Cetlahn was awake Her nails clawed the hard wooden arms of the chair. Splinters dug into her soft palms, sharper than the needle seeds of the thornroot that stuck like burrs in her throat. A massive white bear Three red eyes and teeth like daggers He roars at the sky He spots her, locks eyes with her She is small Shrieking Chained to a chair At the bottom of the mountain He leaps, landing on the path with a CRASH Trees shatter Closer, closer, closer When he rips her apart, will Momma cry?

From Licorice and Mint: Chapter 2 - The In-Between Days

archiveofourown.org/series/1962421
Looking over the assortment of items, she realized that she would have to be careful with so much of this. Mara had been a stickler about separating campus life from the outside world, meaning she could not share any of the going-ons of their friends, jobs, or church politics. In fact it was only because of their father’s position as Head of Intelligence that the other Aasimar was allowed to make regular visits. Being one of the first publicly queer couples had its benefits too. There were so many new rules and precedents they were setting, that the church had to amend some of the more traditional rules of the rumspringa to accommodate the potential Mother Superior. Even still she couldn’t push her luck. Even if she was bending the rules there were still some behaviors or acts she could commit that would put her moral character in question, and jeopardize not only her position as clergy, but also possibly put her at risk of excommunication, the highest form of punishment within the church.

From Tales From New Darpana Bay Vol. 1 - The Diamond Year

Denise meets Nat

archiveofourown.org/works/31450175
As they passed the water cooler a flash of lavender and white caught her attention. Sheepishly standing by one of the pillars was the customer from earlier sucking back a cup of water. The area around the cooler felt distinguishably hotter. She considered that the girl was some mixture of Genasi, but noticed the white sweats and hoodie with sapphire blue lotuses printed on the legs and back. An Aasimar. The customer was one of those Angels from up the way at the clinic. But was she gay? Or just embarrassed to be around a bunch of “heathens and sinners”. What was she doing here? Denise normally kept her cool when it came to modern religious folks, but the Church of Nakshatra was a different story. The Summer of Death still felt like it had happened just 2 years ago instead of 20.

From Licorice and Mint: Ch. 4 - A Thousand Ways to Overdrive

archiveofourown.org/series/1962421
When she wasn’t healing herself from an experiment gone wrong, she was at home practicing her magic, doing chores, and meditating on cycling the energy up within herself so she could recharge faster. And while there was no overt magic allowed in the clinic itself, there was a natural “warmth and positivity” from the doctor that seemed to ease the worst cough, or pull the ache out of bones. It wasn’t powerful healing like she had done for Vola, but it was still a little bit here and there. Enough that no one noticed.

Hypothetical! In an alternate reality where your characters are all going to a modern-day high school, what is their favorite subject (if any)?

Would they join any extracurriculars? Why?

Vola never uses abusive or an aggressive tone with people. Even people she dislikes she is cautiously polite and if she does raise her voice it's almost with a parental tone 🧵 (1/?)

I've asked about mannerisms you only use for one character, today let's flip it!

Are there any words, actions, or descriptors your character notably never uses? Do they never smile, cry, curse, etc?

Why not?

“Phaedra, here.” Gary fired up the tattoo machine. “Is a terrible flirt and our resident lesbian.” “Token lesbian. The one you all make fun of,” Phaedra corrected. “And I’m not flirting. Gary doesn’t understand that people talk for reasons other than wanting to fuck. He spends too much time on Grindr.” “Whatever.” Gary stretched a patch of Andi’s skin and started the linework. Andi gripped Phaedra’s hand. “Token lesbian and resident heartbreaker. A new one every week.” “Really?” Despite the pain, Andi was intrigued. “You’re worried she’s going to break my heart?”

From One Bad Tuesday: Chapter 9 - You Pull Back the Curtain (In-Progress)

archiveofourown.org/series/3591394
Now she had a fierce, long mane of white hair sheared into a mohawk, still sporting the half-royal purple color that Vola helped her paint in. She was strong and revitalized. Given new purpose and knowledge to rebuild her life as a healer. No longer the awkward wannabe punk scared that the Silks were about to abandon her. Vola heard what people called her when they thought Nat wasn’t listening. The Angel of the Silks. Still rail-thin though. Thinner than last month. With as much as she ate, that shouldn’t be the case. Her lavender skin was ashened and not as vibrant as it used to be. It was as if something was draining her vitality. Burning her out in a whole new way. Another question for later. Vola chided herself.

From Truth to Trauma: Ch. 1 - Pineapple on Pizza.

archiveofourown.org/series/4633585
Leaving the shower was worse than being inside it. It meant passing the mirror. It meant seeing herself naked. Seeing something that made her feel dirtier and uglier than the apartment or neighborhood. Silver skin dulled to a dirty gray due to a layer of grime. Soggy tangled curls of bright pink hair. Why pink? Why curls? Why not straight and golden? Yellow eyes burning with a fire that terrified her. It should bring her peace but she knew what that fire was capable of. What she could do if she ever made a mistake. Her ugly destructive body.

From One Bad Tuesday: Ch. 4 - No One To Save You

archiveofourown.org/series/3436765
The tips of Vola’s ears still burned, three bus transfers later. The streets blurred by on the 54 bus. Her mind was still back in the Silks. The memory of Inanni’s baleful gaze swiveling from Vola and her pet pig to Nat replayed over and over. The relief Vola felt over not having that critical stare leveled at her, was stronger than she cared to admit. How did Nat stand it?

Vola tends to "soak" in the moment. She doesn't project her thoughts beyond the sensory joy of that moment and the feelings it inspires.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

What's your character's view on enjoying a moment?

Do they savor it, wishing it could last forever? Enjoy it but still look to the future?

Or are they fixated on the past/future too much to enjoy it at all?
