Another continuation of EAH names, but this time, it's the children of Robin Hood's Merry Men.
Warning, puns abound. Enjoy!
First, Robin Hood and Maid Marian son's Sparrow Hood. You already know him so I'll skip the introduction and just drop his picture down below.
Tumblr media
Next the son of Little John, John Little, Jr. (also called "Johnny" or "Junior" by friends and family). Like his father, he's tall. Like, really tall. He's the same age as Sparrow, but is a few months older. He's been handling Sparrow's ego from a young age and is the only one who can really get him off of his high horse and back to the real world. He also acts as the band's roadie/manager.
Now we have a semi-familiar face, Tucker Friar (also called "Tuck" by his friends and family), the son of Friar Tuck. He was only mentioned in the books and is one of two Merry Men we see in the webisodes, but everyone has pretty much dubbed this one (pictured here) Tucker Friar. He's like John in that he can bring Sparrow down from one of his ego trips. He either plays the bass or guitar in Sparrow's band.
Now, the only other Merry Man we were shown in the webisodes, the one with green hair, I have dubbed as the son of Reynold Greenleaf, Ray Greenleaf. He either plays the bass or guitar in Sparrow's band.
Tumblr media
Another one you might recognize is the Orange Haired backgrounder. As previously stated, she could be the daughter of Alan-a-Dale or Will Scarlet. As Alanna Dale, she could be a skilled musician, like her father, with a harp or a lute. If she is Wilma Scarlet, she could not only be a skilled musician, but also a skilled swordsman, like her father. The two could often be mistaken for each other, even among the Merry Men, because they have the same hair color.
Tumblr media
Next, we have the daughter of George-a-Greene, Georgia Greene. She has a lot of animals that are actually strays or lost pets that her family keeps impounded on their family property. She is also a great watchman like her father, keeping watch over their family property and Sherwood Forest.
Now, the child of Gamble Gold, Gable Gold. Like all the other Merry Men, they are skilled in combat, like archery, swords, and quarter staff.
Much the Miller's Son has a son of his own, Michael Miller. Not only can he mill, but he can also use a bow and arrow and is very skilled with a knife as well.
Gilbert Whitehand (or Gilbert with the White Hand) has a son named Robert Whitehand. Like his father, and the rest of the Merry Men, he is skilled in archery and swordsmanship.
Swaney the Scot's son is named Wayne Scot. Like the rest of the Merry Men, he is skilled in archery, swords, horseback riding, and has other skills that a Merry Man would need.
Will Stutely has a son named Bill Stutely. He has the skills a Merry Man would need, but he is also a spy for Robin Hood, gathering information on the Sheriff and his plans.
David of Doncaster's son is named Daniel Doncaster. He has the skills of a Merry Man, but he can also use a quarter staff and is a skilled wrestler as well. As such, he's a bit larger than the average man.
Lastly, we have Arthur a Bland's son, Archer Bland. Despite his name, Archer is a skilled tanner and fighter, along with the other Merry Men. He grew up together with Sparrow and the other Merry Men's children.

( hannah dodd , 26 , she/her , cis woman , french royal family 4 ) - have you seen PRINCESS CLARA LOUISE BOURBON ?. we’ve heard through the grapevine that they’re OBSERVANT but also BLUNT. i heard that HER main objective this season is TO EXPERIENCE AND LEARN NEW THINGS .
Tumblr media
𝐈. INTRODUCTION
There’s certain anonymity in being a royal daughter so far down the line. People look at you - but they don’t really see. They don’t have to. All the responsibility had always weighed upon the shoulders of her brothers and the expectation of having a proper Princess had always been shared among the sisters. And while Clara was a chameleon, always able to portray the part needed, she always felt a little bit lost in her role.
Sitting still and looking pretty was only as interesting as the company willing to distract her. It all started to feel a bit hollow at a young age, putting Clara in a position of silent rebellion. Dance lessons became unimportant, she’d rather take the horse out for a ride in the mud. Why learn another language when she never got the chance to go see the country it belonged to? Why another dress fitting when she had too many already? It all seemed to be a charade, like she was a part of a big play but she simply didn’t understand her role.
Being young and lost in her own mindset, she heavily leaned on her siblings to guide her through the expectations of their parents. And while it wasn’t easy to always keep the peace, it was an experience that strongly bonded her to every single Bourbon child in one way or another.
However, a cage is just a cage, even if it’s golden.
And so Clara found different ways to escape her daily life. From books to art over to music and horse riding. Anything to distract her. Anything to give her a purpose. Who was she if she wasn’t gifted? It’s all she had to over, her overzealous nature.
Although there was an expectation for her to find a match, she hardly listened to the social pressure. She didn’t want to be foolish and believe she might fall in love with her future suitor but she hoped. Even came close to it but was taught better when he simply disappeared from her life, leaving her stunned. So when it was time to travel to England, she hardly voiced any interest in playing the social game. The world had so much more to offer than old traditions. Clara had always dreamed of getting out and this could be her little break from reality, all alongside her siblings who’d undoubtedly use the support.
𝐈𝐈. PERSONALITY
“Don’t call her butterfly for she is a swallow.”
She’s more quick-witted than does her any good. Being a well-read woman, she can hold her ground in any conversation, often dominating if things get heated which might be off-putting to some. However, she’s still royalty and she’s been taught how to remain gracious. She simply chooses to forget it sometimes. A bit perfectionistic and overzealous, she’s deeply passionate about anything that catches her interest. Or anyone. Fiercely loyal, she puts those she cares about and their needs above herself any day. She knows she can take care of herself and wants to ensure they are the ones with comfort. There’s something insecure about her nature. Clara struggles with self-doubt and often tries to overcompensate for her lack of true confidence by being kind and helpful. If someone turns on her, she’ll simply accept she wasn’t good enough for them. She takes on lots of different hobbies but mostly she loves horseback riding, playing the piano and harp, as well as writing poetry. She doesn’t show it to anyone though, with the exception of the people she truly trusts. She has two canary birds she brought with her, they are a big source of comfort for her.
“Her wings will carry her much further.”
𝐈𝐈𝐈. WANTED CONNECTION
001. Best friend: Self-explanatory. Someone outside her family she loves so damn much and is just excited to see again. Very wholesome. Will trust them with all her secrets and probably sneak off into the gardens to talk shit. 
002. Former friend: Someone she used to be close with but they had a falling out and now it’s all about the cold glances across the room and maybe even petty behaviour.
003. Pretencious little hobby buddies: Anyone who’s into books or art or anything she likes. They can go into a corner together and just....lose themselves in their shared hobby.
004. THIS wanted connection: Please?? I want the angst and drama so bad. I just want her to suffer and cry, it would be super spicy but in a non-spicy way.

PatB: Beauty and the Beast AU
This is based off the animated movie because frankly I don’t like the live action remake (what did they do to Beast? He’s just a hairy human with horns in the live action film). 
Cause c’mon if we’re doing Disney AUs y’all knew this movie would crop up eventually. Also consider this is a test post and not all details will be ironed out from the start. 
Characters 
Belle: Pinky 
Beast: Brain
Gaston: Snowball 
Lefou: I don’t think he’s necessary but either Larry or Egwind could probably fill in. 
Maurice: Pinky’s dad.
Enchantress: Undecided. CEO Norita or Minerva Mink maybe? 
Philippe: Pharfignewton 
Main Trio of Servants: Yakko (candelabra), Wakko (clock), Dot (teacup) 
Other Animaniacs characters as servants or villagers as needed. Rita the Cat is a harp and the main singer for the big ballroom dance. Runt is a footstool. 
Prologue
1. Brain and Snowball have history. They grew up in a castle together, but Snowball craved more power and after a very harsh argument with Brain, he left the castle to make his own way into the world. Snowball’s betrayal stung Brain deeply, and Brain became angrier and unhappy and tries to assert more control over the castle while trying to keep his pride and dignity intact. 
2. A few weeks after Snowball’s betrayal on a harsh winter’s night, Brain loses his temper on a traveler wanting shelter from the cold, and he and the entire castle are cursed as a result. He’s given the rose and mirror and told that he needs to find love in 2 years or be cursed for all time. Brain feels horribly guilty for dragging the servants into his mess but doesn’t know how to admit it.  
2 Years Later
1. Pinky’s lived in a quiet village his entire life. His dad is an extremely amateur inventor (he doesn’t really have any concept of the scientific process and operates on a ‘does it work or does it explode’ basis). Pinky likes to go horseback riding with Pharfignewton in his spare time and often wishes to know what’s beyond the village, but his dad needs him. 
2. Since leaving the castle, Snowball settled into Pinky’s village and quickly became the leader, using his status as a way to garner wealth and easily impressionable followers before setting his sights on other kingdoms. There’s quite a few statues built in his honor around town. Since Pinky is often lost in his own little world at times, he doesn’t admire Snowball the way the others do. Snowball is intrigued by Pinky’s resistance. 
3. Pinky’s dad takes Pharfig and his invention to the fair, gets lost, winds up at the castle. He meets the Warner siblings, who entertain their guest until Brain shows up, enraged by the blatant trespassing and belief that he’d come to steal his servants. Brain locks him in a cell until he can properly work out a way to keep the mouse from revealing what he’d seen. 
4. Snowball makes an advance on Pinky. Pinky goes out to the field to think for a while after successfully tossing Snowball out of the house, and Pharfig comes back in a panic, without his dad or the cart. Pharfig takes Pinky to the castle, where Pinky discovers his dad being held in a cell. Brain gets mad at the trespassing again, but it quickly melts into confusion when Pinky offers to take his dad’s place as prisoner. Brain takes the deal, but he doesn’t let Pinky say goodbye to his dad as he’s dragged out of the castle and Pinky is left to cry. 
5. Rest of the interactions between Pinky and Brain pre-wolf attack play out similarly to the movie (personally I don’t think Brain would let Pinky starve though). Yakko when Brain almost breaks the door to get Pinky to come out of his room: “Look, I can barely string two words together around girls but even I know that you shouldn’t break down people’s doors.” 
Dot: “YOU SET FIRE TO MY DOOR LAST WEEK.” 
6. The Warner sibs fully realize the irony of them trying to help someone behave enough for the curse to break and decide to go apologize to Dr. Scratchy...later. 
7. Pinky can carry Brain even though Brain is much bigger than him (also I imagine Brain as a beast is more rat-sized in this AU so by mouse standards he’d be big but he has to be small enough so the ballroom scene can work). He yeeted Brain into a snowbank once and destroyed him in a snowball fight. 
8. Yakko is the big Shakespeare reader of the group and puts on reenactments for their entertainment. 
9. Brain has a lab in the castle where he likes to experiment with scrap parts of machinery, but his larger paws make it difficult for him to handle anything with finesse, causing a huge amount of frustration. 
10. Dot is the MVP again. Brain shouldn’t take romantic advice from Yakko and Wakko. 
11. There’s an enormous field behind the castle which was used for horseback riding between royals before the curse. Brain gifts the entire thing to Pinky on Dot’s advice and Pinky adores it to pieces.
12. Dot helped Pinky with his pretty golden dress before the dance. Yakko and Wakko help Brain with the formal clothing, but have to call in Dot for fixing the fur around his face to something that wouldn’t damage Brain’s pride.
13. “Because I love him” after Brain releases Pinky so he can take his ailing father home is a huge step for Brain, but its not enough to break the curse. They wait for the last petal to fall, and Yakko panics because he can’t find Dot anywhere. Unknown to him, Dot left the castle with Pinky. Brain goes completely numb and can only stare out a window in despair.  
13. Snowball threatens to have Pinky’s dad brought to a lab where he’ll be experimented on if Pinky doesn’t agree to marriage. Pinky claims he was at a castle and shows the mirror for proof, then admits that he befriended the Beast shown in it. Snowball instantly recognizes who it is, and realizes how he can hurt Brain all over again: by taking Pinky for himself. Pinky and his dad are locked in a cellar as Snowball gathers a mob to go kill Brain and claim the castle for himself. Dot and Pharfignewton save them, and they go rushing off to the castle to warn of the attack. 
14. The servants defend the castle. Snowball escapes the chaos and goes to hunt down Brain himself. Brain doesn’t fight back, and Snowball taunts him about loving Pinky. Before Snowball can kill him, Brain hears Pinky’s voice calling out a warning and he regains the will to fight back. Dot reunites with her brothers and together they fend off the remaining villagers. 
15. Snowball and Brain fight on the rooftop. Brain almost kills Snowball, but shows mercy and tells him to leave instead. As Pinky and Brain reunite, Snowball fatally stabs Brain, but loses his balance in the process and falls to his death. 
16. Death, Pinky’s love confession, and transformation scene. Everyone lives happily after ever. Except Snowball. Who’s dead. 
Bonus:
Brain during the group hug after the transformation: “Wait, how come everyone’s taller than me now?”

making music | part 3 | teaser
Wait what!? I thought I forgot this fic! Nope, almost done. Have a teaser.
Her fat ancient cat Drogon howled, hovering around Jon's feet, poking his paw at them. She lifted her head after a few more minutes of it, chuckling. He'd sat down at the harp and was studying the pedals, while Drogon caught her eye and ran towards her, alerting her to the interloper at her harp. "He's good," she assured her cat, ruffling his ears. She carried her tea over to Jon, leaning against the couch.
He touched a fingertip to one of the taut strings, which vibrated under the lightest brush. A tiny smile pulled at the corner of his mouth. He darted his eyes up. "You know, I don't know how to play the harp."
"I believe you told me that." She sipped her tea, waiting a moment, and smiled, whispering. "I Can teach you."
A grin now pulled over his lips. "Really?"
She hummed noncommittedly, dropping her mug onto the coffee table, and moved over to him. "Budge over." He scooted to the edge of the chair and she slung her leg on the other side, spooning him. It was different; he was usually the big spoon. They settled against each other, with his strong back up against her chest and her arms stretched around his waist. She giggled when he wiggled his arse up against her. "Stop, be serious."
"I am, I’m getting comfortable."
"Alright, so, hands like this." In full teacher mode, but with a bit of deference to their situation as lovers, she rested her chin on his shoulder and he slumped a little into her so she could see better. He smelled like her jasmine shampoo, she thought briefly, closing her eyes, and focusing. She smoothed her hands over his, bringing his fingers up to the strings on either side, getting him situated.
She slipped her feet down between his as best she could and tugged the pedestal of her harp closer, whispering into his ear, tickling aside one of his tray curls. "Tilt it."
His breath grew sharp, and he nodded, carefully tilting the harp slightly back the way it needed to be and then she pushed her feet on the pedals. He splayed his legs out farther, to give her easier access to them, which only served to press her harder against him to reach the strings.
Using only her fingertips, her first three fingers and her thumb, she lovingly strummed the harp, its beautiful chime filling the space. Even Drogon came over and sat down, watching them through kitty-happy slit eyes. She closed hers, head crooked in his neck, and went through the opening of a song that was her mother's favorite— one of Rhaegar's. A Dream of Spring.
And in a way, a song that united her and Jon. It was the first one they'd ever played together, after all.
When she finished the refrain, she sighed, happy, and upturned her face, meeting his quiet eyes. He touched his forehead to hers, whispering. "That was beautiful."
"Thank you," she murmured. She brushed her nose over his. "It was my mother's favorite."
"She sounds like an extraordinary woman."
"I think she was," she murmured. They both had that in common, their mothers had passed away, leaving them to fulfill their legacies. She pinched her brows together. "Did your mother want you to be in the symphony?"
He shook his head, turning his attention back to the harp. "No, not really. She did what she could with me. She just loved music. She loved art, music, horseback riding...helping people. It was everything to her. I just..." he trailed off and shrugged, mumbling. "Get bored."
That was obvious, how he jumped from instrument to instrument. She chewed her bottom lip, hoping she wasn't wading into too sensitive of territory. "Is that why you give the money to the Northern charity? That godswood?"
He lifted his shoulder, not really answering. "I don't need it. Where else would it go?"
She cleared her throat. "My mother wanted me to be in the symphony, like all of them." That was what she had been led to believe. Rhaella had wanted her only daughter happy, but it was left in her will that all her harps and her music would go to her. It was what Dany wanted to give her legacy, at least.
"I think my mother wanted me to be happy, however that was and right now the symphony is something to do and so I'm doing it." He left it at that, turning to face her again, his forehead wrinkled, concerned. "I think your mother would have just wanted you to be happy. If that's what music does, then do it."
She ran her tongue over her teeth. It was easy for him to say that, not knowing. She shrugged. "The symphony is what I want."
"Well then."
"Fine."
They stared at the harp. He coughed obviously and shifted against her. "So how do I play this thing?"
The conversation clearly tabled, their competing and diverse approach to the thing that brought them together no longer a topic to discuss, she moved closer again. With her hands over his once more, she brought them up to the strings. "Like this," she husked into his ear, feeling his slight tremble under her, and began to pull on the strings, laughing when he pulled too hard. "No! Gentle. The harp is like..." she trailed off and leaned her face around to his again, purring. "A lover's touch."
His breath drew sharp, and he whispered, voice thick. "I think I can work with that."
She forced herself to return focus to the instrument between them, guiding him through the basic principles. Before long, he probably would be able to pick it up on his own, but she really enjoyed teaching music. It was a way to make money between gigs, in her attempt to get where she wanted to be, but she did like imparting her knowledge, watching a child learn what they could make the instrument do and what happiness they could produce from it.
When her fingers faltered, Jon covered hers and let her play instead, his palms sliding up over her bare arms and then letting go, turning in front of her and finding her mouth with his, a hand cupping her jaw and stroking over her neck. She gasped, letting go of the strings, unable to keep playing as he turned around completely, the harp falling back to the floor.

Task Six Skill Check
I daresay, [MARGARET MULGRAVE] is absolutely divine at [PLAYING CARDS, LITERATURE, FRENCH, AND NEEDLEWORK.]. And accomplished in [MATTERS OF SOCIALIZATION AND EDUCATION], too. Though – did you know – [SHE] is dreadfully poor at [MATTERS OF SPORT, PAINTING AND DRAWING.]? We do hope that won’t harm their prospects. 
MATTERS OF SPORT. (-3) Horse Riding +1 Carriage Driving (e.g., phaetons, barouches) 0  Croquet -1 Badminton -1 Fencing -2
Much to her father’s disappointment and regardless of his encouragement, Margaret never excelled in matters of sport. She can just hold her own on horseback, though her confidence wanes should she need to ride sidesaddle. 
MATTERS OF SOCIALIZATION. (+13) Dancing +2 Etiquette +2 Fashion +2 Penmanship +2 Playing Cards +3 Grammar +2 Witticisms 0
Margaret is well rounded when it comes to socialization, proficient in all areas except witticisms which she never grasped the point of, and cards which she took an extra interest in. 
MATTERS OF EDUCATION. (+14) Mathematics +2 Natural Sciences +1 History +2 Reading +2 Politics +1 Geography +2 Literature +3 Philosophy +1 Religion 0
Margaret focused most of her energy in her education. She has a special passion for literature, but is also proficient in history, mathematics, and geography at her father’s insistence should she be left to manage Blenheim at anytime. Religion tires her. 
MATTERS OF LANGUAGE. (+4) French +3 Italian 0 German +1 Greek 0 Latin 0 Spanish 0 (other) - e.g., Arabic, English (if not first language), etc. 0
Margaret is fluent in French and was taught from a young age in conjunction with naturally picking up English from the world around her. She’s not sure why her mother was so insistent at the language in particular, but it certainly came in handy. Recently, she has taken interest in German, though still learning. 
MATTERS OF ARTISTIC PROWESS. (-1) Pianoforte [+/- Accompaniment] +1 Violin 0 Harp 0 Singing 0 Painting -1  Drawing -1
Margaret does not have many artistic hobbies to brag of. She can handle a pianoforte if requested because it is expected from a lady of her station, but she does not know more than one or two pieces. She is also exceptionally poor at painting and drawing. 
MATTERS PERTAINING TO LADIES. (+3) Needlework + 3 Embroidery  0
Where Margaret lacks in artistic pursuits she excels in needlework. A womanly pursuit she took to early and mastered quickly. She has not given embroidery the same attention.

Portrayal Specific Things
So before I get into the meat of this headcanon there are a few things to note about how I portray Link. While my Link is from Breath of the Wild there are a few things that are not necessarily in game that I apply to my link, that stem from other Zelda games.
Link has the ability to use magic. In most games Link has the ability to wield magical objects or straight up use magic. Link cam still do this, however do to the trying times that Hyrule faced over the past 100 years magic is not so evident as it once was. However given the opportunity link is fairly proficient with magic, particularly if they are instruments, or take the form of a staff ( which is his preferred method ). I will talk more about this later, probably after BOTW 2 comes out or we get more information on.
Link possesses while not having the physical Triforce of Courage seeing as Zelda has all three parts, he does possess the spirit of that Triforce piece. So Zelda wields the full Triforce to seal Calamity Ganon. However, the spirit of each piece still lies within the three reincarnated beings, Zelda, Link, and Ganon. Link possess the spirit of the Triforce of Courage, this was awakened in him before his hundred year rest when he gave everything to protect Zelda. He had long since proved his courage, but he had not proven to himself, or anyone who was chosen to rule a Divine Beast, or even Zelda that he was in fact courageous. He was a bit cocky with his sword skills, but talented, and still head strong about his abilities. He was still trying to figure his own life out. Thus the last stand where he essentially gave his life for Zelda awakened the spirit of the Triforce of Courage within him which aided him in his ability to return ( because I refuse to believe that there were not other powers at play for that journey okay its a long freaking journey ).
Link prefers a bow and arrows to a sword ( this comes from artwork of him for the game and his BOTW amiibo where he is pictured with a bow and arrow in action over a sword, its also my preference of a weapon ). This will get its own huge headcanon because I need to discuss Link’s power in general and skill when it comes to combat. But Link prefers the bow to the sword. He always has and he always will. It could be seen as a sign of weakness because archers are stationed farther back, Link often feels that way. But its also a sign of caution, and often archers are the first line of defense in a great battle. Link’s skill with a bow and arrow like with a sword are unmatched. He prides himself on his skill with a bow, and if he’s going to get cocky, its going to be in a contest about his archery skills, not about his sword skills ( look at all the archery mini games ). This also stems from the fact that often times to defeat Ganon in many games including BOTW a bow is needed, not just a sword which is typically used to seal Ganon away. Link’s archery skills are crucial to him not only be a well rounded knight and guard for Zelda, but they are crucial to him. He enjoys archery, and the competition of it, that comes easier than the competition of close combat. Link’s free time can often be spent with him doing archery, where his training is often sword focused. Its complicated as to why he really prefers the bow to the sword, but he does.
Link is physically very powerful which is why he can go up against the likes of Ganon whether Ganon has his Triforce piece or not. I see this discussed in many theory videos. Link’s ability to parry attacks from Guardians, and Lionels is unmatched and potentially inhuman ( which fine Link technically isn’t a human ). His sheer amount of raw power he has behind his blows and his skills show us a very dangerous side of Link. Luckily he isn’t so easily manipulated himself. He has a strong mind. This goes back to the Triforce thing in order to wield a piece of it, regardless if you make it imbalanced or not, you have to have elements of the other two pieces. Anyways, Link’s raw power is very much on par with that of Ganon. That however does not mean he should ever wield that part of the triforce. It takes alot to hold back that power. Link uses it only when he needs to and never any more or any less.
Link never returned the feelings of love to Mipha. Link and Mipha are complicated. But I will state that Link never returned the romantic feelings Mipha clearly had for him. He saw her more like a sister than anything. He had love for her, but not the romantic kind. He cared deeply for her, but not in the way she probably wished he did. This isn’t because he loved Zelda ( which he likely did, though at that time its a bit more wishy washy on what his feelings were ) it was more that he just did not feel the same way. He also had a duty to Zelda and the kingdom. I often see that if he did not have the duty he would be with her, and I disagree. They had known each other as kids, she was often healing him, for him it was always a bond of friendship.
Link before and after taking his personal oath of silence still never talked much. Link is known to be a bit sassy. But whether he has taken his oath of silence or not, Link still was not the most talkative. When he was, it was sass usually. He was never one to egg on partners, but he definitely was a bit cocky when it came to beating them. He was no stranger to injury either, he got hurt. He always gets hurt it seems. But back to the point. During his time as Zelda’s guard, and then during the game Link is mostly quiet asking short questions or not talking at all ( as in the memories ). Even after the game when he no longer has this vow, he still doesn’t talk much. But he does, and if he is not being a bit of a smart ass, and he cares for you, or knows you well you will get to see a side of him not many do get to see, and its a treasure all on its own.
Link’s preferred method of travel is horseback. He prefers horseback to walking. Blame it on always having to walk everywhere, or behind Zelda often. Link just prefers riding. He loves his horse, and dotes on her. He and Epona share a very special bond. Speaking of, Link does in fact have Epona. Link loves to ride, for him it is very freeing. Its also fun, and gives him a chance to be a bit cocky which lets be real he’s going to take that chance.
Link can play a few instruments. While not touched on in BOTW except for some concept art, any many of the games Link has the ability to learn how to play instruments quickly and with proficiency. Often, and most famously this is the Ocarina. He is proficient in the harp as well. But I would argue that his favorite instrument is actually a flute which is in the same family as an Ocarina but has a softer and more melodic tone than the Ocarina. Link is also very good at whistling, which while not an instrument is still technically musical.

oc meme info: ellinor trevelyan
thank you for the tag, @veridium-bye​!! i’ll tag @a-shakespearean-in-paris​ @gingerbreton​ @occorner​ @trvelyans​ @dickeybbqpit​ @mocha-writes​ @ladymdc​
BASICS
full name: ellinor aria trevelyan
gender: woman
sexuality: straight
family: ellinor is the youngest daugher of bann jaime trevelyan and rosalind treveylan. she has a twin brother, avery, and three older sisters, bryony, lyssa, and reilly.
pronouns: she/her
OTHER
birthplace: ostwick, born 9:15 dragon
job(s): she was more or less expected to become a socialite like her sisters, lyssa and reilly (because she definitely wasn’t going to follow bryony and become a templar). pre-inquisition, she spent her time idly, either being courted, playing harp during chantry sermons, or riding her horse, whinny. so the inquisition was definitely a step up lol.
phobias: they’re more fears than phobias, but she’s afraid of rodents or rodent-like creatures (sorry, nugs), as well as mabari, at least until she has time to warm up to them.
guilty pleasures: drinking and dancing at the herald’s rest. she’s a bit of a lightweight and can get carried away if no one’s keeping an eye on her.
hobbies: reading, horseback riding, dancing (as mentioned). she’s also skilled at the harp and asks maryden for lute lessons once they reach skyhold.
MORALS
morality alignment: lawful neutral/good. she has a strong moral compass and sticks to it, but whether her choices are truly “good” or maybe selfish could be left up to interpretation.
bad qualities: she’s very slow to trust and slow to forgive. she tends to make very quick first impressions of people and let those define her impression of them for a very long time, sometimes unfairly. she’s strong-willed and can be narrow-minded, sometimes not wishing to listen to those who oppose her.
good qualities: confident, eloquent, will stay very calm under pressure. when she does come to trust someone, she will love them with her whole heart. she is fiercely protective of those who are her friends.
THIS OR THAT?
introvert / extrovert
organized / disorganized
close-minded / open-minded
calm / anxious / restless
disagreeable / agreeable / in between
cautious / reckless / in between
patient / impatient
outspoken / reserved
leader / follower / flexible
empathetic / unempathetic
optimistic / pessimistic / realistic (a mix of both)
traditional / modern / in between
hard-working / lazy / unmotivated
RELATIONSHIPS:
OTP: ellinor x cullen (or as i sometimes think to myself, “cullinor”). they are complete opposites and enemies when they first meet. it has a lot to do with first impressions--ellinor wants nothing to do with a templar and cullen looks at her as an incapable noblewoman. they end up being exactly what the other needs: cullen provides ellinor a sense of stability and support that she never received from her own family, and ellinor gives cullen the determination and strength he needs to atone and to recover.
acceptable ships: kinda rylen because she loves a man who can get his hands dirty to get the job done (and that just screams rylen ok??? also might have a headcanon that while she’s running away from her cullen feelings, she might get a little flirty with rylen and maybe he gives her a tattoo but then he’s like lass i’m not the one for you and then she goes back to cullen idk) buuuuuuuut no one else ahahaha oops. i mentioned in a recent ask post that the only other person who shares the qualities she comes to love in cullen (personal growth, desire to atone for past, dedication, etc.) would be blackwall, but she sees him more as a father/uncle figure and it would be weird to ship them.
OT3: none
BroTP: ellinor + josie, ellinor + sera, and ellinor + dorian
NOTP: besides ellinor x blackwall, for reasons already stated? ellinor x solas. she has a lot of respect for his knowledge, but she’s very outspoken and narrow-minded about some things and doesn’t always have the patience to take his advice or to learn about matters that seem faraway to her. also, you know. solas only wants that good good lavellan love. no room for trevelyans in his heart lmao

—— ❝ tell us, what kind of person are you ?? ❞
[ star sign ] Aries
[ alignment ] Neutral evil
[ enneagram type ] The challenger
[ color personality ] you are firebrick #B22222 Your dominant hue is red... you are passionate, energetic, and unafraid of life's changes. You're all about getting out and trying something new, even if it means taking risks that other people would be afraid of. Hey, if they're afraid and you're not, more power to you, right? Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.
[ what plant(s) best represent you ]
Dandelion: Scrappy and tough, you’re a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of person. You don’t give up easily and you often thrive in situations that others would find discouraging. You have an instinct to serve others and see yourself as most useful in times or places of crisis, but you may over rely on your toughness and forget how sensitive you really are.
Nettle:  Truly a nurturing and supportive friend, you’re the kind of person that just isn’t for everyone. But those who take the time are rewarded with your gentle disposition, and the kind of friendship that does a person good no matter the difficulty they’re facing. When out of balance, you can become more prickly than supportive or nurturing, though—a sign that you need to shower yourself with the same kind of nurturing you so freely give to others.
Slippery Elm:  Let’s just say you’re a vocal person. Sure, that might mean you’re chatty. But it also means you’re the one humming in the hallway, singing in the shower, speaking your mind, standing up and shouting if need be to get yourself heard. You’ve got a voice and you know how to use it. Inclined to speak up for the voiceless, defend the defenseless or simply bring joy to the joyless, you may have a tendency to overuse your voice.
[ theme/character song ] Bad Reputation by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
—— ❝ do you have anything more you wish to say ?? ❞
Clara lives in the now.  She doesn’t like to think about her future, in fact, she’s petrified of it.  She knows that as a woman, she’ll probably just be used as pawn, married of as a strategic move.  She doesn’t care for that, so she does what she wants now while she’s still free.
She may seem like an outgoing person, but really Clara is actually quite introverted.  She’d spend time with herself than with others.  When she does have to send time with people, she makes sure there is enough alcohol to get herself through the situation.
Clara has no filter.  She’ll say what she wants when she wants to, and has no problem telling people off.
