♘- fall outfit

(( As temperatures start to cool, Adri quickly reverts to long skirts. This is mostly because of her desire to be able to smuggle an entire arsenal of weaponry anywhere she goes. Until the onset of winter weather, she’ll still prefer short sleeves or even one, possibly with some optional layering for rain or wind. Because of her vocation as a jeweller and her desire for long skirts, she tends to go for more conservative, almost perennial, fashions rather than the latest trends – unless something comes along which suits her purposes. She prefers reds and purples for fall, in general, though almost anything “fall-coloured” or even basic black might do, depending on the occasion. ))

4. Any addictions? (Food, sex, drugs/alcohol, shopping, power/control, etc.)

(( Adri’s excessively dependent on affection to stave off depression – and she doesn’t really know how to get it except from lovers. ))

Hot Damn!

‘It be kinda funny ‘ow many sylvari I been wi’, withou’ even lookin’ to be. Cali made m’ feel so good so much o’ the time we was together… Mm. Even wi’ seemin’ to avoid me now, an’ ‘ow tha’ ‘urts, I still gotta say 8 out o’ ten. Woulda been 9 afore.’

❊:Wealth or Ambition

Adriwyn shook her head with a dry chuckle. ‘I’s been offered wealth. I prefers to earn it m’self, an’ I’s been managin’ to do so. So, I reckons I’s livin’ out a choice in favour o’ ambition.’

20:Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?

‘Well, I don’ remember all of ‘em, but I ‘ad the usual, I’s told. Mumps, measles, chicken pox, mumps again – an’ tha’ weren’ ‘spected, but it ‘appent. Though, for all I got some bad thin’s to say about Priestess Japera as a administrator for the orphanage, she were good ‘nough at ‘er ‘ealin’ arts. Din’ get no scars from all o’ tha’, nor playground accidents – though them wasn’ really, bein’s as I got pushed, I din’ fall.’ She shrugged, more or less dismissing the memory.

8:Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

The faux redhead pondered long enough, it wasn’t clear she was going to answer at first. Finally, she sighed, shaking her head and moistening her lips. ‘I ain’ real sure wha’d count for indulgin’. Some folks is seduced by their fears, for example – though they wouldn’ see it tha’ way. I tries to confront mine, so I don’ reckon that oughta be on my list, though. Even out o’ my pleasures, though… hrm. Brandy… be kinda a ode to a lost love, but… I don’ overindulge, so tha’ prob’ly don’ count as “favourite”. More jus’ ‘abit, now. I reckons cheesecake prob’ly be wha’ counts, bein’s as I so often ‘ranges to share it wi’ a lover.’

She shrugged and shifted her position a bit. ‘I reckons, as to feelin’s around it… it be kinda like… enjoy some thin’s whiles you can, ‘cause there ain’ no guarantee y’ curren’ prosperity won’ vanish one way or another. Sort of a … way to make some use o’ what I ‘as now, an’ not jus’ ‘ope tha’ puttin’ wealth away for the future goin’ be useful.’

Apathy.

Leaving her shop for her afternoon break, Adri took the low road home for once, feeling like the longer walk would do her good. She heard all manner of things, as usual. Her magic wasn’t all that discriminating in what it brought to her attention on the breezes. She shook her head a bit, and pondered as she walked. So many snippets of things she would once have been passionate about, and trying to intervene. Somewhere along the way, she’d changed. She wasn’t so sure she missed it, even. Being pulled in too many directions at once, her heart going every which way to every problem – no. She wasn’t sure whether she’d simply used up her lifetime quota of caring already at 21, or whether she was smarter now, but that was not how she was any more. Now, if it didn’t impact directly on her life, she couldn’t manage to care. Some ghost of her old ways tried to gibber for her attention, to tell her this was wrong of her. She didn’t care about that, either.

Muse Thing Prompt

MUSE THING PROMPT!

Tagged by many, and I forget by now who was the first to make it general rather than for Adri.

Name of Your Muse: Lorelei Hydrangea Larkspur

One Picture You Like Best of Your Muse’s FC:

No actual FC, but while trying to find one, I did find this that I think does a pretty good Lori:

Two headcanons that you have for your muse that you never told anyone.

1. Lori’s getting used to being the de facto Lady of her little piece of the House, and really isn’t’t that interested in her mother’s possible cure or recovery any more.

2. She’s not an actual separatist, but she does have something of a chip on her shoulder about how Kryta has chosen to deal with Ebonhawke as a client state with its nobles as second-class when recognised at all.

Three things that your muse likes doing in their free time:

1. Reading (almost anything).

2. Walking.

3. Recently, she’s added practicing her magic, though that has its risks.

Two things your muse regrets:

1. Not having started trying relevant magics herself sooner, either for her mother’s benefit or her own.

2. Not having paid better attention to the politics of the Reach even while so busy taking care of her mother.

Two phobias your muse has:

Suffering a debilitating, wasting disease like her mother.

Losing her wealth and privilege – she knows that she has no “commoner” skills, and is sure of that thus leading to starving in squalor and obscurity.

Muse Thing Prompt

Of course, I can’t resist pointing out that my muse is

Melpomeni, and this meme is actually about characters – but with that aside….

MUSE THING PROMPT!

Tagged by many, but first by luxelen.

Name of Your Muse: Adriwyn (as given by the orphanage – original name unknown)

One Picture You Like Best of Your Muse’s FC:

No FC – I’ve looked repeatedly, and there isn’t one that suits me.

Two headcanons that you have for your muse that you never told anyone.

1. Adri’s far more psycho than anyone seems to have picked up on. She’s not really as fluffy-cuddly-minded as most people think. Well, she is with those she likes, but it isn’t just hard luck that’s had her lose track of how many people she’s killed.

2. Adri flat-out doesn’t understand what other people think of when they think of “family”. She “gets” that you’re supposed to ask people about how their family is doing, and she do genealogies, but the closest matching concept in her head is “gang”.

Three things that your muse likes doing in their free time:

1. Reading.

2. Exercise (fighting training, gymnastics, etc.), if she hasn’t had enough already from actual fighting while out and about.

3. Doodling and then actually properly drawing up new jewellery designs.

Two things your muse regrets:

1. Messing up her relationship with Adilah (and thus also with Caileen). Not that it was entirely her fault, and intellectually she knows that, but some of it was, and it’s all very much unresolved emotional pain for her.

2. Not being the leader her troops needed her to be in Orr – no matter how much of that was their own prejudices. She feels she should have managed better despite that.

Two phobias your muse has:

Technically, she doesn’t have any phobias, though she does have PTSD, and other fears and anxieties that people sometimes mis-label as phobias. Two specific entries in that category, though….

1. Abandonment. She’s only actively walked away from one of her relationships. Everyone else has dumped her. The more entangled her life gets with those she loves, the worse it hurts when it happens again.

2. Being crippled – especially in combination with the above. This is getting a little better as she begins to have some fallback resources of her own, so she’s not as dependent on being able to fight for a living, but it’s still a big one in her psyche.
