Mun Fact:

My bestie @aethericsea is moving in with me at the end of the year!! So we are currently turning my 1 bedroom condo into a space that can accommodate two people. I can't wait to get everything sorted so we can share photos. It's going to be so cute.

A Mun Fact:

I have recently, as in the past few months, have come to accept that I am likely on the Autism spectrum. It is lovely being able to further identify and understand how and why I do the things that I do.

Muse Fact!

Mun Fact!

I was almost scouted to be in a Disney World commercial when I was around 5 years old. My family was there for the weekend and we were checking out the same day someone came up and offered the opportunity. I was a baby so I was very upset about it! But it was probably for the better. Most of them Disney kids aren't all right.

However, I did get the opportunity the sit on Shamu at Sea World when I was 7! They had him come right up onto the stage and I got to sit on him. We have a big poster of it somewhere.

2 Mun Facts:

I have aphantasia. I cannot visualize for shit, so for more complex action scenes I have to physically move around my room to figure out what my muses are doing!

When I last checked in college my WPM was 101, if I recall? Either way I'm ready to beat the shit out of that new Gold Saucer Mini Game!

2 Muse Facts:

Meiko is unaware of it, but she has a blood relative that is still alive! Sjodyl is Mei's late birth mother's older sister, and (according to what I brainstormed with Grey, who came up with her), she would have joined Lente's Tears after their home village was destroyed by Garlean invaders. So there is a chance she could see Meiko, who resembles her late mother, and make the connection.

This broad verse isn't too different from her main one. Set in any generally fantasy world, Meiko's life followed the path below:

Still the adopted daughter of a pair of older retired parents, Mei looked after her younger adopted brother. However, she was the one bit with the wanderlust bug before he was. She departs home when she is twenty-one.

Shortly after arriving in her first major city by herself, Meiko speaks with a former contact of her father's. She runs with a local rogue's guild, perfecting the skills she had picked up as a child, and eventually gets slot into one of the rogues' specific teams: a traveling performance troupe that uses dancers as a distraction while others pickpocket or run heists. [Think similar to FF9's Tantalus theater ship]

Depending on the verse, Meiko can either have set out on her own at 24 or still be a part of the performance troupe. Either way, she would be traveling around the generic world map and already have her usual base dancer/combat skills.

Similar to her non-WOL verse, Meiko could sell her combat skills to pay for travel and/or supplies. She travels around, either on foot but likely often by boat. My personal favorite and yet-to-be-used scenario is where Meiko gets to be the bodyguard for a princess or equivalent lady in power, befriending and teach the lass how to defend herself.

"--Hengr!" Meiko cursed, watching as the other's body was thrown a fair distance away, rolling in the snow. With a scream of frustration, Mei focused on fighting her way over to where she'd landed, twisting and dodging oncoming attacks and taking out whoever she could along the way.

"Light --!" Godsdammit! All it ever took was one slip-up -- fortunately, Lightning was made of stronger stuff. Shoving aside the self-loathing for the moment, Meiko forced herself back up onto her feet and grabbed the other woman around the shoulders to steady her.

"--Pain! Now yer just fuckin' showin' off!" There was no point showing concern for her when she was grinning like that. Best to check in on her after the fight was over.

... Gods, Meiko was going to have to start carrying potions, wasn't she?

Selena had stumbled. Just for half a moment, but it was enough for the Garlean soldier to regain his footing and raise his lance. Meiko didn't think -- an en avant brought her within reach with little time to spare.

She shoved the teen with the brunt of her shoulder, knocking her out of the way as the lance lodged itself into her side. Meiko let out a half-scream, half curse from the pain, but twisted and grabbed hold of the staff. With a shout, she yanked the spear out and socked him square in the chest with the blunt end. It was enough to make him stumble, and in a flash, her chakrams had sailed out and slit his throat.

With a groan, Meiko hunched over, hooking her chakrams back on her belt and cupping one hand over the wound in her side.
