Maierwynn Mahariel

Overcoming a bit of an artist’s/writer’s block and finishing another college class, so please enjoy a little egg in this trying time. Looking at the results, Maierwynn definitely fits the combo of being both a lover and a fighter, with a little extra sugar, spice and everything nice in between. 

Rules: color all that applies to your OC and their vibes! Whichever section you get the most in is your OC’s archetype, although you can also add in whichever section you get second in to create a subclass of sorts! (Ex: the heroic maiden, the sagely monster, the outcast hero, etc!) Feel free to name it as you see fit, discuss your results, and add some vibe inspiration if you’d like!

The Hero 

Impulsive action, Bravery in the face of fear,  unwavering self-sacrifice, resilience, fighting for those who cannot, action before contemplation, revenge over absolution, my strength serves the virtuous, an oaken shield, the thrill of battle, glowing smile and freckled cheeks, glory and remembrance, arrogance, red blooded anger, a journey begins with one step, excitement over safety, rising after every fall, shooting from the hip, a knight in shining armor, a sapling which thrives despite the fierce wind, I will succeed or die trying. (x12)  

The Juvelescent

Blooming flowers, gentle sighs upon a lover’s chest, freshly gathered wildflowers, assumptions assumptions assumptions, twice bitten, bright eyes which so lovingly cut through you, isolation in a sea of admirers, long hair pulled back with a ribbon, soundless footsteps in the grass, naivety shifting towards corruption, my image is not my own and the distinction it lends is not mine either, the gold that stays, sneers and smiles, white cotton dresses in the rain, negations of culpability, a bird in a jeweled cage, a smile as a sword, flushed cheeks amid longing glances, a feast you must not partake in. (x10) 

The Guardian 

Solid rock withstanding ocean waves, sentinel, a vibrant sun through rain clouds, protecting the threshold of glory, boastful smiles and gentle laughs, reluctantly passing the torch, leading through example, past splendor: never again felt but often remembered, the darkest memory is what could have been, the shine of glory never fades, goodness is worth protecting at any cost, sacrifice begets greatness, stories to legends to myth, delivering the final blow, practice makes perfect, the tallest and oldest tree in the forest.  (x4) 

The Creator 

Giving until threadbare, abundance and growth, I made the stars for you, gifts upon meeting, feasting but never satiated, an artist’s eyes lend tender brushstrokes, I will mold you how I see fit, freshly sprouted herbs, idealism and perfectionism, big bright smiles, making for the sake of making, self immolation, never forgive and never forget, a bountiful garden, birds which scatter seeds, these hands heal and hurt in equal measure, ask and you shall receive, necessity is the mother of invention.  (x4)   

The Monster 

You must not gaze upon me, bizarre and unexpected, hidden for your own good, driven on by an unstoppable force, rage and fear, earthquakes, carcass under the hot sun, the weathered oak withstands, overworked muscles, fierceness of spirit, the blight that poisons, my inhibitions died with my innocence, screaming into the wind, otherness, a fall from great heights, I don’t even understand myself, power reveals all, the void stared back, existence is a perverse experience, blood runs hot, primal and feral joy.    (x7) 

The Outcast 

Always running, life is a series of fleeting joys, I wouldn’t recognize myself, a rushing river obscured by mist, a whispered name, mercurial and capricious, your shadow your sole companion, last bloom of the season, individuality above acceptance, a pallid complexion, isolation and silence, wanting looks, one cannot be lost when they belong nowhere, here and there, hiding between shadows, nonconformity lends insight and perspective, my heart is mine alone, running against the wind, to be irreplaceable one must be different, a gaze which stirs indescribable feelings. (x9) 

The Sage 

Some adult themes below… otherwise SFW.

Alistair gripped the blanket, the fabric scrunching softly between his fingers. Cursing himself silently. Such wicked thoughts! It was wrong of him to feel such stirrings deep down. She was his leader, his friend!

Yet… 

Trying this thing where I get back into my creative flow. I’ve been itching to draw my HoF again, used pictures of myself as a reference. Slowly adding the rest of her body over time.

→ What's one childhood memory they can't shake and how did it shape the way they see the world now?

Much of what occurred in Maierwynn's childhood that shaped both her and the world she sees are her less friendly, often brutal encounters with humans. Growing up, she learned very quickly, and harshly, that many humans were not keen on befriending elves, or even saw them as equals, and to ditch her naivety in thinking peace and rainbows and friendships with the all the shemlen folk could be had. Part of her still believes that humans and elves are capable of coming together, but that part is just buried, somewhere deep down beneath the layers of mistrust and anger and suspicion.

→ How do they handle failure?

Depending on the situation, she tends to shoulder failure well on the outside, through a shrug or a flippant remark. However, she's inwardly harsh on herself.

**BONUS**

→ Do they have a secret talent no one expects? Like, are they surprisingly great at card tricks? Can they play the piano at concert level but never talk about it? Bake the world's best banana bread?

I decided to break this up and answer as I go after the lovely @lady--lucrezia encouraged me to try this! It definitely prompts for deep diving into developing your character. Also hoping that answering these questions will help me overcome a little writer’s block. :’)

Question I:

↳ What weird habits or quirks make them totally them? Do they always talk with their hands? Hum when they’re nervous? Refuse to eat foods that touch?
