🌟 …someone my muse trusts. - lisette collins

some backstory on lisette here - she started out as a character for a school project, a 19th century immigrant from england to canada for history class, and then she was… reincarnated? an ancestor? i don’t remember 12 y/o me’s logic. anyway, she ended up as a space captain with cool hair who was really gay for her second-in-command and buds with the mechanic. then she was a dr oc, and now she’s an indie oc w/ a dr verse!

anyway. the way the story went for 19th-century-immigrant-lisette is that she ended up going to canada completely alone. the first person she met was eve johnson, who got her a job and helped her find a place to stay. they became very good friends, and that’s something that’s stayed the same through both that ‘verse and lisette’s current indie one! basically: eve and lisette are best friends and care about each other a lot, and would probably trust each other with their lives - regardless of time period.

💔 …someone who broke my muse’s heart. - diana

diana is the melancholic ghost who haunts the house she died in - or, rather, the reconstruction of the house she died in. (currently, the bates family lives there, but that’s not important to this story.) her story isn’t a happy one. 

see, diana was born as the only heir to a reasonably wealthy family. there was a lot of pressure for her to marry, to continue the family line. and one day, a handsome young stranger came to town. diana was smitten. he was such a nice young man - respectable, well brought up, willing to work hard. it seemed like a perfect match, and so, plans were made for the two to marry. 

but strangely, the night after the wedding, a fire began in the family home, where the newlyweds were to spend the night before moving out. it raged through the house (most of it survived, though, being well-built and made of stone - the next owners repaired the damage.) and only the newest addition to the family survived. diana’s husband received the entire inheritance, sold what remained of the house... and was never seen again.

💕 …someone my muse loves. - beta & claudia

these two were my first oc ship so. let’s talk about them.

one’s a social butterfly and gardener who’s friends with everyone and has domesticated a variety of incredibly carnivorous plant! one’s an artificial intelligence in an android body who escaped from a mysterious scientific organization in the woods and is really into cute clothes! they date!

...that was meant as a joke but it’s not a bad description, honestly. claudia has lived in anders her whole life, like most of the teenagers who live in town, and she really is friends with just about everyone. she loves people - she loves being around them, she loves her friends, she thinks humanity is capable of incredible things - but she loves beta most. beta, on the other hand, found her way out of the facility she was developed in during an incident that she knows was very chaotic but doesn’t remember well otherwise. she's completely fascinated by, well.... everything. she loves learning, and is endlessly curious and inquisitive. she also thinks pretty clothes are really neat, because in a sparse technological facility, she never saw much of them. 

claudia’s the one who found her when she first showed up, and took her to local Weird Tech Expert tuesday, who beta stayed with for a while. still, she and claudia got along well, and spent a lot of time together. and then they fell in love. there was more to it than that i promise but this is long enough as is.

😒 …someone my muse hates. - marcelle devereaux

i can’t go into a lot of detail with this one (which may be a good thing, considering how long my answers for the rest have been so far) since it’s spoilers for a story i’m working on - but. there’s only one person marcelle really, really can’t stand. she’s usually fairly level-headed, and surprisingly forgiving. but there’s an exception. fittingly, that person happens to be the major antagonist of the story.

why does marcelle have so little sympathy for them? in the vaguest terms possible, both she and them had a responsibility to uphold, one that was actually incredibly important. both of them knew how important these responsibilities were - and the other person chose, deliberately, to not just neglect their responsibility but to sabotage it, causing harm to others and making it near impossible for marcelle to uphold her equally important responsibility. and, with that event shortly in the past, thus begins the story marcelle stars in.

🔥…someone my muse would die for. - ren tsutsumi

ok, yeah, not an indie oc (although i guess if antoinette has an indie verse ren probably should too, huh) but man i have a lot of feelings and ideas about rencosette i want to talk about. it hasn’t been suuuper developed yet but i do have Ideas of where it Could Go.

see, ren is a character who is impulsive and emotional - she throws herself into things pretty heavily. so when she finds herself falling for cosette, she’s reluctant at first, it’s something she’s not really familiar with, actual romantic feelings, but they’re strong emotions, and she likes cosette already, and ren is ruled by her emotions. i can see ren developing very strong feelings for her, and there being a very real devotion there -  possibly the same could be said for cosette. but tbh that’s for fish to say. but i could see it happening, man. 

💀 …someone my muse would kill for.  - roxanne de witt

there is exactly one person roxanne de witt would kill for: her employer, the same woman who made her what she is today. in fact, roxanne has killed for her, time and time again. she is known only as “madam” to everyone, it seems - not even roxanne knows her real name. she’s never asked.

roxanne is technically employed by madam, but she’s also the only person with whom her loyalties truly lie. roxanne sees everyone else as a means to an end, disposable, but she would never even think of betraying madam - even if she is fully aware that she herself is the deadliest thing in her employer’s arsenal.

👻 …someone my muse considers a best friend. - katsu mizushima
