Ooh, that must be Papa!

So, Tanit's Papa was an itinerant cleric of the Raven Queen, and an incredibly kind man who never refused to help anyone in need, and also a bit of dork, because dorkiness runs in the family. His speciality was healing, but also funeral rites and guidance to the other-world for those beyond healing. He always smiled and never lost his temper, even if people were distrustful of his goddess and didn't want him around because of 'death following him'. Just as Grandpapa taught Tanit not to be afraid of the undead, Papa taught her to respect life. He loved his daughter dearly and she loved travelling with him.

Before Tanit was born, he had been a part of an adventuring group, where he'd fallen in love with a mysterious elf dedicated to her mysterious cause and... that's exactly how Tanit was born :D

2. The first three words that come to mind

She tends to name all her pets after weather phenomena. She named her skeletal fennec fox back home Zephyr, and Grandpapa's skeletal camels that pull his sleigh were named Downpour, Thunder, Storm and Gale just a day after she came to live with him. The horse she rode for a while was named Fog. And the animal skulls which decorate her altar of Velsharoon are named Master Mirage (weasel) and Mistress Blizzard (crow).

FLIRT.   is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

By feeding you with sweets and telling you fun stories about ghosts and vampires <3

GIFT.   is your muse good at gift - giving or do they struggle to get it right?

Her very presence is the most precious gift, obviously, but if she feels like adding something more to it, she will either find you something random and enchanted, and possibly spooky, or ask about you wish and see what she can do.

XOXO.   does your muse use / like pet names?

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

💀Tanit will casually drop hints here and there, making your eyes go wider and wider and your head spin, as she first tells you about her pet fennec fox and her grandpapa who knows so much and how she prays every night, and then you learn the fox is skeletal and the grandpapa is pretty ancient and wait, WHAT does he do? WHO does she pray to??? If you’re not sure what to make of all those pieces of a bigger picture, you can ask. She’ll be overjoyed if you ask. She will tell you more. It won’t make things easier.

💖Helvi is more focused on you, really. She wants to know things about you and listen to whatever you have to say. If you want to get to know her, ask specific questions. If you ask about her craft or her friends and family, she’ll go into happy rambling. When she gets to know you better, she may open up more, but will still be focused on you primarily.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about their partner? Do they remember every little detail they mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

💀Tanit may not remember everything and may confuse things sometimes, but she will sure remember your measurements for the coffin and your favourite book and who you worship, so she can say hello, and who your family is and how happy your life is with them, and how much she needs to pray for you to get well. And your backstory. She will remember your backstory and ask for more.

💖Helvi, as I already mentioned, wants to know. Wants to remember. Ask questions. But at first, she will remember less about what you tell her and more about what impression you make while speaking. The tone of your voice, the way you quirk your lips and that little wrinkle between your eyebrows when you’re deep in thoughts. She’ll watch you react to things and learn all your likes and dislikes. She may not remember the exact date of your nameday, but will make you the best un-nameday whenever you need it.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect their partner? How would they like to be protected?)

💀Tanit will pray for your health and defend you with her strength and aura of genki. She'll also make sure she has enough diamonds in case you die despite her efforts. If your soul manages to flee is too far gone, she will take good care of your corpse <3

💖Answered!

hollyhock :   how strong is your muse’s sense of ambition ?  what’s something they strive for in life ?

Tanit’s biggest ambition is introducing the people of Adarayan to recycling and make sure they know it’s cool and useful and fun. And once she’s done with it... there’s still the rest of the world, right? And the moon!

lavender :   how easy is it to gain your muse’s trust ?  once their trust is broken ,   how might one go about mending it ?

I mean. She doesn’t seem to think much about whether she trusts someone. It’s usually more about how much she enjoys being around someone, because they are fun. Grandpapa taught her not to trust other people, because they would stop trusting her as soon as they see her talk to corpses or animate them. On the other hand, Papa had always been chill and healed everyone in need, whether they’d seemed trustworthy or not. And she kind of takes after both of them, I think? She doesn’t really have (or show) any expectations.

marigold :   is your muse prone to jealousy ?  how might they handle envious feelings ?

She might be a bit jealous of Viktoria’s pale complexion and King’s immunity to poison, but it’s more like ‘woooooooooow, that is so great, I wish I too had it’ than ‘argh, the envy burneth my heart’.

💐 : What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

She would dress up in her most colourful outfit, take the object of her affection on a date to a graveyard and tell fun stories about the undead.

🧸 : Into public displays of affection or are they more reserved?

She'll gladly glomp the hell out of her friends in public and I'm pretty sure she'd do the same with her love interest if she had any and if they didn't mind. If they did mind though, she would act reserved, but... in a funny way. Making sure they're always two steps apart. Winking every time they look at her. Gods, she would be positively annoying.

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

The weirdness and the genki XD

justice  :  does your muse find it easy to be impartial in emotional situations ?

Good question, actually... I can’t recall anything like that happening during the campaign, but I’m sure if her team mates had a fight, she wouldn’t take any side, but she would remind them they love each other and sit them down, so they work things out together. Or perhaps she would let them blow off steam in a *friendly* fight and bring snacks, depending on which party member would be involved.

the star  :  what does your muse take inner comfort in knowing ? what guides your muse ?

She knows she can pray and her god will answer. She knows there are zombies and mummies out there and they can be tamed and controlled. She knows there are ghosts and they can be reasoned with and sent back to the world of the dead. She knows there are vampires and they can be befriended. She knows there is Grandpapa she can come back to or turn to for advice. She knows there are friends who won’t reject her <3
