2, 3, 4 gothi also are you taking sands characters
omg hi circular o/ sorry for the wait i did enjoy my trip :DD god help me with my sunburn tho. anyway omg gothi!!
2 . if there was one thing i had to pick, i’d say her stoicism/monotony. despite the fact she’s living in a very unstructured environment, the opposite of the foreclaimer society she came from, and to be on the brink of being kicked out of and disgraced by and harmed by that foreclaimer society, she still is one, and that cannot change. does she miss her home? her family? did she have friends other than xanu? does she miss them? does she think that despite it all, her “defective” empathy being demonized, she still would like to remember? when she saw rachaka, did she have a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, it would be a little bit like the old home that she missed that was decimated by her oldest friend? or does she think that place kind of sucked but miss her parents and the food? we don’t know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ basically, her whole backstory as well as foreclaimer race
3 . the most inconvenient aspect of her character is her friendship with xanu. xanu himself is a whole tangle that im not confident will be untangled considering the fact he has a status as a joke character in the interval between regicide and their emotional moment, which, for what he is, isn’t great. i feel like there’s an incongruence that should be addressed with xanu wanting to commit genocide and kill thousands of people, and him also just being gothi’s comic relief friend. but that’s a gripe with xanu’s character, not gothi. i hope they address this sooner than later. sorry for the negative nander moment lol
4 . honestly, i feel like she belongs in a very, very old epic akin to gilgamesh where she goes on a solo journey to reveal different aspects of her character (definitely with a different motive tho lol). i’m imagining illustrations like the ones we saw on the foreclaimer tapestries and her meeting another defective foreclaimer with parallels to old gothi handing her their power crystal they took out as their own choice, so they could enjoy life to the fullest and try to escape the clutches of foreclaimer society. basically, emotional solo adventure with jawbone moments.
to ur last question, im sorry,, i haven’t even looked in the direction of fools gold sands. i’m considering listening to it in the future, but eh. don’t count on it. apologies for the inconvenience. it looks really good from what i’ve seen of it actually, i might try to draw rooster.
in conclusion: RAD!! there’s so many things you can do with her character design too, like with her mask (something like the one she had at the celebration maybe, idk i just thought it was pretty) there’s also a lot you can do with the components of her design. her swamp aesthetic is so cool and i love how even when she’s fancy she still goes barefoot. thank you for letting me ramble, and sorry again for the wait
