[[Day 2 – Tree / Perception]]

[[Ravnur – he / him]]

Ravnur is most comforted by the presence of large trees. When he has time to rest, he usually climbs one and sits in its lower boughs. Perceiving his earth tones amidst the dappling of leaves and branches is almost impossible, and he can comfortably vanish from sight once he sits still. On the other hand, the height allows him to see without being seen, much to the frustration of friends who might be trying to find him. Some habits are hard to break for an old ex-Wood-Warder.
#oooh I love the perspective of this!#the way that it really shows the scale of this enormous tree#imagining rav just vanishing into the trees whenever people are trying to find him#eidin is a bit jealous tbh#other wols

[[Day 1 – Hello]]

[[Ravnur – he / him]]

To most people, Ravnur is a pillar of calm. His surprisingly deep baritone voice comes across as gentle but self-assured. Much older than he looks, he tires of social mores easily— he knows what he wants and how he wants it, and can be brutally honest at times. He takes his oath to protect seriously, whether he's wielding a guillotine or nouliths, and will help where he can. Only those closest to him will ever see a carefree smile— behind the night-toned eyes and stoic face, there is an ever-present melancholia and a violent past that he will not broach.

Day 30 – Free Day / Goodnight

[[Mazeh'a – he / they]]

Mazeh'a enjoys napping throughout the day much like a cat. His overall sleep schedule tends to be broken up with irregular all-nighters of research, so it's not uncommon for his partner to find him passed out next to a small pile of books and a cold mug of tea. This is a perfect way to send off MiqoMarch 2025 for me-- imagining his light snoring by the fire and thinking about where else he could go next!
#awww this is so cozy#the warmth from the fireglow#I love how he’s in his fancy black and gold top but with bare feet#like he had the presence to kick off shoes but nothing else#sleep well kitty#other wols

ellorgast asked:

For the library ask meme: how about Action #1 and Young Adult #2 for any of your OCs?

Thanks @ellorgast! I gave both to Lone Snowdrop for you :3

Action and Adventure #1: Is your OC particularly "heroic"? What does that word mean to them? Have they always seen it as something to aspire to - or perhaps as a fate to be avoided?

When Lone Snowdrop was younger, her heroes were those who helped amidst the chaos of war. While many looked towards the freedom fighters of Gyr Abania as heroes, she looked towards the helpers. She took up the fight after a particularly horrific clash with Garlean soldiers rendered her best friend incapable of fighting, and she promised to continue in her stead. Lone Snowdrop doesn't consider herself heroic, but it's how many would describe her-- her heart is true and focused on helping those that may fall through the cracks unseen, and she cares deeply for the suffering of those around her.

Young Adult and Children 2: Does your OC come from a culture where there are rituals or celebrations to mark the transition from childhood to adulthood?

Lone Snowdrop grew up in a place that got torn apart by political turmoil and violence early enough that she never got to have the rituals or celebrations she otherwise would have. One that would've been significant to her is a close-knit communal dance that her tribe held to celebrate a young woman's transition from childhood to adulthood. Her loved ones would've written and read letters to her about their hopes for her future, and basically thrown a big party that ends with them dancing in circles around her while she switches partners. She may not admit it out loud (even to herself) but sometimes, she feels a bitter alienation and sadness for not having gone through any rites of passage at all. She doesn't quite know who she is, even with her homeland liberated, and some part of her is still searching for that answer.
