Character: Joshua Rosfield | empyreancatastrophe Canon: Before the final push to Origin (I may canon update him to include the Echoes of the Fallen DLC sometime in the future) About: Joshua’s profile card can be found here, which will have all the info needed (plus a link to his app)!
PLANS General: Short-Term
Looking into the treatments offered by Orkili to help with offsetting his nostilium intake. He’s finally starting to feel some of the negative effects, and it’s going to worry him that the usual purification techniques aren’t working as well but will he tell anyone? nope.
He wants to find that noctaere that’s running loose
In lighter news, he has a chocobo named Alder that he’s raising to eventually become a mount! He’ll need someone to bird-sit while he’s in Orkili.
Long-Term
He’s semi-primed a few times now; he’s going to aim for strengthening his dreamotion over the next couple of months. A special thanks to everyone who's had their characters train with him! I'd like to continue that if possible (behind the scenes mostly, but check-ins here and there)
Like mentioned above, raising his chocobo so he can ride him around
I’d like for him to network more so he can start making some diplomatic moves
Man, he's not feeling too great after eating all that nostilium. Sure hope that's not foreshadowing for potential character story down the line (way down the line. Like turbo long-term)
Continuing to make friends!
Event: Joshua is going to be the prince from The Sleeping Prince. I have a few plans to make it engaging/like an adventure for any characters who may want to participate. I’ll finally get to use my Phoenix icons
Overall, I'm taking it relatively easy with plotting this month. I'd like to put my focus into one or two big things while wrapping smaller things. However, if there's anything that you'd like to do, hit me up and we'll find a way to make it happen!
Etc.: Something cool this time instead of my usual shitposts
Hello!! Me too--I love their teacher-student dynamic.
And thanks for letting me know re: spoilers! I'll be sure to keep away from anything story related until you're all caught up. That said, what did you have in mind regarding interactions between them? :>
For the dream board, the archery prompt would be interesting (tho it may lead to spoilers, depending on where you’re at in 16!). If you want to play it safe, the nekomata prompt would also be a lot of fun!
Otherwise, Joshua is also going to be a sleepwalker for the event. In his case, he’s going to take on a role where he’ll need rescuing. Depending on the idea you have for Ira, that could also be something to look into!
I lean towards the Nekomata prompt, if only because I'm still fairly early on in FFXVI? (I'm at the part where Clive, Jill and Cid are on their way to the Mother Crystal, and then, you know, sidequests happen because Clive is just such a nice guy who has to help everyone). That might be the way to go.
Since they will be both sleepwalkers though, it might be a chance to help each other out, or stage their own rescue.
Good to know! Thank you (also I hear you on the side quests 😭).
I plan on topleveling for the event, so what I can do is include the nekomata prompt along with the sleepwalking prompt. Since Joshua will be (literally) sleeping through most of his sleepwalking story, I plan on making the prompt more of a guided choose-your-own adventure. If that’s something that will fit with Ira’s sleepwalking role, then we can go with that! Otherwise, we’ll have the dream board to fall back on!
Character: Ira | iracorn Canon: Kingdom Hearts; Post KH3 About: Ira is a Keyblade Master from one of the earliest known points of the KH Timeline. And also was kind of involved in a pivotal event known as the Keyblade War. Still feels kinda bad for that one. But he's doing his best.
PLANS General: Continuing from last month, we are still working on Healing Ira's Heart With Soft Things.
-I definitely want to carry forward with the momentum from his previous network post with Roxas and to start really building those relationships, beyond just apologizing for Roxas.
-Someone give this guy a hug at least.
Dream Board: I was considering the Starlight Smooches or a Helping Hand
Event: Ira will probably have a toplevel. - I don't really have a fairy tale in mind for him and am honestly rubbish at coming up with them, so suggestions are welcome.
-Ira's just going to have colourful bubbles, but they might be kind of dull due to his Heart. But maybe this is a chance for it to get better.
-Ira will be taking the role of a Sleepwalker, and will need to be rescued.

Character: Helga Pataki | heartatsunder Canon:Hey Arnold!, almost immediately after The Jungle Movie About: An 11-year-old girl who copes with familial neglect by making it everybody else's problem. Actually a solid friend once you get on her good side; it's just not always clear what that good side is. Oh, and she harbours an insanely intense crush on the first boy who was nice to her. The Jungle Movie has made her slightly better about all of this.
PLANS General: She is a little more cooperative in Reverein now! As in she has a person or two she actually considers friends (or at least companions), two or three people keeping an eye on her like tentative foster parents, and everyone else who's probably just Concerned.gif. She's trying to figure out more ways to revive her Dreamotion energy and is annoyed that the one dream of hers that got recorded highlighted her family life and insecurities was boring and mundane but people saw it anyway. Essentially, Reverein is a chisel constantly chipping away at her outer shell until it cracks. Let's get crackin', gang! Dream Board: I ACTUALLY HAVE A DREAM BOARD PLAN THIS TIME HOLY CRAP she's going to tell the Nekomata a tragic love story. Will it be about her or someone else? Will it be too vague to tell? WHO KNOWS. Event: You bet your ass I'm toplevelling. This little brat is going to become a Sleepwalker (she won't even need pork rinds to do it!) and assume the role of Odette - yes, that's the Swan Lake chick. This means she'll be mostly a bird save for nighttime where she'll lament her tragic curse, pine in sorrow for "her true love" to declare their eternal devotion to her, and other over-the-top performances that'll make Anne Shirley proud. I am open to requests for what memories are found in the jar.
Obviously, her true love isn't actually in the game, but friendship bubbles will happen and she'll be very embarrassed about them once she's awake again.

Character: Azula | itstillhurts Canon: Immediately after the events of The Search (Plus a brief CRAU) About: A war criminal, a princess, a competent strategist, a surprisingly physically capable fighter and athlete. And she shoots fire and lightning sometimes! She's also healer here in Somnius, which is about as pleasant for the person being healed as you'd expect. Overbearing, paranoid, cynical to the point of misanthrophy, convinced she's the smartest person in every room, generally just an unpleasant person. Pick a family member, she has that-family-member-issues.
After a year and a half of time away from her issues, she's a little less violent, a little less antisocial, and a little more in touch with her feelings now. Please do not for a moment believe that this means she's normal, healthy, or reasonable.
PLANS General: Oh, she's just grappling with the weight of her enormous self-loathing now that she can no longer ignore it vibing at the moment. Dream Board: She may have an Awkward Encounter at the archery range. Fortunately, nobody else will notice, so it's fine, r i g h t?
I may also have her try to help with the Nekomata or the disembodied hand, both of which she is very poorly equipped to deal with, so that's fun.
Event: Azula will not be a sleepwalker or a villain because I have decided for once in my life to have mercy. She will in fact be available to help "rescue" people, which she is not good at but she'll try anyway, bless her. (Hope you like your conflicts resolved with violence.)
Her role in the Pied Piper's forest will be a combination of Little Red Riding Hood and Rose-Red, which means she'll have a basket of mundane item summoning goodies and the ability to tame beasts in place of her firebending. I'm also willing to have her help destroy flutes with somebody, if that sounds like fun to you.

Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles Canon:Hazbin Hotel, right after cooking jambalaya for the hotel residents at the end of the pilot About: Alastor is a demon from literal Hell. In life he was a radio broadcaster and serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism. He died and went to Hell, eliminating all of the old Overlords upon arrival. He himself then decided to just let others take the territory and do whatever entertained him...only after nine decades he's gotten pretty bored of Hell.
He likes to screw with people and takes delight in others' suffering. However, he has a warped moral compass that compels him to protect the weak. He's taken to traveling to various people's nightmares with the idea of being entertained. He'll step in when he thinks it's not being fun anymore.
During the two years he’s been in Reverein, he’s grown to genuinely love the place. As a result, if something threatens the town, he’ll step up with none of the usual pretext. He’ll still be acting like this is all grand fun (and it is!) but he’ll risk his existence to keep his personal Eden safe.
Plans: General Plans Since arriving with the first group, Alastor has been slowly working his way towards becoming a guardian though he'll never admit to such a position. He likes hopping from nightmare to nightmare to witness all the fun forms of torment but if someone is weak, he'll step in due to his moral code. He can't be relied upon to save others, but as time went on and he started to care more, he could at least be counted on to pull people out of jams under the pretense that he thought the challenge might be entertaining.
Recently, he’s started really stepping up, risking existence to keep Reverein as a whole safe and having a grand time doing it. He’s put a lot of work into this town including adding a radio studio where anyone can broadcast and he intends to see it continue.
Honestly, he always needs more friends. Being the boogeyman of Hell means that he doesn't get much socializing in. Arguably one reason he bargains in souls is to collect people who won't leave him. Despite his time in Reverein, he's still largely used to having people fleeing before he can even finish saying "hello". Redemption is a big theme in Hazbin Hotel but it's doubtful that Charlie's more idealistic measures would really work for him. He's lonely but his social skills are incredibly rusty.
Fair warning though: Alastor picks favorites but he's a pretty amiable (if kind of terrifying) person all around. Once he's decided you're one of his favorites, he'll invade your personal space every opportunity he gets though he won't let you touch him unless it's on his terms. So be prepared to be pulled in for random side-hugs, song-and-dance numbers, and other such nonsense.
Month-Specific Plans Love is in the Air No romantic relationships this year but feel free to sneeze roses if you have a crush on him. He'll be baffled and awkwardly offer a handkerchief because what's this all about?
For the most part, friendships and even those he has animosity with would be tons of fun. :)
Canon Update From February 15th through the 22nd, Alastor is going to zonk out and sleep for several days as he gets updated through Season 1 of Hazbin hotel! Hooray!Especially since the pilot is still canon and I don't have to think about how to retcon everything!
I'll put an in-character post up that 666 AM is going dark for a while as Alastor sleeps. Just people tuning in to hissing static rather than Alastor actively broadcasting or just playing whatever songs are running through his head. People can use that to react and interact with one another if they want. He'll send out a broadcast when he's wide awake again though he's going to be a bit cagey on what he saw. Partially because of trauma from the finale hitting way too close to home after the whole "Nightmare Chernobyl" thing that could have happened. He's trying to process but the show must go on!
Once Upon a Fairytale On the fence on if Alastor will be a sleepwalker or "hero". On the one hand, it'd bug the hell out of him if he woke up from one long nap only to unexpectedly take another. That and the guy needs a little fantasy and fun after all the canon trauma. On the other hand, him being the "hero" by being the villain or something similar would also be fun since canon trauma is going to brew away beneath the surface. Could twist his appearance to reflect all the negative energy that's gonna be buzzing in him. It'll definitely screw with his head.
Open to opinions!
Dream Board Plans Goldenclaw Valentine's Special Alastor is making it his mission to burn every last copy of the book that has stories about him in it. Amazingly enough, there aren't stories of him acting like a fool trying to attract the object of his affection's attention, but there are a lot of stories from when he was both alive and dead of him being the subject of someone else's and him either completely missing the message or not. Like how Mimzy was obsessed with him during their days at the speakeasy.
And buried near the end is a tale from Madhuri and Gra'ha's wedding when Alastor and Angel Dust had their dance that Alastor had briefly experienced something that could be called "love"...
A Helping Hand Alastor isn't bothered by this thing and doesn't see a reason to dispel it. Though it'd be hilariously ironic if he assisted in dispeling it by treating it with the same easy acceptance as he does Mary Lwyd. Hello, fellow dead friend!
If you need any swaying for the Sleepwalker vs. Hero decision... if Alastor rescues Helga, she'll be very annoyed and he can use it to say she owes him a favour :V
(Also sorry I've been slow with our current thread, but it's easy to deduce that she won't like him much by the time they finally separate hehehehe)
Slacking off on your radio job, huh? This little flower will surely capitalize on it. You snooze you lose, Alastor.
But when the radio demon DOES do the dreamboard thing, Flowey is bery much capable of assisting. See, back in the underground, he's read every book and he's burned every book.
Hey there. Anya will fall for the fairy tale curse hard and will not be herself for most of it, acting out on the role of Maid Maleen. If he wants to, Alastor has the options to be the prince, the maid and the ‘false’ bride to act out on her. I think that he will love being the false bride role a lot.
Trust me, she will be grateful for him once he tries to snap her out of that curse and find her jar of memories.
I’m also planning on having Isa going after the flute as well so she might be seeking out a partner to assist her on the quest.
The flute search and destruction will be a great stress reliever for Alastor as much as it will be one for Isa. They will be great destressing buddies during these incoming trying times. Get your best set of powers, pal ‘cuz it’s cursed flute season!
Character: Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna ‘Anya’ Romanova of Russia | grandduchess_anya Canon: Anastasia (1997), Near the end of the film plus Forgotten Tales CRAU About: Anya is a very fictionalized version of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who managed to survive a family tragedy with amnesia and goes on a quest to find her identity with two guys and her dog, while avoiding being attacked by a vengeful Rasputin and his green minions. She can be snarky AF, but she is also kind, loyal, determined, and creative in her art and thinking skills.
It is also worth noting that Anya comes in from the end of Forgotten Tales where she was among the Aspects fighting off the Story Eater who arrived to Songerein when it tried to flee from them during the last battle.
PLANS General: Anya has a job as a seamstress at Madame Blackbird so if you happen to frequent the place she is there to talk to. In addition, she is currently training her dreamotion skills and learning to fight with weapons too, so far she does do well with brooms, feather dusters, daggers, and swords. Dream Board: Anya is going to join Iris in the Nekomata quest, likely telling a story (not sure which one) right before the Pied Piper decided to curse the Wildlands. Event: Anya may have a history of fairy tale based dreamshifts but she is not safe from the Pied Piper’s curse this month. So into fairy tale character mode she goes. In this messed up forest, she will be taking the role of Maid Maleen: switching between kitchen maiden and bride forms, carrying a knife dagger, and prattling about nettle plants and having some limited plant manipulation. Also a pretty good cook too, if anyone wants to apply as the roles of the Prince, the maid and the false bride, feel free to plot away.
Finding the jar of her memories won’t be this hard but it might take a while to convince Maleen!Anya to get her back to normal. Good luck with that, folks. Even when she’s not herself, she’s still stubborn AF.
Etc.: Well, this isn’t the first time Anya fell for something like this.
Character: Isabela Madrigal | senorita_perfecta Canon: Encanto, Post Film About: Isabela is the eldest of the Madrigal grandchildren and a former golden child who had to hide her own dreams and identity in a façade of perfection from years of having to live by people’s expectations. Until her baby sister Mirabel accidentally turned a marriage proposal dinner upside down, giving her an epiphany to let her true rebellious self out there and go nuts with her gift’s potential.
PLANS General: Isabela is running her own flower shop and she is hiring some more employees to help her out. There is so much one lady can do as a shopkeeper. Also trying to learn to play with other elements besides plants and wind, currently working on fire and water via her Princess All Kinds of Fur Essence. Dream Board: Nothing at the moment but she is available to assist in anyone else out. Event: Isa, being a stubborn as a mule gal, won’t be affected by the curse so she will be herself: pure unhingedness, pollen hair dye and plant control and all. She will take on whatever role your sleepwalker will see her as (ie. Fairy Godmother to your Cinderella, Big Bad Wolf to your Little Red Riding Hood). And she is going to be having headaches for weeks just trying to get people back to normal.
She will participate in finding and breaking that pesky flute because there is no way that she will want that curse to linger on for the next month and she really wants to help out so badly. Please be her flute destroying partner, please! Isa is begging you all to help her.
Etc.: Whenever Isabela tries to keep up with appearances but wants to get out of it very badly:
We already came up with plans in another thread but seeing the image at the end kind of makes me feel like Alastor would coach her on the "proper" use of a smile like he did Charlie:
"Just because you see a smile, don't think you know what's going on underneath! A smile is a valuable tool, my dear: It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that, no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control!"
Your grandma may have intended that smile for you to be perfect, but she really did train you in one of the greatest weapons you can always have on hand!
Character: Pauline Bonheur Canon: One week after her 16th birthday (has since turned 17 in-game)
About: Pauline is a regular girl from Earth circa 2010. She's friendly and kind but also anxious and insecure about her place in the world and in the lives of others. She works hard to make up for her self-perceived inferiority and is a bit of a doormat. It's easy to get her to do work for little to no reward, especially if one really stresses how "helpful" it might be.
Abilities:A bunch of regular kid abilities. She can bake and clean pretty well, but she doesn't have any supernatural abilities or anything like that. She does have little scraps of knowledge from doing work for various clubs back home ex: EX: She can sew up a small hole in a piece of clothing, but can't do major alterations.
PLANS General: Pauline is in the process of learning Dreamotion. Once she starts getting better, her abilities will start off at something akin to party tricks (ex:maybe baking cookies without an oven.) I'm also toying with the idea of her learning some kind of non-dreamotion combat ability or picking up some kind of hobby.
Event: Not sure if I'll top level or not but my current plans are for Pauline to be a sleepwalker in the role of Red Hooded Hunter a swordgirl version of Red Riding Hood that escaped from the wolf unscathed...unlike her poor Grandma. She roams the woods, protecting travelers from the dangerous beasts of the forest...however Pauline's physical abilities don't really match up with this role, so she'll still be a little clumsy.
CR Dreams: Anything! Pauline is a people pleaser and is pretty easily convinced to do favors or just straight up menial tasks though she's recently been having some thoughts about this part of herself. Still she'll be dragged into shenanigans pretty easily? Maybe other teens to do teen stuff with. I'd like for her to maybe make connections with some trusted adults; she's been more or less without regular adult supervision in her day to day for a while and could used some Friendly(???) Adult Guidance.

People can use that to react and interact with one another if they want. He'll send out a broadcast when he's wide awake again though he's going to be a bit cagey on what he saw. Partially because of trauma from the finale hitting way too close to home after the whole "Nightmare Chernobyl" thing that could have happened. He's trying to process but the show must go on!
Once Upon a Fairytale
On the fence on if Alastor will be a sleepwalker or "hero". On the one hand, it'd bug the hell out of him if he woke up from one long nap only to unexpectedly take another. That and the guy needs a little fantasy and fun after all the canon trauma. On the other hand, him being the "hero" by being the villain or something similar would also be fun since canon trauma is going to brew away beneath the surface. Could twist his appearance to reflect all the negative energy that's gonna be buzzing in him. It'll definitely screw with his head.
Open to opinions!
Dream Board Plans
Goldenclaw Valentine's Special
Alastor is making it his mission to burn every last copy of the book that has stories about him in it. Amazingly enough, there aren't stories of him acting like a fool trying to attract the object of his affection's attention, but there are a lot of stories from when he was both alive and dead of him being the subject of someone else's and him either completely missing the message or not. Like how Mimzy was obsessed with him during their days at the speakeasy.
And buried near the end is a tale from Madhuri and Gra'ha's wedding when Alastor and Angel Dust had their dance that Alastor had briefly experienced something that could be called "love"...
A Helping Hand
Alastor isn't bothered by this thing and doesn't see a reason to dispel it. Though it'd be hilariously ironic if he assisted in dispeling it by treating it with the same easy acceptance as he does Mary Lwyd. Hello, fellow dead friend!

(Also sorry I've been slow with our current thread, but it's easy to deduce that she won't like him much by the time they finally separate hehehehe)

And don't worry about it, hon! Things happen! I was largely distracted this month, too!

But when the radio demon DOES do the dreamboard thing, Flowey is bery much capable of assisting. See, back in the underground, he's read every book and he's burned every book.
no subject
And you assisting will cost what exactly?
no subject
Trust me, she will be grateful for him once he tries to snap her out of that curse and find her jar of memories.
I’m also planning on having Isa going after the flute as well so she might be seeking out a partner to assist her on the quest.
no subject
I picked this icon just because it's close to icon twinsies ha haI'll need to look up the fairy tale but that does sound like it'd be fun!
And Alastor would definitely be happy to go after the flute. He's gonna have a lot of stress to work through after his canon update!
no subject
The flute search and destruction will be a great stress reliever for Alastor as much as it will be one for Isa. They will be great destressing buddies during these incoming trying times. Get your best set of powers, pal ‘cuz it’s cursed flute season!

Mari | Anastasia and Isabela
Contact:
Anastasia Romanova | Anastasia (1997)
Canon: Anastasia (1997), Near the end of the film plus Forgotten Tales CRAU
About: Anya is a very fictionalized version of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who managed to survive a family tragedy with amnesia and goes on a quest to find her identity with two guys and her dog, while avoiding being attacked by a vengeful Rasputin and his green minions. She can be snarky AF, but she is also kind, loyal, determined, and creative in her art and thinking skills.
It is also worth noting that Anya comes in from the end of Forgotten Tales where she was among the Aspects fighting off the Story Eater who arrived to Songerein when it tried to flee from them during the last battle.
PLANS
General: Anya has a job as a seamstress at Madame Blackbird so if you happen to frequent the place she is there to talk to. In addition, she is currently training her dreamotion skills and learning to fight with weapons too, so far she does do well with brooms, feather dusters, daggers, and swords.
Dream Board: Anya is going to join Iris in the Nekomata quest, likely telling a story (not sure which one) right before the Pied Piper decided to curse the Wildlands.
Event: Anya may have a history of fairy tale based dreamshifts but she is not safe from the Pied Piper’s curse this month. So into fairy tale character mode she goes. In this messed up forest, she will be taking the role of Maid Maleen: switching between kitchen maiden and bride forms, carrying a knife dagger, and prattling about nettle plants and having some limited plant manipulation. Also a pretty good cook too, if anyone wants to apply as the roles of the Prince, the maid and the false bride, feel free to plot away.
Finding the jar of her memories won’t be this hard but it might take a while to convince Maleen!Anya to get her back to normal. Good luck with that, folks. Even when she’s not herself, she’s still stubborn AF.
Etc.: Well, this isn’t the first time Anya fell for something like this.
Isabela Madrigal | Encanto
Canon: Encanto, Post Film
About: Isabela is the eldest of the Madrigal grandchildren and a former golden child who had to hide her own dreams and identity in a façade of perfection from years of having to live by people’s expectations. Until her baby sister Mirabel accidentally turned a marriage proposal dinner upside down, giving her an epiphany to let her true rebellious self out there and go nuts with her gift’s potential.
PLANS
General: Isabela is running her own flower shop and she is hiring some more employees to help her out. There is so much one lady can do as a shopkeeper. Also trying to learn to play with other elements besides plants and wind, currently working on fire and water via her Princess All Kinds of Fur Essence.
Dream Board: Nothing at the moment but she is available to assist in anyone else out.
Event: Isa, being a stubborn as a mule gal, won’t be affected by the curse so she will be herself: pure unhingedness, pollen hair dye and plant control and all. She will take on whatever role your sleepwalker will see her as (ie. Fairy Godmother to your Cinderella, Big Bad Wolf to your Little Red Riding Hood). And she is going to be having headaches for weeks just trying to get people back to normal.
She will participate in finding and breaking that pesky flute because there is no way that she will want that curse to linger on for the next month and she really wants to help out so badly. Please be her flute destroying partner, please! Isa is begging you all to help her.
Etc.: Whenever Isabela tries to keep up with appearances but wants to get out of it very badly:

Pauline Bonheur | Original Character
Contact: PM or
Character: Pauline Bonheur
Canon: One week after her 16th birthday (has since turned 17 in-game)
About: Pauline is a regular girl from Earth circa 2010. She's friendly and kind but also anxious and insecure about her place in the world and in the lives of others. She works hard to make up for her self-perceived inferiority and is a bit of a doormat. It's easy to get her to do work for little to no reward, especially if one really stresses how "helpful" it might be.
Abilities:A bunch of regular kid abilities. She can bake and clean pretty well, but she doesn't have any supernatural abilities or anything like that. She does have little scraps of knowledge from doing work for various clubs back home ex: EX: She can sew up a small hole in a piece of clothing, but can't do major alterations.
PLANS
General: Pauline is in the process of learning Dreamotion. Once she starts getting better, her abilities will start off at something akin to party tricks (ex:maybe baking cookies without an oven.) I'm also toying with the idea of her learning some kind of non-dreamotion combat ability or picking up some kind of hobby.
Event: Not sure if I'll top level or not but my current plans are for Pauline to be a sleepwalker in the role of Red Hooded Hunter a
swordgirlversion of Red Riding Hood that escaped from the wolf unscathed...unlike her poor Grandma. She roams the woods, protecting travelers from the dangerous beasts of the forest...however Pauline's physical abilities don't really match up with this role, so she'll still be a little clumsy.CR Dreams: Anything! Pauline is a people pleaser and is pretty easily convinced to do favors or just straight up menial tasks though she's recently been having some thoughts about this part of herself. Still she'll be dragged into shenanigans pretty easily? Maybe other teens to do teen stuff with. I'd like for her to maybe make connections with some trusted adults; she's been more or less without regular adult supervision in her day to day for a while and could used some Friendly(???) Adult Guidance.
Etc.: realtalk i don't remember drawing this

Pauline could use an annoying guy checking in/disrupting her day sometimes!
