Hiiiii 👋. I’m doing pretty well! Right now, I’m mostly taking a break from drawing and focusing on my real-life work.

By the way, you won't believe it, but I’ve actually thought about a question like this before! I think despite Cinder’s bad attitude, she might even enjoy spending time with a child. Especially if it's a little girl.

Of course, there are exceptions—there always are... I think if the child were to intentionally break things, be rude, or completely lack self-control and try to hit her... Well... She would either handle their upbringing "Spartan-style," or she’d just hand that little monster right back to MC or another puppet. It doesn't matter who you are, you do NOT want to make Cinder angry.

Honestly? I sat and thought about this question for a very long time, phahaahah... A!

It's just that I don't quite understand what you mean by a "bad day." Are they angry? Are they sad? Or do they just look unwell? Overall, I don't really have a solid grasp on Messen's and Murix's personalities yet, which makes it hard for me to picture the scene => and how Cinder would react.

But let’s assume.

Most likely, they would have a neutral-positive relationship. I just don't see any reason why Cinder wouldn't like them))) (And if they were on neutral-negative terms... I think she would just walk away.) So...

She would try to start a conversation. From what I remember, they are generally quite calm characters, right? So there wouldn't be any hysterical outbursts — that would require a different scenario. It's just that... Cinder has a bit of a bitchy attitude, and if she dislikes something—and there’s a lot she can dislike—then... well, two puppets will be having a bad day instead of one.

If the conversation goes well, they go drink tea (or wine, depending on how bad the day actually is). If not... Well... well... we call a third puppet who has more patience than Cinder, because her own patience is very, very short...

I have this new KoM character called Scyra. Now, since some of her writings are pretty secretive. Do you think your KoM character is trustworthy enough to keep the secrets hidden?

Mmm... It’s quite an interesting choice to tell your secrets to a maid. Especially one like Cinder. )

I’d put it this way... It's at your own risk. Everything depends on how she decides to handle the information given to her. If she's told not to tell anyone, but she believes it’s something that needs to be said, she will say it.

However, if she agrees that a secret must remain hidden, she won’t let it slip. She might even help throw others off the scent, leading anyone who tries to find out the truth down a false trail.

Once, a translator rendered her name as 'Cinderella.' I found it so hilarious, considering she’s the last person who would ever play the role of a girl who just endures abuse. Pff, she’d sooner deck her stepmother than let herself be bullied like that. Or... she’d find every possible way to spite them, showing that she’s objectively better than those fools. Something like that.

Fun Fact (1) : Many of the maids and servants don't know how to read (or they’re very, very bad at it). Cinder, however, is literate and even knows several languages. Because of this, she loves reading novels out loud to the other maids. Her absolute favorites are The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Macbeth by William Shakespeare, and A Love Episode (Une Page d'amour) by Émile Zola.

Fun Fact (2) : Her favorite performances have always been musical plays. The way the puppets dance and sing together, all in unison like a dark fairy tale... It has always fascinated her, and she would completely lose herself in those performances.

Btw, it’s pretty funny to post this sketch. I actually drew it before Osric’s birthday. Pff, let’s just pretend they had no idea the cake was for him, and as soon as they found out, they gave it back!

I’ve been thinking it over, and I’ve realized that I probably won’t be able to pull off a full comic about Cinder… at least for now. So, I’m considering opening an Ask... What do you think? Would you guys be interested in that or not?

I'm not great at writing congratulations, yeah... and especially for characters pf, but, it would be cool if at least for his birthday, they let him out of his prison cell, and despite the executioner's grumbling, they actually celebrated his birthday properly.

(I don't know if I should tag all the fan characters that I drew on this simple little sketch... I think I shouldn't, or well, it is quite literally just a little doodle. ✍️)"

When I found out that Jestyn's favorite flower is the sunflower, I found it quite amusing. For me, sunflowers are associated with the end of summer, back when I stayed at my grandmother’s village...

No doubt, Jestyn is probably a total old-timer, but the flower really suits him. Sunflowers symbolize joy, loyalty, fanaticism, and arrogance... That’s just pure Jestyn, pff.

So... I’ve chosen a favorite flower for my Cinder too — the Hellebore.
