Another installment in my series of "ocs running my brain".
Send me an ask with an emoji and a character name, and I'll give you a fun fact or a snippet of writing that relates to both.
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
who else celebrates halloween but it's completely different from the way everyone else celebrates halloween so you are scared to say you celebrate it bc it could give people the wrong idea of how you celebrate it or something (like glorifying gore or watching horror movies or dressing up with fake blood or idk)
We just dress up as favorite characters and it's another reason to get together with family.
Umbra 🛡️
Oooo good one. Well, she is very guarded, especially with her mind. She feels like if anyone knew what was in her head, they'd look at her as a monster (and a recent villainous role in a play made her wonder if the weeks of being immersed in the role would push her to become like the character). But she goes on the offense when someone talks about it. And her mind is overshadowed by so many things. Here are a few little snippets where this is showed
-----
“Umbra, I know what you fear.” Umbra’s expression darkened. “But listen to my words, for we have little and waning time.” She stood still as a monument, her eyes avoiding his. “You fear what effect this role, this woman, may have upon you.” He knows. Umbra was in shock and she felt a tear on her face from realizing the sheer awfulness this thought seemed to carry. Out on the stage, she heard the lines close to her queue

She grew angry with him, and whipped around to meet his desperate gaze with her cold, dark, blue eyes. The fierceness seen there made Alistair falter. He glanced at his hand gripped around her arm, then quickly released his hold and stepped back. Umbra did not speak, but in response to his plea only drew back the curtain staunchly, and walked out onto the stage, letting her role sink into her, to spite Alistair. But also, to her, to show that he was wrong about what he said was in her mind. She felt the eager eyes of the large crowd upon her, and she relished it.

And yeah this is at the beginning and she makes some mistakes (for a reason). She has much to learn
FINALLY finished sunrise on the reaping...
