(These are just some small elements that I've made up over the past couple of days. Nothing particularly coherent yet. But I'll get there eventually! :3)
- Third pillar (more elaboration coming with more world lore)
- Always has some spare lipstick on them because theirs smudges easily.
- Valkyrie isn't the name they were given at birth. They changed it shortly after graduation from the Lyceum.
- They love birds, especially crows. So much so, that their familiar is a raven called N Ivanko or Johann (who sometimes is their voice of reason).
-- > often compares themself (and others if they're fond of shinies) to magpies. Affectionately and with utmost respect.
- Can be quite persuasive.
- N Severely thalassophobic (the visits to places such as Rustport are always a nightmare to them)
- There is no information if they're afab or amab.
- Surprisingly enough, they are secretly very fond of music and enjoy partaking in some heavily non-professional singing.
-- > N oh, and they're not so secretly skilled with the contrabass (and guitar here and there)!
-- > (and I'm definitely not thinking up a way of bringing gramophones into my Universe because of it, not at all-)
- Since the questionable moral compass mentioned previously wasn't acquired - they were... Quite the outcast during their time at the Lyceum, but as time made them wiser and stronger - they learnt to socialise despite it... N Somewhat. Mostly in the professional field.
- Also quite the fan of dancing, especially if regarding dances as a part of different cultures.
-- > humble enjoyer of tango, simply because it's neat, not because of the feelings associated with the dance.
- N Bilingual fluent - in their Esperia's version of English and French. Conversational but not fluent in their Esperia's rendition of Russian.
- Follows no deity. Not openly, at least.
- "I keep my personal and professional lives strictly separated. My duty as Esperia's Messenger is part of the latter." © Valkyrie.
-- > N unsuccessfully tried to convince Cyran (Eden) and Merlin to follow the same mindset.
V/general - Valkyrie does their best to be at least respected by as many as possible.
V/Adamant Syndicate (general) - keeps more or less out of their matters, unless they create conflicts within a fraction. Then they might interfere carefully. (Neutral to slightly negative)
V/Merlin (a.k.a. the Magister) - they both acknowledge each others duties, both arcane and earthly, not much than that. Mutual respect. Strictly professional relationship. (acquainted, neither friendly nor rivaling. Albeit Valkyrie is trying to move it into more friendly territory.(Professional in the sense of: them being the messengers of their respective deities.)
V/Dionel - (if acquainted) drinking buddies. (Very well-acquainted, friendly. Mutual understanding.)
V/Berial - bonded through questionable morals and the occasional need for chaos. (Kinda sorta friendly)
V/Hugin - acquainted during Valkyrie's visit to Rustport for political and arcane matters, of course, bonded over diverse food cultures and mutual loneliness. (Very friendly)
V/Cassadee - met briefly, Cas is curious about them and their magic, but doesn't admire them as much as she does Merlin. (Acquainted, Valkyrie sometimes teaches Cas some neat little everyday magic tricks.)
V/Cyran (Eden) - N ... well, they too acknowledge each other's duties, and as they're both involved in politics - they're kinda sorta colleagues. Keeping in contact, thus being on the good side of one another. Friends even. But the two fell apart, and their relationship soured quickly. It took a toll on Válkyrie. (Ex-friends, "colleagues". Tense relationship after that. Painful 'breakup'.)
N V/Athalia and Scarlita - they despise them both, since they (indirectly) oppose Dura and her reign. (Tense, very different views on the concept of justice.)
N x2 V/Andry and Brana - they were Válkyrie's older siblings, but they both perished in the flames of war within the Empire. The former is a Graveborn, but him and Válkyrie don't have much contact during this arc. The latter is gone forever. N (Neutral to negative, Andry doesn't agree with Valkyrie's radical neutral views and knows they're not a very good person)
V/Windmaedchen - they're a besties. That's it. /silly
(p.s. I'm kinda tempted to open them an ask... Cyran's and Kalix's ones are really tempting me to do so... Help I'm indecisive...)
