🙤 Unusual OC Associations 🙧

(this is not just an excuse to show off this lovely bust by @star--nymph but it is a nice side benefit since we're here)

Emmaera Lavellan

Seasoning: Green Goddess seasoning; herby with a slight tang

Weather: Slightly overcast, but in the puffy white cloud way that makes for a perfect picnic

Colour: The last green of spring in the deep forest, when the logs are covered in soft moss and the plants are growing strong. The soft purple of lavender fields, fragrant and sweet. 

Sky: Violet sunsets over low-hanging clouds

Magic power: The junction between abstract and physical; magic that reminds wounds to be whole again, but also manifests stone from thin air. 

House plant: One of those little counter herb gardens, both practical and beautiful. 

Weapon: A staff that is more iteration than object; it is tested for its strengths and weaknesses, appreciated for its skill, and passed respectfully on in favor of a finer-tuned version. 

Subject: Archaeology. The junction of abstract history and physical remnants, reconstructing what must have been based on the evidence of what was. 

Social media: Tumblr; she runs a history blog and meticulously sources all of her images and facts. She has seven followers and refers to them all by name. 

Make-up product: Sunscreen. Above all else, Emma is practical.

Candy: Baklava. Time-consuming and meticulously layered, but infinitely worth the final result. 

Fear: Being abandoned/disappearing. Never recovered from her father disappearing through an eluvian when she was a child; she fears being left the same way again and also disappearing without a trace in equal measure. The worst thing, for Emma, would be for something to happen to her and leave no evidence of any kind, so nobody ever knows what became of her. 

Ice cube shape: Ice cubes with mint and honeydew melon frozen in them, to flavor your water as they melt

Method of long distance travel: By foot, so she can collect herbs as they go

Art style: Art deco; neat, geometric, and angular, but still mimicking the shapes of nature

Mythological creature: The Brazen Head, a semi-oracular automaton/animated statue that could answer any question put to it, but only with yes or no answers

Piece of stationery: A neatly trimmed and smooth piece of parchment intended for letters

3 emojis: 🧐 💐 🧳

Celestial body: Jupiter; beautiful and complex from a distance, but has the greatest gravitational pull of all the planets. 

Tarot Card: Strength; representative of all kinds of strength—not just physical, but mental and emotional in harmonious balance

Again, if anyone would like to be tagged in this lmk, and otherwise consider this an open tag :)
