yes yes characters doomed by the narrative always slap BUT what about characters saved by the narrative? characters who have already given up hope and don't know they have a happy ending? characters who believe they are a lost cause, characters who feel irredeemable, characters who think there's nothing left for them, but the narrative does provide a way out? what about the characters who don't expect anything good, who don't even remember how to wish for it anymore, who get the things they need anyway? what about the characters who actively run from being saved getting saved in a way they can't stop or control. what about being saved by the narrative!!!

#My heart... #Melissa #We just need to make these characters comfortable 🤧 #I have a lot of characters with trauma and sad fate #I'm fixing that now

For Melissa!

🍉: Does your OC have a particular piece of jewellery that they always wear or refuse to part with?

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?

🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

Awww thanks for the questions ♥ I'd better tell everyone about Melissa!

🍉: Does your OC have a particular piece of jewellery that they always wear or refuse to part with?

"One amulet. One owner. Two different sides. Two paths." She has a wooden amulet, already clearly worn by time. She always keeps it close by, in a pocket on her belt. On one side was carved the symbol of Cayden Cailean, clearly made by a skillful hand. Her father had made and given it to her as a child, it was her first piece of jewelry. At the time, her family owned a tavern called the Dancing Lights. Therefore, she has a special affection for such places. When she was little, she often prayed to Cayden Cailean for silly things like the most normal child, trying to believe that tomorrow would be better than today and not get discouraged. But prayers didn't keep her from the future.

On the other side was a rather crudely made symbol of Calistria. Melissa had carved it herself when she was a teenager, under the influence of strong emotions. There was still some dried blood from the cuts on this side. Now she was closer to the goddess aspects like lust and revenge. But whether her revenge will bring her peace of mind remains to be seen…

On one hand, anyone might think: "Why didn't she throw it away or destroy it? It reminds her of the past!" Knowing her character, she could have done so, but she didn't. After all, this simple amulet was the only valuable thing in her life that had always been with her and belonged only to her. Perhaps she still remembered and loved her parents, and it was a piece of her then good childhood. Later, she would definitely ask Trever to teach her how to carve something out of wood (but to no avail, she has no talent for it, just like she has no talent for singing, and I emphasize this for a reason your ears will hurt). Melissa claims she doesn't care about the gods and doesn't believe in anything, but it's not uncommon to hear her talk about them or utter phrases that one would only hear from a believer. I've already made an illustration of this in advance, ehehe:

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?

Sounds like a pretty interesting question… Gosh, I hope I got the point of the question right. At the beginning of the game, Melissa was afraid to feel affection for someone. It's hard and painful. For so many years of her life, she has firmly believed that love and affection are temporary. It is very easy to take advantage of another person's trust in this way. And even if you have friends or family, they will be gone and she will be alone. Again. But even a wild cat can be tamed with love and attention, right? As the story progresses, some companions show their good attitudes towards her and it works, her opinion on the matter changes for the better. So... Melissa loves acts of physical affection. She doesn't mind at all if you just give her a hug or a pat on the head, although she will grumble a bit. You don't need much more than that. She rarely received such simple signs of affection from anyone, except for two close friends from her past… But one of them is dead, and the other betrayed her at a crucial moment. As for acts of emotional affection… Melissa still has a problem fully opening up to even her closest people and honestly telling them what's wrong with her. She easily dodges uncomfortable questions (especially about her past or well-being) with jokes and diverts your attention. But now she is trying to correct this bad habit, because it can bring even more problems and misunderstandings.

BONUS: A sketch that will probably become a full art in time. I liked it too much. They're so cute. Here are all the ones Melissa has made really good friends with. That doesn't mean she has a bad attitude towards the others, each companion needs a separate explanation. Poor Sosiel… Patience and strength to you.

🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

The dragon, the lost squad, the ever attacking demons, the x200 reports from Regill that she still has to sign ХD… She has some very "fun" days. She's a hedonist. That ACTUALLY says it all, how she likes to relax after a hard day. And in general, after paperwork or after returning to Drezen, she likes to go to a tavern and have a good drink. Preferably with someone. Better yet, get drunk with EVERYONE she can. She's usually joined by Seelah, Lann, Woljif, Daeran, and of course Arushalae (she's always the most sober). Of the slightly unusual rituals… She may, when she feels the need, sit somewhere alone or with Fluffy. Fortunately, of course, she'll find someone who will forever brighten her loneliness (I really don't want to make her life any more bleak).

To be honest, she doesn't like to be alone for long. That's when bad and sad thoughts start coming into Melissa's head. She prefers to distract herself from them any way she can. But in the future this will play a cruel joke on her.

I feel a kind of sadness and loneliness from this picture...

Just drawings with me from other sources. Two picture caption: thieflings conspiracy. I just don't have it possible to translate Russian text into English in the art, only text ХD Art with us (except she's not wearing armor) from Riigoje:

And from me (I got carried away again, it was supposed to be a simple drawing.):

… And yes. That's what I look like in real life in the second art and that's really my clothes. Pink leopard robe and long pigtails. So what? 🗿 I like the irony of myself and my appearance. And... I recently started a Telegram (does anyone even use it here???). I liked a comment a person made about us, I laughed for a long time. I translated it for you, if you're interested:

It was fun watching another artist see you, heh.

A little bit of my own: Right now I'm only posting life posts, thoughts regarding characters and stories on Telegram. And art... Lots of art… ///o____o/// I'd rather not tell you what I post on there. So I won't leave a link. Ahahaha… Especially all in Russian, it won't be interesting.

Shared meme with Riigoje (there will be a link to VK, she doesn't have a Tumblr account, which is a shame).

4:19 - Woljif didn't get the joke at first:

4:20 - AND THEN HE CAUGHT THE FUCKIN' JOKE)))0))0))0)):

A little bit about the post:

This meme is a few days old now. We drew it separately and sent it to each other at the same time. Laughs. Riigoje offered to do it.

Oh yeah… Does anyone remember that I participated in the voting and lost…? It was her who beat me ;D We became friends by accident. But I'm glad because the boy is in good hands in our RuPathfinderAsk. The love for Woljif brings people together! 🤣💜

I'm a little happy ~

It's funny, but I feel like I got the best compliment on the character. That my commander Melissa is a strong…. I mean, a strong, beautiful female character! Not a typical sexualized horny woman with boobs out and a fucked up psyche ХD It makes me realize that she does have an interestingly heavy backstory, plot, personality and I want to explore her even more from different sides.

#I'm really happy about that #I'm trying to paint but I feel so physically heavy and bad... #I really want to go to sleep #I've been asked a question about the character and I'm preparing my answer little by little ♥

-Do they ever have normal interactions?

- They do. Sometimes...

God, you have no idea how much I especially like the first frame. I love them so much. It's so tender 🤧 I really want to pull his cheeks too.

… No comment. Yes. Animals. I DON'T LIKE DRAWING ANIMALS!!! It's all @nnibarrel's fault! When she said that Woljif was going to be a raccoon, I've had that idea in my head ever since. If anything, Melissa is a serval.
