Shopkeeper Magolor!!! Feat. Some post-epilogue headcanons

After setting up in the Dream Kingdom, I hc Magolor would keep his magic abilities more of a secret this time, even though he just went through all of that to get them back, since he wants to make a fresh start here. Though there’s the occasional rumors, and he still plays with that sometimes. So instead to defend himself and the Shoppe when necessary he keeps a familiar sword by his side, and actually does some training to learn how to use the thing properly lol. But perhaps he’s really keeping it with him because subconsciously it’s a reminder that he’s free, he’s safe.

Also he has magic burn scars on his hands from the overwhelming amount of energy it took to create the ultra sword for the very first time.

hello this is an invitation/request to ramble about textile production in rivendell vs the swamp in the arranged marriages au I am very curious about this thank you

Most of this is going under a cut because it is going to get a bit long and rambly and is 100% as much an info-dump as it is a worldbuilding post.

the TLDR is Wool VS Linen

MOSTLY INFO DUMP PORTION

Rivendell:

The majority of Rivendell textiles are wool-based.

They do import some silk from the Overgrown but that is reserved for special occasions and items. Mostly silk threads are used for magical stitching and silk fabric as a center lining for leather and chain armor.

Almost everything else is wool.

Most of their wool comes from sheep but they also have llamas, rabbits, and goats that all are domesticated for this purpose. (Wool as a term refers to any fiber obtained from an animal, even if some of it is technically hair, for textile purposes it is wool)

Most of their export is sheep wool, they have, in fact, increased their sheep herds specifically to accommodate export in the recent decade or so as they open their borders and form alliances beyond the Overgrown.

Wool is an incredibly versatile fiber. It's water resistant and thermal properties make it ideal for the snowy mountain terrain of Rivendell's territory. It can also be made into fabric so fine it is literal gauze. It can be felted it can be knitted it can be woven. Saying Rivendell's textiles are almost 95% wool does not accurately convey how varied those textiles are. Generations of Rivendell elves have spent their ~500 year long lifespans coming up with new things to do with wool.

And its not just from sheep.

Rabbit wool is most commonly used for items like underclothes or baby clothes and blankets.

Llama wool actually comes in two distinct forms, because Llamas have layered coats. Originally they were used as beasts of burden but were also, over the generations, bred for fleece as well. Their rougher outer coats are used more for things like rope and cordage, the inner fleece is similar to rabbit.

Llama is also the least common wool, since it takes about two years for a llama to regrow its coat after shearing and they aren't exactly the most space efficient of livestock. The fleece is one of the luxury exports sold mostly to foreign nobility who want to feel fancy and brag about their "exotic [insert item here]". The outer coat fibers are mostly sold as cordage, which is excellent quality and in high demand in the seafaring nations. (This is also due to elvish craft-magic, more on that later in the worldbuilding-focused section)

Goats are a full range from coarser fibers to fine soft ones. It functions much the same as sheep fiber, just with a lower yield. Goats are primarily used in the outer villages of Rivendell in the highest, sheerest cliffs where they are more suited to the terrain than their moor wool-laden cousins.

The Swamp:

Most Swamp-made textiles are linen.

Mostly made from flax and/or hemp. (Yes, that kind of hemp, go ahead, make the jokes.)

(Hemp grown for fiber is a different variety than hemp grown for more recreational reasons. It has a much lower THC and the plant itself is a lot larger. I'm not saying they don't grow the other kind, and use it medicinally, but it isn't relevant to anything I will be writing. If that's your wheelhouse you are welcome to take this and run with it.)

Linen is a lightweight and absorbent fabric that is ideal for hotter climates so it is very common to see in the Northern kingdoms. It's absorbency does mean it dirties and starts smelling fairly quickly but it is also a very resilient fabric that takes washing well. It also has the default state of "wrinkled" which, to someone accustomed to other types of fabric, does lend itself to looking rather unkempt. (You see where I'm going with this.)

Like wool there is a wide range of fabrics, ranging from the ultra fine and soft to coarser, more Textured pieces. (basically, the underclothes to sail canvas range) both flax and hemp, especially the latter, are also used to make cordage and hemp in particular is often used to make macrame and beaded jewelry, irl and in the Swamp. Fishing nets are also a common product.

Textiles are not a notable export of the Swamp so there is less to say there.

IRL flax linen makes up some of the oldest surviving fabric and clothing samples, dating back thousands of years.

Flax fibers are not elastic, they don't stretch and shrink while worked with and don't have a lot of give. This does make working with it in the process of fabric making somewhat difficult and requiring a lot of skill. The resulting fabric though is incredibly durable so its a trade off.

The Mostly Worldbuilding Portion

This is just going to be a bunch of disorganized bullet points really

A significant portion of the flax used by the Swamp from linen production is grown and harvested in Helianthia and brought to the swamp for manufacture. This is actually the primary threat Mythland represents, (you know, besides rampant destruction and harassment along the border) is interrupting that trade route. They do also grow their own but do not enough for what is needed.

Elvish magic is almost entirely based around fiber arts. Embroidery, knot-work, charms stitched into seams and knitted into the very makeup of a garment. Wool and Gold. (gold-thread embroidery is powerful stuff) A side effect of all of this is that when small Xornoth started setting things on fire and small Scott sneezed frost it was a pretty solid indication that their magic was a bit more directly divinely sourced.

Related, elvish rope is reliable. It doesn't degrade or break or even cut easily. (This is straight from Tolkein but it works too well not to poach)

Elves build things to last, a single elf-made garment can last for several human generations. At least.

Net making/repair in the Swamp is one of those community tasks that a lot of people sit down together and do while socializing. Almost everyone has at least the basic skills required.

Generations worth of irreplaceable historical tapestries were lost when Xornoth burned down the Rivendell palace during their coup and every time the weavers and artisans and historians of the kingdom remember that they come very close to being assassinated.

Link was packing up for a trip to another kingdom a couple weeks from Hyrule he still had the ultra hand before he could leave he saw Yona, and Sidon walk up to him the both of them smiling "Link" Yona would say smiling as Sidon waved before speaking"We heard you were about to leave so we chose to come say goodbye before you go dear link" Sidon would say as Link nodded "Yeah I got a message from the Gerudo of a unknown threat said to be using unknown magic" Link would say.

"Yes we heard that aswell we've been attempting to assist them when we can" Sidon would say Link would nod "Ha that's good" Link would say as he noticed Sidon kneeling down "Um may I ask why you're kneeling down Sid-" before he could finish he felt them both kiss him blushing he would look at them but he would soon go back to normal as he went a kissed them both before walking away towards the gerudo deast

Round 3, Match 3: Oathkeeper and Oblivion vs. Magolor's Ultra Sword

Oathkeeper and Oblivion

From: Kingdom Hearts

Wielder: Roxas

Roxas’ origin as Sora’s nobody allows him to uniquely dual-wield keyblades, whereas Sora could only wield one of these at a time. The teeth of Oathkeeper and Oblivion represent the kanji for “light” and “dark,” respectively. Oathkeeper represents Sora’s memories of Kairi, while Oblivion represents his memories of Riku.

Ultra Sword

From: Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe

Wielder: Magolor

The Ultra Sword is a gigantic sword fueled by dimensional magic. It can break the strongest shields in a few hits. It can be summoned at any time, and due to its large size it works effectively as both an area-of-effect attack and a finishing blow. It is not just a powerful weapon but also a symbolic memento for its wielder, Magolor.

an assortment of various fionna and cake finale thoughts :)

to start off: I did enjoy it a lot! it was a little bit underwhelming I will admit (I think just because it was way overhyped as this super ultra sad thing) and it did feel a little (lot) rushed towards the end but honestly I don't really blame them for that? they only had 10 episodes to work with and plenty of things to tie up, and overall I did enjoy the ending, even if it left some things VERY open.

THE NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE IN FIONNA WORLD HELLO??? that shit was genuinely unsettling I LOVE it

I enjoyed golbetty, I loved how intimidating they made her, but I wish we got more of betty as herself.

I liked seeing shermy and beth again. I like the nod to the audience that hey, this isn't an alternate reality betty sent simon to. this is their ooo, this book was written by this simon -- perhaps so he wouldn't forget what betty taught him. perhaps to cope, to explore what their lives could've been like, if he hadn't let betty sacrifice so much. I also did thoroughly enjoy the segments of casper and nova.

fionna should've lost her arm during the fight with the scarab I think. she's GOING to lose it one way or another. I feel like it would've been a nice way to make the scarab more of a threat towards the people living in fionna world and not just. idk. buildings.

ALSO THEY SHOULD'VE ELABORATED ON THE WHOLE ANTI-MAGIC TOUCH THING. it felt like that was building to something and then it just Didn't. it was not a factor in either of these episodes and that sucks a little bit.

I've seen a few people bring up "show, don't tell" in response to some of the episodes and I absolutely get where that's coming from. from a storytelling standpoint yeah, they could've shown more than they told -- but also, from a characterization standpoint, it feels like simon isn't the type to RESPOND to indirect approaches. if he was not told, directly, that casper and nova's relationship was horribly flawed despite the love they had for each other, the message wouldn't have gotten through his head. if he didn't keep talking about it, it wouldn't have stuck. look at his behavior jumping through dimensions; nearly every world they visited, the behavior of that world's simon was the inciting incident. farmworld simon died preventing the mushroom war from ever happening. winter king regained his sanity only by inflicting the madness on another. vampire world simon was killed before he found and raised marcy. in the case of farmworld and vampire world, it's like the universe is trying to tell him look at what happens when you die early. look at how much you matter. and in the winter kingdom, that there is no secret "middle ground" with the crown. you'll be stuck between forcing another to carry the curse or being ice king until the sun blows up. but he doesn't pick up on these lessons. he wasn't forced to look at the dead bodies of farmworld or vampire world's simons. he brushed the winter king off as just being a fucked up simon, and proceeding to say he could be cursed "the right way," as if there's any winning with that crown. hell, this even applies to his and betty's relationship! he never thought much about how much betty was sacrificing because it seems like she never brought it up. that obviously isn't an excuse, but my point is: simon is a man that NEEDS to be told things, not shown. he needs to talk about things to process them (also see his video logs of his descent into madness). also pointing loudly at casper's design he has bandages covering his eyes he CAN'T see. he CAN'T see the things that might seem obvious to other people. he CAN'T see how much nova is sacrificing. this bullet point got a lot longer than I meant it to be but that's my take on a lot of the "show don't tell" stuff in the finale, outside of, again, the episode feeling a bit too rushed.

the detail of the betty statue in fionna and cake's world turning into one of golbetty is one that I really like. it feels like. idk. acceptance, on simon's end. that's still the love of his life, now as she's chosen to be, rather than how he remembered her.

I feel like the open-endedness of a lot of the stuff we've seen is because the crew has said they're interested in making more spinoffs, but holy shit I wish we actually got to see how simon going missing EFFECTED people in ooo. I wish we got to see people, even just randoms that frequented his museum-house, growing increasingly concerned for the 20th century man that never missed a day of work. I wish we got to see finn, who knew simon was in an awful place the day he disappeared, maybe stop by to visit, only to find him gone. or marceline showing up because he wasn't answering her calls (he ALWAYS answers her calls) and being worried about him. I wish we got to see people looking for him, or assuming the worst, or finding the golb shrine he'd hidden away in his closet, or finding choose goose's fried corpse on the floor of his home. I wish we got to see the confrontation that came afterwards, or him going out of his way to find and apologize to astrid. but whatever. I guess.

scrabby being reduced to prismo's assistant bc prismo STILL put in a good word for him after everything. he really is everyone's friend. scrabby is legally mandated to chill the fuck out Or Else and prismo isn't even trying to get on his nerves he's a better man than me. not only did he "put in a good word" he GAVE scrabby what he WANTED, to some extent. he is a wishmaster (or rather, could become one) like??? prismo is the guy ever you could do anything and he could still chill with you.

the bittersweet ending to petrigrof has left a hole in my heart <3 they are everything to me and everything to each other but finally learning that it's okay to let go and move on despite the pain is the best ending their story could've gotten, in canon.

there's probably more in my brain that I could write about but its 6 am and I havent gone to bed yet so end of post <3

Rafal the Unethical Psychologist - Part 4

If anyone's wondering why I've been posting more than usual, I'm clearing out some pre-written drafts. A lot of these have been around for months, and I thought it was time. Also, any feedback is much appreciated!

⸻

[Rhian is having his afternoon teatime when Rafal enters the glass atrium, bringing a particular query.]

Rafal: I've come up with a way to meddle with a person's pain receptors. It's definitely a significant breakthrough, Rhian. No surgery required, just magical interference, through the branches of the nervous system. I can simulate painful sensations, and even direct electrical currents to certain areas of the brain with ultra-fine needles. This will revolutionize the Doom Room. [He looks proud.]

Rhian: [aghast, looking a bit green around the gills] And you're telling me this why?

Rafal: Who's your least favorite student? I need a test subject, and none of the Nevers will volunteer for torture, much less torture that doesn't leave impressive scars—

Rhian: [rolls his eyes] Of course. I'm positive that that's why you have zero volunteers.

Rafal: Yes, they refuse to endure torture as punishment if it doesn't leave visible scars. [musing] This year's miscreants are Uglification-obsessed, come to think of it. They can't seem to register how deception comes into play with villainy, the batch of dolts!

Rhian: Well. I think I've heard enough! I will not sacrifice one of my students to you as if they were chattel! What a disgrace to the Institute!

Rafal: Oh, all right. I'll wait and use the failed students as my experimental group... and lean into using Hook and his escapades from our tale as a teachable moment. Your Evers will thank you for an account from one of their own, their supposedly infallible School Master. And they won't suffer like the fools they are, assuming they learn from the king of all fools.

Rhian: [with gritted teeth, straining his voice] Why thank you, Rafal. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Rafal: [grins superiorly] My pleasure.

Rhian: Oh, please. I won't let you experiment on my charges. It shan't be allowed on my watch. If you're really dead set on it, take it up with the Woods Inter-kingdom Board of Villainous Experiments, or better yet, test it on yourself.

Rafal: Fine. Maybe I will. And, remember: precise wording, brother. I could gouge out your eyes, and continue with my experiment, not on your watch. You should be glad I'm not a rogue genie.

Rhian: [buries his face in his hands, with a long sigh] No. You're worse. [exasperatedly] What am I going to do with you?

Rafal: [staidly] Let me and my experiments be. [He walks out.]

Rhian: [breathes into his teacup and rests his brow on the edge of his table as his chair scrapes back, loudly. Then, he mumbles under his breath:] That was a rhetorical question...

Is Mina also dragon? because she has horns and can spit acid and her and Kiri grew up together?

IM GONNA DRAW MINA im just tired and i don't wanna leave this sitting in the box,

ok so Mina she's a human there are 3-4 species in this AU cause this AU is fantasy but without magic cause they just have their quirks but it's so wacky that they kinda have like are ultra edited version of their quirks but some of them don't have quirks. it's wild.

Anyway Mina is a human who lived/lives near the fire kingdom she like hunts monsters (video game rpg style monsters) for their items they drop so she can make concoctions like healing drinks or things that poison the enemy stuff like that

She mix the wrong things and it blew up on her this particular combination reacted with her physiological makeup, permanently dyeing her skin pink and her eyes black lol it also gave her kinda a power it

it gave her heightened senses, she can perceive energy signals of things that live/are currently living/or fading with life. Everyone to Mina has a chalky coloring around them and she can see that additionally she calls it her "girl's intuition" but the stuff that blew up on made it where she can just sense insincere intentions so if your lying she'll know, or say "this gives bad vibes"/"i have a bad feeling about this"

she is friends with Kirishima tho, she met him after he split from his human dad, Mina,Kirishima,Sero and Kaminari are friends but Bakugo doesn't know them yet Bakugo, i will use the word "lives" in the fire kingdom cause i wanna kinda comic out what's happened in this AU so far

there are certain era's in this world i call New world and Old world Mina was born around the time of peace long after the tragedy and the great dragon hunt ended

Go Phoebe. Does being a Were affect her transition (or vice versa)? Can imagine she's made and endured a lot of terrible pussycat jokes.

Werecats occupy a unique space in the shifter 'kingdom' in that they all universally start out human, and are all practitioners of some form of ritual magic. Many are capable of extensive body modification, or were heavily experimenting with it prior to coming into their own as a shifter, and Phoebe's no different in that regard. She has, for all intents and purposes, a cis woman's body, internally and ex-.

For a variety of reasons, she didn't have much choice in that particular decision - something she does sometimes regret - but there are far too many spoilers to go into, there. It'll be covered, though, promise.

Notably, not every trans practitioner chooses to modify themselves to fully mimic cis bodies, nor are they a strong majority. Plenty very much resemble what we see in our modern, non-magical world. Others still reach for the opportunity to go further, whatever that happens to mean for them personally.

As for the 'classic' Shifters:

There's an interesting quirk in their biology that allows for rapid modifications during a change.

Werewolves have ultra-fast healing during the change itself due to how much new Everything is being generated, which includes alterations to body chemistry. If you have a simple limb fracture prior to a change, you can essentially 'set it and forget it.' If it's set properly, it'll heal normally, maybe with some new fragility/aches and pains, but more or less how it used to be. Similarly, if it's improperly set, it'll be more or less fully healed when the change is complete, but it'll have healed incorrectly. Maybe you now have a permanent limp, or strained tendons, or nerve damage, and the limb now needs to be rebroken and reset (which may not fix the damage).

This also means that surgical alterations can be "set" like this, as in: if you have a limb removed, it won't regrow, but the wounds themselves will get closer to being completely healed.

Clever shifters looking to transition have learned to exploit this by taking what for a normal human would be an absurdly high dose of [preferred hormone], in the minutes leading up to a shift. Once the shift happens, they metabolize that payload, and their body responds, refashioning itself according to the new rush of instructions. What takes weeks in a human on HRT takes minutes. After that, they take hormones like any normal human, with the intermittent megadose every month or so (or three months, if they're holding off on shifting regularly).

That said, all those changes can be steadily erased if they go through several successive shifts (3 to 5) without the higher dosage prior to a shift. Full reversion can be a very real threat as time progresses (assuming the shifter has not had surgerical interventions, which do not revert), so trans shifters will frequently get in touch with practitioners to find more permanent/less cumbersome solutions.

Biglong ask incoming, I kept getting more ideas as I typed lol. Hope you’ve got a ramble already locked and loaded. This might be a bit much otherwise, sorry. 😅

So… How big are things in MoS? Like the empires are presumably much larger than the Minecraft counterparts, being actually functional empires. How long is travel between the empires? Is the Minecraft map basically proportional or would things scale up differently? Is there just a separate map for the AU or are the broad strokes close enough to use the original world as a reference?

And what does travel actually look like? Are elytra a common thing for people to have? If they’re rare and valuable, who gets to use them? How about boats, horses, camels, lamas, donkeys? What’s common? Are there empire specific preferences for mounts/vehicles? Do we got flying machines, and would you see them outside the grimlands? How does pix tend to travel when he goes wandering?

When the dragons get brought back (gem would not appreciate the passive voice there) do dragon riders pop up? Do they become more common mounts eventually?

What is travel between empires like? Who lets people through easily, who doesn’t, and how do they enforce it? (especially with the flying people) What’s the process to be allowed into more closed off empires? I imagine the rules are different with allies, so what are they in that case?

Do you have any big trade routes you already thought of? Is ocean trade and travel generally allowed by lizze? Are there any silly circuitous routes that trade or travel has to take to get around closed off borders; get around both as in literally geographically around and metaphorically, as in around the rules.

Do winged sophonts ride on mounts sometimes; for comfort or for pomp and circumstance? Or is flying just so much faster that they basically never bother? Are there underwater mounts for the seafolk? Do seafolk use boats for themselves? Can seafolk swim faster than boats? Travel long distances faster?

Nether travel exists too! Or does it? Xornoth didn’t get possessed, so is the nether still around? If it is, how common is nether travel? Is it like the baseline for long trips, or a restricted ultra-fast highway? Probably depends on how hard it is to make portals in AUland. Do they even make more at all? If not commonplace, do the portals have like, waiting lists? Who tends to use them? Is it mostly used for trade?

Oh jeez, my asks are only getting longer. I feel like I need a tldr. Actually..

TLDR: a bunch of questions about travel in the MoS AU, more specifically regarding, in order; scale, vehicles, borders, trade routes, flying and swimming manually, and the nether.

Ok, now I think I’m finally actually done, for real this time, and I hope you have a good day. <3

Usually I either do have a ramble locked and loaded or it doesn't take much to get one going so I wouldn't worry about it XD

going to go ahead and preemptively pop in a readmore because, all this. (Also this ask is very funny to me because the literal first few paragraphs of the upcoming chapter do actually talk a bit about travel. In the sense of "Jimmy has flown all the way to the Overgrown and is dried up and cranky about it.")

How Big Is It All?

I have messed a bit with the proportions. On the actual SMP for example, Helianthia is one of the smaller empires, while that just...isn't quite feasible for the purposes of the AU since the sort of large scale agriculture happening there needs Space. Even when its magically assisted agriculture. Basically I'm using the official map and just adjusting proportions a bit. I might make my own "official" version for the AU at some point, but I haven't really bothered at this point.

Helianthia, Mezalea, and Mythland in particular are all pretty big. Some of the other kingdoms, like Pixandria, are fairly small but just spread out over a large area. (In this case, small populations clustered in a few different oases) Rivendell technically has a fairly large territory, but a lot of the Southern reaches of it are abandoned. Things like that.

Travel?

Travel time depends on who is traveling to/from where and how. There are elytra but they are extremely rare and are reserved for the rulers themselves and, in a few cases, particularly trusted messengers who act as couriers for high-security documents/messages. Mythland, Mezalea, Pixandria, Helianthia, The Ocean, The Swamp, and The Grimlands all make use of elytra to differing levels, while Rivendell, The Overgrown, and The Lost Empire have enough citizens with wings of their own that they don't really bother. The Crystal Cliffs use spells to achieve the same effect (Shrub doesn't even arrive until after the story has already begun, so I leave them out of a lot of this discussion mostly because a lot of it will be in the actual fics explicitly as they learn to find their way around a strange new world full of stupidly tall people.)

Boats and ships are very common for the seafaring kingdoms; The Swamp, Mezalea, and Mythland. Pixandria also has a few but they mostly use them for near-shore fishing and shorter ferry trips. Ocean trade and travel routes are heavily effected by the existence of the Ocean Empire in general and Lizzie in particular. The Mythlands used to be much more seafaring then they currently are, and yes, they do have to take some rather circuitous routes these days.

There are very much empire specific preferences for mounted travel, though horses are fairly standard in most empires. A lot of those will show up fairly quickly in the series so I won't do a full breakdown here but yes, Pearl does have her golden goose because I love that that is a thing.

Pix has traveled just about every way imaginable and he is just as likely to show up at your door on foot as he is by elytra.

There are some flying machines, though they are not incredibly reliable. They are mostly used by the Grimlands yes though Mezalea also has a couple of more dirigible-style transports.

I'm actually going to put a pin in the topic of the dragons for now. :)

What is travel between empires like? Who lets people through easily, who doesn’t, and how do they enforce it? (especially with the flying people) What’s the process to be allowed into more closed off empires? I imagine the rules are different with allies, so what are they in that case? Do you have any big trade routes you already thought of? Is ocean trade and travel generally allowed by lizze? Are there any silly circuitous routes that trade or travel has to take to get around closed off borders; get around both as in literally geographically around and metaphorically, as in around the rules.

These will both be kind of covered in the post that I will make with the trade routes map i mentioned making earlier but the tldr is yes, alliances definitely affect trade and travel, though the emperors themselves tend to go wherever they want and show up on each others doorstep with zero warning, there are some instances in which this is heavily discouraged. (Mythical Sausage is Not Welcome in the Cod Swamp. He shows up anyway. This is a major topic of conversation that I have been writing about lately XD) Some empires also heavily discourage air travel by outsiders.

(So yes most of the winged rulers do have backup mounts for such cases.)

The Ocean Empire does not really use boats or ships but the Swamp does. Some Sea-folk are faster than ships straight up, but mostly they aren't as limited by ocean currents and wind patterns and so can often take more direct routes. (Though they also do use the currents)

Nether travel does exist. Xornoth's connection to the Nether is a little bit different in this AU, just because I've tweaked the mythology to suit my own purposes and story. So there are Nether roads, though how frequently they are used and how well they are maintained varies wildly. The Ocean Empire and the majority of The Swamp population avoid it when possible, because it's basically instant dehydration for them and is an incredibly dangerous way to travel. A significant portion of the Rivendell population is also very ill-suited for travel in the Nether as well. It's primarily used for extreme distances or for some of the WRA. It's mostly used for time sensitive things that won't be harmed by the heat. Some trade, but mostly travel.

Nether travel won't show up much for the first two arcs but will feature heavily in the third arc so I'll go into it in a lot more detail there.

Eye Colour: Dark Violet

Hair Colour: Black

Occupation: Magic Knight Captain

Squad: Fuchsia Panthers

Appearance:

Janine is a fairly tall, athletic woman with shoulder length raven hair and dark violet eyes. Whenever Janine gets excited, her pupils narrow to cat-like slits.

Ordinarily wearing casual attire along with her Fuchsia Panthers robe, across her back lies a set of nasty scars and burns that Janine claims stings whenever they come into contact with water.

Personality:

Coming off as an incredibly crass person at first, Janine has an open disdain for royalty that makes it difficult for most Magic Knights to even understand how she was made a captain in the first place.

In spite of this, her squad understands her feelings greatly, a few members even sharing them as they are privy to how royals had originally ruined Janine’s life.

When she isn’t taking potshots at the upper class, Janine is often described as a party woman, very frequently holding celebrations for her entire squad and sometimes even more. When asked about this, Janine has commented that she throws these parties because any night could be a Magic Knight’s last, so they should have happiness fresh on their mind.

On top of all of that, Janine is a monster in combat, stating to love the atmosphere and rush of battle with all of her heart, as she believes her true purpose is to one day die protecting her squad and she is committed to dying happily.

Battle Prowess: As a Captain of the Clover Kingdom, Janine’s magical prowess is staggering, even taking into account her peasant upbringing. Her attribute in particular, Ultra Violet Magic, is said to have the abilities of both Light and Dark Magic at its full potential.
