i made a new ref for Kam, but i’m gonna rename her (again) and call her Keithia because it’s pretty and means ‘Forest’ or ‘Wood’. 

her back marking looks like an eye or feather/leaf- 

also i’m keeping the heart marking on her chest!!

[islanderscaper]

Get to know a character: 3, 13, 21, 40, 48 for Keithia, 12, 18, 28, 35, 49 for Araseli, 1, 15, 20, 33, 50 for Caela and 2, 14, 19, 30, 44 for Skylar.

Keithia

03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?

Probably her hair. She’s always been pretty fond of the color of it. It is, in many ways, probably the most noticeable thing about her and stands out among all the greens and browns that she tends to wear.

13. What are your character’s sleeping habits? Heavy or light sleeper? Blanket stealer? One that always rolls onto the floor? Pushes their lover onto the floor? Sleep talker or walker?

She’s fairly light sleeper, but not necessarily restless (unless her nightmares have gotten really bad). She stays pretty still through the night and prefers to sleep curled up next to her cat.

21. What is one of your character’s biggest fears? How would they react when dealing with this fear?

The more tame and somewhat ridiculous of her two more prominent fears is butterflies. She can handle them fine once she has made sure that they aren’t like the Death Butterflies that attacked her in the dragon’s cave. 

Her bigger fear right now is dying, particularly by her friends’ hands, and she isn’t sure if or how she could possibly handle it. 

She’s also a bit afraid of being stuck in any really closed space, especially if there isn’t any obvious way out. She needs to be reassured a bit that it is safe and see that Irusan is unbothered by it (he is the best emotional support panther)

40. Does your OC have any guilty pleasures they enjoy? Hobbies, past times, music, etc that they wouldn’t want known by others?

Not really? Thia is pretty boring in general. She doesn’t exactly have many hobbies and certainly none that she feels guilty or embarrassed for.

48. Is there anything in particular that would ignite your character’s jealousy? Or does your character not get envious?

She can get jealous, not that she’s likely to admit it. It doesn’t happen often, but something like, say, watching a certain someone makeout with other people will get her suddenly very interested in rebraiding her hair or studying a very interesting spot on the ceiling. 

Araseli

12. Is there some particular talent, skill, or attribute that they simply could not give up?

Araseli could never give up her magic. It’s intrinsically who she is and she is too proud of it to ever go without it.

18. What kind of home would they want to live in? Where would they place this abode?

Araseli would like to have a large castle or mansion situated somewhere she can overlook people under her rule. Ideally, she’d like her family home back, but she’s no quite prepared to take it yet. 

28. If your character became a celebrity, what would they be famous for?

She wants to be famous for being nobility, but otherwise she could probably make a living as an actress or other performer.

35. Is your character afraid of death? If they got to choose how to die, how would they want to go?

She wasn’t for a long time and she still isn’t, really. She’s more irritated by the whole idea generally. If she got to choose, she would probably die old and with a lot of power after a lengthy reign over whatever territory she had. 

49. What is something that your character has nightmares about? Are these frequent? Do they heavily affect your character’s mood?

Araseli doesn’t really have nightmares often. When she does, they are about the night she left her home and all they every really do is make her angry and more determined than usual. 

Caela

01. What does your character’s name mean? Did you pick it for the symbolism, or did you just like the way it sounded?

I actually had to look it up and apparently it means ‘slender’. It wasn’t really chosen for any reason. Originally our high school game was just a one shot that we weren’t given much information on beforehand, so we were building characters on the spot. Caela was just a pretty sounding name that popped into my head, so I rolled with it. 

15. Is there a certain person in this world that they cannot stand? The very mention of this person’s name makes them tremble with anger or fear.

I don’t think so, no. She’s had petty teenager grudges against people before, but never anyone that she absolutely hates. She lives the righteous anger and revenge to Celandine for the most part. 

20. Does your character like animals? What are some of their favorite animals? Would they want pets? 

She does. Not as much as Onion, but animals are fine by her. She likes dogs and most birds, but particularly hunting birds like owls or hawks. She also loves fish and has a home aquarium of various unique looking ones. 

33. If your character wanted to be alone, where would they go?

Probably just up to her room. Her parents likely wouldn’t bother her much if she really seemed like she wanted to be alone.

50. If your character confessed love to their crush, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc, what would they say?

There probably wouldn’t be a whole lot of words said. Some stammering before just blurting it out and then looking exceptionally embarrassed would be more Caela’s MO. 

Skylar

02. What is one of your character’s biggest insecurities? Are they able to hide it easily or can others easily exploit this weakness?

Despite how sure of it she is, Skylar’s biggest insecurity is probably her intelligence. She knows she’s not nearly as naturally intelligent as her reputation makes her out to be and though she thinks she is very knowledgeable, she can get perhaps obviously insecure when other people successfully challenge her intelligence.

14. Do they live alone or with family? How do they feel about their family/roommates?

Currently, Skylar is travelling so she doesn’t really live anywhere. She has companions in Esther and Tommy though. While she was at school, she lived in student housing with roommate that she got along with, but wasn’t really close to. Prior to that, she lived in an inn run by her parents in a trading village. 

19. Would your character be the kind to get into fights? (physical or verbal) Would they be a good fighter or cave in rather easily?

Not normally. She’d be more likely to try and de-escalate things first if she can. However, if that’s not an option, she will start using some of her magic or her dagger to defend herself. 

30. When it comes to the arts (music, film, theater, etc), what does your character like?

Books the most of any form of the arts. She loves reading and searching for written information. She does also enjoy theater performances though.

44. Is there a particular event that would emotionally devastate your character?

Failure in her main goals, maybe. Being caught and persecuted for the subterfuge she does in her work and bringing her like minded faction down with her. Being known for that forever more than anything else. Though she disagrees with the political structure within the church at times, she is far from heretical and would be very hurt to ever be painted as such.

OC fact swap: Keithia’s birthdays have generally been either pretty busy or not really anything at all. Since it falls in the middle of a festival week, if they were near a town at the time then Aasim would treat her to basically anything she wanted. If they were travelling, it was a much quieter day, if they did anything for it at all. Her two birthdays with the party have more or less followed this pattern, one spent in a town and the other quiet and in a skyship travelling.

Whisper hasn’t really celebrated her birthday since leaving home, and even then it was overshadowed by a holiday. It’s gotten to the point where she barely recognizes it. This year, she spent it a library, researching and practicing a spell, and remembered days later that she was older.

Which is fine. Because getting older isn’t an accomplishment. Everyone does that. Growing stronger though? Getting closer to her goal? That is. She’ll celebrate when she has something to celebrate.

WIP Line Chain Game

I was tagged by @amberskywrites @dontcrywrite and @notwritinganyflufftoday so because of that I'm going to do the last three lines in one post.

Rules: Write the latest line from your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the line.

The girl wanders from the town that has been built from the ground in the distance, a bump on the horizon, backlit by setting sun like a halo of wrath.

She has been tense, waiting for a siege to start march, for humans to come with their fire and their fury and burn her just for living. What arrives, though, is a girl with a basket and round face and soft hands; a human Keithia does not believe could be a threat.

That's... 82 words, oh boy. Tumblr started breaking once I got to the mid forties, so I'm tagging 41 people, 2 for each word. I hope that's alright.

Character Introduction: Keithia

“You will regret that,” she tells the air between them.

Role: Protagonist, Guardian of a Haven.

Personality: Protective, Stubborn, Gentle

Keithia’s life is simple. Caring for the whole of a forest is difficult work, even with its wellbeing thrumming under her skin, but difficult does not mean complex. She keeps her woods healthy, keeps moving, stays… content. Peaceful. She does not see what else life could have to offer.

And then, from the bump forming on the horizon, comes a girl. A human.

Things stop being simple.

She befriends the human, despite the warning humming in her bones that she is dangerous. She does not seem as such, seems kind, seems gentle, seems harmless. Even before asked, the girl watches where she places her feet as she takes in the haven with wonder.

As if it is something beautiful, otherworldly.

And it shouldn't, probably, but it lights a warmth in Keithia's chest that bids her approach, and she does. She's never met a human before, never had a friend and it's... something she wants, even if old instinct cautions her to keep distance. This is one human, one girl.

What harm could come from a friend?

Underwing Challenge Day 3

Who is your main cast? Describe as many of your OCs as you can cram into one post.

Soulwood has three main characters (and kind of just three characters in general oop)

The first is our POV and true main, Keithia. She’s a Guardian — someone who is made to protect magical havens. That’s her purpose. She tends to her forest and keeps the magic in it calm, keeps things that dare disturb the balance away and, against better judgement, welcomes a human into her home, fueled by her own loneliness and the other’s gentle grief.

The next is... an odd one. I’ve taken to calling her The Girl With No Name (TGWNN for short) she does not have a name and that’s a Thing. She is the daughter of a Governess(?) who lives in a new town built close to Keithia’s forest. She’s restless in her home, driven near mad by boredom and sneaks out one night to a forest she’s been warned from, sitting on the horizon like a mirage.

Nile is the third. He’s. His role is a little washy, might change in the next draft. But he lives in the same town as TGWNN, just years later, when it’s more established. He comes from a large, poor family. He befriended Keithia when he was young and he knows she’s magic in some way, it’s something he pretends to be ignorant on. He pretends it even when he drafts himself into the Kings army — an army often sent to eradicate things of magic, led by fearful King’s order.

Find The Word Tag 4

Thanks for the tag @mel-writes-with-her-dragons! I'd caught up with these just about and I have a surplus of people I can tag in these now. I have to find the words hope, peace, morning and silence. These are all from Soulwood.

Hope

If she was involved—

The pieces begin to slot together. It’s a horrible puzzle, a horrible solution, but it’s an answer that she can reach. It is something she can do that has a hope of working.

“Please,” she whispers, her heart chilling over.

Peace

She lets them flutter to the floor and stares at the sky.

It’s blue and bright. What she’s heard village people refer to as a perfect day. There’s a few wisps of clouds drifting across the expanse and it’s peaceful, things considered.

It doesn’t match the atmosphere. The coming fight.

Morning

He whirls around. He’s older now, as is she, though she doesn’t particularly look it. His chin is shadowed with the threat of a beard incoming. Her hair is to her waist. His emerald eyes (the ones she’s compared to the brightest leaves at the start of spring countless times) glimmer like morning dew as he glares.

Silence

“I know.” She opens her fingers and lets his hand fall from hers. More leaves drift to the floor, only just starting to yellow.

He looks away. “Yeah.”

She swallows.

They stand in silence. A few flowers turn brown on the edge of their petals.

I will tag @chiefest-and-greatest-calamity @lexiklecksi @avaeverstone @cracked-pean @andiwriteunderthemoon @jesterlaughingstock to find the words danger, moon, wish and miss.

Underwing Challenge Day 5

What’s your favorite excerpt from this WIP so far?

I don’t want to reshare an excerpt I’ve already shared, so have a different bit.

“Stay the night.”

Keithia blinks. Her mind says don’t. She’s never been away from her forest for that long. It says you need to protect it. You can’t leave it unguarded. It is your duty to keep it safe. Some would think she argues with logic — nothing has ever happened before, why would it tonight?

That’s not why she agrees.

She agrees because her heart says yes. It warms in her chest, a pleasant feeling and whispers stay. You want to. You can. Just say yes.

It will be because of this moment that she learns to listen to her head. But that comes later.

“Yes,” she whispers.

This is the moment she listens to her heart. This is the night the purple flowers bloom.

Soulwood Scribble: Last Meeting

I’m thinking of getting into the habit of posting non-canon and/or behind the scene writings as scribbles like I post (or am trying to post) thrown out bits as lost lines.

This is also prompted by flash fiction friday's prompt, "last time". This is 500 words of bitter information. Mostly prose, no dialogue (can you tell I don't like writing dialogue?) but there's quite a bit written between the lines here. Happy reading!

*****

The last time Keithia sees the vessel of her heart, neither of them speak. The air feels oppressive, like thick clouds on her tongue. There are words in there, pleas and apologies and explanations -- things she should say, probably. But there are clouds in her mouth and she is not strong enough to speak through the smog.

She tries to swallow it, fill her lungs with the water logged air but all of it is stuck in her throat, clogging her voicebox with the worst jumble of words she cannot bear to put to reality. The apologies beating at her ribs are true, aside from the fact that if things could be changed, Keithia wouldn’t change anything that fixes the gulf crammed in the small distance between them.

If time went back, Keithia is sure she’d sooner turn her away than lose everything just so she could keep her.

That knowledge sits heavy within her, heart mimicking the flat stone where their lips had first brushed each other, where Keithia’s grip on her own heart started to loosen, reaching for hers instead.

That had been a mistake, in hindsight.

She parts her lips to say something -- a goodbye that is not so heavy as the last, softer words not tainted by fear, but nothing comes. The only words bashing against her bones are untrue platitudes. She is not deserving of that, even now, with their past all marred in blood. She sighs instead and the girl she’s beginning not to love offers a tremulous smile.

It does not mend the gap any. Nothing would, Keithia thinks. She lifts her chin, keeping her eyes on the girl and not the surly boy behind her, tense and displeased. It was not Keithia’s idea, this, but the girl had approached her woods and Keithia could not let her enter, not anymore, not again.

She doesn't know why she came, what she thinks there was to gain from this. She scowls and narrows her eyes, a silent threat for her to leave. She was not welcome anymore.

There is something brimming in the girl’s eyes, something tumultuous and lost. Her face falls a little, eyes still cold, still chilled by that night, by choices both of them made. Her chin lowers and she turns, accepting Keithia’s hostility, remembering it too, perhaps, unwilling to fight it.

Keithia drops her shoulders and stares at her retreating back. A part of her heart not yet stoned off trembles. Is she really letting it end like this?

What other way was there? Their convictions were known and shaping everything into words would not remake all the horrors that tore them apart. Everything they needed to know was known and breath would not reshape anything into anything that changes this. This is how things were and this was how it was all doomed to end.

Maybe it was good, though, to see her again. When things were more peaceful and her vision was clear.

Maybe that’s why she came.

*****

I quite like this, actually. And yes, I am way too proud that it's 500 words exact, I wasn't watching word count at all so it was a happy surprise :D

jade, amber and peridoit for the gem asks?? :)

You know what? I’m gonna defy expectations and answer for Soulwood (even though I haven’t worked on it in forever). Thanks for the ask! :)

Jade: Your favorite relationship between two characters

Keithia and TGWNN! It’s got Vibes, especially with how the past sections with them are written.

Amber: Something you learned from writing your wip

That worldbuilding is only fun until I have to do it. (Aka I need to worldbuild Keithia’s forest and havens in general and I’ve been avoiding it and that’s why I haven’t worked on it in forever).

Peridot: What is your protagonist’s greatest strength / weakness

Keithia’s greatest strength would be her determination, probably. And her weakness… trusting too easily, maybe?

First Spoken Lines Tag (Soulwood)

Thanks for the tag @dontcrywrite! I’m doing this for Soulwood as that’s new and Ocean’s Heart is literally just them saying hello. This is also all due to change as second draft makes headway.

Keithia

“You can’t do that,” she says, voice thin in her attempt not to scream.

Nile

“Why not?” His voice is deeper, a threat, and it only makes her curl her lip. He doesn’t scare her. She’s dealt with bears.

She has the scars and muscles to prove it.

The Girl With No Name (TGWNN)

“Come with me,” she says one day, their fingers entangled. “Come to my home.”

Find The Word Tag 10

I was tagged by @dragon-with-a-pen and @raevenlywrites to find the words true, help, light, dream, tonight, girl and abandon. Thanks to both of them for the tag!

True (Soulwood)

Humans are dangerous.

Keithia does not believe this true of every human. By the time it gets put to practice, the words are soft, more of a gentle lullaby than a terse alarm. Not every human is dangerous. Some are kind.

(And some, even more, are both. Those words have not made themselves fit in the hollow of her bone and thus are gone unnoticed, lavender snug between her molars. This warning was left, but lost and she does not know. She does not know that some humans will be kind to her and mean it and try to ruin her despite it.)

Help (Soulwood)

Keithia turns. Grips the girl’s forearms. “Come with me,” she says, an echo of when the girl had said the same thing. There is the same amount of danger in the plea. “Help me.”

The girl pulls away. “I can’t.”

Light (Ocean's Heart Sea Vers)

She sighs, lounged deep in the sea where light has never been and will never be. As centuries pass her, she’s only grown more bored, undeveloped of patience so many others preach.

Dream (Ocean's Heart Sailor Vers)

“Calypso,” he greets.

Her mouth curls up as her eyes narrow. “Who bestowed you the acclaim of addressing me so casually?” Her right hand gravitates to her hip. His mouth goes dry.

“No one with any divinity,” he says.

“Has anyone with divinity ever granted you anything?” Her words are careful, a challenge embedded deep within, subtle like a dream half forgotten. But Davy Jones is no fool, recognizes the glint in her eyes, and rises to the test she is laying before him.

“No,” he answers with the same amount of care, holding the goddess' black-as-pitch gaze.

Tonight (Soulwood)

Some would think she argues with logic — nothing has ever happened before, why would it tonight?

Girl (Soulwood)

People say many things about magic. She will learn some of them.

Most of the things that are said will be wrong.

The truth: she is a girl. She was made for her forest the same way it was made for her. Her ears are as round as human’s and her hair is long because she’s never cut it. She is magic and that’s not what defines her. She is magic, but she is still human too.

They are not exclusive things, humanity and magic.

Abandon (Ocean's Heart Sea Vers)

Davy Jones was back at sea.

Her mouth curls. Finally. Some entertainment.

Calling a jet stream to bring her to him is simple, child’s play. It is a loss to abandon the cold of sea’s seat, but Calypso always returns, most comfortable at temperatures even Amphitrite — who is born to and controlling of the deepest parts of sea — shies from. There is comfort in dark and chill, but entertainment is found elsewhere.

I will tag @dontcrywrite @notwritinganyflufftoday @astainedrose @ineedskyecrandall @leavemeandmyshipsalone and @ghostpegasus to find the words control, perfect, manage and exact.
