xxx❥ It was freezing cold outside, and IA was perfectly content with staying next to the warm fireplace. Playing in the snow was fun but tiring, and the golden-haired girl wasn't about to sacrifice her energy again. Besides, this hot chocolate was absolutely heavenly! She made a mental note to buy more of this stuff before the Christmas season ended and it was taken off the shelves. Briefly, she wondered where everyone else was (it was rather lonely sitting by herself), but IA figured that everyone must've wandered out for another snow fight.

xxx❥ Tianyi sighed happily, glad to be back in her sanctuary. It wasn't that she minded being around people, but that she was a tad bit too shy. Besides, being an empath...Tianyi had a tendency to confuse other people's emotions with her own. It wasn't always a good thing to tell what other people were feeling. Perhaps her friend IA would drop by. Tianyi always enjoyed being in the other girl's presence; IA was a dreamer and had such lovely feelings to pick up...If only Tianyi could be a bit less shy and more outgoing like her friend.

There were few who actually didn't mind the car ride. Tianyi happened to be one of them. Fortunately for her, she had brought along her laptop and was playing horror games again to pass the time. By the time everyone rushed out of the limo, Tianyi's confidence levels were plunging. In the car, she had no need to socialize. But now...with this vacation...she would be forced to talk to other people, or suffer from infinite boredom.

It really didn't help that all her idols were going to be here, especially some of the bigger names in the Vocaloid company.

Tianyi fidgeted nervously as everyone dispersed, some heading into hotel right away and others going for their luggage. She waited until the "crowd" cleared before hesitantly grabbing her own bag from the trunk. The Chinese girl could not find her blonde friend, but that was probably because IA had dashed off to find the ice cream man. There were always ice cream men at beaches. A few seconds later, she decided to take up IA's luggage for her as well.

Unlike most Vocaloids, who were simply happy to be here and ran in like wild monkeys, Tianyi followed tradition and headed to the front desk at the lobby. She remembered her room number, but she really did want to make sure. It would be so embarrassing if she accidentally ended up in someone else's room!

"U-Um...I'd like to confirm the number of the room reserved for me..."

A few minutes later, she was on the fourth floor, staring at the door to her room. She opened it slightly, noting the comfortable furniture situated around the room and the rather artistic decor. Tianyi grinned, entering her room eagerly and dropping her luggage by the closet. Oh, this was absolutely grand! She loved it! Tianyi opened her bags and put her clothes away neatly, shelving things where they needed to go and placing her laptop on the table. Yes, this was wonderful.

She reached inside her pockets for her phone, noting that she had three new text messages from IA. The first one was a photo of the ocean, obviously taken in great hurry because it was rather blurry. The second was a shot of IA posing with the ice cream man. The third was a text asking Tianyi which flavor of ice cream she wanted. The black-haired girl smiled at her friend's enthusiasm.

subject re: ice cream flavor?


ehhh? any flavor is fine, really...but if they have mango or pineapple, I`d like one.
n-not that you have to buy one for me! ★// waves hands frantically ) I`m fine without
ice cream, really...
btw. I brought up your luggage and dropped it off in your room earlier. since your
room is next to mine anyways. where do you want to meet up?


She hit 'send' and then slid her phone back into her pocket. It would take a while before IA replied. Her friend had the tendency to get sidetracked very easily and often was late in replying to texts. Tianyi slipped out of her room, determined to take a look around before IA dragged her off to some unknown place. As she walked down the hallway, Tianyi wondered idly if Longya was here. Her cheeks turned pink as she thought of the male. Oh god, this was getting ridiculous. Tianyi wished she could be as unattached and level-headed as IA.

As she walked around, she noticed a familiar purple-haired girl with pigtails. Tianyi brightened, getting ready to walk up to the girl when her shyness came back. Oh dear, oh dear...how would she approach her? "Hi?" Too casual. "Hello?" Too formal... "Good afternoon." Now she would sound like a teacher...

"Um...Rion-san?" Okay, formal would do. "Would you like to get ice cream with me? You see, IA's currently chatting with the ice cream man and asked if I wanted any..." She fidgeted nervously, green eyes darting from the floor to the walls, but not meeting Tone's. Her heartbeat was accelerating, and if Tone didn't reply soon, Tianyi was probably going to faint from nervousness.

Eyeing the evil stack of paperwork warily, Claudius slowly reached for the sheet lying innocently on the top of the pile. 'And here we go, another stack of papers.' His right hand had started developing cramps a while ago, so he had switched to his left hand. And now...it was starting to ache as well. The blond sighed ruefully, wondering if one of his advisers would come in and finish the rest of the paperwork for him. It was a very unlikely occurrence, as the members of his court abhorred paperwork almost as much as he did. Perhaps he could just burn them all when no one was looking.

That could definitely work. No one needed to know that the king of Nervine was a closet pyromaniac.

Just as that happy thought wandered into his brain, someone came knocking on his office door. Claudius straightened up guiltily, orange eyes once again peeled to his work. He ran a hand through his messy golden locks, wondering if they too would start drooping by the time he actually finished his work. Oh, that would be a sorry sight indeed. Claudius sincerely hoped it wasn't Liam again at the door. The boy hadn't been gone long enough to fetch that glass of water. Conclusion: he would be back with more paperwork.

His fears were dispelled when a familiar gentle voice asked for permission to come in. A bright smile immediately replaced the scowl he had been sporting all day. Yes! A distraction, and from his dear sister! "Come on in," he replied, setting aside the paperwork with too much glee. "You're always welcome here. Especially after Liam brings a new stack of papers for me to look over."

◇ ◆ MAYUKO TAJIHI ◆◇

Nicknames: yuko, yuu

Series → saki: achiga hen

Age → seventeen

Gender → female

Height → five feet and three inches

Sexuality → heterosexual

Role → student

Year → first

Normal dorm # → A3

Co-ed dorm # → B5

Clubs → school newspaper (photographer), mahjong club (captain)

Powers/Abilities → Mayuko has a strong association with dragons - her mahjong abilities center around dragons, and it seems that she can summon dragons as well. Other than conversing with them and perhaps going for a ride in the sky, Mayuko cannot do much with dragons. However, the dragon is her lucky symbol, and all things associated with dragons tends to end up associating with her as well.

Personality → Despite her childlike appearance, Mayuko remains an apathetic individual. Her mild attitude is not to be mistaken for meekness; Mayuko can be quite vicious when she faces off against others and ruthlessly crushes her opponents. She is also highly ambitious and prefers to be on the offensive rather than defend. But while she may seem like a terrifying monster at times, Mayuko also knows her own limits. If her enemy clearly surpasses her in skill, she will draw back. Her tendency to save her own hide and run off when difficult situations arise allows for others to call her a coward, but Mayuko remains undeterred.

History → Mayuko was born into an old and influential Japanese aristocratic family. Despite the Tajihi family's lineage, their wealth was declining. As such, Mayuko was raised in the main estate (one of the few houses left) in West Tokyo. Her grandparents were very traditional, but her parents often viewed things in a more modern sense. Their clashing views often resulted in spectacular falling outs, and thus Mayuko was bounced back and forth between the two worlds. It was actually her grandfather that first got her interested in mahjong. As the young girl played more and more games, it soon became obvious that she had inherited a talent.

Her grandfather often told Mayuko that she was blessed by the tiles. She took advantage of her skills and entered her high school's mahjong club, effectively bringing the mahjong club to the regionals before they were defeated by Shiraitodai's team. Despite her failure in the team tournaments, Mayuko did well in the individual tournaments and made it to the top three. She was defeated again in the semi-finals in Tokyo. She was bested by Miyanaga Teru on both accounts, and swore revenge against Miyanaga. Unfortunately for her, the team was shot down once again in the regionals (bested by Shiraitodai again).

She was unable to get her revenge on Miyanaga - they had moved the champion to vanguard position, and Mayuko faced off against Awai Oohoshi instead. She was soundly defeated, and that event actually managed to traumatize the poor girl. Mayuko probably would've given up on mahjong by that point, but then she received a letter of invitation. The letter pushed all other thoughts out of her mind, and she turned her attention to this "school" instead. After discussing it with both her parents and grandparents, they agreed that it would be better for her. That way, she wouldn't be reminded of her failure every time she went to school.

Anything else? →
- The Tahiji family's insignia is of three intertwined dragons.
- Mayuko has expressed interest in art and music, but she's not very good at both.
- She has the basics of watercolor and oil painting down. She often doodles and sketches in her notebooks.
- Mayuko used to have violin lessons, but it's been five months since she last practiced. She knows a little bit of piano.
- It's not uncommon for a small dragon (oriental type) to accompany her.
- She likes coffee. Sweet coffee. That means she dumps a lot of sugar and milk in her coffee.
- Unlike the anime, her eyes here are blue instead of brown.
- If anyone knows Saki, I'd love it if they could play Miyanaga Teru - Mayuko's still upset about her defeat.
- She's a relatively normal girl. Or, she tries to be. However, Mayuko's gotten into a habit of wearing a monocle (inspired by Usuzawa Sae).
- Mayuko tends to be a bit sensitive about mahjong. She'll immediately get defensive if someone makes a comment on her skill.
- She hates being called Mayu; it sounds too much like a girly-girlie popular name to her.
- She loves languages and soaks them up like a sponge; English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish are a few that she has already learned.

ghost x human
butler x aristocrat


Many rumors surrounded the abandoned mansion in the woods. None of the former owners that lasted longer than two months. Anyone who came into the house came back out shuddering and whispering about things. Terrible and nonsensical things. As such, very few people became bold enough to try and buy the mansion - even then, they too left a month later vowing to never return. The price of the mansion plummeted to a ridiculously low point, but everyone was wary. For five years, the mansion remained forgotten in the forest.

Suddenly, a buyer showed up. He was a poor artist, needing time to mourn the death of his children and grandchildren. The house in the woods was a perfect escape. He bought the house, to the astonishment of the townspeople. People pointed and whispered, "That poor fellow. He has no idea what he's gotten himself into." Despite all the whispering and anticipation, the man seemed perfectly content in the mansion. He lasted for seven years. One day, as the man was visiting the town, he died of an heart attack.

After his death, people became interested in the mansion again. This old man had survived, after all - perhaps all those things that "happened" were really rumors. It didn't take long before they became discouraged again. No one wanted anything to do with the haunted mansion, and it was left alone once more. And now, we come to the present.

A young gentlemen, looking for a home and a break from the unpleasantness of society, has moved recently to the area. He found a job teaching music, but he could not find a place to live. It was then that he heard of the mansion forgotten in the woods. Driving up there with the real estate agent, he fell in love with the old-fashioned home and purchased it. He could not understand why everyone else gave him a pitying look when he announced he was moving into the mansion, but he was determined not to think too much of it.

He really wasn't prepared for the surprise he found waiting in the mansion...



summary: A lonely gentleman moves into the mansion in the woods, ignoring the townspeople's claims that the mansion was "haunted." However, he soon comes to realize that they are indeed correct. After one day of moving in, he comes face to face with the other two residents of the house: a ghostly young lady and her dead butler. The two spirits are responsible for scaring away all the former residents. Despite his initial alarm, he comes to befriend the two spirits and spend time with them. He learns that the spirit of the girl is unable to come to terms with her own death, and she is searching for the three aristocrats responsible for her death. He agrees to help her find them - although he is not too keen on her idea of revenge, he does recognize her need to let go of lingering resentments. However, things take a huge twist when his fiancee comes knocking on the door and the ghost reacts harshly to her.

role-play ideas
(plot bunnies eating meh brain...hurr hurr hurr...)

- mental asylum? (alice in wonderland theme - children traumatized by serial killer of sorts?)

children went exploring; ended up too deep in forest
found by a strange man (main antagonist)
forced to go through a combo of Alice in Wonderland and games
had to kill each other or kill animals
died by various things, some survived and checked into asylum
main character is leading normal life, has forgotten
one day he gets job at asylum
the others begin to haunt him and he starts remembering
a twisted and dark romance?

- romeo and cinderella (modern version + twist? - high school or young adult setting?)

romeo and juliet`s families are long time friends; romeo has interest in juliet, but she hates him - arranged marriage between family
cinderella is a poor girl from a rich family and has piqued charming`s interest
the two had been in the same elementary, middle, high school, and college
part of completely different social circles
the four all work at the same company - romeo`s secretary is cinderella; charming`s father owns the company; juliet`s father is merging companies with them?
the four of them meet and it all starts

- dream high/tari tari base (group of 5-6 kids with musical talents and how they all get together as a group)
- after life

when certain people die under special circumstances, they go to [ CLoCKHoUSE ]
big ol' house/factory-like place where people live and work - full of
clocks, gears, metal, etc. (will be expanded on)

each person has a pocketwatch - tells you how much time you have
left in [ CLoCKHoUSE ] ; some watches are preset ahead of time, others
start at twelve o'clock - once it reaches twelve o'clock (again?), you'll disappear
from [ CLoCKHoUSE ] - each person's "time" is different (time left is super
personal) ; depending on actions and words of person, the clock hand will move
forward or stay still (no constant ticking - a whole hour could move forward
with a single act, or just a few seconds)

no one reveals real name (syllables are taken from your original name and
given to you as a result) - think of Spirited Away

no one can leave the [ CLoCKHoUSE ] before their "appointment day"

head of the house called the "Watchmaker"

sectors of [ CLoCKHoUSE ] each with different work; three main sectors
"Garden of Eden" - the glass house with plants and forest, etc. inside
"The Ole' Factory" - the workhouse, where the clocks are manufactured
"The House" - the living quarters, domestic work is done here

- smiling (a group of online singers that have collaborated together many times finally meet for a big project?)

group or one on one?
mixer
illustrator
composer
lyrics
vocals
guitarist

Alice nibbled on a tart, her eyes far and distant. She had gotten into an argument with Edith, again. Her relationship with her younger sister was spiraling downwards, out of control, and there was nothing Alice could do to mend it. Her little sister had grown into a spiteful and temperamental child, but Alice's father said that Edith was just going through a phase. Alice hoped that was the case - she didn't Edith to stay angry at her forever.

"Everything's become so complicated, Christina," the brunette murmured to her friend. Sometimes she wished she was still a child, growing up in the comfort of her mother and sister's care. "Sometimes I wish...I could run away from all this." And what a grand adventure that would be! Without society to chain her down, Alice would have a number of opportunities. It was too bad that society in general didn't believe women could ever amount to something other than a pretty wife.

Yes, that was a pleasing thought. "Wouldn't that be wonderful?" she sighed dreamily, teal eyes glancing up at the clear blue sky. "A wonderful wonder world."

sixteen

✗¦. PERSONALITY 」
Kriemhild never pretends to be playful or carefree - she allows herself to be so. It is easier to get caught in the moment than being angsty and angry at the world all the time. As the daughter from a prestigious family, Kriemhild knows well the ugliness of human nature - power play, manipulation, and destroying people's lives are things she learned from living under the same roof as her father. Her cynical and wary nature is carefully wrapped up behind her cheerfulness (which really isn't a facade).

As typical of any girl from a wealthy family, Kriemhild comes with the usual package of carelessness and arrogance.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." And this was true of her as well. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Kriemhild does not truly grasp the idea of making mistakes and admitting her mistake. If anything ever happened...well, there was Father with his money, wasn't there?

Make no mistake - Kriemhild does not have a rose-tinted vision of the world, but there are certain hardships of life that she cannot understand. She sees it, she feels it, but Kriemhild cannot connect.

✗¦. BIOGRAPHY 」
Kriemhild grew up a spoiled and pampered child. There was no denying that. And like any other child with parents super rich and super busy, she found herself alone at home with lots of time on her hands. But as a child, Kriemhild was reasonably polite and well-mannered, if not a bit haughty and overconfident.

Of course, she was doted upon whenever her father did have time for her. Those were rare occasions, but these early experiences in her life cemented Kriemhild's love for her dear papa. Her mother was a bit of a cold woman, always running off with one man or another. She didn't understand why her parents were comfortable with the situation, but Kriemhild never questioned it.

An eye-opening experience occurred when she was eight. It was just for a moment - but in the large city crowd, she had lost her grasp on her caretaker's hand. Little Kriemhild wandered about frantically, looking for a familiar face. And quite unintentionally, she wandered to the edge of the slums. It was a terrifying twenty minutes for her as she wandered from street to street, ready to cry from the predatory stares all around.

Kriemhild was saved by one of her father's business associates.

That had not been a pleasant experience either, as she had been a bargaining chip in the older man's hands. One phone call to her father later, and the issue had been resolved. But...her father had been furious. It scared her. Suddenly, the world wasn't as golden as she thought it was.

And it was then that she realized that she had to be careful. Extremely careful. If Kriemhild didn't watch herself and did something wrong...her father would be affected as well. Life lost a bit of its merriness after that, but Kriemhild came to realize that ignorance was bliss - even if it was ignorance in pretense. It suited her much better anyways.

✗¦. OTHER 」
Kriemhild has a tendency to wear what one would dub as "cute" outfits - put together by hers truly. Lace, ruffles, puffy sleeves - you name it. Her pigtails only add to the childish image, and she also wears a teddy bear of some sort on her person every day.
She is also interested in traditional outfits.
Kriemhild prefers classical music, and her favorite piece is Mahler's First Symphony, Third Movement.
"Kriemhild" is derived from the Germanic elements grim "mask" and hild "battle".
She speaks a total of three languages: German, English, and Japanese.

coffee`s ♕ ████████████████ search thread
tab you choose the door, you choose the path



welcome to coffee`s search thread! coffee currently is only looking for one x one role-plays because of her cluttered schedule. so with that in mind, allow me to introduce myself.

my literacy level is at semi-lit+ - in fact, I don`t care how much you write as long as it`s not a one-liner and you have decent grammar and spelling. I tend to reciprocate the length I`m given to work with, so if you want me to write more, I can.

I can play both females and males, and I actually prefer to double on characters. I`m all for extra characters, as long as they stay at a manageable amount. I am willing to do f/m and m/m, but I`m not quite comfortable with writing f/f just yet. again, apologies. I do not like Mary Sues. at all.

I prefer role-playing in forums. you can try to convince me to use some other medium, but that's going to be pretty heavy convincing. I don`t have particular specifications for coding. all I ask is that you include a graphic and not to stretch the page. pretty coding is great, but not required. I work with anime images, and I request you do the same. you can try to convince me otherwise though.

I know we all have busy schedules in real life, so I ask that you try to post twice a week, and I too will try to adhere to that. if you have important events or testing going on, that's fine. just drop me a PM and it`s all good.

plan with me! I love when I can collaborate with another person and mesh our ideas together.

so more about me. I don`t mind doing canon characters, but I`m a little iffy on that because I have this irrational fear I`ll severely butcher their personalities. but just clear it with me, and I`ll try my best.

PRE-PLANNED
so these are ideas that I already have hashed out. of course, feel free to request changes and we can figure something out. there are preferences, but they're not required. most of these require doubling, but if you want to do f/m and can't play male characters, I'm willing to go the extra mile and play both male roles. and yes, I've given you a basic introduction to each plot. if you are interested, PM me and I'll hand you the rest of the details that I've thought of.



• the show must go on
preferences: f/m and m/m, side characters


Loosely based on the musical, Curtains.
"Robbin' Hood," the company's current production has received a terrible review from famous critic [ A ]. Instead of being upset, the majority of the actors are overjoyed and throw a celebration. In the middle of their party, one of the leading stars collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, the director decides to keep running the show and appoints [ B ], the former lyricist, as the replacement. [ C ], playing the other leading role, seems pleased to be working with [ B ] again, as they did have a short affair in the past. [ D ], the composer and the other half of the songwriting is not so pleased. [ B ] and [ D ] had been former lovers (and songwriting team), but had separated after a falling out. Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise as it is revealed that the collapsed lead had been murdered...possibly by one of the company.


• fourteen days
preferences: f/m and m/m


Loosely based on Kobato.
[ A ] is a lonely gentleman who moves into the mansion in the woods, ignoring the townspeople's claims that the mansion was "haunted." However, he soon comes to realize that they are indeed correct. After one day of moving in, he comes face to face with the other two residents of the house: [ B ], a not-quite-human butler and [ C ], a ghostly lady. The two are responsible for scaring away all the former residents. Despite his initial alarm, he comes to befriend his two housemates and spends time with them. He learns that [ C ] is unable to move on to the afterlife and does not know why. [ A ] agrees to form a contract with her and try to help her move on, but he's only got two weeks before time's up. To make matters worse, his friend [ D ] has become interested in his affairs is demanding to know what is going on...


• coffee shop nights
preferences: f/m, side characters


Welcome to ______, a popular coffee shop settled in a nice little corner of Paris. Many of the students at the local university frequent this coffee shop, but occasionally some illustrious people come visiting as well. [ A ] is a newly hired detective, but he's already built a reputation for being able to crack the hardest cases. Due to the nature of his work, [ A ] finds himself at the coffee shop almost every night. [ B ] is an old-time worker at the coffee shop, and she forms a fast friendship with [ A ], one of the shop's few customers after midnight. Everything seems fine, until a sudden murder leaves everyone on the force, including [ A ] absolutely baffled. He brings this case to [ B ], but instead of helping him she backs off. [ C ], the owner of the coffee shop, approaches [ A ] and offers to lend him some help. The next day, to his surprise, [ B ] shows up and agrees to help him with this investigation. They leave for the house of [ D ], who is to be the next victim of the murderer. Unknown to [ A ], [ B ] and [ C ] are both hiding a secret about this case...


• more ideas...when I think of them



CRAVING
• wonderland
tab any pairing
• fantasy
tab wizard x apprentice
tab wizard/witch x familiar/demon
tab summoner x yokai
tab yokai x yokai
• medieval
tab any pairing

OTHER
I mainly work with medieval, fantasy, futuristic, and the occasional slice of life. if there is some other genre you prefer, you can try to convince me if you've got a plot figured out. otherwise, I'm not too into modern-day-non-magic plots. at least, not at this moment. fandom wise, I try to be flexible. if I don't know the fandom you are talking about, I'm willing to go check it out and see if it's in my range of interests.

"Your highness, the preparations for the welcoming celebration are finished."

Cato looked up from his paperwork, bright blue eyes scrutinizing the nervous servant. He twirled the tip of his quill between two fingertips, amused by the sight of the groveling man. Was he that terrifying? Dipping the quill in his inkwell, Cato idly wondered what the princess from the wintery kingdom was like. His face twisted into an ugly grimace as he thought of their country's colder counterpart. Damn savages, all of them. Everything was all their fault...

His mind returned to the memory of the battlefield, his soldiers maimed or dead because of those infernal idiots from their rival country. Snap. The quill in his hand was no longer useful, bent at an awkward angle of approximately forty-five degrees. This marriage - there had to be something useful Cato could get out of it. Other than the "peace" they were all working towards.

A small whimper interrupted his train of thoughts. The servant was cowering, wondering what in the world had set off Cato's anger and fearing for his life. With a scowl, Cato waved him away dismissively. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get out!" Honestly, were there any competent servants left in the castle?

There was a light knock on his door, and Cato was schooling his features into one of irritation when he caught sight of his visitor. Immediately, a warm smile graced his lips and he set down the quill. The sight of his younger sister was a welcome change from the servants and nobles that had been visiting all day long. He held his arms wide open as she hurled herself forward, rubbing her cheek against his like a contented cat.

"I missed you, Cato," Jonquil mumbled unhappily, settling herself into a more comfortable position in her brother's lap. "I haven't seen you since the announcement of the marriage, and that was weeks ago."

Cato chuckled quietly as he patted her hair. The possessiveness was something handed down the Albright family (his father had been incredibly possessive of his mother), and it seemed both siblings had inherited the trait. Briefly, he wondered how Jonquil would react to his soon-to-be bride, but that really wasn't his problem.

"Have I been neglecting you?" he murmured softly into her hair, running his fingers through the golden locks that mirrored his own. In response, Jonquil tightened her grip around him. Cato found himself grinning - his sister really was adorable. If any b*****d dared to get close to her...well, the end results wouldn't be pretty. Cato wasn't just a pretty prince; he was an experienced soldier of war. "Well then, why don't we go and greet the princess together then?" His sister's eyes, a pretty soft blue, searched his own piercing electrical blue eyes for any signs of jesting. Cato was sincere.

Jonquil let go, tilting her head at him curiously. "I thought you wanted me to stay away from the princess...?" Well yes, if she was alone. People from that country could not be trusted.

Standing, Cato draped his coat over his shoulders, not bother to put his arms through the sleeves. "Are you saying you'd rather not spend time with me?" Jonquil shook her head frantically before following her brother out the door. He took her hand and she laced their fingers together, humming contentedly at the feeling of having her brother by her side again.

█ NICKNAMES ♛;xi sunny

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FEARS: Scheherazade suffers from agoraphobia - a situation in which she can find no escape from. This stems from a childhood trauma, involving the villagers and their deforestation of where she once lived.



█ THE BEGINNING OF THE END ♛;xi

Unlike most of her kind, Scheherazade prefers to walk amongst the villagers and teach them to live in harmony with nature. Although her home is in the forest, she has opened a flower shop in the village in hopes of learning more about the culture of the country. She doesn't mind the news about the arranged marriage - Scheherazade feels it is highly unlikely she will be selected. If she is selected, she hopes to use this as a chance to better understand the country she lives in.
