open starter: @aurorabaystarter

where: at a hardware store (cuz ya know christmas decorations)

"You think it's too early to decorate for Christmas?" Sage asked as she picked up a box for one of those inflatable Christmas decorations-- it was a giant avocado wearing sunglasses and a Santa Claus hat. "Actually, new question because I'm going to decorate today no matter what you say. Do you think this would fit on my balcony at Ocean Crest?"

Introducing Spathi Eleftheriou (spah-th-ee eh-leh-f-theh-ree-oo), a Fire Emblem Three Houses OC for @fe-oc-week! It's been a hot minute since I tried to design an OC, and this is my first time for a Fire Emblem game (pls be nice im bby) (pls clap). It's been a lot of fun! They're def not a self-insert by any means, but they do share some aspects of my personality and ethnic background.

I know I'm super late to this, I felt so inspired by everyone's wonderful characters this year (esp @peachiehambo's Yoona and @wild-moss-art's Moss). Couldn't resist!!

More about Spathi after the cut!

Spathi hails from the seaside city of Alatisitou (ah-lah-tee-see-too) in southwestern Almyra, on windswept plains where wheat flows in golden waves, and scents of sage and marjoram carry forever on the wind.

They're the only child of a warm, close-knit family of farmers situated on the city outskirts, among the tumbling cliffs and endless highland valleys that eventually cascade down to the ocean. It's a fitting home for a kid born with dreams in their feet and salt spray in their hair; infinite possibilities and a wide, sun-soaked sky always offering new opportunities.

Growing up, they'd often be found spending their free time exploring the arcadian landscape, climbing through old ruins and cyprus groves, and occasionally ambling around the city proper to watch the sleek trading ships ply wares from far-flung lands.

They tend to be quiet and observant in public, but are extremely energetic, talkative, and personable with their friends, who would readily attest that Spathi is an indispensable one-person hype squad. You couldn't ask for someone better to gas you up when you're feeling down.

Their family grows wheat and olives in their humble fields and orchards for export and local sale. Spathi devotes themself to their family's well-being and works hard to ensure good harvests.

That's kinda all I've got so far, lol. Might add more to this later as other ideas come to mind! Some other broad stats for Spathi, in no particular order:

Their name translates to 'Sword of Freedom'

They're non-binary, their preferred pronouns are they/them and sometimes she/they

They're 19 years old when they enroll at Garreg Mach

They're 6'2" tall and are somewhat clumsy

They're passionate about breadmaking and all things bread-related

Their favorite flower is marigold

Their favorite spice is basil

Their favorite treat is mastic, a chewable resin from native trees with a bitter flavor that gives way to refreshing notes of pine and cedar (also delicious steeping into a cup of cool water!)

Their favorite tea is chamomile with a splash of wild honey and vanilla

They love to play the mandolin and pan flute, and they love to sing

They have a soft and sometimes raspy voice

They're a good sailor, though the family could never afford a ship larger than a catboat.

They fucking love boardgames dude!!!

At the academy, they have strong proficiencies with Sword, Faith, and Reason, and weak proficiency with Authority.

Anyway hope you like them!!

What if your Zel time travelled to ALBW time? Do you think there'd be any differences between your Zelda and that one?

WHY DIDN’T TUMBLR TELL ME ABOUT THIS ASK?!?!

It all depends on who’s writing ALBW Zellie and how they write them! If we’re going by canon with both these girls then maybe they’d have differences because in canon, ALTTP Zel literally has zero personality. Like, none whatsoever aside from giving exposition and being a reason to save Hyrule. ALBW Zel, however, seems to have more character to her through actions and what others say of her mostly. That being said comparing my Zel with canon ALBW Zel there are some differences. At least, I’d like to think there are! It feels embarrassing to list them, honestly, ndjbfksdjfhb. 

But because I based her mostly off of the 90s comic and Himekawa, her experiences in both those comics are mixed together in an unholy mess as such she’s come out with depression from the entire events of ALTTP (getting kidnapped, locked away in a dark space with no one to help her, losing her father, some maidens not making it out of the dark world, the death of the priest, some good guards dying because of the brainwash they went through and Link having no other choice to defend himself) and later trauma with OoX where she was kidnapped for essentially human sacrifice (it’s less of fear of dying and more ‘oh god they could’ve used my blood to destroy and kill so many people’ with a dash of it was too soon for her to go since there are so many things she wants to accomplish. Leading Hyrule to its golden age being one of them). I wouldn’t say she’s paranoid but she treats everything with caution and care as the result of all those circumstances. Though she’s kindly because she tries to treat others with that same polite kindness that doesn’t exactly mean she trusts others just yet, she keeps a bit of distance from others until she sees that maybe she can let her guard down just a little. If she sees  someone who’s genuine enough in her eyes, that’s where the guilt of her hiding her identity kicks in. She usually doesn’t tell others unless: A) her guards find her and reveal her identity through that way which is what’s about to happen in a certain thread I’m writing out JDFKBFHJDB and 2) she finally decides to come clean with the truth once she feels close enough with that person.

She has this dreamy, serene smile in order to soothe others around her with that calm expression and somewhat herself (and also to make her face less of an open book in a way because again guard up at all times. She’s a bit on the mysterious side due to this. Not many know what she’s really thinking about beyond that placid expression or smile, even when she’s angry she seems more cold with clipped words and having to look into deeper meaning of her words but her expression doesn’t change much from the norm. She has that nasty habit of bottling things up). It’s why she tries to stay so levelheaded for the most part and reassure others but in that quiet way through actions rather than words because constantly saying “it’ll be alright” doesn’t always work with other people. And speaking of quiet, she does have that silent determination working for her too! Admittedly, her hope did start to wane away when she tried to call for help, Link’s uncle’s passing certainly didn’t help things but once Link heard her calls that’s where the determination would slowly kick in. Seeing his trials in collecting the pendants and venturing through the dark world is what formed that silent determination and as of now, she’s learned to not give up no matter how hopeless the situation may be. Because in the end she tentatively believes everything will turn out fine someway or how. SOMEWHAT.

She’s more connected with her PSI powers granted by the Triforce than the light magic given to her from her ancestor the mortal goddess. Due to power health, unless she has the help of the maidens by her side, she can’t exactly break down barriers that are strong or seal away anyone. She can’t use her magic at all despite how potent it is since she has the blood of a goddess and from the seven wise sages. Hence why many are out for her blood because imagine all of the dark magic shit they can do with it (like being able to revive ganon not too different from AOL). She’s a glass canon of sorts because of how ass her magic stamina is. She can, however, heal you! That said, telepathy and clairvoyance along with connection to the spirit realm aka talking to the dead are the powers she excels at! SO this is where that somewhat word comes in. Clairvoyant dreams would happen from time to time. It’s not as often as one would think, which is a relief to her because her dreams always comes true. No matter how much may change, the outcome will remain the same regardless. Fate is pretty hard to change and she’s become a bit like... angry at the fact that they are stuck in this cycle thanks to one goddess and her battle against a demon. The fact that Hyrule can’t ever know peace aside from brief periods of it always upsets her because dang it her people deserve to relish in that peace without any worries as do the future generation of the royal family. She’s actually angry at the gods despite acting pretty respectful but resigned to the fact that there’s no changing this. 

Also... while she doesn’t mind ruling over her kingdom, she does like sneaking out of the castle whenever she can! She loves exploring her lands, whether visiting small villages or going through old ass temples/tombs with history behind it she loves it all. And also, tends to read in graveyards or takes naps in the Haunted Grove because she’s freaking fearless in the face of death like that. She’s somewhat has that same bullying factor as her ancetor does since she can be playful in that innocent way. Only when outside the castle because hey she’s got an image to maintain. 

The only thing she’d share with ALBW Zel is her love for romance. Zel is in love with the idea of love. Being lonely all her life because Bad Health due to being sickly and having duties to complete as future ruler, she’d love to find someone someday to spend the rest of her life with. And dang it, she’s a pretty loving person too and will be straightforward in letting it be known that she likes someone. She likes idiots so of course she has to be DFHJKBD. But her love for the more dumbasses simple folk comes from growing up in court with stuffy nobles who judge what the perfect woman should be for marriage and to her that’s like ew. And also dumbasses can be nice as hell so that’s another reason. Something to add is that she’s a romantic in sense of the period. Finding beauty in art, nature, tales of the old and heroics, and even in the macabre due to her seeing ghosts in dreams since bby and having tea parties with them. She sees beauty in everything and everywhere. I think this should go without saying but the two do share kindness and the love for their people too and are pretty selfless! And that’s pretty much what comes to mind. I’m sure there’s more but this post has gone on long enough pls help.

That said, more than likely she’d get along with ALBW Zel because that’s her grand daughter/little sister figure. 

[novaconnelly-blog]

hey babes!! I’m Cat aka the other admin. I’m super excited to get to meet you all and get to roleplay with your characters you have no idea. Okay so I’m really lazy so idk if I’m gonna have her pages set up yet but under the cut I’m gonna leave some bullet points about Nova and maybe some connections if i can come up with them so pls hmu I wanna plot with everybody

k first off her bullet points

she was born Nova Capello but has a really complicated relationship with her dad so she took on her mother’s maiden name

she’s in university studying acting, but also has a job at a local theater where she acts in plays/musicals as well as teaches theater camps for children

she legit loves kiddos so much!! she specializes in children’s theater because of it and if she wasn’t an actress she’d probably be a preschool or kindergarten teacher or a nanny that’s how much she loves kids

she’s such an optimistic person, mainly cause her dad’s side of her family gives her and her mom a lot of shit and it’s done a lot to her general psyche and she knows she never wants others to feel the same, if there’s a way she can make someone’s day a little better she will do it

ain’t no lie baby bi bi bi

she loves baking but half the time she doesn’t have the patience for it. nevertheless if you come to her apartment 9/10 times she’ll have baked goods for you

she definitely is the type of person to blast music and dance around her apartment in her underwear

she is SUCH a hopeless romantic like cheesy romantic things and romcoms and anything of the like are her SHIT, whenever she’s in a relationship she’ll fall fast because she’s such a sucker for things like that

that being said she does also have a tendency to hook up with people a lot - she can’t help it she just fucking loves kissing people and occasionally having sex

if she could live anywhere in the world she’d probably either live in NYC for the acting opportunities or in Venice, Italy cause it’s pretty and she likes the idea of canal roads

she’s such a fuckin’ nerd for pokemon get her started and she could talk for aaaaaages about it

she doesn’t do it enough but she loves painting esp drunk painting but she’d have to do it with a friend cause for her it’s not so much a creative outlet as much as it is a social gathering

i’m honestly the worst with zodiac stuff but she’s probably a libra idk

her mom is a hippie/bohemian and she was way more in the picture than her dad was so she definitely rubbed off on nova, she’s super into the earth and learning about the world and shit like that

YO SHE’S SUCH A LIL NERD ESP ABOUT POKEMON OKAY IF YOU GET HER STARTED SHE WILL GO ON ABOUT IT FOREVER

and now for some connections

roommate - idk if everyone is meant to have their own apartment here but if not, nova would love a roommate. just like imagine cute lil’ roomie bonding nights like a movie night or her baking something for them when they come home aww 

friend with benefits/hookup/etc. - i’m not even gonna put limits on here in any way, she’s bi as fuck and just likes making out with people lmao - Abel Ioane, open to more!!

#1 fan - so l like this probably isn’t someone who legit idolizes her but like maybe this is someone who’s always out seeing the shows she’s in to support her and bringing her flowers on her opening night or something idk

drinking buddy - maybe they’re out on the town bar hopping, maybe they’re at home painting or baking or watching reality tv it doesn’t really matter to me - Sage Kim, Harlowe Cotter, open to more!!

exes - so like she’s p young but maybe they dated in the past??? she’s such a romantic so could the breakup have been amicable and they’re on good terms?? maybe it was a fucking mess who knows 

platonic soulmate - so i’m not gonna put like a boyf/girlf/or even a crush cause i’m not gonna force a ship but like maybe they click so well that even thought they know they wouldn’t work out they’re there for each other and meant to be, in a platonic sense at least // Caspar Jones

420 blaze it - so like Nova isn’t a total stoner but she can’t help the occasional puff of the devil’s lettuce. Nova and this person probably hang out and get a lil high and just chill (and Nova could totally bake some treats to take care of the munchies it’ll be grand) ((also honestly this is probably the same for the hookups in the case that she’ll smoke with anyone and everyone))

i legit suck at coming up with connection ideas but i’m legit open to anything so please connect with nova she’s my bby!!
