#SaltMageLore #SpiceMage
I can sum up one problem in a single sentence: "You need to do something about the claws, between those and the bites, I look like I've been mauled by an angry coeurl on the daily."
Ellie just tells them to blame the cat if they're that much of a problem.
#SaltMageLore
Ellie: Generally fakes a lot of her smiles but she's practiced it so much that the unaware just think she's charming.
Rowan: Just looks very uncomfortable, and if they are, they just look like they're plotting your demise.
Both of them though have subtle smiles when being genuine
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie: Swears a lot in very casual settings, but if she's expected to behave a certain way, she keeps it to a minimum. Funny enough, if she's around kids? She doesn't swear at all.
Rowan: Generally only when they get mad/annoyed, though will sometimes in casual conversation.
#SpiceMage (Just in case) #SaltMageLore
Ellie: It has to be a VERY specific mood for it but she only allows her closest partners to call her it. Anyone else is a no-go.
Rowan: Does not like it but then again they don't like anyone enough to allow it so it may change idk.
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie doesn't mind it if it's on her terms; if she did not give you the okay to touch her, or if you're not someone she trusts, she does NOT want to be touched, not even a handshake, nor will she touch someone else unless there's a reason for it.
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie: Easily a 10, though she doesn't do it often
Grim: About a 7, knows enough but still stumbles
Neri (my elezen): 8, reluctantly
Nao: 4, will accidentally step on your feet cuz they're too tall for this shit
Charon: -2 have fun tasting the floor
#SaltMageLore (Because Ellie is originally from WoW and moved to XIV, I'll start from her original design)
Funny enough, I picked Ellie's original color pallet based on my cat Jiji. Big ol' black cat with the most ridiculously green eyes you've ever seen (that changed to gold cuz RP happened)
#SaltMageLore How about a couple:
- Ellie likes cats
- Her crows are named after chess pieces
- Her weapon is a grimoire she (accidentally) sealed a voidsent inside of, and it's capable of speech (and it sasses her constantly)
- Her eyesight is perfectly fine, but she wears glasses for fun + style
#SaltMageLore #SpiceMage (just in case)
Ellie truthfully doesn't give a damn, she's of the mindset that is "you've seen one you've seen them all". If not that then she's definitely taking the nearest object and throwing it.
Or magically (literal) expunged from the room expeditiously.
#SaltMageLore (Not Really)
Pathetically needy or just as emotionally unavailable as she is, there's no in between
(the fact that the relationships she has NOW are more or less normal, and actually healthy, is a miracle)
#SaltMageLore
About the same as any other problem she can't fathom: lots of questioning her life choices, lamenting with a whole lot of "WHY", and extreme levels of denial until she reaches reluctant acceptance where she then just slowly progresses to general acceptance.
Someone asked how I came up with Charon's appearance (despite not being mortal, let alone a canon race in XIV) and I don't think they were expecting this level of stupidity.
I am a firm believer in balance between stupid and serious being key.
#SaltMageLore (Kinda - its not Ellie lore but eh)
#SaltMageLore Hoo boy...
(I didn't feel like making a thread)
#SaltMageLore (kinda) #SpiceMage (Just in case)
*stares at my posts on here*
Jokes aside: her own nudity doesn't phase her, and a lot of the reactions to her being nude was mostly about the extent of her tattoos (or having them in general). She covers up a lot so many people (in-character)
#SaltMageLore (kinda)
I kept hitting the random name generator (in WoW) until I found something easy to spell, remember, and/or pronounce 😂
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
I literally can't do it cuz there's no way for me to pose it, but Ellie's ears actually can move. They perk up a little bit when she gets spooked or surprised, or sink when she's mad. Her pupils also dilate when she's amped up (whether anger, happy, etc. though is unclear)
#SaltMageLore
Ellie is. For sure. All of her partners know and understand that she needs very little to no protection and if she does it's because she's acting the "damsel in distress" part to be a pain in the ass.
Ellie is a walking "her meows (cries of "distress") are lies"
#SaltMageLore
You'd never think someone who was a generally sweet/good kid would grow up to become such a menace to every society she got involved in.
(Ellie somewhere: "I was a cute kid... now look at me." )
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Honestly, I don't quite know these days; I've always kinda taken Ellie's wealth literally based on how much gil she actively has in-game 🤔
So if we're going by those guidelines I suppose a general merchant/trader would make much more sense than her just making her gil
#SaltMageLore
Ellie has four siblings; three younger half siblings through her father, and she had an older half-sister (now deceased) through her mother.
Ellie doesn't get along with her first younger sister, and she scarcely has a relationship with the other two due to their significant age
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
:) (I had a moment but context is important kids otherwise I'd sound like an asinine twat without it)
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
It kinda depends on the situation. If you don't know the extent of Ellie's abilities, then 8-9 (that drops down to a 3-4 if someone has aether-sight, or is adept in aetheric manipulation)
Also drops down to a 2 if you piss her off enough.
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie can go maybe three to four days without sleep before she just can't stand anymore. The longest she went was five but that had some major consequences to her physical health (though it was just the one time)
Three is when she's at her limit, but four and she's KO'ed.
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie is a bit more formal with her mother, more casual with the father (mostly jests; its how they show their love)
Mom: "Mother" (normally)
Father: "Old Man", "The Walking Wrinkle" "Father", "Old Bastard"
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie may not get her looks from her mother, but she definitely got her RBF (and both of them are vertically challenged).
#SaltMageLore
Yes, surprisingly. Just... maybe don't ask how her lupin flowers grow and flourish so fully (*cough*)
Jokes aside, Ellie's got a green thumb, her pride and joy though is a carnivorous plant someone from the botanist's guild gifted her that everyone calls "Audrey"
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie does for certain, its one of her biggest points of pride, and somehow she avoids coming off as arrogant despite it (not sure how else to describe it).
She puts in a lot of work to make sure she looks her best for herself before anyone or anything else.
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
Ellie is poly - she honestly started being against relationships because of her line of work, but she just warmed up to the idea over time.
It's also just a matter of convenience for me so this way my writing partners don't have to feel confined to shipping with JUST me, as
#SaltMageLore
My chronic yapper side is showing here (I also didn't feel like typing a whole-ass thread cuz I felt compelled to explain things 😵)
#SaltMageLore (Kinda)
It depends on who she's with; Ellie generally doesn't talk unless something/someone is worth her attention. If she likes someone/feels close to them though, she's far more talkative.
In short: if she's being a yapper, assume she at least likes you.
