ok let me tell you abt my new oc’s for my merlin modern au, the most recent one, i’ll find a name maybe, maybe not (btw none of the girls have last name of their own since their orphans and at the time magic kids weren’t really respected and weren’t rly recorded properly, so their last name are merlin’s last name, which he also didn’t have because hunith didn’t have one because she wanted to get away from her family legacy n decided to not even pick a new one. btw it’s emrys the last name, but it actually has a very tragic reason. anyways-)

from oldest to youngest:

Eileen Emrys - oldest one, she’s 19 at the moment, and in her second year of college, she’s studying Fine Arts (which is my course, im just projecting on her); she’s basically a little freya but somehow gayer and also with a lot more depression, she isn’t very anxious but she is shy around new ppl; she’s very tall, her forehead reaches merlin’s mouth, perfect for forehead kisses (around 170 cm); she’s white, very pale and very freckled, she has long black hair (reaches her lower back), slightly wavy and with an undercut; she has grey eyes, which does make her look even more dead inside than she really is; she’s more on the thin/lean side, and has more bulk around her legs (also has the biggest boobs out of the 3 girls)

in terms of magic, she’s more focused on shapeshifting magic and enhancing magic (making somebody faster, jumps higher, healing, night vision spells, enhanced hearing, etc.); she doesn’t use magic much, only in very small ways, but merlin has trained her to be prepared for any dangerous situation, so yes she can turn into a huge panther which always brings merlin flashbacks from freya (btw y’all she’s not dead; unless you ask the government hehe)

personality wise, she’s a actually a ray of sunshine, though she does it quietly; she’s definitely the kind and calm soul of the household; she’s still very awkward though and distant at times; she normally acts a lot more innocently than she actually is, and she’s a lot more mischievous than she looks; she’s also the most doted on by everyone, she just inspires that in ppl; you’ll never hear her scream, she always speak softly

clothes wise, she’s a mix between cottagecore pinterest aesthetic and tired college art student (sweat pants and tshirts, maybe a flannel); has many piercings on both her ears and a lot of hand made jewelry in them as well; she normally has her hair up in a messy bun, high enough to show her undercut; she had some shorter hair wisps that work as bangs, she normally clips them away while working; if she doesnt know you well, her hair is down and you wont be able to see her face, maybe an eye and the nose, and she’ll be hiding behind merlin or any of the other girls, even tho shes the tallest

Nita Emrys - middle child, she’s also 19 but some months younger than Eileen, also second year of college, studying creative engineering and magic design (which is a made up degree which basically means they mix magic and technology together to create innovating shit and ideas; in the second year, Nita can choose to be more specific in her path, and decides to choose environment related projects); she’s somehow both very excitable while also being very down to earth, a neutral good type of gal; she’s slightly shorter than Eileen, she’s 162 cm tall, which means merlin can comfortably rest his chin on her head; she’s from afro-Caribbean descent, dark skin queen; 4b type hair, black, normally in bantu knots or butterfly locs or just left alone in an afro (she really likes bantu knots so thats her go to), sometimes bleaches n dyes it, but not that much; she has brown eyes, not very dark; she’s more on the chubby side, with some arm muscles and bulk around her thighs n belly (medium sized boobs, which she’s thankful for)

her magic is very nature related, fauna n flora type shit, and also manipulation of objects (warping walls and floors, creating earthquakes, general telekinesis, etc); she’s also very interested in the fae and their culture and practises, much to merlin’s dismay, who’s terrified of them; she’s also pretty good at illusions, masking spells, glamours, etc; she’s a very well rounded magic user, but she tends to lean to the nature side of it and uses vines n shit to protect herself

her personality at first seems to be the “braincell” of the house, shes calm and collected and serious, seems very lawful good and she’s normally very professional with strangers; the more you get to know her you realize, there is no such thing as a braincell in the house, they’re sometimes possessed by 30 seconds of common sense a day and thats it, so Nita is actually very chaotic, she’s just polite about it; will have the most batshit ideas and reactions to the most batshit things; she’s not normal, none of them are, but she looks it the most; will break out into song/dance in the middle of the conversation, also when she’s working; loves scaring the shit out of merlin, he’s never safe

her style is very butch (yes, YES!!) but also she’s letting her femininity out more, so every once in a while you’ll see her in a midi skirt, courtesy of Eileen; experiments a lot with makeup and jewelry, a lot of it made by the others; also has a few tattoos, most of them lil ones made by the others as well; makes some of her own clothes; has piercing in her ears, a septum piercing, tongue piercing and brow piercing

Rain Emrys - youngest, she’s 18 and in her first year of college, a few months younger than Nita, same degree as Nita actually which is great because she already knows what to expect (also they spend a lot of time together in uni, working away); HEAVILY inspired by jinx from arcane but if she got a supportive family after The Traumatic Event at age 8, so: chaotic good, sometimes neutral, heavy emphasis on chaotic (in this universe, she’s actually scarily like merlin when he was her age, which never fails to make him extra protective of her); she is the shortest and hates it, literal baby, 153 cm tall, this just means she gets to climb merlin and hug around him like a koala backpack; japanese, pale but still a bit tanner than eileen, has a lot of beauty marks and light freckles (i rly like freckles ok dont judge me); straight dark hair and she bleaches n dyes n cuts in the most chaotic of ways, still super long tho, her hair reaches her ankles (again, think jinx, i love her design); dark brown eyes, almost black; super thin, this girl is sticks, this girl is bones, still has a lot of arm strength and some abs (she’s trying to fatten up but uhhh it’s not working) (also flat as shit, she’s actually rly likes this cuz she doesnt need to bother with bras like ever)

her magic is kinda like merlin’s in the sense that is also very chaotic and very emotion influenced/fueled; she works with magic mixed with tech, enhancing magic, rune magic (she LOVES this, and creating her own lil spells and runes and magical weapons, which is actually what she is going to focus on on her second college year), she also focuses a lot on teleportation/movement magic; she uses her magic created weapons more than traditional magic, and normally confuses her opponents and knocks them out

personality wise, she’s a lot like jinx, again, BUT with therapy and medication and a support system; this means that she’s a chaotic mess who is very much encouraged to cry things out and has healthy coping mechanisms, like arts n crafts, and also metal work; absolute ball of energy, she is jumping around, she is screaming and belting her favorite songs out, she is going to climb you literally, she is going to bite you, nuzzle you, hiss or growl at you if she doesnt like you, she will do this all with a straight face or with the biggest smile ever, she’s a surprise all the time; merlin knows her inside n out tho n always knows when smths wrong; she can also be quiet tho, and she may not appear so but is just as intelligent in machines as she is with emotions; actually ends up being the emotional caretaker without even knowing (shes also taken care of so dw)

her style is a fucking mess, either too colorful, or too dark, or both, tons of crop tops and baggy pants and big ass shoes, loose shirts or tight tank tops; most clothes are hand made, if not all of them; all her jewelry is hand made either by her or by eileen, and most of it goes to her hair; hair can be in long braids, or messy buns, a mix n match of both, very rarely will it be loose, and she ha mini bangs, cut however the hell she feels like that day; she doesnt have a lot of piercings, only some in her ears and also not a lot of tattoos, only tiny ones made by the others (she’s scared of needles)

they’re all lesbians, as far as they know; they’re also nonbinary, eileen’s pronouns are she/they/he (im projecting again), nita only uses she/her pronouns but is still non binary (yes this exists y’all, pronouns r in the end just words that you may respect, if youre a decent human), rain’s pronouns are she/they; none of them care all too much abt this tho, still they’ll notice if you only use she/her with them (except nita, who thanks you very much) (also merlin is genderfluid to me, his pronouns are he/she n does care a bit more abt which one u use since he will tell you his preferred pronouns if you ask)

ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT! even tho they’re a family and the girls consider merlin their dad, they don’t actually see each other as sisters or anything like that, they’re best friends who happen to share a roof, like a sleepover; merlin will actually watch, in real time, the girls develop feelings for each other, some more obvious than others (relationships of any kind aren’t black n white, none of them; if any of you make it weird, claim merlin is in any way predatory towards the girls, or that the relationship between the girls is actually incest, you are the weirdo and i will block you, cause wtf. ship whatever you like n i’ll block u if it pleases me, but the canon of this universe, as said by me, is this.)

also, on a lighter note, let me tell you the nicknames of all the girls (also yes they like being called that, they actually don’t care, but merlin once asked them n they were like “don’t you have taxes to take care of? this is the smallest issue ever, yes it’s fine”)

Eileen - they shorten her name to “Eils” or “Ei” all the time; merlin calls her darling since she was 9 and she feels like a princess everytime

Nita - rain calls her “Nini” to annoy her (she actually thinks its very cute but will never admit it); merlin calls her ‘love’ a lot, normally when she’s upset, never in a joking manner (he will also squish her cheeks all the time and she does hate this but he’s also like an annoying older brother to them so he does this on purpose, normally after she scares him to death)

Rain - merlin is the only one that calls her by nicknames and there’s a LOT, you have Rainey, that rain hates cuz it sounds stupid (btw rain is not her first name per say, but she did legally change it when she could do so and they only called her by this nickname her hole life; no one knows what her first name was), and you also have Buggy or Bugs, because Rain used to have huge eyes when she was a kid, which to 16 old merlin it made her look like a bug (she grew into them and they look normal now but poor thing is still teased abt it); more affectionately, merlin does call her ‘sweets’ or just ‘baby’ because she is his lil bby (also he sees his younger, more damaged self in her still, and he just shows her the love he wished he had growing up)

thats it for now, i rly like them a lot, i see any weird comments i will block you idc, y’all make anything so weird, merlin is very affectionate with the girls since he was a young mentally ill teen who grew into an mentally ill adult, and also all of the girls r also mentally ill and need both vocal and physical reassurance/affection; merlin is not a fucking predator, the girls r not abused or manipulated or anything, they’re just a very affectionate family cuz they never had that growing up
