Endymion

what kind of clothing does your character like to wear? do they have a style? anything they avoid wearing?

I’d say Endymion goes for anything thats loose and airy. I struggle with EXACT styles but I can tell you he loves to wear a lot of light neutral colors with a pop of a red or red adjacent colors. Burgundy and Beige is his personal favorite combination. Hes surprisingly not that ostentatious when it comes to clothing! Doesnt appreciate patterns all that much, doesn’t really do jewelry all that much (although he does have a thing for anklets and I imagine he collects them)

When he DOES wear jewelry, he prefers gold and garnet. And! He really enjoys sash belts, and I imagine its one of the few times he tolerates patterns.

Seras

is your character more articulate in their thoughts than their words? if yes, do they do anything about that? do they care?

No and no. Seras is wise in some regards (shes a cleric she has to be) but when I say shes small minded I mean it in a Lot of ways. Shes a creature whose ruled by fear and what she wishes to protect which means I essentially gave her a conservative mindset. In my experience thinking as her? What you hear from her mouth is all there is.

Cosette

are their hands steady?

Huh. Now that I think about it, no. She sews sometimes, sure, but the primal vigor in her blood now that she has Lycanthropy? I don’t imagine she is Ever still anymore.

if someone gave them flowers, what would they do with them?

Wear a few in her hair and leave the rest in a nice spot in the woods after a bit probably! Shes starting to be more connected with nature in little ways like that.

Aideen

how do they feel about casual endearments? (babe, etc)

Weird. He feels like he doesn’t know how to do it in a way that isn’t embarassing + he hasn’t really been in a relationship where the tone was appropriate for that? I think he would have a petname for Tinker in Ignan tho. Partially because its his first language and sometimes he defaults to that when he first wakes up (and thats when hes at his sappiest)

Griselda

would they draw patterns in frosted windows/fogged up mirrors? what would they draw?

Yes! I think she would practice arcane sigils. Frost and fog is a cool mid area between solid and liquid which I think would allow her to practice stretching the “sight” she gets from The Arcane Weave.

Rhys

do they see patterns in the world around them? do they point them out to people?

He does see patterns in the world around him I think. Hes a religious hermit who lives in the woods hes kinda trained to do that from birth. But he’s quiet about his thoughts a lot of the time. I think he’d only say something if he thought it was an ill omen.

do they keep books on their person? what kind?

Doesn’t have many books, but does keep a journal on him to jot down feelings and interesting spots/ritual results. He has a total of Three books other than that, and theyre all usually at home. One is on proper forragging in Cetoviel, another one is animal identification and the folklore of said animals, and the last one is a book of prayers and rituals to Seren.

Eden

would your character sing along to a vaguely familiar song, even if they messed up the lyrics as they went?

Yes, shes joyful and messy like that

where are they in a group hug? (dead center, outside, etc)

Outside. She is very small and does not appreciate being surrounded.

what's the silliest thing they've used magic to do? if they don't have magic, what's something silly they'd use it for if they did?

HMM. Using shape water to lift a bunch of bioluminescent algae and jellyfish up and using them as a light source to read at night
