Character Question of the Week

Molly

Molly was born 9 Berryripe, Year of the Ram, 92 in a different part of Kalris! She first arrived in Morenth around the year 110, with no real magical aptitude, and hung out in the Bramble Leaf Inn, bumming free food off the owner and picking out quartz fragments from the beach to play with.

Critters back then were mostly foreigners who didn't follow Imperial customs and only paid attention to the season, so she had kind of forgotten about it, especially since she can't read so she can't keep a calendar anyway and doesn't really know what day it is at any given time.

She hasn't celebrated it in a long time, but would like to if she were reminded about it.

Molly can be kind of bullheaded sometimes, and the Ram definitely represents the kind of personality she's sort of grown into. She was originally very meek and unlike a ram at all, but now that she's an orange archmage and accustomed to standing up for herself, she embodies her zodiac a lot more.

Miracle

I think Miracle will be a little insufferable with it once I learn enough about it lol. "Of course a Bear would say that". She might not be overly superstitious about it in her heart of hearts, but it's fun to judge people and have a guideline for compatibility or general life advice. I don't think she's quite 'I can't date a Scorpio' type astrology girlie. But she will give unsolicited advice if the topic comes up in a sort of 'oh you're a snake- that explains a lot' kind of way.

Anyway I requested for her birthday to be changed to make her born Gloaming, 2nd, Year of the Spider. Spider immediately jumped out to me as feeling the most Miracle. Swan and Lion were my secondary considerations.

I think the association would have influenced her enjoyment of Entomology.

And birthdays are definitely an Event for her why yes you should absolutely be celebrating her gracing this world with her existence. Just don't draw too much attention to her age, that's rude.

Dart

I keep forgetting to answer these but wanting to so I'll answer two until I catch up I guess

Favorite food! I feel like Dart would enjoy candy, pies and most baked goods. I don't think they'd particularly like sea puddings or flatbread in reality but it's more of a "I run the wayshrine for Althas I should eat these things" rather than enjoying them. They have the highborn trait, mostly because they have had a few bad run ins with non cooked food in the past (eating inkberries, accidentally eating a bug on some scrounge and probably more incidents as well) and then their parents just decided to only feed them cooked food and they've grown used to it. I don't think they'd be at all keen on salads. They'd probably hesitantly eat one if someone made it just for them and they were starving, but they'd much rather give it to someone else who'd actually enjoy it.

Dart was born the 25th of Berryripe on year 115 (Year of the Bear) They most definitely lied about their age saying they were 24 instead of 18 when they first arrived (and beforehand as well). Mostly to seem like they have a better grasp of what they're actually doing and not like they need to be looked after.

Bear

What'd I say??

Bear was born 13 Bleaksky, Year of the Bear, 83, and that's retroactively why he's named Bear. I got his age adjusted up to reflect the fact that he was a highly accomplished royal smith in the Old World and would have been fairly mature by the time he arrived, something like 31 years old.

He's probably not too interested in being reminded that he's pushing 60 and isn't likely to make a fuss about his birthday.

I definitely wanted to have him born in the Year of the Bear and I think it reflects him pretty well in that he's a gentle giant who doesn't like to cause trouble for others, but you really don't want to mess with him.
