#terann

A guy who seems like a disaster conspiracy nut and has foolproof failsafes in place for literally everything. He spends hours researching and coming up with evil schemes so he can laugh when a villian tries and point out every flaw in the villian's plan.

His younger cousin and partner in crime: a girl who is a literal house fire to the point of accedentaly lighting no fewer than 26 people on fire before the story starts. Her hair is usually on fire and she can be found screaming at or about fictional characters.

And her little sister: a deadpan snarker who pretends to have her life together while internally screaming, and then procedes to trip over her own feet and break her leg. She just wants to hide in the library and read, but these two idiots are going to die without her.

(Oldest 7 in semi-random order, little 13 by age)

I know I'm putting Surface Pressure on Kressie's playlist; isn't the oldest, but ends up with that stress and has power that makes them seem invincible? Yup! And I'm seriously debating putting Waiting On A Miracle on either Kalynet (can't intentionally use/refrain from using her powers) and/or Terann's (powers manifest late) playlists. Namos might get Surface Pressure too simply because applied to him the "I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is" is both irony and a pun that makes me giggle hysterically. And with Zai's 'lawful good to chaotic neutral' story arc What Else Can I Do could definitely fit.

But I'm also wanting to and really debating whether or not putting What Else Can I Do on Xandrie's is a bad idea. Cause yes 'oldest sister/(f)cousin in a huge family where everyone has magic and 3 generations all live together, is expected to be a perfect princess but is actually a feral chaos gremlin' definitely describes Xan just as well as Isabela. But Xan also only ever puts on the facade of perfection for a few hours at a time, and is already half feral on a good day. And yeah having her explore the extent of her telekinesis like that would be cool cause she doesn't play with it alot, but with Xan primarily being a pyromancer... yikes...

Like:

Xandrie: *on fire* *levitating herself* *everything around her on fire* *eyes glowing red* *ash flying everywhere* *EVERYTHING flying everywhere* *using so much power that she's hurting herself from strain and accidentally actually burning herself* *deranged giggling* *utterly feral grin* 🎶WHAT ELSE CAN I DO!?!?🎶

Kressie: *in a bubble of water in order to even come close* *kinda amazed but mostly terrified that Xan might have lost it* *frantically trying to both douse and heal her before she kills someone - possibly herself* 🎵Bring it in! Bring it in!🎵

And then I remember that I intentionally have it so that when he introduces both himself and my main hero, he does so ambiguously. Neglecting to mention Xan's gender or correct those assuming this chaotic child (whose name is the equivalent to Alex) is a boy. Neglecting to correct that they're cousins not twins. That 'their' (her) father is a blacksmith by hobby and ruler by trade, rather than just master of the castle's forge. He's merely a child spending a summer day with the other boys in the village, and Xan is simply his best friend, sibling, and the other half of his Trickster Twins trope. He lets her introduce them by action not words, on her terms, and those terms happen to mean that for most of the first scene they're perceived as the blacksmith's twin sons rather than royal cousins.
