Weird fun facts about your oc(s)

rules: share some fun facts about your oc(s). they don't have to be relevant to their story, perhaps even better if they aren't. the weird ones are the best!

tagged by @dragonologist-phd , thanks for the tag! gonna do one for each WotR commander since I don't write about some of them enough.

Hilde Svalksdottir

Hilde was arrested by Hellknights during her travels in Cheliax for consorting with a witch. She ended up having to break out of where she was being detained and is technically still a wanted fugitive in Cheliax.

Hilde has a beautiful singing voice, but is a bit insecure over it being somewhat low and masculine. She eventually learns to own it and how well she can hit lower notes, growls, or screams.

Hilde’s halo responds heavily to her mood, shining more brightly when she’s happy and dimming when she’s depressed or melancholy. When she gets particularly angry it flickers and shifts to a more orange glow.

Nadia Karayan

Nadia has a bad scar on her left palm. She falsely claims she got it in a fight with her parents, but she actually got it from getting careless with a broken glass bottle she was using for alchemy.

Being a dhampir, her body temperature is lukewarm. She gets really touchy and cuddly with people she's comfortable around because she loves the warmth from touching them.

Nadia captured a few rats to use as guinea pigs for experimental potions, but she ended up naming them, getting really attached, and just keeps them as pets now.

Sakura Redpetal

She will never admit this to another soul, but the red coloration at the tips of her hair and her nails isn't natural. Her fur is naturally almost pure white, so she dyes it like that using magic. She just likes the aesthetic.

Sakura has a special hatred for succubi/incubi because she views using magic for seduction as cheating and thinks that succubi are actually kind of bad at seducing mortals without magic (definitely worse than her, at least).

While pretending to worship Arshea was originally pure deception, over time Sakura's gotten more fond of Arshea's edicts and really does support her faith.

Lilke of Calm Reeds (Through the Ashes)

Lilke uses her tail and horns as a weapon and has gotten really good at tripping with her tail. Her skull is unusually hard, like a goat's, so her headbutts are devastating.

She rarely talks about it because she doesn't like to brag, but she studied briefly at the Houses of Perfection in Jalmeray and intends to go back once she's stronger.

Lilke's qlippoth heritage tends to come out against her will when she faces demons and she can get uncomfortably brutal when fighting them. It also pushes her to accidentally destroy objects near her when she fights.

Not going to tag anyone specific, but if you see this consider yourself tagged!

Owlcatober Day 3: Reading

Something a bit different from Sakura, my kitsune inquisitor of the Green Mother, and Camellia. I want to give her some softer characterization because most of what I’m writing for her is going to be extremely Trickster and extremely smutty. This takes place during Act 3.

“The s-scout unit sent to… Fuck. T-E-M-P-L-E. That’s… Yoi kari no shinden, Temple of the Good Hunt.” Sakura groaned, her usually-vibrant ears and tail dripping with exhaustion. She was alone in her war room in the middle of the night, poring over the day’s reports from the field trying to make sense of them. One of the kitsune’s snowy ears twitched as footsteps approached. A guard? No, she had dismissed them.

It was Camellia. She stood in the doorway, purring, dressed in nothing but a sheer dress. “Hello… Working late, are we? A bunch of pointless nonsense…”

Sakura sighed. Ordinarily, such a dress and such a sultry tone would have her already pinning the half-elf on the war table, but tonight she was dedicated to her studies. “Good evening, Camellia.”

The half elf rolled her eyes and lounged against the table. “Good evening to you too, my friend! My, what’s happened to Sakura, that she’s interested in boring reports over someone offering a delightful night…” She leaned over to whisper in Sakura’s ear. “What would the Green Mother say?”

That brought a smirk to Sakura’s tired muzzle. “She would applaud my devotion to keeping up with intrigue reports over the temptations of intimacy.” Her luxurious, fluffy tail wiggled triumphantly as she went back to trying to read the report.

Camellia groaned, laying over the table like a petulant child and grabbing the report out of Sakura’s hands. “Hmph. What’s this even about?” Her eyes flashed back to Sakura to see something she head’s expected. Sudden panic. Her eyes flitted back to the report. She had been in here for at least an hour, yet she was still on the second page. Her eyes narrowed as she looked back at Sakura. “Well?”

The panic grew, Sakura’s thick fur standing on end. She didn’t know. The kitsune had been struggling for weeks to learn how to read, ever since they had set out from Drezen. She scoffed and rolled her eyes. “You can read it just fine. You know what it’s about.”

Camellia smirked triumphantly. That confirmed it. She flipped through the pages idly, sitting up. “Oh, I can. But you can’t, can you? Sakura, my friend, are you illiterate?” Sakura’s cheeks flushed so deeply with shame it was evident even through her fur. Camellia burst out into mocking laughter. “You are! Ha, that’s rich! The Commander of the Fifth Crusade can’t read! Why on Golarion-“

Shame turned to indignation, then fury in an instant. Sakura’s fur stood on end as she grabbed the file, her claws digging into the folder. “Yes! Fine! I never learned! I’m not some rich brat whose daddy could pay for tutors!”

Camellia’s own indignation rose, but… Well, she was right. She merely scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Well, there’s no need to be rude. It’s not my fault I was born lucky, but it is yours for not bothering to learn such a basic skill of society.”

Sakura let out a bark of derision. “Oh, yes, ‘society’! Camellia. You have no idea what it was like for me as a child.” Her fur bristled with thinly-veiled contempt. “I love my life, I love who I am. But that doesn’t mean I’ve had it good. I was an outcast from the beginning. Foxfolk are fey tricksters, they’re untrustworthy monsters because they change shape. The Green Mother took me in, but that just painted another target on my back! I’m… I'm so grateful to her, but… Her followers are hated by those who don’t understand. Killed. I’ve never lived in a city. I’ve never had the chance to learn to read.” She sighed.

Camellia calmed down, glancing aside. “I haven’t had it easy, either. My mother is dead, Mireya-“

Sakura snarled. “Shut up. You and I both know Mireya is a fiction.” The words were a bolt of ice that pierced Camellia’s heart. Terror grew in her rapidly, only barely shoved down. Sakura couldn’t lie to herself, she took some small enjoyment in it.

“You… W-what?” She knew? How had she figured out, the unspoken question lingered in the air.

Sakura’s hand drifted to her neck, grabbing onto a figure with colorful sashes hanging on a silver chain. She took it off and pressed it to Camellia’s amulet. “Camellia, what is this?”

“The… Holy symbol of Arshea you use to pass yourself off as one of her clerics.”

“Mm. And I keep my unholy symbol, the Green Mother’s symbol, hidden. You once called me a wolf among sheep. Maybe that’s true, but those sheep can and will tear me apart if they find out who I truly am. So I hide. And I’ve gotten very good at recognizing those like me. Like you. And after years of hiding my own faith, I’m good at spotting those who pretend to have divine favor. I know that amulet is empty of spirits.”

Camellia was struck. She suddenly wanted some wine to drown in, but none was near. All she could do was laugh. “Well… Fuck me, then. How long have you known?”

“I pieced it together the night I caught you murdering that man, and I took a look at your necklace while you slept to make sure.”

Camellia chuckled dryly. “Hm. Well, if you know Mireya is imaginary, then you know that I kill…”

“Because you want to.”

“It’s… Not quite that. I don’t want to. I need to. It’s like a buzzing fly I can never swat… But, if you know…” She glanced down. “Why haven’t you killed me or sent me away?”

Sakura shrugged. “Because I like you. And we’re similar. Wolves hiding among sheep, as much for our own safety as to prey on them.” She sighed and reached out a gentle hand to take Camellia’s.

The half-elf let out a slow, dry chuckle. She slowly removed ‘Mireya’ from her neck and set her aside. “I… I suppose we are. Thank you, then. My true friend. My… My dear. My… Ugh, I don’t know what girls call each other when they’re lovers…”

Sakura snickered softly. “I don’t really know either. Now, please, I’d like to keep studying.”

Camellia sighed reluctantly and hopped off the table. Then she pulled up a chair next to Sakura. “Fine. I’ll help. I was a child once, I know this goes faster with help.”

Sakura’s tail brushed affectionately against Camellia’s side. She murmured out a soft, embarrassed ‘thank you’.
