be upfront and honest with your partners if you have a hard time reading stuff on their blogs because the text or color combos mess with your eyes. as someone who is nearly blind in one eye, i sympathize with how awkward it is to approach someone and let them know you literally cannot read their stuff. to everyone who reads just fine, please exercise patience if you have a roleplay partner that comes to you asking questions about your rules or about pages because they can’t read them clearly. thank you all for understanding! <3

Emily practically leaped out of bed the second her eyes opened and registered sunlight coming through the windows. She ripped open the door of the bedroom she shared with Cori and tore down the hall to her parents room, banging it open as she raced across the room, and leapt up onto her parents bed…and also onto her mother. Paying no attention to the clock (which stated that it was only 6:30 in the morning), she began to jump up and down.

             ❝ Mommy. Mommy! Daddy! Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? ❞

Too excited to let them wake up and think, she proclaimed,

            ❝ It’s my birthday! Today’s my birthday! ❞

           ❝ Hmm, that’s nice Em. ❞

Arlise sleepily replied, not registering a word Emily had said quite yet. Her eyes were shut, and her body had little desire to get up. Fifteen seconds into Emily’s announcement, Arlise’s dream world starting floating away from her as reality set in.

          ❝ Happy Birthday, Emily. ❞

Arlise spoke, nearly positive the words had come out correctly as the last bit of sleep trickled away. 

         ❝ What does the birthday girl want for her birthday breakfast? ❞

She asked, as her eyes fluttered open at last.

I want to get back into this character, but I feel so unwelcomed in the Narnia fandom. 

However, apart from group members, I will probably focus a lot of time on multi-verse threads. 

Also, a lot of updating is going to happen to this blog. Slowly, but surely.

IMPRESSIONS QUESTIONNAIRE

It’s important to know who your muse is in their own eyes, but what about in the eyes of those they meet? This is what I like to know about my rp partners, and what I want them to know about my muse. Keep in mind that these questions are intended to be general and there is never a right or wrong way to approach another character! All writers have to decide for themselves what to do with this information, but it can still be useful.

repost and tag five people.

1. what impression does your character normally make on others? friendly? repulsive? intimidating? unremarkable? secretive?

Arlise generally comes off as friendly towards others. It is in her nature to be as friendly as she can towards people, despite the life she lived growing up. During certain situations, Arlise can seem a big strange and eccentric, which is largely due to her creative side. If you catch Arlise with her children (both born and adoptive), she is fiercely protective, and watches everyone who comes near them, and can seem intimidating. 

2. what impression does your character want to make on others? how do they show it, and do they succeed?

Arlise would like to come off as friendly, sophisticated, and respectful. More often than not, Arlise succeeds at doing such - however, everyone has their off days, or days when they are on edge / protective. There are times Arlise can be found wearing what some may call ‘unsophisticated’ clothing, etc. 

3. how does your character expect to be met? do their expectations make them act a certain way? how do they feel if they are met another way?

Due to her unsettling childhood, Arlise has low expectations of others on how she should be treated. These expectations affect Arlise, who shows great surprise, when she is treated with grace and respect; especially by those whom she does not know / know well. When Arlise is met with poor respect, it is only natural for her to get immediately defensive of herself, and can often say things she doesn’t mean or things that should not be said. 

4. what does your character look like? how do they dress? how do they move? what things do they carry around - weapons, food, books?

Arlise frequently has brown hair, which she sometimes wears blonde. Her hair typically flows in curls, usually coming to rest below her shoulders. She is 5′5″ in height, and has a slender, thin form.  During Arlise’s early childhood, Arlise was could be found wearing jeans and t-shirts, often times going shoeless. (She found it appropriate to keep her shoes in good condition for special occasions). The Riordan family didn’t have much to their name, but they were always provided with food, shelter and clothing. After Arlise’s mother and sister perished, Arlise could be found wearing rather dirty, ripped clothing that often had traces of leaves and branches sticking out of them. It wasn’t until Arlise’s arrival in Narnia that she finally got to wear dresses, something that Arlise always awed in store shops, but never dared touch. Now, if Arlise isn’t wearing some sort of dress, she can usually be found wearing jeans or shorts, and a nice shirt, and rarely goes shoeless unless she is on the beach.  Arlise is often seen carrying around an assortment of baby items and children’s toys. When possible, Arlise tries to carrying her diary (which doubles as a songbook), a book to read, her guitar or a camera. 

5. is it likely that other characters have heard about yours? if so, what might they have heard?

Seeing as Arlise is the bride of King Edmund Pevensie, therefore Queen by marriage, many of the Narnians have heard of her. During her first few weeks stay, Arlise had a blank slate, feeling utterly alone. In a matter of time, however, the Narnians started hearing of rumors that their King was to wed the new welcomer.  One can presume that they have heard many good things about Arlise - she is gracious and nice. Fiercely loyal to her family and those she trusts. A bit dainty at certain Narnia cultural aspects. Some, however, can say that they feel Arlise is child crazy, and plans to adopt every stray child she finds; something very much untrue, though Arlise wouldn’t oblige to such things.

6. is there anything about your character - their appearance, their voice, their personality, their clothing and so on - that is especially striking? is it something people are likely to notice right away? Arlise’s voice tends to be rather raspy, which is something people tend to notice quickly. But she’s able to belt out lyrics with a nice, flowing voice. 

7. what secrets does your character have? how well do they hide them? Arlise’s isn’t naturally a secretive person. To her loved ones, Arlise will happily open up about the hardships of her childhood, and rarely keeps something to herself. She will, however, keep something to herself if someone asks her to, as long as it will not harm anyone. She typically hides others secrets well, though at times she does give a warning glance to the person in question.

8. how does your character speak? do they stutter, or do they easily find words? are they blunt, or tactful? what does their voice sound like? Arlise only has a stutter to her voice when she is particularly flabbergasted. Over time, Arlise’s vocabulary has greatly increased, and she finds words coming to her much easier than they use to, though certain subjects still take time to think through. Arlise is more tactful. She still has her raspy voice.

9. where is your character likely to be found? the kitchen, the garden, school? Arlise can easily be found near children, happily sitting in the garden reading a book, walking along the beach with others, or tucked away in her section of home at the castle - particularly in their kitchen, cooking for her kids.

10. in what mood might they normally be found? how do they react to being disturbed? Arlise is typically found in a good mood, but she is usually very tired. Because of this, she can be slow to react and have a tendency to stare blankly at the other for a while. Arlise usually does not mind being disturbed, but at times she really does value and crave alone time, and can get upset when one disturbs her during that time if it is not an emergency.

             ❝ —"MOM!" ❞

Essence’s voice echoed throughout the house, shortly followed by the sound of stomping footsteps.

            ❝ Mom! Easton thought it would be funny to use my health project to make                            brownies with! ❞

Essence’s face was red, as she threw the empty flour bag down to the floor at her mothers feet.

            ❝ Look at this! Can you believe him? I swear, if I fail because of him…❞

Essence let her thought trail off, knowing it could very well earn her an automatic grounding. 

           ❝ What am I suppose to do now? ❞

[thegraciousqueen]

It wasn't every day she heard any of her kids screaming - no matter what the reason might be, which is exactly why Arlise jumped. Essence, of course, had earned her title of drama queen, but today, she had good reason. 

           ❝ He what? ❞

Arlise asked, irritated, as her eyes peeled from Essence down to the empty flour bag. A moment later it was Arlise’s voice that echoed through the Pevensie household.

           ❝ Easton!❞

Knowing very well her son wouldn't make an appearance when his sister was around, Arlise called one more time. 

          ❝ Easton you do realize that you're grounded young man! ❞

Arlise shook her head, as she silently bent down and picked up the empty bag. She had to admit, she had no clue how they would manage to fix this on their own.

          ❝ I don't know what to do, Essence. Your father and I will fix this.❞

“Rosalie.” The words crept out in a whisper. Dehydration was beginning to set in, and Arlise’s mouth felt dryer than the Sahara Desert. “We need to get out of here.” Arlise’s legs were curled under her body, as her head limply rested against the wall. At least she wasn’t chained up anymore - Rosalie had been nice enough to break the chains off both of them, nearly breaking Arlise’s wrist in the process. 

“How did we ever manage to end up in this situation?” It was a nearly constant thought in Arlise’s head, and yet, she never managed to come to a conclusion. “Rose?” Arlise’s head slowly turned to look at her blonde companion. “Rose. You managed to break the chains. Can’t you break us out of here, too?” Arlise was desperate. It didn’t help matters that the psychotic clown hadn’t shown up in days.
