@icybreaths thank you for asking I love talking about these two pining gays

To preface, Fleur belongs to my fiancé @theriversarebroken and we developed these two's relationship in her story, The Covenant That Fell. So speaking from that:

- In Covenant, Fleur is on a mission to rescue her sister. They both are constantly reincarnated when they die and Fleur has been searching for her for centuries. She's involved in some Serious Magical Shit and, in this life, is completely alone in her search.

- She eventually hires Roshon, a drifting sellsword, as a 'body guard' that she doesn't actually need. But Roshon does end up helping Fleur take better care of herself and does become a genuine companion despite Fleur not initially wanting to care about her at all.

- When they meet, both of them are in a place where they are determined to not care about other people or let other people get close. Fleur is too dedicated to her mission and Roshon has been burned too many times and thinks the best thing she can do for other people is die for them (another story)

- Roshon is softer than Fleur and falls first, but she refuses to distract Fleur from her mission. But her feelings keep poking out more and more and it becomes very difficult for her to hide them, so she stops bothering with hiding her affection- she just doesn't say anything. And Fleur is like yeah this is what best friends do!

- Fleur comes to the feelings revelation much later, and it's even a slow build for her to realize how special Roshon is to her because she's so focused on what she's doing. But when she does finally realize her feelings she absolutely refuses to let them distract her and Then when she decides to let herself have this, Bad happens and they're separated for a time.

- This all takes place over like 10 years. All of their friends can see it and are like ???? Because before they admit their feelings to each other they already act like they've been married forever. Like that picture up there? They just sleep like that. They're totally just friends, totally. But it is one of my favorite things of like, learning to care more about yourself because you have this special person that would be absolutely devastated if you died. This person is the other half of your soul!

Roshon Brightrun in her Bleach AU form! I developed her after I was kind of out of the bleach community but I always wonder how she would've been received then.

Tarot Asks from Here

[PAGE] What is a new skill that they would like to develop, or that they believe would help them achieve a specific goal?

Roshon is a woman of many useful but underappreciated skills- a lot of textile arts like sewing and knitting, tea making, cooking. There is one area that she's poorly versed in despite her lifestyle, and that's healing, first-aid, she doesn't have any sort of anatomical know-how and she knows it would be very useful for herself and especially for her partner. She does try to start learning from Fleur, but it's probably a little rocky at first until they get to know each other.

[THREE] Do they prefer working in teams? If so, what role do they take (e.g., leader, mediator, the brains, etc.)?

For her actual job of bounty hunting/mercenary work, Roshon really tries to avoid teams. There's a couple people she doesn't mind being on jobs with (mostly Jo and Carmen), but if she's escorting a client or chasing people around, she prefers to only be responsible for herself and her clients. That being said, Roshon enjoys company for other things, but it's more of a preference for parallel work and hanging out over working together together.

[SEVEN, REVERSED] What is something, if anything, that easily distracts them from the task at hand? Is it a specific person? A train of thought? Something environmental?

Generally Roshon is a pretty focused person, especially on the job, but she's prone to losing herself in thought when she's travelling or off-duty. She has a tendency to be very hard on herself and often loses herself to these like, 'I'm not good enough' lonely little spirals (Roshon is kind of... subtly depressed for a long time). It continues when she's travelling with Fleur while they get to know each other (in Covenant, at least) Roshon finds out Fleur is perfectly capable of handling herself in a fight (in fact, she and her enemies are leagues beyond Roshon's abilities) and mostly hired Roshon to be like, her travelling companion. It very seriously bums Roshon out for a while. Above I mentioned Roshon has a lot of useful but undervalued skills? Yeah, she tends to do a lot of the undervaluing. She's put a lot of stock in her fighting ability and can't see the good brought by the other parts of herself, so that's why she's prone to these little depression spirals.

[TEN, REVERSED] How do they define legacy? What do they believe is substantial/worth fighting for?

Jo recognizes that the amount of injuries she sustains in battle is a weakness, a deficit in her fighting style. She takes hits to end battles faster, to minimize casualties except for herself. She takes hits meant for others, but because she doesn't focus on defense the hits get to her actual body and not her weapons.

She's made up for this lack of defense by training her endurance to ridiculous heights, she can take punishment like no one's business and shake it off seemingly like nothing. But she also trains to overcome that instinctual part of herself to make sacrifices to pain- it's always counterintuitive and never sticks. She takes the most physical punishment out of most of the people she's fought alongside and she knows it's not sustainable- just because she can swallow the pain doesn't mean it's not exhausting.

And Jo's closest fighting counterparts highlight those weaknesses even more:

Her greatest swordsmanship "rival", Roshon, is a considerably better warrior in this aspect. Roshon is also a highly offensive fighter but her style incorporates graceful dodges and utilizes her large blade as much as a shield as a weapon. Roshon is just as protective as Jo in a fight, but she knows how to protect herself along with those she fights with or for.

And all this time I have been lyin'

Oh, lyin' in secret to myself

I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf

And I was runnin' far away

Would I run off the world someday?

Nobody knows, nobody knows

And I was dancing in the rain

Roshon Brightrun is a notable bounty hunter, distinct in appearance and in her choice of weapon. As a master of Tusk-style swordplay, Roshon's blade is a massive yet elegant weapon that is just as tall as it's 6'5" owner.
