Doing the invite from @miscreantkittens! And I'll be tagging my boyo @razzberrydazz

I'm being ambitious and doing three, I think.

Rules: Assign something for each item of the list.

Animal | Color | Food

Drink | [pic] | Season

Movie | Song | Character Inspo

First Up, Cephas!

Animal: Peakcocks. He's a massive flirt and is certainly aware of people being attracted to him. I did consider sea animals or other animals that are more in the forest, but peacocks and birds of paradise work well. They're flashy, flirty, and interesting. Just like him.

Color: Seafoam Green. This was a struggle to pick, but ultimately a bright Blue-Green is the choice. He's bright and bubbly, and spent much time in the water before he got to where he is now. This bright color is a great way to look at him and his essence. Playful, eye catching, hard to describe but still pleasant and easy on the eyes.

Food: Fruit Parfait. He's got a massive sweet tooth. He even pours syrup in his coffee and eats mostly sweets if you'd let him. His curse ties in with his love of sweets, and he managed to change the parameters of it to continue to eat what he loved, especially given at that time it was super rare of him to be able to have sweets on a whim. I think it also works in the idea of the food itself being sweet and fresh, with a bit of tartness and zing. Just perfect for him.

Drink: Butterfly Pea Tea. A tea that changes color with its ingredients and has such an ethereal look? It's more than perfect. Especially with how he's a great gatherer for his craft and I could certainly see him gathering ingredients to make not only potions and other witchy products, but his own teas, jams, snacks, and so on, even when he no longer has to worry on the food front.

Picture drawn by yours truly, I wanted a piece to show off his more serious and mysterious facets, so tada.

Season: Spring. I debated about this and fall, but spring works better in the essence of him with all he's endured. For all that life threw at him in such a formative time in his life, he still chose to grow and bloom when the world wanted him to rot and wither. There's a certain natural sweetness to spring. Everything is working hard while making it look effortless. Fall's sweetness is also in nature but mostly man made. For him, spring works best because of how its allowed to be wild.

Movie: Wilde. None of the movies I watched personally fit him, so I chose one from my watch list. He certainly has a similar energy. Bold, playful, willing to go after what he wants, not afraid of indulging. A legend in his own way of the power and charm he exudes, able to own every room he walks into.

Song: W.I.T.C.H by Devon Cole. Given that Cephas' most confident part of his identity is his magic and craft, it makes sense. He's learned to be a better person, and grown beyond what his father would have had for him. He is more in control of himself and the room than many people can tolerate, maybe, but more than anything don't get on his bad side. He's much better as an ally.

Character Inspiration: Gingerbread from Home Tutor Hitman REBORN! I saw the design of a twinky little witch boy and said "how can I really play with this?" I wanted a male witch with a slimmer body, bright interesting eyes, blond, and shorter frame, which the first iteration of Cephas was. He was made to do an RP with an old friend in highschool, but as we stopped being friends I brought him back after years of disuse to another RP, with some changes he prompted rather quickly, like his curse, and the details of it, and how his body adapted. He got fuller in his "fem form" because he could eat more sweets. He revealed more about his heritage, and even style choices. I love him.
