OOC - take two -_-
Kay, started this, then it got deleted when I was oike 85% done, so, here I go, from the top -__- stolen fron jun, picked Celeste cause she talks most yeah yeah continue
Kail -
Kail's her big brother. She loves him, and they're close, if not especially. This is probably because Kail always had Sawyer to hang around with, and he's really not the type to get real close with his little sister. She thinks he's a bit boring and dull, which is hilarious, because she's probably more of both than he is. She also looks down on his fondness for alcohol, and thinks that he's just trying to prove he's grown up, a behaviour that she's not fond of. But she loves him. He's her completely normal big brother relationship.
Lawrence -
This is her NOT completely normal big brother relationship. And complicated. Really complicated. Celeste is inflicted with something that I like to call "Brother Complex to a degree where she is walking an incest line very precariously." Lawrence is the most important person in her life, hands down. He's a pillar of strength that she leans on to a dangerous level. While she's not romantically attracted to him, so to speak, ALL of the men who she IS have something in common: they're all suspciously like Lawrence. She expects Lawrence to fight her battles for her, when he doesn't, she feels hurt and upset, and more than a little betrayed. While her connection to Lawrence is not incestuous at all, it's not normal, either.
Sawyer -
Celeste really likes Sawyer, trusts him, respects him. She gets frusterated by how he seems to think of her as Lady Celeste first, and a friend only second, but in many ways, she perpetuates this by treating him as Sir Sawyer first. Hypocritical as it is, the whole gay business makes her really uncomfortable -- she's a proper girl, and homosexuality is something to be pitied, after all -- but oddly, even though she kinda knew Kail and Felicia were into each other, wants him to get together with Kail. Maybe because it would make her falling for Lauren okay?
Keagan -
A little hard to put a finger on, really. Uncle Keagan, the man who taught her to love learning. Memories of thier lessons together are some of her happiest she has. She worries that this entire ordeal has caused them to drift apart, however, and she has some issues with him -- his vindicitve sense of humour and his alcohol fixation, largely. Still, she loves him dearly. And wants to see him get a wife, asap.
Faith -
I figure Celeste started out not exactly caring for Faith, she's extremely unconvential, improper, and entirely too fond of alcohol. Besides, Lawrence didn't like her. Automatic negative points. But before long, Faith started to grow on her. She's like a really embarrasing older sister. She's kinda the epitome of a great deal of things that Celeste dislikes, but how can you be even vaguely distasteful of someone who threatens you with noogies while you're angsting?
Eden -
Bitchy and superior. Celeste kinda has this list of people who she avoids because they offend some personal ideal or may get her involved in those who do, and Eden heads up this list.
Tallys -
Seems nice enough. Might get her mixed up in Eden, though, so, avoid.
Raisie -
Would actually really like to get to know her. Thinks that she's very sweet and quite interesting. Sadly, very connected to Eden. Avoid list.
Hart -
Celeste doesn't like Hart, much. She respected him and first, for coming to her aid in Forshen, but as he basically did nothing but mess with Jon and hit on her and Lauren and complain about not being paid enough and nothing exciting happening, she went from respect, to distate, to outright dislike. However, she still felt betrayed and angry when he left the group.
Irving -
Celeste actually really liked Irving, a lot. She thought he was pleasant, fun to talk to, nice, funny, hard-working ... him getting bitchy with her and Lauren was a little offputting, but it was more cute to her than anything else. She enjoyed their conversations and just really liked the overall vibe that she got off of him. Never quite got the arguments with Loki, figured it was some sort of brother thing she wouldn't get. She felt betrayed and angry with he left.
Loki -
Kinda looked at him as "Irving's younger brother." A nice guy, easy to get along with, if a bit annoying and whiney. She didn't realy like how he got teased, though, and would always come to his defence, feeling sorry for him. She felt betrayed and angry with he left, too.
Irene -
Hoo boy. Celeste doesn't like Irene much. It started with Irene clearly thinking she was either insane or trying to con them, and continued as it came obvious that Lauren resented Irene for being controlling etc. She and Irene have actually had a few catty bitchfights, on top of their tension already there, and yeah. Recently, she's gained some respect for her, because she and Lauren have seemed to have worked out their differences, but is still nervous and not sure if she wants to talk to her face to face.
Lauren -
Celeste is pretty much half in love with Lauren. She adores her. While she thinks Lawrence is the force that holds her together, in reality, more often than not, it's Lauren. Lauren has taught her a LOT about friendship, hope, optimism, all those things Celeste only had half a concept of, before. She's strong, assertive, friendly, kind, and really cute >_> Celeste is embarrased and a bit afraid of her feelings for Lauren, but that makes them no less there.
Rae -
Rae is a sweet little girl. Sadly, Celeste is half scared of her, because she's convinced that she still hates her because of all the shit that went down in Forshen. She really wishes that this were not the case.
Maire -
Maire is a bitch. Avoid list.
Terrance -
Celeste can't decide if he's a sweet, pious priest, or a two-faced, petty jerk. Either way, he associates with Maire closely, so, avoid.
Pearl -
Celeste really likes Pearl, actually. Her detached and somewhat unfriendly attitude makes her unapproachable, but she likes her anyways, and really respects how she's fought to get healthy after her serious wounds, and she likes her style of dancing a lot, finding it FAR preferable to Fayre's more racy expression. She'd like to get to know her better. Darn that unapproachableness.
Andrew -
Always a bit uncertain of him. She likes him, enjyos his songs, finds his religious devotion admirable ... but he makes her a bit nervous when he's being distant or emo. She feel awkward about the whole situation with him and Pearl and Maeve, and having only half a clue with what went on there, finds getting close to the situation uncomfortable.
Davan -
No opinion at all, really.
Jace -
This one is an ass to rewrite, it was hard enough the first time. Okay, here goes. Celeste likes Jace. She does. He believes her to some level, or at least claims that he does. He fascinates her, draws her. She watches him having fun with her friends, messing around with her brothers, and she feels like he really belongs with them, more so than many of the others. But at the same time, he frusterates her. A lot. Does he like them or not? Does he want to be with them, or not? Does her care what happens? Is he just tagging along to laugh when the crazies realize that they're just that? Would he just make up his MIND? Would he just stop MESSING with them? She just wants him to prove that he's a good person, because she KNOWS that he is, she WON'T accept that he's not. He's too easy on himself, and she knows it, and she won't accept it, but he just keeps running vergal circles around her and beating her and UGH. She really has no idea what to think of him, at all.
When I ask her if she has a crush on him, she blushes and refuses to answer. To put this into perspective, when I ask her if she has a crush on Lauren, she blushes, goes quiet, and nods. When I ask about Jon, she flusters and insists NO NO I DO NOT AH HAH HAH. Andrew, she frowns and says "of course not."
I have no idea what this means. Make of it what you will.
Edalene -
Celeste likes Edalene, although is still a bit eh about how she kept Lawrence in Razen for two months. She seems like a sweet girl, very nice. Although, since she knows now that Lawrence isn't in love with her, and is QUITE convinced that Edalene is in love with him [not exactly correct but close enough :')], she feels horrible for her, and wants to find some way to broach the subject, but is quite sure there is no tactful way to do it. Cause there's not XD
Reeve -
Celeste does not trust Reeve. She gets slimey politician vibes from him and ALWAYS has. He's too polite, too tactful, too ... insincere, and she picks it up. She might NOT have if not how obvious it is that he's lying out his ass to Edalene, in her view, to control her throne. She partially suspects him for the King's death, and since she's recently come to believe he directly lied to her about Lawrence's illness, isn't sure if she shouldn't blame him for THAT, too. Celeste never talks to Reeve, but thinks about him a great deal. She trusts him less than anyone else on the journals, even the likes of Chiel.
Felicia -
Felicia was Celeste first real friend, and her best. She was sort of like another sister. They were very close. Celeste looked up to her a lot, her reasons for training in the staff were half for her relgious leanings, and half to be like Felicia. At the moment, though, she's very bitter and upset at Felicia. Why can't she remember? SAWYER remembers. KEAGAN remembers. Hell, FAITH remembers. Did she not care enough? Oddly, Celeste mostly knows about Kail and Felicia digging each other, and quite dislikes it XD Not romantic enough, maybe? No idea.
Jarvis -
Avoid list. Note to self, don't visit Vernhail anytime soon.
Kelita -
Seems very sweet, and would like to talk to her, just ... never really got around to it.
Daisy -
See above.
Nathan -
See above. Also, reminds her of Irene.
Finlay -
See above. Also, associates closely with Rae, and thus should probably be avoided.
Nyoka -
Celeste HATES Nyoka. She never liked her, the way that she would be perfectly horrible and then hide behind a cute face when anyone accused her of anything. But the Franel sign and the mocking Pearl who had just almost DIED were the last straw. Celeste doesn't hate many people, but Celeste REALLY hates Nyoka.
Hazel -
Respects her being a scholar. Wonders about her choice of friends, though. Never really talked, even pre-himitsu. Only reason for Northerners and Southerners to mingle is BIG parties, and, well, HAZEL.
Matthias -
Pre-Himitsu, Celeste didn't care much for Matthias in those two or three meetings that they had. Too loud, too "clever", too ... Southern. Now, she REALLY dislikes Matthias. The way that he makes fun of her family, harrases everyone, and is generally an asshat gets under her skin. Not a fan.
Tea -
Celeste actually likes Tea. Respects the religious, thinks that the focus is good. Sure she's a bit boring, but whatever, it's deal-withable. Is still upset and unsure about whatever it was that passed at Franel with her brother, but is afraid to ask.
Fayre -
Celeste does not like Fayre :') She's a nice person, sure, but she's a slut, and she tried to take advantage of Kail'sutter cluelessness innocence. The threesome act with Elden and Zach was REALLY the last straw for Fayre. Hilarious, she still felt betrayed and angry when she left Franelcrew.
Pandora -
Never really talked, but really likes her, despite her interesting choices for friends. Wants to get to know her, maybe.
Prudence -
Never really talked. That girlkid who talks complicated languages a lot.
Patience -
Never really talked. That boykid who talks complicated languages a lot.
Erin -
Doesn't really know her, but wouldn't mind a conversation or two. Overall things she would get along with her, just always felt too awkward to say anything.
Justin -
Points for reminding her kinda of Lawrence. Lack of points for uh not having any CR. :')
Liam -
Seems like an asshat. Avoid.
Forbes -
Celeste kinda wants to try to make Forbes into an all purpose priest replacement. She's been really down about not being able to have confession and prayers and stuff and she's sorta looking to Forbes to fill that role for her. She really values his advice, but most of the things she wants advice for are stuff that is Generally Not Good [like falling for Lauren.]
Kolton -
He's cute, he's happy, he likes Lawrence, Lawrence seems to like him, he gives people shiney rocks and is actually honestly HAPPY about it ... what's not to like?
Anton -
Celeste really actually quite likes Anton when he's doing the whole stuffy serious Easterner thing, and when he's being responsable etc. She's a bit iffy on the way that he badgers Kolton, though. Overall, likes him, not sure what her full opinion is.
Tarmon -
Celeste really, really, really doesn't like Tarmon. He's an egotistical whiney creep with a superiority complex, and the overall creepy skin-crawling sensation her leaves on her skin completely UGHs her. She hates all these memories of him looking at her and trying to touch her and being totally all over her and it just seriously NO. While she realizes that he would have been a VERY, VERY beneficial marriage, the sort that she should be OBSCENELY grateful for, she's impossibly glad that Lawrence [who Roivas had deal with the issue] declined the betrothal offer. However, she rarely if ever actually shows any of this, or vocalizes any of this. She's very proper after all, and Tarmon is heir to Emeron, while is Sovererign to Franel. It's not her place to outright speak against him.
Dale -
Avoid.
Harriet -
Avoid.
Lillan -
Seems like a very nice girl, and religious, besides. Celeste would actually like to talk to her, if not for the overall wtf of her company ...
Mathilda -
Er ... ah hah, a ... very nice girl ^^ >_>
Raetha -
Reminds Celeste of Lauren, which is points. However, the whole assosciation with Mathilda thing is just not working for her.
Garvey -
No real opinion. Kinda avoids, pirates are bad.
Quinn -
Overall likes him. They probably sorta kinda knew each other maybe pre-Himitsu, since Quinn knew Felicia, and although the whole social awkwardness is a turnoff, Quinn has some interesting things to talk about.
Owen -
No real opinion yet.
Jonathan -
Celeste has a crush on Jon, basically. It's not "romantic feelings," like she has for Lauren, but it's definitely a crush. Please note, Jon reminds her VERY MUCH of Lawrence. lol. She still really respects how he came to Forshen for her, took the little money she could provide, and then just kept giving to her and her friends and family even when they couldn't pay any more. She can kinda sorta ALMOST tell that she doesn't always give everything up, that's why she asks so many probing questions, but she really trusts him anyway. She likes their conversations.
Chiel -
Celeste does not like Chiel. At all. She finds her cruel, horrible, crude, rough, a drunkard, a generally not-good person. She think she only follows Franel because she wants to see them fail, she hates the way that she bullies people, she can't stand her complete lack of anything resembling tact or manners ... I mean, points for egging Tarmon, but even THAT was disrespectful. Celeste knows that it it's a mutual dislike, and she hates THAT, too. She wants everyone to like her. It's a personality flaw. She can't for the life of her understand why Jace seems to like her so much. Ironically, she would feel betrayed and angry if Chiel left.
Alys -
Respects her for the whole "helped Kail and stands up to Chiel and Jace" thing. But avoids her for the whole "really rough around the edges and total heathen" thing.
Mallory -
Never knew quite WHAT to think of her while alive. Now that she's dead ... still doesn't really know.
Rina -
Thinks she seems quite nice and sweet. Because of the gianttime when she had no mun time when her brother had the journal, they never exactly talked, but Celeste would actually really like to. When she finds time between the angst and stuff.
Kerrik -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Elthea -
She never really knew Elthea before pre-himitsu, despite how close Franel and Lireth are bonded. She was kind of "the other sister oh what was her name again ...?" the quiet one, the clumsy one, the one who blended into the walls. Now, Celeste avoids the situation, partly because she feeling really really bad about Elthea's entire situation and blames herself partly on some bizarre level. And partly because the entire thing reminds her that no one remembers her.
Eve -
Kinda sorta not sure. Doesn't LIKE Eve so to speak, but certainly doesn't DISLIKE her or anything.
Helga -
Seems nice but kinda ehhhhh she gets on the avoid list for uh yeah, she DOES SEEM NICE!
Crow -
Definitely avoid.
Aine -
She seemed nice, and sweet, but they never really talked. Celeste mourns her, though, for Nessa. She feels horrible for her.
Druce -
She really wanted to get to know him, for Nessa, and because he seemed nice, but found his distant and confusing. She felt betrayed and angry when he left, but doesn't miss him much.
Lest -
Seems like a nice guy, but no real opinion. A little slow?
Elliot -
Nice guy, gets points for being clergy kinda sorta. Loses points for being kinda overbearingly happy, but she likes him. Offering love and cakes everywhere, like, you can't really dislike the guy XD
Nessa -
Nessa ... complicated. Celeste kinda voiced it herself in one of their recent conversations, she thinks of Nessa as a surogate mother. Eria is gone, and Nessa was the first motherly figure nearby. Add to that that in my head, Eria is KINDA like Nessa but a bit more regal and slightly more reserved, and Nessa makes a perfect surogate. Celeste clings to her harder than anyone else in Franelcrew but Lawrence, even though she's not as CLOSE with her as she would like to be. She trusts Nessa infinitely, too. She wants Nessa to marry Keagan, 1) because she's a little matchmaker and 2) to keep Nessa near her, since Keagan has an oath and CAN'T leave her.
Maeve -
Celeste was always vaguely uncomfortable with Maeve, and how she never seemed to really fit in with everyone else. She was relieved when Maeve left ... but NOT when she vanished forever. The whole situation makes her uncomfortable, she strongly avoids thinking about it.
Jordan -
Nice enough, he and Jasmine were very cute, kinda questions his current group, but would like him back, and, yes, felt angry and betrayed when he left. :')
Elden -
Celeste puts Elden on basically the same level as Fayre. A bit lower, actually, for lying about being able to see Franel, never admitting he did it, later, and being a less generally sweet person. The threesome thing with Zach was just the last straw. She does think he's a BRILLIANT actor, and enjoyed his stories, but overall, general not-coolness towards him. Maybe it was hitting on Kail and Sawyer that did it.
Tyre -
"Lauren's cousin," basically. Celeste is turned off my Tyre's unconvential nature, as well as the whole connection with Irene that caused her to be a big bitch to everyone for a while. Snapping at Lawrence was not cool. Kinda avoids.
Zach -
The other Jonathan in her life. Zach reminds her of Lawrence, basically, and, thus, she has sort of latched onto him and crushes on him. He's sweet,reminds her of Lawrence, funny, Lawrence, friendly, Lawrence, and his hero complex meshes VERY well with her victim complex, and seriously, how could anyone be taller than Lawrence?!, which is major win. She likes him. They get along well, he makes her laugh. She sometimes feels like the third wheel of Lauren and Zach's long time friendship, and the Eric angle shuts her out even MORE, though. Yeah.
Ash -
Seems nice, never really talked. Wouldn't mind, though. Kind of reminds her of Elliot with less crack, or Lauren with more.
Jasmine -
Sweet girl, nice to talk to, if a little dumb for her. She found the cheerful optimism a really big pick-me up, and really misses it sometimes. Also thought that she and Jordan were cute. Doubts her choice in friends. And, of course, felt angry and betrayed when she left.
Amaeyra -
Celeste really likes Amaeyra. She's a little bit intimdated by the whole beautiful, perfect, untouchable goddess thing -- who wouldn't be -- but she finds her a very kind, gentle, likeable, sweet person, and she was in favour of Lawrence marrying her. Well she never directly talked much to her, she did look up to her a lot.
Isobel -
A pleasant travelling companion. Izzy's chatter never got on Celeste's nerves at all, and she actually really enjoys her company, and loves the music from her pipes. She remember Izzy trying to cheer her up while lawrence was kidnapped, and playing Over the Hills and Far Away with her.
Ren -
No real opinion. Feels a litle bad for his current situation.
Gilbert -
Never talked much, but he makes her nervous. He never does anything visiible, but the crossing out reminds her of Jace and Chiel when they're being horrible, and the things Terrance and Maire have warned about them stand out.
Ian -
TOTALLY unsure of what to think. Could just be poor mechant's son Matthias and Hazel are harrassing, in which case, poor boy, Matthias is an ass. Could actually be Crown Prince of Dentoria, in which case, zomg, Crown Prince of Dentoria, and poor boy, Matthias is an ass.
Marias -
Avoided at all costs before the crazy. Now kinda avoids him and feels bad for him and thinks "geez is this what I was like at Franel ... :/"
Myca -
No real opinion. Curious about him, though, wish he would post in languages she can read more often XD
Eric -
Until recently, she basically looked at Eric as some poophead who made Lauren cry and who she was actually pretty jealous of, since it's pretty obvious that Lauren crushed on him once. But now, she thinks he's kinda sweet ... although she still is jealous of him and doesn't exactly like him.
Lark -
No real opinion. Associates with Crow, should probably be avoided.
Kooly -
See above.
Gideon -
No real opinion. Nice guy, very patriotic, wonders if Lawrence met him in Atsiria.
Jayne -
Jayne is a bitch, and moreover, was a bitch to Lauren. On the avoid list.
Lila -
Celeste is curious about Lila. She's a knight of Lireth, and seems like a nice person. The overall tough attitude is intimidating, though.
Allison -
See above. Replace "Lila" with "Allison." Hm. I think Celeste may recognize Allison from pre-Himitsu, too. She's REALLY good at picking up romantic interest, there's a chance that she knew Allison crushes on Hasten. That would have been a bit awkward, since she was a serious marriage possibility for Hasten, so I figure she would have avoided her.
Xander -
Got minus points for being a shitty brother and Eric's travelbuddy. Currently not sure what to make of him.
Kara -
Avoid list.
James -
Seems like a sweet boy. Never really found time to talk to him.
Randy -
Finds him depressing, and a little shallow. Really not sure what to think exactly, but she doesn't have a lot of interest in getting closer.
Julian -
Hangs around with Fayre and Elden and seems to like them is minus points. Seems like a pleasant guy, though.
Tris -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Freya -
A lot of respect. Celeste is religious, after all, and Freya is kinda this GRAND EPITOME OF RELIGIOUS SANCTITY. She has no real PERSONAL opinion, and all her views are a little shrouded by this bias of HOLY LIGHT SHINING FORTH that she sees in Freya.
Leila -
Doesn't talk enough for Celeste to get a real opinion.
Hasten -
Complicated. She doesn't like Hasten, exactly. But she respects that he and Lawrence were friends, and she trusts Lawrence's judgement. She finds him intimdiating and cold, and is a little afraid to carry a conversation with him, but recognizes that as a third daughter, it's a very fortunate marriage for her, and he's much, much better than Tarmon.
Asher -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Noel -
Seems nice enough, if a bit ... not her type to associate with. No real opinion.
Keane -
He's a jerk. His family threatens Lauren and her family. Bad news.
Leigh -
Avoid. And cover eyes.
Lirit -
Seems linked to whatever it is Irene is involved in, which Celeste is doing her best to avoid and distract Lauren. Thus, she actually knows very little about him.
Fartgus -
She thought he was charming and very likeable, very goodlooking. May have even have had a tiny crush on him, in a girly "wow you're so popular and I know absolutely nothing about you on a personal level" kind of way. And he reminds her more of Lawrence than Hasten does, lol. Lawrence didn't trust him, though, and so, even though she PERSONALLY would have rathered marry him, she followed Lawrence's gut.
Adamm -
Too spazzy and kinda creepy, she avoids. He does, however, drive another nail into the coffin of "Chiel is a really cruel person and not nice at all."
Connor -
Doesn't have any real opinion. But thinks "Glynn" was a nice guy.
Jarek -
Kinda lumps him into that "Sylea" group, but thinks he's a nicer guy than Keane or the sisters ugggggh.
Stephanie -
Cutest little girl ever ;_; Celeste wants to get to know her better, but is worried that she spooked her out by the lack of fitlers in Lauren's birthday thread thing.
Relette -
Avoid at all costs, Sylea people.
Cylina -
MAJOR avoid at all costs, threatened Lauren, the WORST of those Sylea people.
Malcolm -
Seems way too nice to be a Sylea person. But, woefully, is a Sylea person, and thus gets shafted into the "avoid and ignore whilst distracting Lauren" category.
Kail -
Kail's her big brother. She loves him, and they're close, if not especially. This is probably because Kail always had Sawyer to hang around with, and he's really not the type to get real close with his little sister. She thinks he's a bit boring and dull, which is hilarious, because she's probably more of both than he is. She also looks down on his fondness for alcohol, and thinks that he's just trying to prove he's grown up, a behaviour that she's not fond of. But she loves him. He's her completely normal big brother relationship.
Lawrence -
This is her NOT completely normal big brother relationship. And complicated. Really complicated. Celeste is inflicted with something that I like to call "Brother Complex to a degree where she is walking an incest line very precariously." Lawrence is the most important person in her life, hands down. He's a pillar of strength that she leans on to a dangerous level. While she's not romantically attracted to him, so to speak, ALL of the men who she IS have something in common: they're all suspciously like Lawrence. She expects Lawrence to fight her battles for her, when he doesn't, she feels hurt and upset, and more than a little betrayed. While her connection to Lawrence is not incestuous at all, it's not normal, either.
Sawyer -
Celeste really likes Sawyer, trusts him, respects him. She gets frusterated by how he seems to think of her as Lady Celeste first, and a friend only second, but in many ways, she perpetuates this by treating him as Sir Sawyer first. Hypocritical as it is, the whole gay business makes her really uncomfortable -- she's a proper girl, and homosexuality is something to be pitied, after all -- but oddly, even though she kinda knew Kail and Felicia were into each other, wants him to get together with Kail. Maybe because it would make her falling for Lauren okay?
Keagan -
A little hard to put a finger on, really. Uncle Keagan, the man who taught her to love learning. Memories of thier lessons together are some of her happiest she has. She worries that this entire ordeal has caused them to drift apart, however, and she has some issues with him -- his vindicitve sense of humour and his alcohol fixation, largely. Still, she loves him dearly. And wants to see him get a wife, asap.
Faith -
I figure Celeste started out not exactly caring for Faith, she's extremely unconvential, improper, and entirely too fond of alcohol. Besides, Lawrence didn't like her. Automatic negative points. But before long, Faith started to grow on her. She's like a really embarrasing older sister. She's kinda the epitome of a great deal of things that Celeste dislikes, but how can you be even vaguely distasteful of someone who threatens you with noogies while you're angsting?
Eden -
Bitchy and superior. Celeste kinda has this list of people who she avoids because they offend some personal ideal or may get her involved in those who do, and Eden heads up this list.
Tallys -
Seems nice enough. Might get her mixed up in Eden, though, so, avoid.
Raisie -
Would actually really like to get to know her. Thinks that she's very sweet and quite interesting. Sadly, very connected to Eden. Avoid list.
Hart -
Celeste doesn't like Hart, much. She respected him and first, for coming to her aid in Forshen, but as he basically did nothing but mess with Jon and hit on her and Lauren and complain about not being paid enough and nothing exciting happening, she went from respect, to distate, to outright dislike. However, she still felt betrayed and angry when he left the group.
Irving -
Celeste actually really liked Irving, a lot. She thought he was pleasant, fun to talk to, nice, funny, hard-working ... him getting bitchy with her and Lauren was a little offputting, but it was more cute to her than anything else. She enjoyed their conversations and just really liked the overall vibe that she got off of him. Never quite got the arguments with Loki, figured it was some sort of brother thing she wouldn't get. She felt betrayed and angry with he left.
Loki -
Kinda looked at him as "Irving's younger brother." A nice guy, easy to get along with, if a bit annoying and whiney. She didn't realy like how he got teased, though, and would always come to his defence, feeling sorry for him. She felt betrayed and angry with he left, too.
Irene -
Hoo boy. Celeste doesn't like Irene much. It started with Irene clearly thinking she was either insane or trying to con them, and continued as it came obvious that Lauren resented Irene for being controlling etc. She and Irene have actually had a few catty bitchfights, on top of their tension already there, and yeah. Recently, she's gained some respect for her, because she and Lauren have seemed to have worked out their differences, but is still nervous and not sure if she wants to talk to her face to face.
Lauren -
Celeste is pretty much half in love with Lauren. She adores her. While she thinks Lawrence is the force that holds her together, in reality, more often than not, it's Lauren. Lauren has taught her a LOT about friendship, hope, optimism, all those things Celeste only had half a concept of, before. She's strong, assertive, friendly, kind, and really cute >_> Celeste is embarrased and a bit afraid of her feelings for Lauren, but that makes them no less there.
Rae -
Rae is a sweet little girl. Sadly, Celeste is half scared of her, because she's convinced that she still hates her because of all the shit that went down in Forshen. She really wishes that this were not the case.
Maire -
Maire is a bitch. Avoid list.
Terrance -
Celeste can't decide if he's a sweet, pious priest, or a two-faced, petty jerk. Either way, he associates with Maire closely, so, avoid.
Pearl -
Celeste really likes Pearl, actually. Her detached and somewhat unfriendly attitude makes her unapproachable, but she likes her anyways, and really respects how she's fought to get healthy after her serious wounds, and she likes her style of dancing a lot, finding it FAR preferable to Fayre's more racy expression. She'd like to get to know her better. Darn that unapproachableness.
Andrew -
Always a bit uncertain of him. She likes him, enjyos his songs, finds his religious devotion admirable ... but he makes her a bit nervous when he's being distant or emo. She feel awkward about the whole situation with him and Pearl and Maeve, and having only half a clue with what went on there, finds getting close to the situation uncomfortable.
Davan -
No opinion at all, really.
Jace -
This one is an ass to rewrite, it was hard enough the first time. Okay, here goes. Celeste likes Jace. She does. He believes her to some level, or at least claims that he does. He fascinates her, draws her. She watches him having fun with her friends, messing around with her brothers, and she feels like he really belongs with them, more so than many of the others. But at the same time, he frusterates her. A lot. Does he like them or not? Does he want to be with them, or not? Does her care what happens? Is he just tagging along to laugh when the crazies realize that they're just that? Would he just make up his MIND? Would he just stop MESSING with them? She just wants him to prove that he's a good person, because she KNOWS that he is, she WON'T accept that he's not. He's too easy on himself, and she knows it, and she won't accept it, but he just keeps running vergal circles around her and beating her and UGH. She really has no idea what to think of him, at all.
When I ask her if she has a crush on him, she blushes and refuses to answer. To put this into perspective, when I ask her if she has a crush on Lauren, she blushes, goes quiet, and nods. When I ask about Jon, she flusters and insists NO NO I DO NOT AH HAH HAH. Andrew, she frowns and says "of course not."
I have no idea what this means. Make of it what you will.
Edalene -
Celeste likes Edalene, although is still a bit eh about how she kept Lawrence in Razen for two months. She seems like a sweet girl, very nice. Although, since she knows now that Lawrence isn't in love with her, and is QUITE convinced that Edalene is in love with him [not exactly correct but close enough :')], she feels horrible for her, and wants to find some way to broach the subject, but is quite sure there is no tactful way to do it. Cause there's not XD
Reeve -
Celeste does not trust Reeve. She gets slimey politician vibes from him and ALWAYS has. He's too polite, too tactful, too ... insincere, and she picks it up. She might NOT have if not how obvious it is that he's lying out his ass to Edalene, in her view, to control her throne. She partially suspects him for the King's death, and since she's recently come to believe he directly lied to her about Lawrence's illness, isn't sure if she shouldn't blame him for THAT, too. Celeste never talks to Reeve, but thinks about him a great deal. She trusts him less than anyone else on the journals, even the likes of Chiel.
Felicia -
Felicia was Celeste first real friend, and her best. She was sort of like another sister. They were very close. Celeste looked up to her a lot, her reasons for training in the staff were half for her relgious leanings, and half to be like Felicia. At the moment, though, she's very bitter and upset at Felicia. Why can't she remember? SAWYER remembers. KEAGAN remembers. Hell, FAITH remembers. Did she not care enough? Oddly, Celeste mostly knows about Kail and Felicia digging each other, and quite dislikes it XD Not romantic enough, maybe? No idea.
Jarvis -
Avoid list. Note to self, don't visit Vernhail anytime soon.
Kelita -
Seems very sweet, and would like to talk to her, just ... never really got around to it.
Daisy -
See above.
Nathan -
See above. Also, reminds her of Irene.
Finlay -
See above. Also, associates closely with Rae, and thus should probably be avoided.
Nyoka -
Celeste HATES Nyoka. She never liked her, the way that she would be perfectly horrible and then hide behind a cute face when anyone accused her of anything. But the Franel sign and the mocking Pearl who had just almost DIED were the last straw. Celeste doesn't hate many people, but Celeste REALLY hates Nyoka.
Hazel -
Respects her being a scholar. Wonders about her choice of friends, though. Never really talked, even pre-himitsu. Only reason for Northerners and Southerners to mingle is BIG parties, and, well, HAZEL.
Matthias -
Pre-Himitsu, Celeste didn't care much for Matthias in those two or three meetings that they had. Too loud, too "clever", too ... Southern. Now, she REALLY dislikes Matthias. The way that he makes fun of her family, harrases everyone, and is generally an asshat gets under her skin. Not a fan.
Tea -
Celeste actually likes Tea. Respects the religious, thinks that the focus is good. Sure she's a bit boring, but whatever, it's deal-withable. Is still upset and unsure about whatever it was that passed at Franel with her brother, but is afraid to ask.
Fayre -
Celeste does not like Fayre :') She's a nice person, sure, but she's a slut, and she tried to take advantage of Kail's
Pandora -
Never really talked, but really likes her, despite her interesting choices for friends. Wants to get to know her, maybe.
Prudence -
Never really talked. That girlkid who talks complicated languages a lot.
Patience -
Never really talked. That boykid who talks complicated languages a lot.
Erin -
Doesn't really know her, but wouldn't mind a conversation or two. Overall things she would get along with her, just always felt too awkward to say anything.
Justin -
Points for reminding her kinda of Lawrence. Lack of points for uh not having any CR. :')
Liam -
Seems like an asshat. Avoid.
Forbes -
Celeste kinda wants to try to make Forbes into an all purpose priest replacement. She's been really down about not being able to have confession and prayers and stuff and she's sorta looking to Forbes to fill that role for her. She really values his advice, but most of the things she wants advice for are stuff that is Generally Not Good [like falling for Lauren.]
Kolton -
He's cute, he's happy, he likes Lawrence, Lawrence seems to like him, he gives people shiney rocks and is actually honestly HAPPY about it ... what's not to like?
Anton -
Celeste really actually quite likes Anton when he's doing the whole stuffy serious Easterner thing, and when he's being responsable etc. She's a bit iffy on the way that he badgers Kolton, though. Overall, likes him, not sure what her full opinion is.
Tarmon -
Celeste really, really, really doesn't like Tarmon. He's an egotistical whiney creep with a superiority complex, and the overall creepy skin-crawling sensation her leaves on her skin completely UGHs her. She hates all these memories of him looking at her and trying to touch her and being totally all over her and it just seriously NO. While she realizes that he would have been a VERY, VERY beneficial marriage, the sort that she should be OBSCENELY grateful for, she's impossibly glad that Lawrence [who Roivas had deal with the issue] declined the betrothal offer. However, she rarely if ever actually shows any of this, or vocalizes any of this. She's very proper after all, and Tarmon is heir to Emeron, while is Sovererign to Franel. It's not her place to outright speak against him.
Dale -
Avoid.
Harriet -
Avoid.
Lillan -
Seems like a very nice girl, and religious, besides. Celeste would actually like to talk to her, if not for the overall wtf of her company ...
Mathilda -
Er ... ah hah, a ... very nice girl ^^ >_>
Raetha -
Reminds Celeste of Lauren, which is points. However, the whole assosciation with Mathilda thing is just not working for her.
Garvey -
No real opinion. Kinda avoids, pirates are bad.
Quinn -
Overall likes him. They probably sorta kinda knew each other maybe pre-Himitsu, since Quinn knew Felicia, and although the whole social awkwardness is a turnoff, Quinn has some interesting things to talk about.
Owen -
No real opinion yet.
Jonathan -
Celeste has a crush on Jon, basically. It's not "romantic feelings," like she has for Lauren, but it's definitely a crush. Please note, Jon reminds her VERY MUCH of Lawrence. lol. She still really respects how he came to Forshen for her, took the little money she could provide, and then just kept giving to her and her friends and family even when they couldn't pay any more. She can kinda sorta ALMOST tell that she doesn't always give everything up, that's why she asks so many probing questions, but she really trusts him anyway. She likes their conversations.
Chiel -
Celeste does not like Chiel. At all. She finds her cruel, horrible, crude, rough, a drunkard, a generally not-good person. She think she only follows Franel because she wants to see them fail, she hates the way that she bullies people, she can't stand her complete lack of anything resembling tact or manners ... I mean, points for egging Tarmon, but even THAT was disrespectful. Celeste knows that it it's a mutual dislike, and she hates THAT, too. She wants everyone to like her. It's a personality flaw. She can't for the life of her understand why Jace seems to like her so much. Ironically, she would feel betrayed and angry if Chiel left.
Alys -
Respects her for the whole "helped Kail and stands up to Chiel and Jace" thing. But avoids her for the whole "really rough around the edges and total heathen" thing.
Mallory -
Never knew quite WHAT to think of her while alive. Now that she's dead ... still doesn't really know.
Rina -
Thinks she seems quite nice and sweet. Because of the giant
Kerrik -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Elthea -
She never really knew Elthea before pre-himitsu, despite how close Franel and Lireth are bonded. She was kind of "the other sister oh what was her name again ...?" the quiet one, the clumsy one, the one who blended into the walls. Now, Celeste avoids the situation, partly because she feeling really really bad about Elthea's entire situation and blames herself partly on some bizarre level. And partly because the entire thing reminds her that no one remembers her.
Eve -
Kinda sorta not sure. Doesn't LIKE Eve so to speak, but certainly doesn't DISLIKE her or anything.
Helga -
Seems nice but kinda ehhhhh she gets on the avoid list for uh yeah, she DOES SEEM NICE!
Crow -
Definitely avoid.
Aine -
She seemed nice, and sweet, but they never really talked. Celeste mourns her, though, for Nessa. She feels horrible for her.
Druce -
She really wanted to get to know him, for Nessa, and because he seemed nice, but found his distant and confusing. She felt betrayed and angry when he left, but doesn't miss him much.
Lest -
Seems like a nice guy, but no real opinion. A little slow?
Elliot -
Nice guy, gets points for being clergy kinda sorta. Loses points for being kinda overbearingly happy, but she likes him. Offering love and cakes everywhere, like, you can't really dislike the guy XD
Nessa -
Nessa ... complicated. Celeste kinda voiced it herself in one of their recent conversations, she thinks of Nessa as a surogate mother. Eria is gone, and Nessa was the first motherly figure nearby. Add to that that in my head, Eria is KINDA like Nessa but a bit more regal and slightly more reserved, and Nessa makes a perfect surogate. Celeste clings to her harder than anyone else in Franelcrew but Lawrence, even though she's not as CLOSE with her as she would like to be. She trusts Nessa infinitely, too. She wants Nessa to marry Keagan, 1) because she's a little matchmaker and 2) to keep Nessa near her, since Keagan has an oath and CAN'T leave her.
Maeve -
Celeste was always vaguely uncomfortable with Maeve, and how she never seemed to really fit in with everyone else. She was relieved when Maeve left ... but NOT when she vanished forever. The whole situation makes her uncomfortable, she strongly avoids thinking about it.
Jordan -
Nice enough, he and Jasmine were very cute, kinda questions his current group, but would like him back, and, yes, felt angry and betrayed when he left. :')
Elden -
Celeste puts Elden on basically the same level as Fayre. A bit lower, actually, for lying about being able to see Franel, never admitting he did it, later, and being a less generally sweet person. The threesome thing with Zach was just the last straw. She does think he's a BRILLIANT actor, and enjoyed his stories, but overall, general not-coolness towards him. Maybe it was hitting on Kail and Sawyer that did it.
Tyre -
"Lauren's cousin," basically. Celeste is turned off my Tyre's unconvential nature, as well as the whole connection with Irene that caused her to be a big bitch to everyone for a while. Snapping at Lawrence was not cool. Kinda avoids.
Zach -
The other Jonathan in her life. Zach reminds her of Lawrence, basically, and, thus, she has sort of latched onto him and crushes on him. He's sweet,
Ash -
Seems nice, never really talked. Wouldn't mind, though. Kind of reminds her of Elliot with less crack, or Lauren with more.
Jasmine -
Sweet girl, nice to talk to, if a little dumb for her. She found the cheerful optimism a really big pick-me up, and really misses it sometimes. Also thought that she and Jordan were cute. Doubts her choice in friends. And, of course, felt angry and betrayed when she left.
Amaeyra -
Celeste really likes Amaeyra. She's a little bit intimdated by the whole beautiful, perfect, untouchable goddess thing -- who wouldn't be -- but she finds her a very kind, gentle, likeable, sweet person, and she was in favour of Lawrence marrying her. Well she never directly talked much to her, she did look up to her a lot.
Isobel -
A pleasant travelling companion. Izzy's chatter never got on Celeste's nerves at all, and she actually really enjoys her company, and loves the music from her pipes. She remember Izzy trying to cheer her up while lawrence was kidnapped, and playing Over the Hills and Far Away with her.
Ren -
No real opinion. Feels a litle bad for his current situation.
Gilbert -
Never talked much, but he makes her nervous. He never does anything visiible, but the crossing out reminds her of Jace and Chiel when they're being horrible, and the things Terrance and Maire have warned about them stand out.
Ian -
TOTALLY unsure of what to think. Could just be poor mechant's son Matthias and Hazel are harrassing, in which case, poor boy, Matthias is an ass. Could actually be Crown Prince of Dentoria, in which case, zomg, Crown Prince of Dentoria, and poor boy, Matthias is an ass.
Marias -
Avoided at all costs before the crazy. Now kinda avoids him and feels bad for him and thinks "geez is this what I was like at Franel ... :/"
Myca -
No real opinion. Curious about him, though, wish he would post in languages she can read more often XD
Eric -
Until recently, she basically looked at Eric as some poophead who made Lauren cry and who she was actually pretty jealous of, since it's pretty obvious that Lauren crushed on him once. But now, she thinks he's kinda sweet ... although she still is jealous of him and doesn't exactly like him.
Lark -
No real opinion. Associates with Crow, should probably be avoided.
Kooly -
See above.
Gideon -
No real opinion. Nice guy, very patriotic, wonders if Lawrence met him in Atsiria.
Jayne -
Jayne is a bitch, and moreover, was a bitch to Lauren. On the avoid list.
Lila -
Celeste is curious about Lila. She's a knight of Lireth, and seems like a nice person. The overall tough attitude is intimidating, though.
Allison -
See above. Replace "Lila" with "Allison." Hm. I think Celeste may recognize Allison from pre-Himitsu, too. She's REALLY good at picking up romantic interest, there's a chance that she knew Allison crushes on Hasten. That would have been a bit awkward, since she was a serious marriage possibility for Hasten, so I figure she would have avoided her.
Xander -
Got minus points for being a shitty brother and Eric's travelbuddy. Currently not sure what to make of him.
Kara -
Avoid list.
James -
Seems like a sweet boy. Never really found time to talk to him.
Randy -
Finds him depressing, and a little shallow. Really not sure what to think exactly, but she doesn't have a lot of interest in getting closer.
Julian -
Hangs around with Fayre and Elden and seems to like them is minus points. Seems like a pleasant guy, though.
Tris -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Freya -
A lot of respect. Celeste is religious, after all, and Freya is kinda this GRAND EPITOME OF RELIGIOUS SANCTITY. She has no real PERSONAL opinion, and all her views are a little shrouded by this bias of HOLY LIGHT SHINING FORTH that she sees in Freya.
Leila -
Doesn't talk enough for Celeste to get a real opinion.
Hasten -
Complicated. She doesn't like Hasten, exactly. But she respects that he and Lawrence were friends, and she trusts Lawrence's judgement. She finds him intimdiating and cold, and is a little afraid to carry a conversation with him, but recognizes that as a third daughter, it's a very fortunate marriage for her, and he's much, much better than Tarmon.
Asher -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Noel -
Seems nice enough, if a bit ... not her type to associate with. No real opinion.
Keane -
He's a jerk. His family threatens Lauren and her family. Bad news.
Leigh -
Avoid. And cover eyes.
Lirit -
Seems linked to whatever it is Irene is involved in, which Celeste is doing her best to avoid and distract Lauren. Thus, she actually knows very little about him.
Fartgus -
She thought he was charming and very likeable, very goodlooking. May have even have had a tiny crush on him, in a girly "wow you're so popular and I know absolutely nothing about you on a personal level" kind of way. And he reminds her more of Lawrence than Hasten does, lol. Lawrence didn't trust him, though, and so, even though she PERSONALLY would have rathered marry him, she followed Lawrence's gut.
Adamm -
Too spazzy and kinda creepy, she avoids. He does, however, drive another nail into the coffin of "Chiel is a really cruel person and not nice at all."
Connor -
Doesn't have any real opinion. But thinks "Glynn" was a nice guy.
Jarek -
Kinda lumps him into that "Sylea" group, but thinks he's a nicer guy than Keane or the sisters ugggggh.
Stephanie -
Cutest little girl ever ;_; Celeste wants to get to know her better, but is worried that she spooked her out by the lack of fitlers in Lauren's birthday thread thing.
Relette -
Avoid at all costs, Sylea people.
Cylina -
MAJOR avoid at all costs, threatened Lauren, the WORST of those Sylea people.
Malcolm -
Seems way too nice to be a Sylea person. But, woefully, is a Sylea person, and thus gets shafted into the "avoid and ignore whilst distracting Lauren" category.
