#about severine

EMOTIONS/FEELINGS

Love (An ember ever glowing. Worth protecting. Don’t give it away.)

Possessiveness (Give everything away but that. Never that.)

Exaltation (Breathless, exhilarating, make this last.)

Regret (Was I sweet once?)

Disorientation (Didn’t we already go this way?)

COLORS

Blue (Muted and distinct and natural.)

Lilac (Something comforting like a fading bruise.)

Silver (Brushed and gleaming and catching light like a smile.)

Moss Green (Damp and earth and the smell of life.)

Red (Vibrant and livid but it doesn’t suit her so much anymore.)

SCENTS

Clove (Smoky and sweet, clinging to her hair like a secret.) 

Oranges (A burst of oil from a fresh curl of peel, juices sticky on the skin.)

Wet Earth (Moss and damp, the undersides of things.)

Soap (Clean and fresh.)

Ash. (Something was burning.)

OBJECTS

Sea Glass. (Smooth and pitted in every color. )

Pince-nez. (Reflective lenses never far away. Protection and defense.)

Ribbons and twine. (Decorative or practical. Things that bind.)

Forget-me-nots. (Left wild, blossoms stuck to skin and tangled in hair.)

A hidden blade. (Defense, protection, practicality. Please don’t make me use it.)

BODY LANGUAGE

Tongue curled around a pointed tooth (A shared secret, a remembered story.)

A gentle pinch on the arm. (Hello, I’m here, you’re here, I’m happy to see you.)

Forehead touch. (Tender greeting or friendly gentle concussion.)

Twitchy little smiles. (What exactly does that look mean?)

Fully Weighted Lean. (Against a convenient wall, unsuspecting friend or while sitting.)

AESTHETICS

Snakes. (Renewal, life, observing from a distance. Will only strike in defense.)

Low tide. (Her aether. Too little - far less than it has been in the past.)

Breeze through windchimes. (A ruffling presence that is rarely seen and never lingers, although it leaves an impression.)

Mercury Glass in the sun. (Clear and glittering but obscured and hiding secrets. Complicated.)

Mushrooms in a mossy forest. (Resiliently minding their own business. Friend or foe?)

primeval sentient abyss of ocean/space/creation

you are Mysterious... hide your thoughts... very generous and giving... and sleepy. you contain multitudes. you have more emotions than people realise. you are artistically gifted. sometimes you are unkind, sometimes you are kind, but more than anything, you're unpredictable, fluid, and vast in spirit.

BETTER WITH AGE; SEVERINE

Describe your muse at ages 20, 40, and 60!

20— Only recently rescued from a less-than-ideal situation and finally out of the Black Shroud, Severine still vacillates between teenage moodiness. Cheerful and energetic one moment, sulking and angry the next. She doesn’t throw herself into the Red Mage training of her mentor so much as she allows herself to be drug through with minimum resistance. From lack of options she clings to the ideals taught to her and forges strong friendships and bonds to replace those connections of family that she had only recently lost.

40— The two decades after setting out on her own were a rough series of highs and lows for Severine. (Are, she’s still in her 30s now). Throwing herself into her own little criminal empire, meeting the person who would become the axis on which her world spins, and figuring out just where she fits in the place she help creates are all things that occupy her walking hours. Given the opportunity to confront the loose ends of her past… she doesn’t. Instead choosing to drown in a supportive haze of alcohol and her own rigorous self-righteousness. Re-discovering her love for public performance helps her to begin finding her way back to accepting love and support. Though it’s hardly an easy journey.

60— Confronting her past allows her to move into her present and future. With old nightmares finally put to rest, Severine stops trying to hide the darkness that shaped her and rode heavy on her shoulders and finally accepts it as part of who she is. With bow and rapier hung up for good she stops fighting other people’s battles and instead focuses on creation and storytelling. She works to help others cope with their trauma, and puts their fears to song in the hopes that singing into the darkness will help them - and her - sleep a little better at night.
