-[What am I called?]- Liasi -[What will I be?]- Civilian -[Who am I?]- Liasi isn't the sort of person one would want to run up and hug. If she isn't ignoring those surrounding her, they might be wishing she was. She has a bad habit of pointing people's flaws and weaknesses out to them, and if anyone ever criticizes her he either takes it with a silent shrug or seems to ignore them. Most of this socially unacceptable behavior is her way of entertaining herself, and seeing what kind of person someone is.
She seems to have no tact; she has no concept of keeping his opinions and ideas to herself, if she feels like sharing them. Liasi has built an impenetrable wall around herself and her feelings - reinforced with an unfriendly demeanor.
There is a startling difference between Liasi's neat appearance and her home. Though her space is not cluttered with personal items, there always seems to be something on the floor. Scraps of cloth, old sketches, patterns that were planned and left unused. Liasi seems to feel that the mess helps her achieve her end goal in projects. She won't thank anyone for cleaning it--she wants it that way, thank you very much. She knows exactly where everything is. Liasi, despite her unfriendly demeanor, seems to be indifferent to most people. If there is genuine dislike, she will make it known through critical silence. She will take the time to argue with those she is indifferent to--or respects; those she does not, she will pointedly ignore. An example of this is when she spends time with her friends. Though she seems to resent some of them often enough, a more observant person would notice how she becomes more animated when she banters with her companions. Despite this tendency for affectionate bickering, this girl also tends to be protective of her friends. Not so much that it shows itself physically; but certainly to a point where she will defend them verbally. Though she appears to distance herself from most, the friends she does have, she values them above all else. Or at least, most things.
-[Where have I come from?]- Liasi was born to parents who catered to her every whim as soon as she was old enough to talk, something they regretted later. She became spoiled, and didn't care much for the company of others until later in her childhood.
-[What will I do]- I plan to discover more about the world before deciding anything for sure, but I would like her to be creative; maybe specializing in some craft. I like to write out characters before deciding anything that may challenge their beliefs or change how they see the world; but I would like to have her face hardships in the future. I want her to become increasingly curious of others.

Prompt FS Username: dovelybird Which child: Dovaa girl Which prompt: Prompt 1. Character's Name: Jessamine. Prompt Response: She's sitting back against her bedroom wall in their quiet little hut just a few miles outside of Astral City, staring at the floor, wondering if she focuses hard enough that it might burn up and let her drop through it.
"Jessa, are you listening?"
She doesn't even flinch at the words. She knows her father is stooped in front of her on one knee, can see the roughness of his pants, the rough brown scales over the back of his hand where it rests on his thigh, but she watches the hardwood floor all the harder instead.
"I don't understand why you're not listening."
Oh, she's listening to a great deal. She's listening to the crackling fire in the main room just beyond her door. She's listening to the thudding of her heart in her ears. And she's definitely listening to the exhaustion in his voice.
"Jessa, please...we need this."
She wonders if the blood pumping so thick through her veins has anything to do with the fact that the ground looks a little hazy or if it has to do with her empty stomach instead.
"Your mother...she wouldn't want you to throw it away, and I just..."
She snaps her eyes shut on the second word of that sentence, catches her breath and holds it just to keep that little semblance of control. Her fingernails dig into her pantsleg.
"...listen. I can't take care of you anymore. All right? I don't have...I...this is your best opportunity to grow up, learn a trade, be happy."
There are dull images flitting past her mind's eye - a slowly growing shop's life cut short when her mother took ill, everything shut down and all funds focused on her, nothing changing, the last money spent on a funeral - and each one punctuates the black spots growing behind her eyelids, the steady pounding of her heart getting louder and louder-
"Jessa."
She gasps in a breath when her father grabs her hand and opens her tear-filled eyes, staring up at his face. He's wrecked. Absolutely destroyed. And she wants to say something to comfort him, but she can't, she just can't...
"I would do anything for you. Do you understand that?"
The exhaustion is fading away from his tone, replaced with impatience, with fear, with desperation.
"Why can't you do this for me? You won't even talk to me anymore? You won't even..."
Tears start pouring down her cheeks when his voice cracks and he tilts his head down, reaching to rest his hands on her shoulders, both a comforting warmth and an oppressive tether. He finally sucks in a thick, wet breath and leans forward to press a kiss to her forehead before he stands and quietly walks out of her room.
Jessamine stares at the doorframe for a long few minutes. She listens. He's putting together the last bit of their food that they could afford, she thinks.
She doesn't doubt that he loves her. She doesn't doubt that he's accepted her mother's death, and she's completely sure that he never wishes that he could exchange Jessa in her place. But the fact that he wants her to leave, to go so far away, to...the thought alone is unimaginable enough for her to create it.
He's not wrong. She can't speak. She wants to, and sometimes she even tries, but her tongue doesn't cooperate, and it hasn't since her mother passed three months ago. How does he expect her to go start an entire new life when she can't even communicate with her instructors?
He'll starve if she stays. They both will. He's too proud to ask for help. He'll put her first and foremost every day while he himself wastes away.
She stands up, steadying herself with a shaky hand on the edge of her bed. She picks up the curled parchment resting on her pillow and smooths it out, reading it one more time. She takes a long and steady breath and hopes that her legs will carry her no matter how much she wants to run out into the plains and hide.
Her father doesn't even look at her until she tugs at his pants, but his eyes widen when she holds up the letter to him and silently nods.
He picks her up and crushes her to his chest, quietly weeping into her hair, and she reads the letter over his shoulder one last time as she clings to him.
"...we have reviewed your application and would like to congratulate you on acceptance into our academy on full scholarship! Here you will learn many fantastic skills before your apprenticeship opportunities arise..."
Please, Abronaxus...Jessamine shuts her eyes as tightly as she can and buries her face in her father's neck. ...help me find my words...

Prompt FS Username: Zempre Which child: Dovaa girl Which prompt: Prompt 2 Character's Name: Erindae Prompt Response:
The weight of the item was as almost unbearable as it rested heavily into the small pocket of her ebony pants, the image of it constantly playing within her mind's eye as she allowed a frown to come to her ruby tinted lips. A simple piece of parchment had been folded over and over until it was but a small square that now was nestled away to become the source of the younger girl's dilemma. Resting in her residence, she sat heavily in an oaken chair while her legs swung lazily back and forth, her chin being prompted up in the cupping of her hand. The note had been resting in her possession for a week, a simple love token from another apprentice who wished to capture her attention. The writing had been elegant with long and lazy loops, each letter created with delicate care as the midnight ink was easy to smudge when it was first place upon any type of parchment.
Sighing, the Dovaa girl would run nimble fingers through the infused locks of crimson and honey a heavy huff of air escaping her lungs and causing her bangs to flutter lightly out of the way. For a moment, Erindae thought back to the moment the shy and timid male came up to her as he shifted from foot to foot in a mixture of anticipation and nerves. Most would consider it endearing as he had nervously rubbed the back of his head, the folded note handed out as words eluded him in a shy manner. The minute she had taken it from him the boy had ran off in the same direction he had come to, perhaps to shy to learn her answer. This had been a week past and she had yet to still give him any type of answer. It was a simple question and one of innocent nature. Do you like me? Yes/No. Circle one.
The problem was, Erindae didn't know how to react to his question. So focused she was upon deciding on the path she would choose as her way of life that she had given little time for friends and even the concept of a potential romance. Slender digits moved now to quickly scrummage within the pocket of her ebony pants and after a moment she pulled out the tightly folded piece of paper. The telltale signs of the folding took wear upon the piece of parchment with its deep grooves and cracks, but the words were still there as clear as when they were first inked so many days before. Pursing her lips into a thin line, she reached for the feather quill that rested upon her table and after quickly dipping the point into the raven colored ink, she quickly made her choice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun had only been up a handful of hours when Erindae arrived at the Astral city, knowing that the young boy who had given her the piece of paper grasped tightly within her balled fist. Searching quickly with violet hues, she tried to find the young boy who had given her the letter, the young Dovaa standing on tiptoe to peer across the crowds that had started to pour into the capital. Erindae needed to find him and desperation caused her to weave in between the crowd of growing individuals as she tried to find the young boy...and then she did. Admittedly, she now realized that he was far more handsome since the arrival of the note, more so with his jaggedly cut chestnut strands and the way his features were sharp and defining. The female's eyes seemed to light up before she paused in her pursuit for a hesitant of a moment. He was..with another girl? She was undoubtedly cute with her long crimson curls and it was clear by the way she watched the Dovaa boy that she was infatuated with him, and perhaps the feeling was returned as he bought her a small trinket that made her squeal in utmost delight.
Erindae watched as she hugged him tightly, the two soon clasping hands as they moved to disappear once more into the crowd with one another. Had the parchment been a joke? She was young, yes, but she still wanted to try and find companionship and friendship. "...I don't need anyone anyway.." She murmured softly, turning upon her heel as the piece of parchment was thrown towards the ground. It slowly danced in a feather like decent before landing upon the ground only to be tramped a second later, the word 'Yes', soon lost to the dirt and dust of the road.
