hi guys <3 mavuika's adopted daughter, takoroa (named after one of the fire deity mahuika's sons). technically she's from the masters of the night-wind, but was taken in by her mother a long time ago, even before said woman was declared archon. she looks as tired as she does because she is currently a student at the akademiya!! those thesis papers are killing her guys 💔 she always made frequent trips between natlan and sumeru for a wide variety of reasons, but has yet to return to the akademiya because of the dire state of her homeland and has no intention of going back until everything is thoroughly resolved. she is a fiercely respected warrior, spellcaster, and healer among the natlanese.

in terms of personality, she is much like her mother—very patient, compassionate, decisive, and wise. she is very much a natural leader! she holds a deep-rooted and strong love for the people of natlan. when she was young, she was extremely passionate and always wanted to prove herself to her mother, even to her own detriment. this desire led to her getting hurt more often than not. nowadays, that flame has been quelled though not snuffed out completely. she still has her moments of desperately wanting to prove herself. maybe it has something to do with the inherent pressure of being the archon's daughter, or maybe it has to do with having been abandoned by her biological parents. who knows. whatever the reason is, mavuika always reassures her and makes her feel secure and confident in herself.

au where all the fatui ocs just live in the best timeline and nothing bad—nothing worse than joining the fatui at least—happens to them ever 😔

🔫🥰 your turn bug. tell me which harbinger(s) hanan and chari would... be at least mildly okay under, if they were not working under their father. and also which one or ones they'd, uh, somehow do worse under. i'm not sure how it could be worse but i do not doubt that i can be proven wrong... (/SILLY /NF)

Chari’s answer to who they’d work better under is obvious lol. Arlecchino, by far and wide would be a better option for them. Some say that Arlecchino even offered to have them transferred. Outside of that though they’d also work almost as well under Childe or Capitano. And while they’d still be a little upset by it, surprisingly I think they’d enter a similar, if slightly better dynamic than the one they have with Dottore with the Balladeer.

Hanan on the other hand, while they don’t do poorly under the Doctor by any means, at least in a technical sense. They would do incredibly well under Sandrone and Columbina. Though I’m partial to the latter because even in canon she still manages to dote on them! Imagine how cute they’d be together!! (One of them is a terrifying non human) because while Sandrone deals with the mechanical instead of the biological and the blending of the two, it’s still not a huge adjustment for Hanan. And Columbina is so mysterious that I feel like regardless of what her actual industry is she would let Hanan develop/research whatever they wanted to lmao.

For Chari, contrary to what you said Aphe they would actually fare worse under well, obviously Crucabena, because they already hated that woman. And that was when they were a child. As an adult, oh god…. ☺️🥰 don’t worry though! In this swap!AU they’d still get to see Dottore quite a bit!

Hanan’s worst option is obviously Pantalone. But separate from that, as much as they’d grow to at least enjoy the company of someone like Childe or Capitano, their skill set would make it harder for them to truly fit into the department of such soldier focused Harbingers. As for why they’d fare worse under the Regrator, to Hanan, he’s everything they dislike about their father with almost none of the benefits. It’s not even that they’d have an issue on the technical level. They would just be terrified of and immensely distrustful of their boss. Honestly I think they’d try to defect at least once, or otherwise switch Harbingers because 😬… oh! And of course the no physical abuse rule is broken! Not sure how though… any ideas? 👀🤭

[express-archives]

This is very random, but how do you think your Fatui OCs would fare under different Harbingers? (Feel free to do ones they’d like or dislike more than their current department 🤭)

ohhhh this is SUCH a good question!!! so i took this question and decided to do which harbinger(s) my ocs would fare better under and which one(s) they would fare worse under.

both faye and viola would fare a lot better under tartaglia. he would have a lot more respect for the two of them (to be clear, he'd have more respect for them than pantalone does; arlecchino really isn't the problem harbinger here) and their relationship. he'd also put a lot more emphasis upon keeping them close together in their work. since he has siblings himself, he kinda knows what faye must be feeling when she does not know where viola is or how she's doing—thus, childe would keep them very close and generally wouldn't go out of his way to separate them. he also wouldn't treat faye like a dog; he'd just treat her like a worthy and respectable opponent, as he already does. he's also notoriously not harsh with his subordinates, unlike his colleagues, so he'd be very good with viola. plus, he understands that she's a child and doesn't... expect her to do things that he expects from his other subordinates. he also would expect faye to drop things to protect viola (...whereas pantalone, um, doesn't like or encourage this trait of hers...).

um. tl;dr, in the best universe that still involves these two being members of the fatui, they'd work for childe 🙏

on the other hand, i actually think faye is a fairly versatile soldier and could work comfortably under most of the harbingers. however, she'd probably struggle under scaramouche or columbina. scaramouche, because faye doesn't exactly like being thrown around for the littlest shit, and he would be like... straight up abusive. i mean, pantalone is too, but he indulges her whims usually—she can touch him openly, lean over his shoulder, latch onto his arm like a doting and yappy child without getting punished for it, meanwhile the balladeer would probably respond fairly poorly to something like that. uh. yeah. columbina, because faye is just straight up scared of her LMFAOSJDKSGJF???????

viola could not thrive under dottore. i don't think i need to explain this one... you want this gentle and kind child to work for arguably one of the most morally corrupt harbingers on the harbinger roster? uh. no ❤️ she wouldn't do well at all. i was also going to say that she wouldn't thrive under scaramouche, but i actually disagree with that one and think he'd probably have a little bit of a soft spot for her. yeah, she's a teen, but this girl is literally still a baby. a child. a child in his unit. he'd be an asshole about it, but he'd probably take her under his wing after a while of seeing this pathetic wet cat child stumble around his unit. so. erm. the only harbinger she could not thrive under would be dottore 🗣❗️❗️❗️

i haven't finished natlan, but from what i understand, capitano is actually a very respectable and honorable man, yes? therefore, emilio would have absolutely thrived under the captain. i think he's actually a little irked that he DOESN'T work for capitano, because he'd be doing so much better if he was, and he wouldn't have had to forsake his honor and wisdom as a warrior from natlan, had he been employed under the first instead of the second (so close yet so far...). if emilio did work under the first harbinger, i don't think he would have even had this agonizing descent into monstrosity in the first place. he would still be honorable. he'd still be... himself. hm. poor thing. if things had only gone ever so slightly differently... oh well! 🥰❤️

emilio cannot possibly hate any harbinger more than he hates dottore. end of discussion. my guy is actively in the worst possible timeline for himself LMAOOOOO rip 💔💔💔💔

ohhh godddd. hestia. hestia. hm. well. she's in her best timeline, i can't even lie. la signora became her mother after a while, so hestia wouldn't thrive better with anyone other than la signora. that said, she could definitely work in other units! i think she'd do fine under capitano or even pulcinella. hell, she'd be okay under childe. ultimately, however, the best unit for hestia would be the one she is in right now.

hestia would hate working under dottore or pantalone, though. not because she couldn't do her job well—she'd be good enough at doing her job in either unit. she just couldn't do it because she is morally opposed to both of their methods (i like to think la signora would just go bother dottore solely to piss him off like the akademiya diva she was, and they saw one another as close equals; that said, i also think hestia would just straight up ask her mother why the hell she would want to voluntarily be anywhere near that man LMAOOO).

...esfir, like emilio, is already living their worst timeline 💔 there is no worse unit to put her in. they're already in the worst ok.

THAT SAIDDDDD you know who esfir would love working for? arlecchino. peruere, specifically, not crucabena (which. um. is obvious, considering i've said a very young esfir cursed crucabena out once or twice. Or maybe thrice idk). she would absolutely adore the knave!!!!! would probably look up at the fourth harbinger with the most "🥺" eyes ever. esfir would just... love arlecchino in a very vulnerable and real way. they would call arlecchino 'father' and mean it.

[express-archives]

hestia's dad is dead (she doesn't have a mother), but they had a good relationship. weird how the characters with a healthy upbringing end up being less mentally unwell than the others........ /LH

[express-archives]

esfir's parents are probably living but they're definitely assholes because they voluntarily gave her up to the house of the hearth. so

[express-archives]

also. yk. emilio's parents are living. btw. those guys are alive and are still in natlan. btw
