Lydia. bc teldryn wont date me without mods im just hanging out with my huscarl babe
Soft pitter patters are followed by giggles before a young girl launches herself at Lydia's legs. "Raaahrr! Got'chu, Awn-tee Ly-dee! I'mma big, mean ol' candy monster, here to take your sweets! And a kiss too, please."
Lydia grinned wide as she pried the little one from her legs to hoist her high into the air. “Candy monster, ‘ey? A savage beast indeed.” A quick shower of kisses was gladly pressed to her niece’s cheeks before she held the little one to her hip and fished a small piece of ginger-lemon candy from a pouch at her belt. “Don’t chew this one, okay? It’ll last longer. And there won’t be no more till tomorrow, yer daddies are already gonna give me hell when a sticky little candy monster gives them sticky lemon kisses.”

I WILL
SUFFER
SO YOU WON’T.
Three thumbnails for an idea of a Werewolf Triptych. A regular werewolf, a Harvest werewolf, and Blood Supermoon werewolf.
the waitomo caves of new zealand’s northern island, formed two million years ago from the surrounding limestone bedrock, are home to an endemic species of bioluminescent fungus gnat (arachnocampa luminosa, or glow worm fly) who in their larval stage produce silk threads from which to hang and, using a blue light emitted from a modified excretory organ in their tails, lure in prey who then become ensnared in sticky droplets of mucus.

Hey Lydia, which divines do you hold in the highest regard?
“Ysmir o’course. Or Talos, if that’s what you know ‘im by. He looks out for Men more than any other. Got a fondness for Tsun as well. His favor will get you awful far, but you gotta really earn it.”
1 and 5
1. How did you first come up with your muse’s backstory, if you did at all?
A lot of just.. sitting and thinking. I wanted to come up with something that matched Lydia’s few in-game habits and ended up just kind of running with it once I got a general idea. Her undying loyalty, her habit of getting in the way and ruining sneak attempts (lol), her inability to use magic, etc. I wanted all of those to be viable with my character, but also to make her interesting enough for other people to want to get to know.
5. What song reminds you of your muse’s backstory?
I am.. not a very musical person. I like it, but I don’t even listen to music every day and I don’t generally think about how different songs apply to different scenarios so.. I really don’t know. I think I have a few songs that in the moment reminded me of Lydia or some of her ships in the Music tag, but idk if any of them apply to her backstory.
6 & 10 for the backstory meme
6. Does anything fit your muse’s backstory aesthetically?
Hmmm. A half finished sword. A really old, ragged, but comfortable looking chair. Rope burns.
{{ 10., if you'd like?}}
10. In what ways has your muse’s backstory shaped them as a person?
//Oh jeez, lots. Her relative isolation as a child with a lot of people so close by caused her to crave company. Her failing to save someone she love fed into her resentment of magic and intensified her habit of rushing into things. Having a modest upbringing taught her both a craving for self-indulgent pleasures as well as a respect for hard work.
