The Arcana Fan Apprentice Asks!

5. What are some of your apprentice’s minor and major fears? What’s the best way to comfort them when afraid?

Naeva has a fear of being abandoned. Her family wasn’t very kind to her, so she deeply cherishes her chosen relationships. The best way to comfort her when it comes to that is to reassure her that you’re there and not going to leave forever.

9. What is your apprentice’s natural stress response (fight, flight, or freeze) and how does that influence their actions when confronted with a stressful situation? Do they recover from stress quickly or does it affect them for hours afterward?

Her natural instinct is to fight, though it does affect her for a long time afterwards.

7) Talk about your apprentices’ backstory. How did they endup with the shop? What’s their relationship (or lack thereof) with theirparents? Traumatic childhood maybe? 

The store was given to him by the palace as payment for his services! He makes enchanted weapons and other metal artifacts so they contacted him to work on Lucio’s arm.

His father died in battle when he was a child and soon after his mother committed suicide because of it, before that they were very doting with both their children. His big sister was taken away after that and he hasn’t seen her since.

14) A small hand-mirror has been sold to your apprentice.When they look into it, it shows their greatest fear come to life – conscious orsubconscious. What is it and how does your apprentice react?   

He sees his sister, dead. He reacts poorly, anger and sorrow mixing into rage, he throws the mirror against the wall and cries.

18) Do they like their living situation? Do they like livingin Vesuvia and by the sea? Do they like the cold more or do they like it warmer? 

He does! he was tossed around as a kid so he really likes having a place to call home, he really likes the sea breeze and the warm sun.

26) How does your apprentice sleep? Do they sleep with a tonof pillows and blankets or none? Do they toss and turn? Weird things they do intheir sleep? 

7) Talk about your apprentices’ backstory. How did they endup with the shop? What’s their relationship (or lack thereof) with theirparents? Traumatic childhood maybe? 

She inherited the shop from an old witch she and her mom worked for! The old lady didn’t have any family left and she’d grown attached to them so she gifted it to them.

Evelyn’s relationship with her dad is nonexistant as of now, they cut contact when she was young and left the country with her mom and she hasn’t heard of him since.

She traveled with her mom and learnt practically everything she knows from her but sadly she passed away not too long ago from the plague.

10) What does their living space look like? Is the shopmessy or clean? 

GREEN! so much green, it’s covered in plants from floor to ceiling. She doesn’t have a bed, she sleeps on a futon on the floor with dozens of pillows that she uses as a nest and surrounded by drapes falling from the ceiling.

There is a huge window with a section of stained glass on the very top that lets in the most beautiful light in the mornings.

She has a dresser with a mirror in one corner of the room where she keeps her clothes and some emergency spell ingredients just in case.

23) Describe you apprentices’ humor. 

Bold and ridiculous but well natured.

24) Outside of magic-related workings, does your apprenticehave any hobbies? Do others know about this hobby or do they keep it a secret? 

She adores plants, taking care of them, singing to them, looking at them.

1. What is their full name? What does it mean? Do they go by any nicknames/aliases?

Right now I’m calling her Nala. This means princess I think. I feel like I’m going to change this and make better. I guess that’s the best I can answer, sorry.

5. What animal best represents them?

I think the best would be a dik-dik maybe. She’s survived through many things and undesirable conditions. She also feels small and meek to others. Nala does the best she can where she’s at and overcomes.

20. What are their principal goals?
