9. What are your character’s relationships like with every member of their party? Bonus, if you want to write a short blurb on your character’s opinion of them.

Cerise:

Kobus: a cool guy who showed up and killed a dragon and is friends with her friends! she actually really likes Kobus! i was so prepared to hard commit to not liking him for no reason (ofc i had reasons triumph emoji) but he answered some of her questions and he's protecting and helping auberon, something cerise has realized she Can't do, so. she kinda trusts them! especially since he passed the "didn't know about rhest until it was too late to do anything" test! she'd like to talk to him more, but, you know!

Fásach: cerise has a LOT of respect for Fásach and he's definitely the "party" member she trusts most. she doesn't approve of all their choices, but also a lot of choices that are perhaps less beneficial in the long term are directly beneficial to her, so. she also thinks he's unnecessarily reckless with his own life, which frustrates her, but which she also understands on some level.

Auberon: i...man i don't even know anymore....they used to GET each other!!!!! and i think she doesn't know what to DO with what ve said in that last fight i think. she expected cami to be mad she expected auberon to be on her side :[ i think auberon ends up being in a similar category as elliot in her mind, as someone who is capable and she can trust on some levels but is also a liability and needs to be protected.

Camille: sigh. they were like sisters! cerise loves cami very much and thinks she's one of the most genuinely incredible people she's ever met and cami has saved her and all the people she loves in pretty much every way and that hasn't changed. however, cerise also thinks that she's frightfully naive and is going to get herself killed before this war ends and there's probably nothing cerise can do to save her. so.

Jess:

Ted: 20 ac solidarity.

Cadence: Jess immediately identified Cadence as the heart of the party and was correct! she's only been with this group for like 24 hours but she already trusts Cadence the most, and therefore she really...wants Cadence to like her! wants to be her bestie! wants the confidence and security that she seems to have!

Zhill: Jess had NO idea what to do with Zhill at first but is starting to understand it a bit better now. Jess and Zhill operate on very different wavelengths but they both have a similiar like...ferocity to them, which is :] and is something that Jess both respects about Zhill and is also cautious of. she gets the sense that if Zhill decided she was a threat, she'd be screwed. so she's very invested in that not happening.

Reese: Jess thinks Reese is cute and thinks it's funny how easy it is to make her blush. also she's absolutely so baffled by her. what do you MEAN it's fine if your magic goes away? what do you MEAN there's no use worrying about things we can't know? what do you MEAN "all the best for everyone else" why is that where your mind goes? she resonates with the not wanting to be killed and she'll help her get rid of the fire spirit i GUESS but like. hello?????

thanks mer :]

5. Which of your d&d characters has been the most like you?

elodie was definitely the most like me when i created her, and she probably still is the closest, but the longer i've played her the more she's developed as her own character and the further she's gotten from being Me. cerise is honestly way more similar to me than she SHOULD be considering the uh. everything about her. and then she's an npc and the similarities are easier to see bc it's a game in the real world but beck motw also deserves to be on this list

6. Which of your d&d characters has been the least like you?

there's oneshot characters who are the easy answer but in terms of real characters it's actually probably jess? her 20 cha and boldness and flirtatiousness is about as different from me as you can get. rowan is up here too, but especially lately rowan has been taking on more of this like..."fake it til you make it but we're all going to make it together" thing going on that's moved the needle more in the "similar to me" direction. and then honestly it's a bit soon to say but i think my crop bonus guy is gonna end up taking this one in the end, especially if i do it right

19. How did you discover D&D?

i LOVE this question i could answer it for every character a dozen times.

20. describe one of your favourite rp moments with this character

cerise:

the fight with cami and auberon :] like, it sucks and is upsetting. but MAN did i have fun. the question says describe, so, to set the scene for anyone who may be unfamiliar, cerise had decided to accept an offer of protection for herself and the 15 refugees under care that would get them out of the beseiged city the party was stuck in. two of her party members strongly disagreed with this, as the noble house protecting them is from a kingdom known for manipulative and dangerous games of power. some WORDS were exchanged when they learned of cerise's decision, and as fucked up as it was, it was just so delightful to see all three of these characters at their most Themselves and to get to work through cerise's thought process and watch her try to convince them and convince herself at the same time. also it's fun to be dramatic as hell. "your people will still die. if this is the noose you prefer, so be it" and "everyone dies. at least it won't be tomorrow" sure are two of the lines ever written in a roleplaying game,

jess:

wow mer we sure are in four games together...pleading emoji

Rowan: "What's Up Danger" by Black Caviar

i like high chances that i might lose, i like it all on the edge, just like you

this one's early on the playlist because this was for the young, reckless rowan desperate to prove herself. this is who she was when she met cress.

Arcis: "Hungover in the City of Dust" by Autoheart

we're hungover in the city of dust, let our minds run round in circles while we figure it out

tbh i'm not sure i still stand by this one. i Really like the song and the playlist needs something downbeat at that point in it and it's on here for reasons of like...not being who you used to be, feelings of isolation, etc, but it's also definitely a song about people who Stay while everyone Else leaves which arcis definitely isn't. so we'll see if i take it off she's still a new character <3

Jess: "Devils Point" by Wicked Shallows

what do you do when the devil offers you a drink? what do you say when it's cold outside and hard to think?

:D she sure is a warlock! the drink in question is magic <3

Sinead: "The Cave" by Mumford & Sons

i know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears

4. What is their relationship with their parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Did they know both parents?

okay so tee bee aych jess doesn't have a Super fleshed out backstory, however, i think both her parents died when she was really young :[ her aunt took care of her, though, and i think bad memories are watching her aunt fret over how they never had enough money or food even though there was all this opulence and wealth around them, and good memories include watching the twin sunset together, or her aunt telling her stories about her parents and about the day that jess was born

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?

yeah i don't think jess really knows what to do with children. she's not unfriendly or bad with them, she's got that 20 cha, but she just hasn't been around them much and doesn't really like being around them because it stresses her out. someone should be protecting and teaching these small people and she's not necessarily equipped to do either of those things. she'd be a very fun and cool aunt or much older sister or babysitter, though. probably teach kids to pick locks.

21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?

oh thank you :D gonna do my aasimar girlies jess (shadow sorc/hexblade) and charisma (creation bard) because these are good questions for them and i don't talk about them enough

jess:

21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?

yes she does have a temper :] she definitely snaps at people or alternatively just gets really cold and mean. however, she is decently patient, partly because she likes to just follow a situation to see where it goes which makes her pretty easygoing and partly bc she spends a lot of time around people and entities who are way more powerful than she is, so she's had to learn to hold her tongue a bit. now that she's a fourteenth level spellcaster, however,

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?

mmm! most afraid of being powerless/helpless/outsmarted. she's also a touch claustrophobic and pretty scared of drowning. when she's scared, she starts looking for the exit immediately, but also puts on a brave face and a big smile to try to cover for it.

31. Do they drink? What are they like drunk? What are they like hungover? How do they act when other people are drunk or hungover? Kind or teasing?

ABSOLUTELY. she's got 18 con so she can hold it REAL well, but i think she gets really affectionate and REALLY flirtatious and starts showing off and also would be the type to like, swing from the chandelier and break her arm. also is always the friend who's yelling at everyone to do more shots. she's a nightmare, honestly

49. What is their most valued object? Are they sentimental? Is there something they have to take everywhere with them?

she's practical over sentimental overall, but, well uh. most precious object is her hexblade sword, which is not, in fact, an object, which is the crux of the problem here,

charisma:

21. yes. and she's a good southern girl, which means when she gets mad she just gets sappily polite and bitchy as all hell, a thing that i am not very good at pulling off,

28. letting her family down :[ and partly out of that her reputation and image is Very important to her so she’s pretty terrified of being embarrassed or looking incompetent publically. she also is scared of "gross" things like bugs and oozes and i think she was scared of ember's lizard at first although she's mostly gotten over that. 

31. canonically yes! she absolutely tears it up on the dance floor when she drinks. she's very sterotypical drunk girl i think, she WILL tell you to break up with your shithead boyfriend and offer to call him for you if you need. she probably gets pretty weepy and "i just LOVE you guys" too

oh pleading emoji

61: what kind of flower would they choose to pick from a meadow?

jess finds a really perfect flower--symmetrical, the brightest possible colors, the biggest, one of those ones where you're like "man i almost shouldn't pick this, it's too perfect" and then she picks it. it's not the most perfect one in the meadow, though, she gets bored before she'd look long enough for that. the most perfect one she can find quickly.
