my little fragmented thing. she spends inordinate amounts of time alone and often not by choice - mind wandering far and wide, while she sleeps or stares from bed. or the floor, on the carpet, under twinkling ceiling lights. in the dark. she awakens and wanders and leaves herself there.

#loresmaiden ; oddly soothing, but not very active. you do need to have the patience to put up with her wandering mind, and she doesn't often do things out of general thoughtfulness or eagerness to please. patient and extremely low maintenance - listens well and speaks little. really loyal.

What would your wol(oc) say when being selected in the trust menu?
February 13, 2026 at 5:07 PM
thinking instead. sometimes sumire can 'fall into' versions of herself being used by the kami when she goes to sleep. eyes closed in bed and then opened in a random spot in yanxia or hingashi. suddenly the visiting maiden seems somehow Less real for the change, if witnessed

sumire slowwwwly but surely grew the horns and tail - at first their parents thought it was some kind of illness that would be too expensive for them to address but both things slowly began to take shape as sumire got older! a little nubby tail, little bone-white horns +
#wolqotd #wolquestion
How much has your WOL/OC's body changed over their lifetime? What have they gained or lost and how do they feel about it when they look at themselves in the mirror?

#loresmaiden ; surprisingly gentle? very loose limbed. strokes your back/arms/hair. only really hugs people she likes, so. soft.

#gentlesword ; so warm!!!! she's very small so you kind of need to hug her more than she's hugging you, but she's a little ball of heat and she squeeeeeeeeeeezes
#wolquestion #wolqotd
What does a hug from your wol(oc) look like?
January 20, 2026 at 4:36 PM
#loresmaiden ;

she already acts that way it becomes very difficult to tell if sumire is struggling or not. long periods of sleep, disconnecting brain and body, barely speaking. the only way to really tell is if you know her and spend a lot of time together to see shes also not eating,
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

What are some coping methods your wol / oc uses when times are rough? Are these considered healthy coping mechanisms to them, or are they rather unhealthy and they know it?

#silmireisms #loresmaiden

to be honest its mostly silas' income. BUT sumire does have a job with the gridania botanists guild because they finally got curious about gil and also delighted that they could make money doing something that they deem enjoyable
What would you say is your character's main source of income IC? Do they earn their gil through random quests on their adventure, or are they perhaps a skilled crafter?
Would you say your character is well off or more on the poor side?

#loresmaiden

sumis like a 10+ theres a reason shes a yanxian myth. even when they're standing right infront of you they have such a small presence you might not notice them for a while. they Are clumsy but its more everyday clumsiness (papercuts, hitting leg on coffee table)
#wolqotd on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being clumsy mess that alerts the enemy with the clapping of them cheeks and 10 being I AM THE NIGHT, how stealthy is your WoL/OC? Could they get in/out of a location absolutely undetected or they have the diva genes and can't function without making an entrance

character sheet update yayyyyy

#loresmaiden ;

in a way? not the type to blow up and point a finger at you, but if they think you're wrong they'll repeatedly say so until either you get so mad you give up or present her with the fact of the situation that she can't argue with. not much for apologising, though. usually
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Is your wol / oc the argumentative type? Why or why not?
January 8, 2026 at 5:25 PM
#loresmaiden ; like.... 5/10 ?? lmfao

speechwise she's VERY polite. doesn't use contractions, only addresses by full name, speaks slowly and clearly

however. she is so honest that it can be impolite. she'll wander off in the middle of your sentence. she often just Doesn't listen,
#WoLQotD

On a scale of 1-10, how polite is your OC?
January 6, 2026 at 1:23 PM
#loresmaiden ; really good. she has strong, sharp eyes and can spot things from really far away but. she's always so sleepy or not paying attention that it rarely comes in handy.

#gentlesword ; really bad! she's fully blind in one eye and partially sighted in the other. thank you light poisoning
#NewShiftNewQuestion | #wolqotd | #wolquestion

How good is your OCs eyesight?
Do they need glasses? Secretly wear contacts? How far can they see?
December 29, 2025 at 3:02 PM
#loresmaiden ; sumire has specific favourite tailors in each city from travelling but her favourite is a seamstress in the shroud who makes most of her dresses (i have been meaning to design her).

they're not allergic to buying from markets but they do prefer to pick their fabrics and patterns.
#NewShiftNewQuestion | #wolqotd | #wolquestion

Does your OC make their own outfits? Have a special tailor for them? Buy them in markets and hope they are to size? Or something else?
December 29, 2025 at 2:57 PM
#loresmaiden ; sumire is... nonbinary? maybe genderfluid? i kind of think the functional label doesn't matter, her relationship with gender is complicated and completely disjointed from reality anyway just like her relationship with personhood is.
I'm bored and thinking about how almost none of my OC's are cis, so here's a #ocqotd #wolqotd

What is your WOL/OC's gender? Is their identity and/or presentation an important part of their life? How does it affect their story, if it does?
December 21, 2025 at 1:09 PM
miririn is about 2'2, maybe a bit smaller. teeny little lala.

sumire is like.. just barely 5'1? shes just a min height middie ingame but imagine her with like an inch chopped off. plus her legs are thick and it makes her look a bit smaller than she is. :]

#gentlesword ; #loresmaiden
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

How tall is your wol / oc? (Approximate is fine!)
December 21, 2025 at 12:11 AM
#loresmaiden ;

sumire is aware there are times when they Should lie but they usually don't. truth and honesty regardless of consequence is usually their default and it's not really for a moral reason, it just rarely occurs to them to lie.

if they're lying they'll often just refuse to answer.
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Seven of Swords, a card of deception and betrayal.

How easy is it for your character to lie? Under what circumstances will they?
December 19, 2025 at 7:45 PM
#loresmaiden ;

permanent/lingering;

+ancient lethargy - 'a heavy gift.'
+divine silence - 'speech is hindered by presence of divinity.'

situational ;

+fervent - 'damage inflicted and taken is increased.'
+aether spike - 'vulnerable to all elements bar (whichever shes using in combat).'
Oh... I have a #WOLQOTD
just thinking about debuffs/buffs/statuses (and their database flavour text) and wondering-

Does your WoL/OC have any permanent or lingering status effects? If so, what are they?
December 18, 2025 at 9:34 PM
#gentlesword ; on mimi i use /fakesmile because it looks like a genuine sweet toothy smile on her LMFAO, also /dance because the wiggles are perfect.

#loresmaiden ;

/ponder or /straightface for sumi. not a lot of facial range.

/doze or /vexed ...
is there any emote that your wol/oc use that is unapologetically them?

#loresmaiden ;

in use? like a drug, kind of. like you've been in screaming agony for months, years, and suddenly you're pumped full of morphine or something. hot and cold at the same time, and then hot hot hot. a spike of adrenaline, teeth chattering with excitement, ears ringing.
#wolquestion #wolqotd
What does using or attempting to use magic feel like to your wol(oc)?
November 27, 2025 at 9:10 PM
#loresmaiden ;

definitely tactless. completely. honest to a fault, does NOT lie. they're aware of it and have.. sort of.. learned when to keep their mouth shut because it will get them in trouble, but for the most part they either don't realise what they're saying might be cruel or don't care.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Is your wol / oc ‘tactless’ or are they careful with their words? Is this something they are unaware of?
November 26, 2025 at 3:36 PM
okay yay ❤️

#loresmaiden ;

they both died a few years into the garlean occupation when sumire was like.. 10. but because the kami saw fit to suppress her so she wouldn't lose it with grief she never really got to mourn them, so there were a lot of repeats of that fresh agony until she decided to leave to -
Had a break during my work, so here’s my first #wolqotd

What’s the deal with your WoL’s parents? Are they alive? Dead? Supportive of their adventures? Or are there… daddy/mommy issues? (Dramatic gasp)
