i really do have to go to bed now so this is just a reminder to myself to talk about Sapphire & religion tomorrow
bc Sapphire doesnt really.. believe? in the Divines? like, she believes they exist, she just doesnt believe theyre worthy of worship. she doesnt go around badmouthing them & as far as she’s concerned Talos is definitely a god but … none of them saved her. she prayed and she prayed and she prayed and nobody answered. fourteen years old & she had to save herself, the Divines never did shit. so why should she do anything for them?
likewise, she isnt really into Daedra worship - but could probably be persuaded if a Daedric Prince actually spoke to her personally? more than anything she wants to be recognised, she wants an exchange. she wants to be seen as an equal
itd actually be really easy for a Daedric Prince to manipulate Sapphire, you just need to pretend like you respect her and then offer the power to crush all before her
Sapphire would do anything, make any deal, to ensure she’s never weak or vulnerable again. she doesnt know if she d be able to survive a second time
