Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum - please make sure to include some references to our lore in your response!)
"Your guess is as good as mine" her shoulders bunch up a bit more as an attempt at a shrug is made. She already didn't look the most comfortable but suddenly being asked a question jolts the poor girl back to reality. Her response was bad, if she was more at ease she would have been more cheerful and start a conversation with this woman but some invisible blockage in her mind holds her back for a moment. Interlocking her fingers her arms move up to stretch like a cat, muscles tensing and untensing before shaking her head loose. "Well- okay- I suppose the better answer is a fresh start and new beginnings. But.. I also think that's what everybody probably says. Vague on purpose so that they don't have to live up to their words just yet.."
What follows are more words, an avalanche of them really. Words that tumble into run-a-long sentences that really all mean the same thing. This nervous Arsa Sidhe clearly hasn't left the comfort of home before. The sensation of being terrified of something new while being excited about what's to come perfectly mixes itself when looking into her bright eyes. "I'm hoping to start a business.. i'm hoping there will be all sorts of animals there..." she rattles off counting each point on her finger as if she has to convince this poor woman of something.
"My parents come from very different places so i've never really felt like i've belonged anywhere." tugging some hair behind her pointed ear she sighed for a moment. "My father is from the plains where the Falstoner reside and my mother while orignally living with a lot of other Korami moved in with him... but when they separated I moved with her up west. I'm not really sure if i'm meant to be anywhere really." She paused and looked back over towards the woman. "I am.. so so sorry, this is why I normally have quiet carriage rides. I'm Kore- short for Koriander, my parents sort of had a thing for unique names." She kept the hand extended far to long. Ready to wait forever if it meant finishing this conversation soon.
Character Name: Koriander
Character Race: Half Elf - Arsa Sidhe/Feytouched mother and Nua Sidhe father.
Character Age: Twenty
Brief Physical Description:
Kore inherits a lot of physical traits from her Nua Sidhe father. Leaning far more towards having his round human and afrocentric features mixed with her mother more southeast asian features. Her most unique feature being her auburn red hair. A color that in certain lights can appear mainly brown but brightens to red in sunlight. Her father always having joked that being surrounded by the fey most of her life and that they were 'lucky' she didn't appear with bright red orbs for eyes. Her hair volume and body proportions are where her Arsa Sidhe side really shows through. She's often been mistaken for a very unique looking human girl which at times saddens her with how close she feels to her Korami mother.
