Zora Backstory Headcanon~

Quick sum-up, Zora was born in 1807, got her epithet in 1819 by touching a sundial, and can change her age to elongate her lifespan. And I hate 1810′s hair but for the sake of historical accuracy, I must add it... (Also yes the dress is relatively simple and not entirely accurate, but I don’t like adding that many details. You get the idea though.)

I may write a short fic about this, and originally was like, “Ha, what if it was written like it was in the time this takes place in, using Forest of Montalbano by Catherine Cuthbertson in 1810 as a reference,” but it was absolute pain to write, not kidding. I do dialogue, but things like,

“tell, me O! tell me where I am? what evils await me? and how you can secure me from this threatened danger! Tell me, tell me all! convince me my gratitude is your just claim, and in true sincerity it will pay it’s debt.” -Forest of Montalbano, p. 111,

have me in shambles.

And yes, that is the grammar, as well.

Anyways, yeah, this is how Zora’s backstory works in my vision. As some may remember, I made art way, way, way, way back in November 2020 (holy shit) of Zora dressed in different decades. I think from 1880′s to 1930′s? I don’t know but it returns.

rewrite christine: “i’ve noticed some things about you.”

rewrite erik: “like what?”

c: “well, you’re very pale, you’re thinnest person i’ve ever seen and you can’t gain weight, your fingers are always cold, you’re almost always wearing a cape, your cat sleeps in a coffin as does your idol, you dressed up as death for the masquerade, the gray part of your face is cold and aged, your fingernails are looking a little long, you like snuggling near my neck when we sleep together, you’ve been saying ‘effervescent’ a lot recently, you don’t like looking in a mirror, you avoid going outside in the daytime, i’ve never seen you swim in the water cellar, you love red wine, you sure do want me to kiss you often... i mean, your teeth aren’t sharp, but-“

e: “are you trying to say i’m snow white? because you’ll have to kiss me if you want to break the spell of eternal sleep... ;) (and to make me feel better about myself because my self-esteem is the literal worst but that’s neither here nor there...)“

c: “n- ...you know what yes snow white is exactly what i was going to say.”

“...”

“do you have any garlic in your kitchen, by chance?”
