--into genshin, have my filthy yumeship 😭😭😭

trying to keep my artstyle consistent at the moment, very sad to see my style keeps changing and I want to stick to one 😭😭🥺

hi OP I am so sorry this took me days to answer HAHASHA I was wracking my brains on how to word anything 😭 I'll try to give some general relationship hcs of them!! -I like to think that they did not get into a relationship too fast, perhaps there was mutual feelings festering as their story went on although I believe Corbeau was a lot more open (between the two of them, at least) about his interest towards her. -Post-game? They definitely started seeing each other a lot more though. Whether it was Guinevere swinging by his office to pester him for fun, to "accidentally" leaving her parasol in his office just to swing by again and spend more time there; she'll just find excuses to come over and spend time with him. -On his end, I like the idea that he arranges cafe dates with her (under the guise of "hanging out") at any cafe really. If he's too busy, then he would try to make time and invite her for a drink at Cafe Gallant, since it's just walking distance for him. But oftentimes, he might also just show up to what cafe she's currently at. Nine times out of ten she just ends up getting spooked by the fact he wasn't there; and now he is 😭 -I also think that Corbeau pays attention to the little things, or things people usually don't note about others. Her coffee preferences, her sense of fashion/cosmetics, even down to the way her face subtly changes for a split second when she's bothered.

-Pet names? Probably not a possibility between them. Guinevere just doesn't use pet names period, and I headcanon Corbeau really only calls her "Guine(Gwen)". Occasionally though, Guinevere would call him, "mon cheri." -I do believe he shows his concern for Guinevere's well-being. Her blatant disregard for her own safety, the way she denies herself of bitter feelings such as anger, resentment, sadness, all an effort to not have people worry too much about her, ends up worrying the one person she cares about with her whole heart. It must frustrate him, the idea that he could never get her to open up about this; that even with his watchful eye over Lumiose, there are still things that slip by his gaze. Is it out of desire for control? Maybe a little bit, but I do like to think it's also just out of genuine concern. -Now, in her side of things, these feelings stem from the desire to be useful and needed. Rogue mega evolution problem? Don't worry, she'll handle it herself. Alpha pokemon going berserk in a wild zone? She'll be there to quell the problem. Even with her stubbornness, just a little bit of pushback from him and she'll talk immediately as she's not someone who enjoys arguments😭

-Ok enough with the depressing stuff it's time for more wholesomeness :))

Hi don't worry!! I'm not at all bothered HAHHA I get that a lot but her current design predates WuWa itself 😊😊I'm sorry if it's hard to understand my explanation a bit-- I need to brush up on my vocab because I'm not that good at English For her lore, she doesn't exactly have much irl inspo, but lore-wise I can't say much (since I would like to write/draw her lore instead, as I am very bad at explaining ;;) what I can say with the very little lore I can explain, she ran away from home as a child due to her home life. for design, she's based off female knights + siren combo (and a sea serpent, represented by milotic) and just very abyss-like. I wanted to pick an animal from the deep sea as an inspiration but ended up with mythological creature with involvement to the sea; and I've kept that inspiration during her genshin era too!! She was supposed to have a cage in her skirt but I went against it as to not make her design any more complex than it should be;

I gave her 3 aces that represent my inspirations :) Milotic (the beauty pokemon), Gardevoir (who I assumed always was based off knights due to their undying loyalty to trainers) and as for Jellicent, her relevance comes from her vibe, she's supposed to look "untrustworthy" by appearance, but that untrustworthiness only goes as far as her appearances. I didn't make her a poison specialist trainer for Pokemon because I prefer her to lean to Water a lot more, so I understand it becomes convoluted to explain; her jellyfish inspiration is outside of pokemon itself and is actually from Genshin, since in genshin her weapon was her umbrella, made to resemble a jellyfish, and the tip of it could be a sword on physical attack, and be a water whip upon activating her skill (which, the whip is the "stinger" of the jellyfish I know it doesnt make sense to put it on the head of the jellyfish but if I explain more of her horrid 2021 genshin idea I'd be here all day honestly) Personality wise, She's composed but to people she deems close friends, she's very playful. Although she dislikes losing and might lose her composure for a second when it happens but she knows better than to show bad sportsmanship and get mad at someone. She can be incredibly self-sacrificing but she's stubborn about it. She would never let herself be caught needing help from somebody else even when she's at the brink of fainting herself. I hope this little explanation of mine helped. I left out a lot of her original motifs like thorns and roses on her Pokemon design :( Though I kept her rose bouquet cuffs hehe. I have some old art of her too before I've stopped going into genshin fandom ;; so I'll just add it here! I hope I didn't come off as aggressive or mean here, I just really like to talk about her and her design because I've had her for years but I'm really bad at explaining it all :(
