[short-for-melancholy]

what might be the different playstyles for the girlies in a fighting game? in particular preferably a 2d fighter vaguely in the guilty gear/street fighter/melty blood/etc vein, but if your knowledge pool lies elsewhere i'm happy to hear design thoughts based on something else

i dont know SCHIDT mate lets fuckin do this. you can assume none of these are balanced in any way. god this is long

Hikari Finalfantasy - Hikari's a pretty mid-level melee fighter. she uses a sword and shield for quick attacks and a scythe for more powerful ones. she has a position-dependent block with her shield, and her . idk the term for these. fatalities? her Big Attack is summoning a series of divine blades and piercing you to death.

Aoi Furukane - Aoi summons one of three creatures: one focused on playing defensively, one focused on quick, light attacks, and one focused on big, heavy attacks. aoi herself, as an accountant/shipping worker, uses paperwork-based attacks. she has a block on both sides where she sits at her desk that has big stacks of forms and papers piled on either side. her Big Attack is that her creatures pack the opponent up into a crate while she signs some paperwork, then the crate is loaded onto a boat which sails off the edge of the earth.

Mel - Mel is the hardest character to play. she has no ranged attacks, no block, and no magic. she relies entirely on fluid swordplay and very precise dodges. her dodge *can* be used without sacrificing movement speed, but nailing enough dodges to close the distance to a ranged fighter can be nearly impossible. her attacks aren't flashy at all, but she's quite powerful in the right hands. her Big Attack is anticlimactically just dashing past in an instant and cutting the opponent's head off

Lia - Lia is a versatile ranged fighter who uses magic. she uses Ice, Lightning, and Fire to augment basic spells for different effects. Lightning has higher knockback/stun potential, Ice slows the opponent, and Fire deals higher damage without any knockback. her shield is omnidirectional and her Big Attack traps the opponents soul in a gem or labyrinth, which kills them.

Nest - Nest has two forms. One is a fast-paced, unarmed fighter with high speed, high damage, and no defense, and the other is an armoured sword and shield fighter that plays more defensively. She can wrap her blade or fists in magical energy for her more powerful attacks. Her block is directional in both forms (form 1 uses arms, form 2 uses shield), and the shield block is stronger. Her Big Attack is a flurry of fast-paced punches to knock the opponent into the air, then pinning them to the ground with her sword as they land.

Violet - Violet is a complicated time and probability magic fighter. many of her attacks involve setting traps to be activated later, though she does have some more normal ones. her block surrounds her with spectral clocks, and getting hit causes her to warp backwards, but if she doesn't get hit, she gets dizzy and is temporarily stunned, so be careful. her Big Attack speeds up time on the opponent until they get old and wither into dust.

Valyrie - Valyrie is a very short-range melee fighter who fights using a knife. her attacks are augmented with divine magic and there's a mechanic involved that lets her deal extra crit damage, but idk what it is. she relies on maintaining a debuff on the opponent that marks them for vengeance. her block is a precise, directional block with her holy scriptures. it's not very powerful though because youre supposed to dodge attacks better. her Big Attack is freezing the enemy in place with a piercing glare, walking up to them, and slitting their throat.

Anarcha Marion - Dr Marion is. fuck it we'll make her a grappler. she Gets you and quickly does a dangerous surgical procedure on you for big damage. her other attacks are like. spells that rot the body, and quick slashes with a scalpel. she doesn't block, but she can heal damage. her Big Attack is a grapple that lets her do magic brain surgery on the opponent to make them no longer want to fight and the battle ends.

Cassidy - Cassidy is , i think, what one would call a zoner. she fights with a bow at long distances and sets traps on the field. she can temporarily become invisible due to camouflage, and this also functions as a powerful dodge in place of having a block. her Big Attack sends a fairy to daze the opponent while she takes aim with several arrows at once.

Adela, Witch of the Veil - oh god oh fuck. we're using Original Adela for this since her corpse form can't fight. she's a versatile fighter who wields a very large sword in one hand and a staff in the other. she has powerful, sweeping melee attacks and quick flurries of dark magic. her block is omnidirectional, but stronger from the front because she uses her sword too. her Big Attack is lifting her veil to reveal a Horror Face with glowing red eyes, and the orifices on the opponent's face bleed black ichor as the camera pans back to reveal she's stabbed them through the heart.

Elyria - god. whats the most annoying kind of character? Elyria fucking sucks to fight against. she's fast and slippery and really good at interrupting your attacks. she fights with a variety of weapons for different attacks, though primarily she uses twin daggers. she dodges instead of blocks, but if youre precise you can block more powerful attacks with her own weaker dagger strikes. her Big Attack is that she puts on a nun's habit and strikes a sexy pose, and while the enemy is distracted she appears behind them and slits their throat. if the enemy is canonically ace, they will be distracted by confusion instead of arousal.

étoile - étoile is a short-range magic fighter. it's very small so it can duck under a lot of attacks. most of its magic attacks are in the form of mana blades, like an attack that causes a ring of blades to spin around its body, for instance. the blade attacks typically have that kind of vibe you get from like, snes-era games where there's a single one, then in motion several move one after another like an after-image, and then they combine into one at the end of the animation. its ranged attacks are slow but powerful starfalls, and it has an omnidirectional block. its Big Attack shows the Witch of Ascension watching through its eyes, then the opponent is struck by lightning and turned into a lifeless doll.

Caroline - Caroline is a music-based fighter! attacking in time with the beat empowers her attacks with music notes that hit the opponent an extra time, and doing it multiple times in a row stacks extra music notes, up to 4. this *does* mean that she has an advantage on maps with specific music, which i will not apologise for. its funny. most of her attacks are like, thrown weaponry like knives, but she also has some gimmick attacks like a loaf of bread that heals the opponent but slows them. her block is directional, with her pulling out a giant millstone. her Big Attack is her putting on a concert for a crowd, including the opponent, and a hail of arrows rains down on them all as she thanks them for coming.

Robin - Robin is just a powerful scythe wielder. Her attacks are difficult to manage, but her actual playstyle is pretty simple. she has good reach and her animations feel satisfying. you'll get out of her what you put in, basically. her block is directional using the scythe, and her Big Attack is just a flurry of spinning scythe attacks that kills you.

Angel - Angel is a very slow, devastatingly powerful dual greatsword wielder. Her swords are wreathed in holy flames, and she can use her wings for short bursts of flight. she does more damage the lower her health is. she uses the swords to block on both sides simultaneously, and her Big Attack knocks the opponent on the ground, where she looms over them ominously and the screen goes dark. when it lights up again, she's sitting in a dark room with her chin in her hands looking at the opponent's eye in a jar by candlelight. the flaming swords are leaned against the wall in the background, crossed over each other and releasing no light.

Peach - Peach is the floating weapons girlie! we'll call her midrange? she's got four of her blades floating around her and she sends four more off for attacks that do low damage but hit 4 times in a row. her wheelchair seems to move on its own bc she can use her powers to move it. her block is omnidirectional and uses the four defending blades to guard against attacks. this doesnt interrupt her normal attacks, but you might be limited in which ones you can do since you have to be hitting block. her Big Attack is sending out all 10 blades for a devastating storm of attacks. the elemental girlies have secret bonus animations for if you do their Big Attack when theyre at 1% hp or lower, and in peach's she uses her power to tear her bones out of her arms, legs, and ribs and launch them into the bladestorm, impaling the enemy.

Eltah - Eltah's relatively straightforward, using mostly short and medium range water attacks. if the map has no water on it, her attacks are red because they use her blood. her attacks are mostly piercing types, and her block is directional, using a sweep of water. her Big Attack is grappling the enemy and, in most cases, cause their blood to burst out of their eyes and extremities, and in lowHP cases, she pierces them with dozens of spikes of her own blood.

Vasch - Vasch floats and does a lot of lightning attacks! the vertical ones all have very specific and tight ranges, but they hit really hard, and her horizontal ones are weaker but easier to hit with. she can create patches of the map that are charged, and use her wind powers to knock opponents into the charged patches, causing powerful lightning strikes on them. her block is an omnidirectional wind sphere that deals minor lightning damage to anyone attacking her with melee weapons, and her Big Attack captures the enemy in a tornado and electrifies the whole thing. at lowHP, she places herself in the center of the tornado and calls down an enormous bolt down through the vortex.

Lefah - Lefah has a mechanic where using her makes the map dangerously hot. Enemies constantly lose tiny amounts of HP, putting them on a timer. she relies on maintaining very long range and hitting enemies with her laser guns. she has a weak directional block with her guns, and getting close to her increases the damage enemies take from the heat. her Big Attack amplifies the sun's (or the moon's) light into a huge, destructive beam that evaporates the enemy, and at lowHP she holds them in place as she creates it, and they blow up together in a massive explosion.

Reese - a gimmick fighter. she flicks gold coins onto the field and summons some schmucky cutthroat you can kind of control to attack the enemy. she can have up to 3 at once. they die pretty easily but she can summon more of them if she uses an ability to restore her gold. she can also attack herself by flicking gold coins at enemies, or slashing at them with solid gold weapons that don't do a lot of damage. her block calls one of her summoned goons to take the hit for her while she escapes, and her Big Attack is her examining a treasure map, looking out at the enemy, and pointing at them to send her whole gang digging for treasure. they all stand around your eviscerated corpse leaning on their shovels and sighing dejectedly bc there was no gold in there.

Vana - a swashbuckler type. fluid motion, short range, annoyingly cunty animations and poses. she temporarily disappears if she leaves the enemy's line of sight, so she can use that to get some cheap hits in. directional block with her sword, and her Big Attack is some annoying bullshit where she covers the screen with roses and bishie pictures of her face and sparkles and when it clears the enemy's lying dead on the pavement.

Ira - Ira has a rage meter that slowly builds over time, increasing her damage. her attacks are short-range unarmed types, but she also has instant-speed projectile attacks that don't necessarily do a lot of damage but are hard to predict. she can increase her rage meter by meditating and taking a hit. it fills more the longer she's been meditating and the more powerful of a hit she takes. rather than a block, she has a precise counter that can deal devastating damage if timed perfectly. her Big Attack makes her eyes burn with dark red flames and she unleashes a combo of attacks that ends with her punching right through the enemy's ribcage.

Erin - another gimmick fighter. her "attacks" are just flirting attempts, and if you pull off a combo the opponent will become seduced and you can do a.... "grapple" attack on them, for big damage. she can also do ranged attacks by throwing heavily pixelated objects at her opponent. her block is directional with a very long pixelated object, and her Big Attack shows her dark, swirling, half-lidded eyes with the opponent falling into them, then a collage of heavily pixelated images appear one at a time of her and the opponent in compromising positions as the sun and moon pass quickly overhead, and the last image is her with what is clearly a corpse lying in bed while she has a cigarette.

Aletha - the slowest character on the roster. she doesn't have any attack animations besides the flashes of her sword attacks bc she herself moves too fast to see. extremely short range, but massively damaging. her block is directional and very precise, and her Big Attack is just a slash that cuts the screen and displaces the top portion, cutting the opponent in half.

Orchid & Zalea - These two fight as a team bc Orchid sucks by herself. Zalea can only attack while she has food, and you have to use an ability that makes Orchid put like a stick of jerky or squid tentacle or some shit in her mouth. Zalea's attacks are slow magic spells with long range, and Orchid does close-range stabbing attacks with light knockback. Their block is directional, using a comically oversized piece of food, and deals damage as Orchid stabs the enemy three times if theyre in range. Their Big Attack is a flurry of knife attacks from Orchid as the screen goes white, and when it clears they're sitting together at a table sharing a plate of worryingly bloody meat.

and, since i promised boy girlies for marketability, heres some uh. less girl girlies.

Chase - Cassidy's identical twin brother, a wildly successful merchant. Another gimmick fighter. attacking enemies increases his Money meter, and with the money meter you can buy giant powerful weapons to use against your opponent. All of them are extremely ornamental and gaudy. directional block through a huge heraldic shield. his Big Attack requires a maxed out Money meter. theres an animation of him going to a car dealership, buying an extremely expensive sports car, and running the opponent over, sending them careening into the sky team rocket style. it freezes as he drives past the camera giving it a thumbs up.

Ano - a very tall, androgynous black elf with longer ears than you normally see on elves. they wear a snappy red ensemble with gold trim, a big matching hat with an even bigger feather, and they wear their hair in long dreadlocks. A versatile fighter with long-range bow attacks and short range unarmed strikes. they can charge up power for later attacks by playing music if theyre out of the enemy's range. their block is an omnidirectional parry, and their Big Attack creates a massive earthquake from which a mountain rises, knocking the opponent into the air. They wink at the camera and shoot the opponent as they fall.

Achrann - an imposing, very androgynous human figure. rivals Adela in height, dresses in a thick black fur cloak and boots, has very long, straight, pink hair, and carries a massive double-bladed war axe. more feminine than Ano, but still distinctly Not Girl. their attacks are huge and powerful, and they have a lot of animations with superarmour so its harder to knock them out of attacks. Omnidirectional block using the axe. Their Big Attack is leaping up off the screen and landing as a flaming pink meteor, obliterating everything in sight.

Curtis - a huge, powerful green orc dressed in fine black robes about to burst at the seams over their bulging muscles. Wears a pair of round glasses that seem way too small for their face. Very polite posture. melee attacks somewhere between the quick, fast type and the slow, powerful type. can attack with unarmed strikes or a wooden gavel, and throws a book of law at the opponent for their ranged attack. omnidirectional block using a force field around them as they leaf through a book. their Big Attack summons a tribunal of judges who all pronounce the opponent guilty, smashing them with a giant mallet.

The Ice Dragon Lia Fucked Once - what is gender to a dragon, really? anyway have you ever wanted to be a wall boss? now you can! Ice Dragon is locked in place at the edge of the stage. uses ice dragon attacks, claw attacks, wing attacks, etc. Blocks to the only relevant side with its claws and wings. its Big Attack is to freeze you in a massive block of ice and add you to its hoard.

i cant think of any more non-girls

[short-for-melancholy]

what soups would the various soup eating and enjoying girlies most prefer? feel free to skip any if you don't have ideas and/or don't want to come up with an answer except adela please

the addendum at the end REALLY got me lmao. i feel like im not enough of a soup connoisseur to know all the soups the girls can choose from but we'll try anyway

mel - honestly she's just getting whatever's cheapest. just something with meat in it, probably.

hikari - are there sweet soups? i cant think of any but if they exist thats what she'd prefer.

aoi - probably something with udon. i dont know much about japanese cuisine despite all the anime i watch featuring nigh-erotic descriptions of it

lia - give her something she hasnt tried yet.

nest - classic meat and potatoes stew kinda girlie

valyrie - hmm i dont think whiskey counts as soup... what would she like... no yknow what? valyrie would destrroy a bowl of italian wedding soup. idk if that shit has a different name or not.

dr. marion - something healthy and balanced. maybe something with barley and chicken and lots of vegetables in it.

cassidy - her dead wife's shitty leek and potato stew. if you cant replicate the clashing flavours and burnt bits that come up from the bottom of the pot, anything made from foraging in the woods and some kind of game. bear, probably.

adela (MANDATORY) - i said it had to be the blood of her enemies but that was a joke. adela's much more interested in cruelty than transmittable blood diseases. as long as its made with the best ingredients available in the town and she gets to lord over whoevers in charge, thats plenty. and 'best ingredients' usually involves slaughtering a prized cow or other animal/pet not intended for consumption.

elyria - hmm.. whats the street food equivalent of soup... this hardly counts, but im pretty sure the general idea of pasties is that theyre soup ingredience cooked in a bread roll. she'd go apeshit for those. but also she'd go apeshit if you introduced her to the concept of the Bread Bowl. so like, put some cheese and broccoli in one of those and hand it to her. she'll love it. theres no evidence you even ate soup at all!

caroline - she's from a miller family so she grew up with the concept of noodles. a classic chicken noodle girlie.

angel - i have no idea what kind of tastes she'd have honestly. 's gotta have meat tho.

peach - hm. i think she also likes the classic meat and potatoes type stew.

eltah - there are cold soups right? she'd like one of those. i cant think of any off the top of my head. soba makes a cold soup right?

vasch - vasch doesnt have like, a tongue, so she cant taste any of the soups. really the most important things are texture and the ability to swallow without a lot of chewing. soups made from like, small grains like rice or barley, and heavily diced and cooked vegetables. she likes especially if theres spices in it so she can smell it, and she likes the warmth.

lefah - she also gets a cold soup!

[short-for-melancholy]

top ten girlies who, if they hosted a tea party, you would survive unscathed?

hikari finalfantasy. a crucial aspect of a tea party is sweets and treats, and nobody makes sweeter treats than her. ideal tea party

peach! just a solid tea party figure and very gentle, despite being created for combat and killing.

caroline. nobody expects me to ever talk about caroline but she *is* the most normal girl out of all of them, so she'd make it decently well and not hurt anyone

lia. it would be food and drink conjured with magic, but thats better than nothing! probably tastes decent too. but she isnt the best company.

aoi. solidly middle of the road. it's fine but you can tell her heart's not in it. she'd rather have coffee, and all the treats she prepared pair better with coffee than tea.

dr. marion. the food would all skew towards healthy, which isnt ideal for a tea party, but like... we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here. i at least trust her to not harm me.

cassidy. it .... well, it wont kill me. it wont be very good. but she at least knows how to not kill me.

eltah. i think it would be…. interesting, to say the least. she tends to experiment, culinarily.

vana. i think as a matter of pride she'd do her best. and... *ideally* it could go very very well! but i don't know that id survive unscathed in reality.

between violet and étoile really. i dont think either is likely to hurt me, but both are kind of wild cards in that regard, and neither has a solid grasp on what food is or how to prepare it.

[short-for-melancholy]

Cooking time! Which of the girlies can we expect a delicious meal from, and which should be forever banned from the kitchen for the public good?

oh thats fun!

HIKARI: she *can* cook! extremely well! but she has an insane sweet tooth so you should be wary if she's making anything other than dessert. unless youre into things like sweet steaks and such.

AOI: solid cook. no notes.

LIA: absolutely can't cook, but can probably conjure something delicious. do you trust magic food?

NEST: cannot cook. don't trust her in the kitchen.

VIOLET: not a chance. she barely knows about eating.

VALYRIE: bland food, but edible. not the worst thing you've tasted, but not the best.

DR. MARION: Extremely good cook with a wide repertoire of nutritious meal options!

CASSIDY: her food has the distinctive quality of campfire cooking, where it only tastes good because you're outside eating it around a campfire. if you ate it in a house you'd hate it. but you probably never will, so will you ever notice?

ADELA: do not trust anything this woman puts in a cooking pot. even if she was a good cook. she's not, but thats the least of your worries.

ELYRIA: actually competent! she knows how to make all manner of foods you can eat while walking.

ETOILE: cant be assed to put the accent on that. anyway this one can't eat. so it doesn't cook.

CAROLINE: tastes just like mama used to make

ROBIN: It's Bad.

MEL: why bother making anything that tastes good when youre not going to survive to see the sunrise? (repeat every single night for 18 years)

ANGEL: there's no fuckin way right? theres no way. theres just no way.

PEACH: can cook! good cook! impressive cook, even, since her utensils are usually floating.

ELTAH: she makes fucking Weird shit in the kitchen. she invented jello by fucking with the properties of juice. the other girls love it.

VASCH: you gotta keep vasch out of the kitchen alright i promise it's not going to work.

LEFAH: she tries SO hard i PROMISE. its FINE you can eat it cant you? she'll feel so bad if you can't even though its probably burnt. its not TOO burnt right? you can handle it. and dont you DARE peel off the burnt pieces. you like it like that. okay? okay.

[short-for-melancholy]

can I get some girlie facts so I can cram for the girlies quiz

GIRLIE FACTS

MEL: mel donates all her excess adventuring money to the orphanage that gave her a place to sleep when she was too young to rent inn rooms

HIKARI: hikari has recurring dreams about an alternate life where she still lives with her moon cat tribe taking care of kids and hunting

AOI: aoi's polyamorous but the only relationship she has that i've actually canonised as a settled matter is aymeric. i wanted to canonise one with yugiri too but it just doesnt feel in character for yugiri.

LIA: lia has fucked an ice dragon. 10/10 experience, she says.

NEST: nest's full name is pronounced "an-ess-TESS-ee-ah".

VIOLET: god ive said so many things about violet whats left..... i never formally decided on this, but the body violet took over was a 14 year old girl who died in her sleep from a sudden disease. her parents are Not doing well with the fact that their sickly daughter disappeared in the night.

VALYRIE: valyrie's got a case of partial albinism, and her eyes arent nearly as vibrantly purple as her picrew makes them look. theyre like a darker version of the reddish-pink you get with albinism.

DR. MARION: i think ive mentioned this one before but her right forearm is covered in herringbone-pattern scars from practicing her healing magic, because the method she used to stretch the skin over the wound wasnt refined enough to not leave scars. the implication, though, is that she's left-handed!

CASSIDY: cassidy's twin brother's name is Chase.

ADELA: the cursed sword has been making a lot of sense lately uh adela's initial crusade against god was completely justified. the god's teaching are good on their face but the actual effects on mortals are Real Fuckin' Bad. fun fact 2, adela was 7 feet tall in life too, thats not just something that happened to her body when she was revived. the towering elf.

ELYRIA: all of elyria's incarnations do their hair a little differently, but the most Canon ones do a single loop on one side.

étoile: its canon that étoile's name isnt capitalised. also its pronouns are it/she

CAROLINE: canon fact is that caroline is the best oc. sorry. uhhhhh caroline's singing voice is just a carbon copy of taylor swift's, and her lyrics are just as vapid.

ROBIN: god im getting sleepy. uhh robin is unironically a huge fucking loser. shes cringe. and not even in a cool way. she's like a jock. she only really cares about fighting and attracting women. the girls she dates in her various incarnations are all so much fucking cooler than she is.

ANGEL: if i made angel into a dnd character she'd be a multiclass paladin/barbarian and fight with two broadswords. her subclasses make it almost impossible to kill her and she deals holy damage at all times. and iirc theres a way to ignite her swords which is fun.

PEACH: peach's skin is rough and hard.

ELTAH: eltah's skin is extremely healthy and feels good to touch.

VASCH: vasch's skin is dry, but soft

LEFAH: lefah's skin is perilously warm. it's hard to sleep in the same bed with her. yes you get nothing but skin facts for the elemental sisters.

[short-for-melancholy]

how well do all the girlies tolerate/get along with kids?

i should not be doing this when its so late i should be going to bed BUT who give a shit i love you anon. anyway

HIKARI: very very good with kids! hikari would never ever ever have kids of her own, but she's great at taking care of other peoples' kids

AOI: she tolerates them but she doesn't really Get them.

LIA: VERY bad with kids. she's so fucking awkward and she basically talks to them like theyre adults and gets frustrated when they cant

NEST: honestly pretty good with kids in small doses. she can't handle them for a long time bc shes not very responsible but she's good to watch them for like an hour or two. god i swear ive answered this question for all the girlies before i hope im not contradicting myself.

VIOLET: violet is kids and has very little understanding of what humans and children require. she'd tolerate them! just dont leave her alone with them for too long

VALYRIE: Not Great.

DR. MARION: she can exclusively handle kids if shes their doctor. its part of the job. but in a casual setting she does NOT like them

CASSIDY: its hard to say a girl who abandoned her own child would tolerate kids well. but i think she'd be a better parent than she expects, if she gave it a shot.

ADELA: lmao

ELYRIA: Somehow Worse than the literal Evil Rotting Corpse. well, she actually does tolerate kids well, but her whole existence is kind of really dangerous to kids so you should not let them near her at all.

étoile: thats Doll. they are playing with it. i dont think it minds.

CAROLINE: She likes kids!

ROBIN: does not like kids very much!

ANGEL: listen to me. i need you to listen to me. please PLEASE dont let children near angel. its dangerous to be near her with such fresh eyes.

MEL: Pretty good with kids! she spends a lot of her free time at the orphanage and she likes the kids there.

ELEMENTAL GIRLIES: honestly. i think they have a Lot to work through before they're able to properly handle kids. seeing a kid having a normal happy childhood would elicit a lot of feelings for them.

[short-for-melancholy]

To help with the ocposting pile: which of the girlies have any preferred time and/or places to sleep (and sleepwear too), and which of them can just fall asleep whenever and wherever?

well i GUESS i can spam a little more!

Mel can fall asleep whenever, wherever, however. she'll sleep standing up if she has to. theres not always opportunities to sleep right while adventuring.

Hikari doesn't actually need to sleep. she gets tired, but it doesn't super affect her. she passes out RIGHT away though, when she wants to go to sleep, and she almost exclusively sleeps in her bed at home when she can get people to come over and lay in a pile with her.

Aoi has a very regular schedule due to her desk job. she likes to get a proper 8 hours, but sometimes she stays up due to her hobbies and such and then she needs more coffee than usual.

Lia is an elf so she doesnt really sleep per se, she does that elf trance thing. she's got a bit of leeway on that since shes fully rested after 4 hours, so she often pushes that as far as possible to wake up at a normal human time.

Nest does NOT sleep enough, and she's pretty good at sleeping outdoors and stuff. but she does generally keep to a normal 24 hour schedule.

Violet goes to bed Promptly at 10pm and wakes up at 6am on the dot. she kinda just shuts down. its a little horrifying to see. its like she died. she does this wherever she is. she will NOT put it off.

Valyrie doesnt sleep enough. she always looks like she got 2 hours of sleep last night. she sometimes actually did only get 2 hours when she stays up late drinking whiskey.

Dr Marion gets a full night of sleep every night. 8 hours, no more and no less. its very important to keep your body healthy with proper sleep! she usually goes to bed early unless shes got good reason to stay up.

Cassidy's in a similar boat to valyrie. she's more used to sleeping outdoors though, on account of primarily living outdoors.

Elyria doesn't really have a sleep schedule. if she's not busy or doing anything, she'll take a nap, but shes more or less active around the clock and just gets sleep whenever and wherever she's free.

Caroline has basically the same sleep schedule as violet, but shes not weird about it. she just goes to bed on time and wakes up at a reasonable hour.

Robin and etoile don't sleep because theyre not like, alive people.

Adela is also not an alive person but she does actually sleep. typically she does this when her handler allows.

Angel girlie has had SUCH a hard time acclimating to the human need for sleep. she has mostly been just pushing herself until she falls over and passes out and then she wakes up and goes from there.

[short-for-melancholy]

Let's go through em actually. For funsies. Would I survive being locked in a room with [X girlie] if she knew I was responsible for her life and trauma?

Hikari: addressed in that post already. She wouldn't kill me. I think she'd have a hard time understand and coming to terms with it but I think I'd be safe

Aoi: her life is great! So nothing would happen.

Lia: honestly I think she'd be more interested in asking me about the world I live in. Trauma be damned, she's enjoyed her life. Why kill me?

Nest: she'd beat the shit out of me obviously. I don't think she'd hit me once I'm knocked out, but it's very possible I die from the damage.

Violet: violet would never hurt me :( I think she would be happy to finally receive love from someone who created her. I'm not sure she'd understand that I'm the reason she feels that way.

Valyrie: she kills me for sure. No question.

Dr. Marion: I haven't really done anything to her, have i? I mean she lost her medical license but that's not worth killing me over. I wonder if I could get her to give me a once over..

Cassidy: I honestly can't imagine her killing me. What's one more god who's failed her?

Elyria: I don't think she'd kill me, I haven't done anything to her. She likes killing but she does that for work. No need to get me.

étoile: not sure. She doesn't really have a good grasp on morality so she might just do it.

Adela: tries to kill me immediately and is disintegrated by the light of god. She probably gets me though.

Caroline: she has a very normal life! She wouldn't kill me at all.

Robin: hmm.... I mean she *is* a chaser... reckon I can survive if I play my cards right.

Mel: I think she'd force me to canonize her death, if this takes place before her story. If it's after.... I think she'd be okay with me.

Angel: kills me worshipfully. Divine torture. She takes my eyes too obviously.

Peach & co.: I'll be honest, of all the girlies I have, no one has the right to kill me more than any one of them. If I saw them I would get on my fucking knees and apologize. And frankly death would be a mercy compared to the guilt I'd have to deal with when they inevitably let me go without consequences. Fitting, really.

SEX STATS. for Girlies. and the instigating post.

[short-for-melancholy]

Yknow I've got a swimsuit glam I use for Hikari and it's primarily just really funny to me instead of anything else. Her stupid flirty pose in the portrait and the big glowy sword that somehow matches the outfit and her stupid sunglasses and her big baseball cap. It's so funny and arouses absolutely nothing in me.

But then I put the same top on aoi and suddenly I'm experiencing a shockingly rare amount of horny. It's so bizarre. That's not supposed to happen, I don't like swimsuits or seeing skin. What the hell

[short-for-melancholy]

actually lets go through them why not.

mel - no parents

hikari - no parents, raised communally

aoi - good parents, not fleshed out

lia - two neglectful mothers

nest - dogshit parents

violet - absent god/father, human parents not fleshed out

valyrie - no parents

dr. marion - suffocating parents with overly-high expectations

cassidy - five absent parents, she herself is an absent mother

adela - parents not fleshed out

elyria - parents not fleshed out

étoile - absent mother, created her for selfish ends

caroline - good parents, not fleshed out

robin - parents not fleshed out

angel - dead god, probably emotionally pretty distant in life

elemental girlies - no biological parents, creator/father very evil

...oh right i havent made a girlie with a good father here either. but im CONCEPTUALLY capable of it! real ones know about the fabled Good Father by mel

i find i have a very neutral view on fathers. a dad is something that exists. in rare circumstances he can be good but usually he just Is. a mother meanwhile is capable of no such thing. i dont think i can conceptualise a good mother. none of my girlies have a properly fleshed out good mother.
