AU Fun Facts
Reader:
- Reader lives in a coastal village and mainly works as an apothecary selling medicine
- Reader is a descendant from a pagan tribe that worships the Sea and has magical powers
- Reader and their (passed away) mother who are Sea witches and is an open fact actually has friendly relationships with the people in the village
- Reader is STRICTLY gender-neutral. Though they do have a slightly feminine appearance because they are a spinning image of their mom
- Reader tends to wear their Mom’s shawl and robes underneath their shirt and shorts as a form of remembrance to her. Although this does cause a silly rumor among the young kids that the “Sea Witch of the village” is immortal due to resembling their mom a lot.
- They used to have long hair before they met Sun and Moon. But they cut it short to make the handfasting cords for the sirens to weave it using their hair. When a Sea witch has a spouse or romantic partner, they weave their hair into a protective charm for them to symbolize sharing a part of their life with them for weddings or engagements.
Sun and Moon:
- Sun’s reasons for travelling was because ever since he was young he has always been curious about the outside world instead of staying inside their small home and family
- Moon’s reasons for travelling was because he used to be constantly bored living a solitary life deep in the seas. It was thanks to meeting Sun by chance who convinced him to try going on a journey.
- The two of them first met when Sun and Moon got into a territorial fight when Sun had accidentally trespassed Moon’s home deep in the seas. They actually ended in a tie and this brought mutual respect in each other for putting up a good fight.
- When they were stranded and first met Reader they were actually scared shitless when they saw that reader was walking on water when they came to investigate. Sun and Moon thought of them as hauntingly beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
- It’s how Sun came up with the idea to call a cute pet name for reader like “Spookie” later on when they became friends and than lovers. They don’t mind it.
- I completely forgot to draw it in their reference. But Moon has scar on the side of their body from an old injury that Reader helped with treating when they first met.
- The sirens love begging Reader for homemade food or fresh fish they catch or buy. They grew to become a pair of foodies when it comes to human cuisine and they also wanted excuses for reader to spoil them as well.
