I'm a mature woman in a committed relationship of many many years. I'm not looking for romance here, but I am more than willing to make friends if we hit it off. I've been roleplaying for over a decade, and in this game for quite a while. We maybe have RPed before on this or other characters I've played. I work from home, which gives me more time to be in the game, but I may not always be available for RP. Please respect me and my time, and I will do my best to treat you with that same respect. Thank you for reading this carrd, by the way. I appreciate it.

concerning me
It's pretty simple, really. Don't be a jerk. Don't expect me to treat my hobby as an obligation. don't be a bigot. Let's keep it light and friendly. And for fuck's sake don't be creepy. I'm here to relax, to write, to enjoy the community, and to escape the real world for just a little while everyday. That is all I'm here for. Not for the ooc drama. If you can just be normalish, we'll likely get along. Thanks!

concerning tilly
While she is not my main character any longer, she has and always will be one of my more important babies. I'm giving her a fresh start here, so if you've interacted with her in the past that may have been retconned. Please understand that it's not a personal thing, in most cases. I just want to give her a fair shot at developing naturally without the baggage. I'm still figuring it all out, bear with me.

ㅤ❝ㅤ Some tales have to be lived to be believed. ㅤ❞ㅤ

physical
Look at her, she's gorgeous. Tilly's body still shows the gifts of her youth, and the blessings past down by her family. Tall, tawny, curvaceous, and fresh-faced, with a head of light blonde hair that is almost always styled to her liking. She looks and smells clean and well-cared for. Every aspect a tool in the arsenal that Tilly keeps sharp for whatever situation she might find herself in. She keeps the make-up light and the perfume subtle. That perfume hints lightly of lavender and citrus. She seems to dress within her budget, but can really stretch a gil in the process. Wearing outfits that compliment her figure and style.

mental
Despite her age, the girl seems worldly, cultured. Tilly is educated, that much is clear. But she also seemed traveled, and comfortable in any far-flung port of call. She also has enough common sense to avoid the impression that she's simply a tourist. She studied up before she came to your town. She knows the names, and how they connect together. And if she hasn't learned yours yet, she will. She's confident, seemingly care-free, and willing to take her time to get the story just right. But otherwise, not the most patient person ever, nope. Nothing's perfect, but some folks enjoy the mess. It makes the story more interesting.

headcanon #1
Tilly is actually good at what she does, and is capable of writing at a higher level of quality than her output suggests. Salacious just sells more, and a girl's got to eat.

headcanon #2
Towards the end of the occupation in Dalmasca, Tilly's family fled to avoid responsibility for their actions during the time garlemald ruled over the former desert kingdom.

Tilly will often use "research" as an excuse to engage in morally questionable activities. She's been a stripper, a prostitute, and a thief, and perhaps worse, but has always eventually written about the experiences in her novels.

headcanon #4
Tilly is an unabashed party girl. Despite that, she doesn't often partake in hard drugs and only seems to drink socially. She's never really been a buzzkill about it, though.

T.C. Dawnrite

T.C. Dawnrite has managed to take the literary world by storm in the past five turns with a fresh perspective and unmistakable gift for the written word. Her voice is unique and imaginative, taking on the major topics and events of our time and turning them into page turners.Dawnrite manages to skirt the line between romance and erotica while injecting a palpable excitement and historical context to craft stories that keep people coming back for more. She already has a reputation as a prolific writer, managing to never make her fans wait overlong for the next book.Dawnrite also works as a columnist for several newspapers and periodicals across the realm. She asks the questions many are too afraid to broach. Fearlessly doing what's needed to get her story.

The Current Project

The King of Pearl Lane will be Dawnrite's first full length non-fiction book, but the life and times of Nikklaus Shadecross is as captivating a topic as any she has tackled in any her fictional offerings.More than just another rags to riches fairy tale, Shadecross has lived a life many wouldn't believe, and few fully understand. While many have their own preconceptions of the man and his empire, only Dawnrite has been given the access and literary freedom to tell the full story.Instead of hearing bits and pieces from those who have made a life of tearing him down, Shadecross will finally set the record straight. But Dawnrite isn't going to just take his word for it. She plans on interviewing the people closest to the man, friend and foe alike, to get the complete picture of a man who has bucked convention, lives life on his own terms, and has grown from humble origins to make Ul'dah his city.We hope you'll look forward to The King of Pearl Lane when it eventually releases.
