▍ ❝   RULE ONE. 18+ only
I do all sorts of RP from A to Z with a hefty dose of E, but it's not required or even really sought out at most times. That being said this character is strictly geared towards adults. I will not RP with any character or player under 18 except in the case of public RP events where I can't control who attends.▍ ❝   RULE TWO. My character will never be monogamous with another player's character.
I get it - some people want one dedicated RP partner for everything. I cannot be that person. I've had boundaries pushed on an OOC level, so this will never happen. I'm sorry.▍ ❝   RULE THREE.
I enjoy dark themes in fiction as long as the story is engaging. So please don't be afraid of running something in particular by me. The worst I can say is no and I expect the same respect.▍ ❝   RULE FOUR. Keep IC and OOC separate
Just because characters may be romantically or sexually involved doesn't mean that we, the writers, are. I'm not interested in romantic connections. If something ever happens between friends organically that's one thing, but please do not approach this as if OOC dating will ever happen.▍ ❝   RULE FIVE. No Grimdark Without Party HatsWhile dark and dramatic storytelling is great, much like watching a horror movie it can become emotionally intense for the writers. In these situations, I welcome and encourage someone bringing in something comedic or silly to break the tension.

▍ ❝   RULE SIX. Unacceptable Themes
Transphobia, homophobia, racism, death of my character or permanent injury or dismemberment (unless discussed first). Consent is required to touch on any themes that may permanently alter another person's character.▍ ❝   RULE SEVEN. Lore Adherence
I generally try to adhere to the lore we're given and never actually break it. Literally everything I do with my characters ultimately has a basis in the lore and I am happy to chat about the lore and what we can do with it at any time - it's my special interest!That being said I believe in bending and extrapolating on the lore we're given (especially the parts that don't make sense or are contradictory within the game itself) to tell the stories we want to tell.I'm probably not interested in playing with a yakuza kitsune brother of hildibrand who is also half primal half voidsent half robot all in one, but honestly if you can come up with some kind of reasonable lore explanation for something you're doing I'll almost always happily go with it.▍ ❝   RULE EIGHT. Interactions With Canon Character RPersUltimately I have no problem doing this, especially on platforms such as tumblr or F-list, but I will likely not consider them intimately canon to my characters.Should I, for example, have some kind of ongoing narrative with someone playing as Y'shtola and I feel like it's compelling enough to carry over into the main lore for my character, I'll likely swap Y'shtola herself for "a miqo'te wizard I know" to avoid stepping on anyone's toes regarding head canons and lore.

•   class   : GNW (Green Witch), ACN, ALC, BOT      ❝ + At A Glance :
A pretty if slightly plain lady, donning nearly no makeup at any time. She has a fuller figure, particularly around the hips and chest, which she frequently hides with elegant but loose dresses and skirts. She carries herself with clearly practised grace, her movements slow, careful, and deliberate.Unfailingly polite, Vanille is likely to meet others with a gentle smile and genuine interest. Some might recognize her as a marchioness by marriage, though she can occasionally be found falling back into more lowborn styles of speech and manner when stressed or upset.

▍ ❝   THE MAGICALLY INCLINED
Vanille is a Green Witch, a more druidic offshoot of conjurer than white mage. This magic is partially her own creation, and partially that of her now-deceased grandmother. Magically inclined individuals may be able to engage with her in this regard.

▍ ❝   ISHGARDIANS
Vanille is Ishgardian, though she rarely ventured into the city proper while growing up. Nevertheless, I'm always open to connections with other Ishgardian roleplayers for pre-established connections.

▍ ❝   ISHGARDIAN NOBILITY
Having recently married into nobility, Vanille is still getting her legs in the whole situation. How other nobles treat her varies greatly, from looking down on her to considering her an equal. Interesting connections with other noble RPers could be possible here.

▍ ❝   GARLEMALD CONTINGENT.
Vanille was part of the deployment to Garlemald for her healing arts, alongside her wife and their mutual friend. Connections could be made with other characters who were present for this event.She will go out of her way to assist Garlean refugees who have chosen to make new lives elsewhere on Etheirys.

▍ ❝   WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR.
Vanille has penned and published a number of very questionable romance novels based around debunked wolf pack dynamics. Although she uses a penname, some might become aware of her actual identity and she would be happy to engage with any of these folks.

▍ ❝  ETHICAL NON-MONOGAMY
Vanille is happily married and adores her wife to bits; that being said they both have an open relationship and are open to flings, one night stands, friends with benefits, and possibly more where the story allows. That being said vanille is demiromantic and will take some time to warm up to someone to a point of actual romantic feelings.Vanille's wife is also played by me. Nothing approaching cheating or NTR will happen - my characters will always be honest with each other and they will always know what the other one is up to.Vanille likes women - cis or trans. Nonbinary folks considered on a case by case basis.
