Physical Description

Adopt purchased by me, art by Asgard_Chronicles.

Short and curvy with bluish-green skin and long white hair, KC's roundish face and large pink eyes give her a cutesy feminine charm that she uses to her full advantage whenever possible. Her large floppy ears are expressively mobile, allowing her a wider range of body language communication than humans are capable of. Her smile is another thing altogether however; with her sharp teeth and the way her eyes narrow with cat-like predation makes any expression of genuine glee look as if she's planning on some kind of shenaniganery.

Her clothes are all durable and self-modified to fit her, and most of the time the only real extra adornment she allows herself is the shockingly high quality wizard's hat that she says she got from the person who initially taught her magic.

Personality

Curious, exciteable, and with seemingly little regard for her own safety, KC is the consummate explorer. She often says that she's willing to try almost anything once, and is willing to prove it if questioned. What gets her in the most trouble however is her foul-mouthed tendency to provoke people to see how much she can get away with before she needs to make a hasty retreat. Likewise, her transient living situation means that she has far fewer scruples about things like theft and trickery than those in more stable living conditions might have; though she makes a concerted effort to never take from, swindle, or otherwise inconnvenience anyone who has less than her. Oh and no killing. Gotta have some standards, right? But if she can get a hot meal and a decent bath out of the deal, she's not too proud to do just about any kind of work.

Magic/Abilities

Though her magical education was cut short in a hilarious ball of fire, KC did manage to learn a few things.

She can take parts from magical creatures and make potions that have effects related to that creature. Her most plentiful potion uses goblin spit and makes the drinker invisible for short bursts of time. These potions usually work as intended, but given the incompleteness of her training and her overall lack of a stable brewing space, sometimes they come with unintended side effects.

Likewise she has the most basic grasp of fire magic, allowing her to turn a candle flame into a fireball to hurl at enemies or keep a fire lit under her cauldron even with no wood to burn.

Her hat is a magical artifact that acts like a bag of holding, allowing most of her belongings to fit inside it and only being accessible if you know the activation word.

Finally, she seems like she's blessed by something out there. While not invincible by any stretch, she was once kicked by the pony she uses to pull her caravan and got away with only some moderate bruising. She even recovers a lot faster than you'd expect. This is by far the greatest 'ability' she has when taking any kind of dangerous job.

Relationships

History

KC's life before meeting the mage Duvall was bad. After he took the young goblin in as his magic apprentice, it continued to be bad. KC was convinced for some time that her life would just... be bad. But then fate intervened one day, if by fate you mean that Duvall's workshop turned into a smoldering crater because KC swapped the labels on some of his alchemical reagents. Taking what wasn't a scorched mess, as well as the hat she'd stolen before the workshop went kaboom, she set out on her own to try and make a life that was better for her.

Age 24
Gender Trans Woman (she/her)
Species Human
Ethnicity Serenian
Height 5'11" (180cm)
Occupation Fashion Designer and Seamstress
Residence Arca

__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description

Art commissioned by me from Matte.

Relatively tall with skin on the darker side of what is typical for a Serenian, Jeanette's most striking feature is her hair. Silky waves trail down her back, half fiery red and half icy white. She tells a different story as to how this happened, and no one seems to know the actual truth of it. Her eyes rank second with their blue-green jade coloration. She is typically Serenian in most other ways, having a relatively slender build with delicate features though broader shoulders than one might expect.

Though she adores dressing lavishly and showing off the cavalcade of styles she's learned about, Jeanette tones down her wardrobe among nobility. This apparent act of humility is in fact tactical, as not threatening their status as the best dressed person in the room tends to leave them more pliable and open to her subtler machinations.

Personality

Jeanette is a woman fueled by a love for her craft, an appreciation for experiences foreign to her own, and no small amount of spite. She revels in the fame and prestige that her work earns her and gets no small amount of hedonistic glee in worming her way into high society through her work as a designer and loves prodding those who have wronged her through these social connections. A slight against Jeanette will almost never result in direct retaliation from her specifically, but some seemingly unconnected misfortune or ire from one of her wealthy patrons some months down the line.

Magic/Abilities

Jeanette's main claim to fame is her ability to weave magic into the very fabric she sews. This can produce any number of effects in theory, provided she has the correct reagents and if neccessary access to a mage more knowledgeable in the specific kind of enchantment. Primarily she uses these to make her already fabulous fashion even more ostentatious, but can be called upon for more specific clothing enchantments. Provided you can pay, of course.

Relationships

History

Despite only claiming her Serenian heritage, Jeanette is in fact half-Adelan. Taken to meet her father when she was a child, she and her mother were horrified by his aggressive refusal to acknowledge her as his daughter. Though she has not seen him since that encounter, it sparked an anger in her that she doubts will ever be fully quenched.

Though coming from relatively number beginnings, she made a name for herself when she learned how to enchant thread and fabric. From there, the competitive nature of the Serenian fashion scene saw her rising through the ranks and becoming a household name in the upper echelons of Serenian society.

The death of he mother, though weighing heavily on her, also allowed Jeanette to leave their home in Summervale and move to Arca, where her designs were beginning to come into demand. Here she has gotten a taste of the true good life and the intrigue and societal backstabbing that mingling with nobility entails.

PLAYER WANTS

What are your favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?
I'm a big fan of adventure, drama, and intrigue. But importantly, the slice of life shenanigans that take place in between all of that. In terms of relationships, I can enjoy almost any dynamic though the one I go absolutely feral for is rivals/enemies-to-lovers.

What are your least favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?
Not that I'm against it, but horror writing is not my strong suit. I'm willing to try, just bear with me.

What are your favorite character types to play?
I was going to say I don't have a real character type because I'll play all kinds, but then I remember that I have a whole list of previous OCs who can be boiled down to 'battle blondes.' I'm also a big fan of chessmaster type manipulators.

Are you a planner or a pantser? Do you prefer to pre-plan and stick to a script when posting, or do you prefer to surprise and be surprised?
I'd say I'm about a 40/60 split planner/pantser. I like having a general idea where my characters are going, but I'm usually down to throw wrenches in and see how things work out.

How do you feel about group threads?
They can be fun as long as everyone keeps up with them (including myself). The bigger the group though, the harder it will be for me to stay engaged, generally speaking.

How often can you reply to any given thread? How long should a partner wait before nudging you for a post?
I try to post at least once a day, but sometimes I just get absentminded. If it's been a day or two since you pinged me, just hit me up in DMs and remind me because I might have forgotten.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
I've waited weeks for a reply before. Unless the thread is very important to character development and I don't know how I should play them in subsequent encuounters until I see your reply, take as long as you need.

How do you feel about instant messenger RP?
Honestly doing this in Discord is how I've been doing most of my RP lately.

Ho do you feel about post volleying/rapidfire RP?
When I have the time and spell slots, it's great. Not all the time though, obviously.

What's your preferred posting style? Long posts? Short posts? Anything and everything?
I tend towards 2-3 short-ish paragraphs, but it really depends on the scene and how hard I'm vibing with the character in the moment. My partners can post as much or as little as they want, just don't necessarily expect me to be able to match you blow for blow.

Any RP styles/habits that you love?
Communication about what you want/don't want out of an interaction is so sexy and cool.

Any RP styles/habits that you avoid?
Honestly I know I have a few but they're so specific they hardly come up. If I have an issue, I'll talk to you. Promise.


PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
I'm generally fine with my character being acted upon, so long as I'm given the freedom to dictate within reason what the actual effect is. Like you can punch my character, but I get to broadly decide how much damage it does. In specific situations where I don't think a thing could happen, I'll talk to you about it.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
I'm more or less comfortable with just about any kind of romantic dynamic. IC relationship drama is also fine. The only thing I'll ask is that if we have an IC relationship and you intend to inject some drama, please let me know beforehand. I'm fine with my character being surprised; not myself.

What are your limits with regards to graphic content such as sex, violence, drug use, sexual assault, etc? What is your comfort level?
For my own part, I am broadly comfortable with writing/reading graphic content. My biggest thing is just trying to be respectful to my RP partner's comfort levels, and not trivializing real life issues that people deal with. It also depends on my comfort level with the individual; the better we know each other the more open I am to navigating those kinds of topics in a way that respects both of us and keeps the RP fun.

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?
I'm fine with pregnancy and miscarriage in my plots, absolutely.

What about healing?
Ask me before even attempting this. Sometimes I'll have a character seeking a remedy to some injury or illness, but I'm not usually a fan of easy solutions to character issues so I don't want someone to just walk up and remove the big driving factor in my character's story.

What about characters being transformed against their will?
Oddly enough, I'm generally more okay with this than the healing. Still ask me, for sure, but since these types of things tend to create more problems rather than act as a strict solution, I'll be more likely to be down.

Anything else?
Nothing I can think of at the moment.
