day 12: weakness

Niko: fear of losing her friends, fear of heights (acrophobia); bad at word puzzles (riddles, etc);

Al: fear of failure (atychiphobia); bad at picking up patterns; has minor colour blindness; no depth perception (missing an eye); near constant neck n back pain; fear of spiders (arachnophobia);

Serena: fear of lightning/thunder (astraphobia); experiences panic attacks, especially under stress; bad at communicating her feelings (most likely to pull a siffrin(if u know u know));

day 29: swap

Ok so basically, Swap!Niko was not given to The Cult, and instead was raised by the person who carved her. That is the Event that started the au.

Swap!Niko(rightmost) was still inticipated to be the Puppet(from The Prophesy), but this time it was wrong. So the WoodCarver tried to prepare her for that, by teaching her how to survive in the wilderness, how to be diplomatic, and hand to hand combat. When the WC died, she ventured out on her own, taking the WCs cloak and woodcarving tools, and started living in the woods. She goes around, having adventures, then finds out Serena is the Puppet, not her. Now, at this point she's a paranoid mess due to unspecified trauma, plus shes been living in the woods for forever, so naturally she attacks the group. Her life was better, then became much worse, then became slightly better but still bad.

Anyway the cult was paniking, cause now they dont have a Puppet, so they get Swap!Serenas (leftmost) dad to sell her to the cult, so now Swap!Serena has a bunch of pressure to be perfect. Shes become numb to it by now, but shes still anxious trying new things and stuff like that. Gifted kid type struggles. Her life has become worse.

Swap!Al(middle left), instead of becoming a grieving, alcoholic mess post-war, with the advice of a cloaked stranger, becomes a bard, making songs to keep his friends memories alive. His life has substantially improved.

Sawp!Charms(middle right) life is pretty much the same, but due to a cloaked stranger mediating the meeting instead of one of the other kittyssasins, she is hired out to protect the Puppet, instead of being out to kill her. The bodygaurd uniform is different from the assasin uniform. Her life is the same.

Basically, everything is Nikos fault.
