handwriting can tell you a lot about a person. go HERE and reblog with your character’s name in their handwriting!

Larkin’s handwriting has improved over the years after only being taught how to write at nine years old. It has especially improved since taking the Oath, as she has to sign her name far more often - So perhaps her signature is not the most fair representation of her handwriting. Alas, she’s proud of her L’s. 

“...are you done with work now?”

“...”

“...how about now?” 

Lark smiled as she wandered the streets of Ul’dah, her head tilting happily as she halted the song she’d been lilting on guard. She lifted one hand and tossed it about, a bit of a skip to her step as she began to speak. 

“Well, there’s… Soren, my unlikely new friend from the Proving Grounds, though very good at listening and storytelling himself. And there’s Galtera, the friend that came with him, and then…”

Larkin perked up a bit, a big grin coming across her face. 

“The usual crew. Orrin, Styr, Tyo’li, Eigengrau, Ehn, Rapha-” She paused, her face furrowing for a moment. “Who I haven’t actually seen for awhile…” She continued on happily, her raven ears flicking. “Raan, Rose…” The Paladin’s face seemed to melt into a small yet contented smile, her feet happily hitting the ground below her as she trekked along. “They’re all marvelous people. Seeing them reminds me why I hold the shield. Why I defend.”

Slowly, her ears pinned back, a sheepish look crossing her features. She shook her head, rubbing her nose with her hand. “And as much as I hate to admit it… Kazuki Matsumae has to make this list as well.”
