Very (un)fun facts: That metal poisoning incident occurred in tandem with the one where she lost her voice. They were the same incident, and it would have in fact killed Bri outright, if not for her Klefki's interference. To this day she's never fully recovered from it, since iron and fae bodies do not mix well, and the aftermath is that her body is severely weakened. Basically, she can absorb enough life force from her surroundings to keep her internal reserves topped off - enough to keep her alive and running - but since it's also constantly leaking that power, she doesn't have a lot to fall back on if she needs to dip into it to fuel her abilities. The effect is that basically all her moves have exactly half as many chances of being used. A move that could be used about 10 times reliably in quick succession, for a pokemon that's in peak form? For her, she could pull it off about 5 times - and if that 5th time is unfortunate enough to drain her reserve completely? She faints. She doesn't get a Struggle option - that reserve is the same one keeping her alive. She'll faint and remain fainted until it recharges enough life force to restart her body. This weakness is revealed pretty quickly by any device which tracks power output or detects life energy. Though such devices don't reveal that this isn't a norm regarding her species - it's a weakness unique to her.

(Ancient-pokehistorian) "Come here, let me look at you. " (Pascale)

𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 // accepting

.. Eh?

The witch would blink, brow furrowing in confusion, hand resting on her hip in a guarded fashion. From previous experience, an Elder asking - much less demanding - for her presence always resulted in either an annoyance... or a headache.

Well, normal Elders, anyways. Pascale wasn't a normal Elder. Not a Mage, but a long-standing family contact... The dynamic here was different.

Bridgette's cautious air would remain, skepticism behind her expression... but she'd walk closer to Pascale none-the-less. Tipping her hat up, so that her eyes - oh so reminiscent of her great grandfather, Pascale's old friend - wouldn't be shadowed.

　 　 “I can't fathom why you feel the need to inspect me... ”

Despite the constant leak of power from her body and the need for an aid, to allow her thoughts to be voiced - after effects from a life-changing injury that robbed her of her voice, and resulted in a bout of metal poisoning... her current physical condition was fine, the glow in her pupils steady and strong.

Just... don't look too hard, lest the scars of previous incidents become more noticeable than Bridgette cares to admit. Brands and cuts could be covered by clothing, but despite the centuries of healing, the slight discoloration from iron shackles that had once been around her wrists was harder to hide.

A bane of being a fae witch - contact with iron never did quite heal right.

　 　 “But my physical condition is nothing to worry about.”

Despite popular rumors regarding witches, Bri is actually child friendly. She doesn't go out of her way to harm them, and she'll even be helpful towards them. If anything, she doesn't really care one way or the other about them being around. She's outright willing to teach them, if they show promise or desire to walk the path of the witch. Purely neutral, if not slightly soft. ... but if she isn't given a very personal reason to care about or be interested in their well being, she won't. It's not in her nature to lend a hand without getting something in return, and kids generally simply have nothing to offer her. If they take notice of her and ask, she'll lead them out of the woods. But she won't take the initiative. For all she knows they're expected to be able to take care of themselves, as someone of trainer age. And if they can't, well... tough luck. One of the downsides to being long-lived - you have to come to accept that your peers simply won't live to walk the same path as you, or be able to keep you company. So it's better to not even try to get attached. Plus, given her age, she was born and grew up in a time when childhood life expectancies were... far less successful, much less opportunistic, than they are in the modern era. Things happen.

[corvidmagicae]

Bri finds a crying lost village child! Whatever will she do?

.... why exactly is this her problem?

People get lost in the woods all the time, and both the phantump and pumpkaboo lines exist for a reason. If they didn't heed their parents warnings about getting lost in the woods, then that's on them.

She'll keep an eye on the kid from the trees, but not announce her presence unless necessary - the only time a lost kid is her problem is if they find her house. Again.

Don't mind the witch sprawled out in the shade, pressing an Ice Stone against her forehead. She's not budging, not now, not ever. She's staying right here with the icy-cold rock.

It's too goddamn hot.

[corvidmagicae]

casual reminder that even though i'm willing to touch upon dark/uncomfortable/sensitive topics with my muses or in my threads, as per staying accurate to any fairytale/folklore/historical origins or references with any muses in question, i don't do so on a whim or for enjoyment of those topics. I am a horror writer and enjoy some good old angst as much as the next person, but i'll only dive into such topics if absolutely necessary to explore character history and development. And most importantly, consent is always key.

activity will return momentarily, june has just been Really Busy irl. i thought it had calmed down, but i got gutpunched with more things that need my immediate attention. replies will resume soon, i just need to. catch my breath.

Apparently having a father go missing for five centuries somehow qualifies you to be considered sugar baby material.

She's learning things... She would like to unlearn them.

[corvidmagicae]

Oh. ... depending on when exactly he disappeared, her dad may not even know that some of his other kids were killed and that Bri had her voice destroyed during the Hunts.

Oh dear.

[corvidmagicae]

Her dad fucked off somewhere after her mom died, due to a mid-life existential crisis, and the family still has not been able to locate him. It's been over 5 centuries and Bri's still miffed about him abandoning her.

He's... probably in Alola? But none of them can confirm. She's occasionally sent off to pursue leads (and hopefully Yell at him if she finds him), since she's the most migratory of the living family members.

As a Klefki, Fleta retains her species' natural diet of raw minerals. She can and will eat inorganic earthen materials, mainly gems and metals, by sucking the minerals straight out of them.

Nothing Is Safe.

[corvidmagicae]

Feed her. Feed her all the precious metals.

[corvidmagicae]

Bri may not know what the fuck a crush actually is, but she definitely still gets them. The disconnect in her emotions and recognition sure makes for some... unfortunate situations. So many birds, especially when she was younger, were people she took actual romantic interest in... but because she didn't know what she was feeling, she ruined her chances before they even got a foot off the ground by assuming those feelings meant she should turn them into a bird. Demiromantic ace girl apparently can't understand her own feelings, much less anyone else's. so many potential friendships, not to mention potential romances, shot in the foot because she oh-so-rudely assumed those feelings meant she should free them from the confines of humanity ala being a bird...
