-flops in- So there's the Samara/Horus roleplay we're gonna start up here in a bit, then there's the Jaden/Leto life-changing event roleplay, if you were still interested in doing that. If you'd rather just do it a solo that's fine!
Here's me sneaking around trying to steal more of your babbins. Because I can't seem to leave that family untouched (apparently there's always at least one Nasaiki family I must hoard no matter where we go), I'm starin' at Arinas XD I was thinking of offering maybe
Alyssum or
Quartz. Both are quiet types, though their quiet is more the observational/polite kind than the shy kind, but they do get the occasional bout of shyness.
Quartz plans to be an artist. She's not sure what type yet, though her main medium is paints and pencils. Usually her style is realistic, but she experiments with combining styles. She might just do commissions. She's kind and loyal, more about supporting than guiding. She loves instrumental music and collects rocks. She's quite physically active and takes long walks just about every day. She's not a chatterbox, but she does enjoy conversation. As a potential meeting point, Quartz's little sister takes baking classes. It's usually an end-of-the-day class, and she's often there to pick her sister up. They could just get used to seeing each other in passing and one day strike up a conversation. Quartz would find him striking in a artistic sense, with his various purples and how his skin tone stands out against it.
Alyssum isn't sure what she wants to do yet. A few possibilities that have crossed my mind are psychologist or salamander breeding, but she's still very open to various other possibilities and will likely require an outside push or a lot of introspection to make her choice. She spends a great deal of her time observing and prefers to be on the sidelines. She was almost mute as a freshling, and while she's opened up a bit and talks more now she's still usually a person of few words and is quite soft-spoken in general. She has a great deal of patience and an open mind. She's usually reading, people-watching, or caring for her potted plants and salamanders. As a potential meeting point, Alyssum loves spicy food. Maybe one day in cooking class they make their own salsa or hot sauce, then go around trying what everyone else made. Since they probably made their food to their personal tastes it might be too hot for the others in the class, but they both greatly enjoy what the other made. Kinda the opposite of Jaden in a way, since Jaden comes to Arinas for baking advice; Alyssum would come to Arinas with various spicy things XD
If neither really resonates with your muse as romantic interests but you do like one or both as potential friends I'm up for that! All my juniors need growth roleplays, so anything we can work on puts them further along!
