#tsagani

AH YES THE HIGHEST OF INDULGENCES

✨ The big stab wound scar in the middle of her chest glows in the dark, like a burning coal. It's faint enough it doesn't show under her clothes but with her shirt off you can see all these "crack lines" that break off from it. Additionally, the stab wound scar in her side shimmers like the night sky and shines out a bit of starlight in the dark. There's stray "stars" coming off it.

Her mouth glows like her chest scar from the inside if it's like "2 AM dark or we're in a cave dark," it's kinda fuckin weird.

✨ Whenever she has the proper time to dedicate to it, she likes to go cross-country riding on either her raptor or one of the horses in the Silver Ox that she's endeared to her. There's a lot of nostalgia in it, both for prior travels and her life back in the Wastes. Oh and if she chooses a horse, she usually asks Tsagani or someone from the Ox to pop a human disguise on her. If she's roaming the area she usually likes to not draw attention to herself.

✨ Her snaggletooth is from her jaw being broken as a kid, specifically by Taabu. As Taabu and her friends liked to antagonist Tsagani when they were kids, Scooter and Jin straight up started a fight when they witnessed this. He got claw scars over one of his eyes, she got her jaw broken and bit the shit out of her tongue, and Taabu got both part of her ear bitten off (and eaten bc Kid Scooter was Like That) and and the long scar on her muzzle. Tsagani has a scar on her hand from that day, she got off with the least amount of damage.

In the Wastes she’s much more reserved, with her smiles and laughs and general displays of softness being restrained unless she has a large amount of trust built up. You can tell she’s bottling it though when she gets excited over something in her sphere of interest and just LIGHTS UP immediately.

Her muse is trying to forcibly silence me from making her more known but it will not work this time.

Tsagani does not talk about her clan or family basically at all around anyone who isn’t Scooter or Jin (the latter is...more of a former case given current circumstances) and this isn’t due to any angsty backstory details or dislike of them, but instead is because she cares very very deeply for her clan and home. The best way to protect them, in her mind, is to not mention any details of them whatsoever and if push comes to shove, actually act disinterested and unattached to them. To make sure that anyone threatening them to try and get to her is seemingly working with an nonviable target.

Beyond just being very devoted to her clan despite her estrangement and not wanting to put them on anyone’s radar, Tsagani also has kept an entire Thing she can do that’s specific to her clan entirely secret. And as far as the Forge is concerned she’s never going to do that Thing in the campaign. Never gonna come into play with anything; it just exists as Secret Lore LMAO

It’s something that’s just...deeply intimate and personal and kinda sacred, which is why she doesn’t trust anyone outside of 2 people in her immediate vicinity knowing about it. Most individuals she’s surrounded by in the present are people she frankly doesn’t want knowing it because she’s concerned about how they’d use that knowledge, as well as its ties back to her clan

Iska: Wizard, she’s a complete fucking nerd and that never changes no matter what. Likely Evocation or Divination for her school.

Perry: Paladiiiiinnn. Oath of Devotion or Oath of Vengeance. There’s a lot of righteous fury trapped inside her tiny body and frankly the visual of a tiny mouse night is something I can’t resist. Especially with regard to what her name references gshdjf

Scooter - Wolverine or a mongoose, kinda small but WILL fuck you up. Both will fight literal big cats and bears for food gdjfh

Tsagani - Snowy owl, white morph gyrfalcon, or a golden saker falcon, all for v specific lore reasons I can’t say yet gshjdfg. V graceful and deadly tho and it Fits

Iska: Magpie. Talkative shiny bastard

Atocha: Water Moccasin. Calm, minds its damn business, will poison you utterly if you fuck with them

Bonus Round - Harzor: Tibetan Blue Bear, IE: Tibetan Grizzly. Big....fluffy....can maim you if needed

💋 – Is your muse a good kisser? Would they consider themselves one? 

Yes and yes, though it’s easier when she doesn’t have a muzzle ghjhDGF

I can’t really offer any in-depth descriptions or further extrapolations because my own kissing experience is totaled to 1 romantic one lMAO

👶 – What are your muse’s top three baby names for each gender? 

Bro do you think she has time to even consider that when she lives the life she does?

I have names picked out for their kids! But Tsa does not, at least not currently.

However in place of that, I can say that she’d def want to name them in the same manner that she was, with two names that form either a joint meaning or with the second one being symbolic of something.

Also Tsagani would insist their kids’ names be on the shorter end because Scooter damned herself to a terrible nickname forever and she’s never going to let her wife live that down.

(They end up as Veesol, Kinyi, and Tieno)

🎱 – Does your muse believe in serendipity or fate, when it comes to relationships and love? Do they have good or bad luck in relationships? What have they done to try to turn bad luck around? 

Oh hell no, not in fate at least. Tsagani believes in luck as a concept, and she considers herself very lucky to have met Scooter when they were both kids and could be each other’s points of stability (as they remain currently). However, what makes love and relationships work is genuine effort. It is messy and sometimes hard and requires a lot of fucking work, but you cannot expect some random twist of fate to make everything fall into place. You get out of a relationship what you put into it.

Lorraine Broughtonfrom Atomic Blonde is what got all the gears in my head turning, and you can probably see why

Color scheme and all

I also just really liked the idea of Scooter’s counterpart/foil/romantic interest being so starkly removed from her fiance’s originally pretty stereotypical gnoll stylings? Scooter’s her own aesthetic now but at the start I kinda went with the whole “patchwork bones and stolen things and fantasy trashpunk” direction.

But Tsagani is refined to the point of everyone joking that she’s got to be a fuckin. “fake canadian girlfriend I promise she’s real and loves me” sorta thing.

Its layers and layers of Tsa removing herself from what she is (on the surface) and presenting this nebulous, charming face and not giving any details about who tf she Actually Is like Lorraine.

Bc Lorraine ends up not even being British at the end of the film, she’s an American agent infiltrating MI6

And I will point out that Tsagani has given very bare bones or Absolutely No Information At All about her life before she was an artificer and fully operational as a spy. Scooter knows stuff but she aint saying Shit.

She aint a traitor tho shes just got Secrets

OH BOY. Well you’d need to date Scooter too since they’re a package deal. 

Im giving her 4 pros bc Im Love Her

Pros:

1. You’re never gonna find someone more devoted and patient. Tsa is willing to stick by her partner through hell and back, ready to help them try and grow through it and at the end of it to just help them decompress.

2. She’s extremely organized and habitually plans things just to settle her mind, so Tsagani would streamline your entire schedule and unfuck a bunch of shit you have going on. Your desk has never been cleaner and organized in a way that still fits your habits. 

3. Man she’s just charming and fun to be around. The sort of person that makes you more comfortable in your own skin. 

4. One of her big love languages is gifts and she will make a huge effort to get you things you’d enjoy or make you stuff that you’d like.

Cons:

1. Getting to know her True Self and tapping into that sincere romantic intimacy that doesn’t have a degree of paranoia and trust issues? 

2. She can be an absolute workaholic and is full of self-destructive habits related to just. Never stopping on her projects until she’s finished or she passes out. Tsagani is also an extreme perfectionist with what she does so this whole process could happen over and over until she’s satisfied. Which isn’t the best for dating.
