Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

Hello again! I am so excited. I'll definitely be bringing back my old character, although it will be sad to play her without Potato starring opposite :(

May I recommend for the newcomers that they take a gander at some of the old threads? I think seeing the posts there will help people get the general feel of the story and whatnot. Plus, it's just a damn good read.

If you want to check them out, they're here and here.

EDIT: And here!

Also, who's up for a discord server? who says not everything needs a discord server

bio

Bio:
Lienna was born to a poor single mother outside a Gem village in the far North, where the land never thawed and the sea, a blanket of ice. Though they were Water gems, just like almost everyone in the village, they were outcasts; the harshly logical townspeople thought Lienna's mother a fool for not drowning her child when she showed signs of beauty. They believed that beautiful daughters brought the Drakken upon the village, thus more likely to Reap from them again, and believed that killing a beautiful infant was more humane a fate than the possibility of being Reaped. In hindsight, Lienna believes that they may have been right.

From the get-go Lienna was taught to be self-reliant, not out of necessity, but out of her mother’s need to have a child who could fare well on her own. Looking back, Lienna figures that her mother saw the Reaping coming, and predicted that she may be chosen. She loved her daughter with all her might, however, and did her best to teach her how to be strong. “A strong woman makes choices to improve her life and the lives of others, no matter what those choices may be,” she’d always said, “A strong woman will never give up, not even when all hope is lost and everything is dark and broken.”

The village in which they lived was very religious, and Lienna and her mother were no different. They held strong faith with Naia, the goddess of Water, patron of Water Gems. Her mother taught her many things about her goddess and her faith, but perhaps the most resounding of her mother's lessons was this:

"Water always finds a way."

This became a mantra for Lienna as she faced life’s natural challenges, but never did she truly understand what those words meant until the Reaping.
On the day she was taken, Lienna shared tearful goodbyes with her mother, and while she loathed the idea of becoming a bride to a monster, her mother convinced her to go willingly. Lienna obeyed, knowing that it would be easier on everyone if she cooperated. However, her mother did leave her one remnant of home: into Lienna’s hands she thrust a tiny ivory statue of an owl with shining amethyst eyes.

Lienna identifies with water in every sense. She has always been calm and as wise as a young lady can be without age to help her, stoic but gentle with a harsh, yet tolerant temper. She has always taken life's challenges in stride, with the phrase in her mind, "Water always finds a way."

Other:
Lienna has some trouble with reading and numbers, as she never had the opportunity to go to school or access many books. Her preferred use of her elemental magic is freezing water into ice.

@Obscene Symphony

Naaah, make the sleep-deprived decision and joiiiiiin usssssss. Mwahahaha

Understandable. We'd love to have you if you can fit it into your schedule, and if you can't now, I'm sure we kind make room for you in a later ark if you find yourself freeing up. Just let us know when you can, as you can see OOC is only about to go up now, so you still have some time to decide.

@WeepingLiberty

Ugh, this is why I love you guys <3 I missed this group!!

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

@WeepingLiberty You know I’d love to! But alas, as eager as I am I might need to wait until I’ve had some sleep before I can decide if I can fit it into my schedule. I’ll do my very best!

♡ Just another person looking for people for RP ♡ Hetero pairings inside. ♡ May consider F x F ♡

Holy damn that’s a lot of plots! A few have already caught my eye. It’s almost 2am, but these will make for fun reading tomorrow!

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

@WeepingLiberty I am so angry at the Guild! It didn’t send me the ping!!!!! If I hadn’t stumbled on this by accident I never would have known!!

To be the Children of Monsters.

I'm gonna keep my eye on this one, specifically because I know that open world-ish RPs like this can generally support more players than plot-driven ones. ^_^

@shamrocknroll@ineffably@Obscene Symphony@knifeman@Akayaofthemoon

You guys still interested? I know the Guild has been down, but there has been radio silence before then.

@TheRedWatcher

I hope so.

@AngelofOctober

I'm sorry this looks fun but I'm drowning a bit over here. Have fun!

Aurelia didn’t hear much of the conversation after she gave her obligatory reply. A painful knot was forming in her throat, and her vision grew watery as she looked absently around the hall, drawn to the simplest amendments, things she’d seen hundreds (if not thousands) of times. She was suddenly very aware of how many eagles graced the walls; she found herself looking at the House banners differently, focusing on spots her eyes usually slipped over. Even the ancient masonry seemed new.

This hall was but one small piece of her home. She’d always found it boring, a place where entitled peasants shouted their endless complaints and monotonous business was carried out. Her home, the castle, felt so familiar. She felt as if she knew every inch of it. But, she wondered, had she even seen it all? Every room? Every corridor? She doubted if she’d even seen every servant.

When she left, all she’d have of this place would be memories. Were they even complete to begin with?

Her stomach turned, and tears threatened to fall. She had to stare at the bright windows to dry them.

All she’d ever heard of Sommerfirth were horror stories. How the land was charred as if by some massive fire, never to recover; how monsters of indescribable horror marauded through the country. She’d been told stories by her impish brother Erwin about how the people of Sommerfirth were horrid, warmongering brutes, who threw malformed babies from cliffs and ate the hearts of their fallen enemies.
