to do, relationships
i feel like i should have some pictures or descriptions of the visiting family buuuut
too busy
update!
to do, relationships, added a sentence or two about that ball gown under the appearance section
Some descriptions of our visitors even though it's pretty much too late:
Tuan - he's the eldest of all of Lien's siblings, though he might not always look like it because he's shorter than Khanh. He makes up for it by wearing a serious expression or a scowl often, and also by styling his hair back into a quiff, exposing his receding hairline. Which can make anyone look older, height be damned. He has a slender frame, wears tan shorts, blue or green tunics, sensible loafers. Clean shaven. Severe, short tempered, stubborn, and always wanting to prove himself. His name is pronounced like 'twin'.
Khanh - second eldest of all of Lien's siblings, but to be precise, he's the only sibling in between Tuan and Lien. Younger than Tuan only by a year, so it can be hard to discern which brother is the eldest. Especially because Khanh has a muscular frame and is the tallest. And also because Khanh tends to be the most diplomatic of his siblings, as he's quite used to settling their fights, and it gives him an air of maturity. He wears dark slacks with a dark vest, red tunics with low necklines, and boots with points at the feet. A lock of his fringe is lightly curled, he has a goatee. Light-hearted, calm, often compliant, and unable to feel any love towards his own daughter. His name rhymes with "darn", the last h is silent.
Thao - Khanh's three-year-old daughter, Lien and Tuan's niece. Wears a simple blue blouse and shorts, her hair is kept out because attempts to tie it up failed after she figured out how to untie ribbons. Carries a stuffed monkey with long knitted arms that she can wrap things with like a scarf. Fond of piggy back rides, eats a diet almost exclusively consisting of hard-boiled eggs. The h in her name is silent too, making the pronunciation rhyme with cow.
update!
relationships,
to do,
general formatting of the top section- lien doesn't really introduce herself as 'singer, lutist, beautiful woman' anymore, probably because she's becoming something else, so the glitter text had to change!!! I probably won't keep it as 'wink' but it's good enough for now. and then i had to adjust all the other stuff to make it look all visually balanced.
i also idk, added the ball gown to the appearance section and added some more notes to personality about how self-improvement kinda plays on lien's fragile self-esteem
i probably should update the skills so it includes... whatever skills her new job requires, but i have no idea how to go about that ^u^'
i'll be returning lien over the next few days if that's ok
it'll be brief though because i think i'm putting the character on a very long pause, if not retiring the character completely
idk, i think about where i wanna take her a lot but nothing feels right or just interesting to do while still being lien, and the longer i leave it the less it makes sense
i have reasons set up for why her return has taken so long, and basically i want her to come back to wrap up goodbyes and collect her things, etc
if i have to do a proper return post i will, but the jist of it will be that Lien's older brother Khanh has committed suicide, which has changed her outlook enough to make her want to take music more seriously. So she's going to travel the realm with her other older brother Tuan and perform alongside him as a musical act.
there may be some npcing for the return since Tuan and family will be involved but it'll probs be super minor, as in, they'll keep to the background
if there's any problems with this staff pls let me know
