Hunter - Heir of Doom
Class Translation: Inherits (Doom) and affects or manipulates (Doomed) fate
Aspect Notes: Fate’s chosen sufferers, often controlled and manipulated, not noble martyrs / usually irate about their lot. Wise/Empathetic & Bitter/Fatalistic.
Very drawn to Hunter as the Heir of Doom, the Golden Guard reborn over and over just to die again, passing their fates onto the next. Hunter manages to finally break free of this pattern, escaping the source of his repeated deaths and helping to save the rest of the isles from Belos as well.
[Drew the other 4 kids awhile back and always intended to follow up with Hunter. Happy 413!]

Partner and I have been playing a lot of Stardew Valley lately on our new shared farm. Our women, Isobel (she/her, left, hers) and Gallow (she/they, right, mine). They live on Haunted Hex farm (a monster farm), and the rules are that everything must be look good but also scary.
