So I had this cool idea to draw a tiny picture as an answer for each of the sylvari asks, which isn’t actually that cool when you realize that @sariannearies asked me like 20 things. Well, let’s do it anyway, I thought and started sketching! I drew the first six and realized I didn’t like how they looked, and then I sold my soul to FFXIV for several days, so I ended up just coloring this one sketch of Ewoqi because it didn’t look that bad and I never draw Ewoqi. Text answers under the cut! It’s long.
Ita 6) What’s their relationship with the Pale Tree? “MOOOOM I’M BACK!” is what everyone up in Omphalos Chamber heard moments before the Avatar of the Pale Tree quickly lied down on the ground pretending she’s still unconscious. The relationship itself is fine, mostly, there’s just a bit too much of Ita sometimes. 7) How do they react to Mordremoth when they first hear him? Excited, because hey, a new friend to speak to, and it’s right in my head! : D 14) What did they see in their Dream? A lot of shiny and colorful stuff. So much shiny. So many colors. They say Pale Tree breathed some weird asuran chemicals that day. 20) Their biggest secret? Ita has many secrets. How did he seemingly cross the entire Tyria in less than an hour? How does he know how to get around this newly discovered area? Why is there a rock in the Mists with an inscription “Ita was here”? Ita just smiles when you ask, and poofs away.
Ewoqi 2) Were they modeled after a specific plant? If not, what was your inspiration? *points to the picture at the top* Reed! 4) What kind of climate are they least comfortable in? Anywhere where there are a lot of people. 5) What’s their relationship with gender? Pretty normal I guess? He’s just going with whatever the older races came up with, without thinking about it too much.
Yiwoocha 7) How do they react to Mordremoth when they first hear him? Mostly nervous like everyone else, but later he gets a bit too obsessed with researching how mordrems are created and almost gets converted. 9) What are their opinions on Trahearne? Buddies! They were both in Orr researching the undead at the same time, so they probably had a lot of really nerdy undead talks together. 11) Random headcanon! Wooch likes to experiment on himself with shaping living things, so his body is full of holes that often change placement, size or shape. Sometimes he puts bones or other things in them as decorations or body modifications. Kinda like piercing, but without the piercing part.
Ibunduur 5) What’s their relationship with gender? You see, when Ibun was still human several hundred years ago, he was pretty proud about his masculinity. Then he blew his body up with magic and had to wait all that time for Wooch to find him as a wandering spirit and make him a new plant body. Except Wooch doesn’t really understand why things like masculinity are important, or what it even is. Or if you need something on your body to feel like that. So he left it out. And no matter how hard Ibun tries to explain how much he needs that, Wooch always ends up with a very confused “but why would you need that now?” 9) What are their opinions on Trahearne? They didn’t meet because Ibun got brought back after HoT happened, but if they did Ibun would be very pleased by the fact that someone is researching his clearly superior old Orrian culture to the point of being absolutely insufferable. For the same reason Priory avoids asking Ibun for help unless it’s absolutely necessary and there’s literally no other way to get to the information they need. 13) What does their love life look like, if they have one? Wooch is his bf, but it’s a very strange relationship because they’re both aro aces. Sometimes Ibun attempts to do something he heard that other people in relationship do, without actually understanding why, and Wooch being totally oblivious and possibly distracted by his undead chickens.
Kiwi 3) What kind of climate are they most comfortable in? Deep forest/jungle or anything with a lot of hiding spots. As long as it’s not too hot or too cold it’s fine, and with most cold places Kiwi has a lot of fluffy friends to stay warm. 4) What kind of climate are they least comfortable in? Deserts. Too hot, not enough hiding spots, lots of sand. Ew. 10) Would they take selfies? Kiwi would eat the camera. 19) Least favorite food? Wooch’s chickens. They already died, so that means it’s food, right? But why does it still move and tastes so gross???
Ochara 6) What’s their relationship with the Pale Tree? “It’s not a phase, mom” were probably one of their last words before leaving, to join his new best buddies in the Nightmare Court. 14) What did they see in their Dream? Lots of nightmare stuff. Stuff like being attacked by the fern dogs, other sylvari laughing at them, getting nauseous from flower scents and so on. It was pretty depressing to be honest and Ochara never understood why others put so much importance on their Dreams. 20) Their biggest secret? Ochara is a total tsundere for Ewoqi. When they don’t see each other for too long Ochara starts to get worried, but it’s not like they liked him, baka.
Teshul (my newest necromancer serving Joko, who I haven’t drawn yet) 6) What’s their relationship with the Pale Tree? Pretty normal at first, but after some proper reeducation/brainwashing by Joko’s people he barely remembers her. 8) During what cycle were they born? I… don’t remember actually. Probably dawn? Maybe dusk? He was really curious about discovering new places and meeting new people at first. 11) Random headcanon! He’s scared to be alone and defenseless, and always worried someone might attack him if that happens. 12) How old are they? Pretty old for a sylvari, he was born with one of the early waves I think? 14) What did they see in their Dream? Entire cities full of people who died but that didn’t stop them from being still alive and him being there with them. He left for Orr to study the undead and later somehow got to Elona by himself, years before the Pact got there. 20) Their biggest secret? Constant state of panic deep down there somewhere. Joko’s brainwashing does that to people. Teshul clings to Joko’s teachings to combat that and not think much about anything else, but honestly he needs professional help real bad :l
