omg!! paille!! thank you so much 🥺

1. What’s their voice like? (Voice claim and/or describe it)

Similar to Ankka (*links the most spoilery clip ever*), but a bit more high pitched. Less empty, and a bit more pragmatic/analytical. But still, very similar!

And as a disguised human, as ze only does it to deal with hir cult, ze speaks in a very... formal matter? Sublime? If that makes sense? Hir human voice is rather on the androgynous side and maybe a bit raspy too.

2. How do you pronounce their name? Does anyone pronounce it wrong?

I'm too french-pilled so I hear the proper pronounciation (sort of like "pie") but i also can't help but be cringe and go with something like "pah-ee-lleh" too sometimes lol. (i hope that makes sense? i'm not good at writing pronounciations...)

And as for hir human name, it's a common name for humans (or well. at least for one), so ze's doing fine~ It's just the standard english pronounciation.

3. What’s the silliest nickname they were given? Is it in-story or just how you call them?

Multiple people (both asura in hir past and current cultists) have called hir straw for no reason (as in there's no indication like haha ze has straw-like hair or something), it's just a meta joke. I really did name hir straw simply because I like the french word for it...

12. Do you have anything in common with them?

Meet Paille (ze/hir), an asura mesmer who leads a cult disguised as a human named Salma.

Seeing an opportunity in Joko's demise, ze exploited vulnerable people and started a cult promising the god-king's return. But in actuality, ze's just studying the nature of bookah human brainwash and manipulation. How far can ze go and bend the minds of humans? Well... only cruel ways to find out. Ritualistic sacrifices and starvation deaths are daily occurrings in hir cult.

l’été est devenu un petit tas de paille séché par son soleil ; le nid qu’il propose ne sert qu’à la brièveté d’un regard qui croit le prolonger
