Assigning this to a character comes with free ironic foreshadowing. Lmao.

Prudence Appeldoorn + Clothing

She may have given up wealth a while ago, but Prudy held on to her style pretty tightly, with the exception of slightly more playful prints and colours. She favours jewel tones, flashy hats, a modern puff sleeve and slick, black boots which she protects from scuffs and wear. Unfortunately, after having a number of garments stolen from her in her current home, most dresses stay tucked away for special occasions, but she still donnes a nice jacket for the occasional walk about town. She won't let people forget where she came from.

26 prudy

26. What is something that will never fail to get them horny?

I mean-- other than being one of the horniest characters I have. >.> There are a few specifics.

1. Praise of any kind. Be it a 'Good girl' or 'That's my girl', even in a completely innocent context, she feels it in places. 2. Dancing close. It's just a little scandalous, then combined with the scent of cologne, breathing on necks and hmmmmmmmmmmmmm (bonus points to Bay Rum cologne, know'm'sayin?)

3. Kissing, lips touched/brushed, fingers in the mouth, etc. Her lips are a major erogenous zone and so she enjoys anything that allows them to be touched.

🪡 sally and prudy

(I let them smile in their pics... just this once. Lol.)

Prudence was obviously nervous to meet Sally one day, but after hearing years worth of stories about her from John, she almost felt as though she already knew her. She knew her likes and dislikes, her routine, her habits, etc, before even knowing the sound of her voice.

Sally was crucial to adjusting Prudence to life in the wilderness. She made her feel comfortable, but wouldn't over-shelter her from this new life. Those born into it have a chance, but the exiled rarely survive, and Prudence needed and appreciated the help. She is also possibly the only person whose advice she never doubts. If Sally says 'hide here', Prudence says 'Yup'.

Prudence thinks Sally is incredibly impressive and all-in-all just a good woman. She tells her that she wants to ve 'half the mother she is, one day', which nearly makes Sally cry.

Sometimes having Sally around makes Prudence miss Della (her own mother), but the two are pretty different, so this passes.

--

Sally absolutely adores Prudence. Though at first she was deeply concerned about her son's relationship with Prudy, she saw how happy and dedicated he became, and how he even became more cautious in everyday life since getting close to her.

As she couldn't go into the city to meet her, Sally had John (and even the other two) tell her lots about the girl, to the point where when Prudence showed up at their doorwa, rather scuffed up, Sally immediately called her by her name, despite only ever hearing descriptions of her face.

All her doubts faded soon after, for she was able to see first-hand that this girl clearly loved Sally's son.

In the wilderness, Sally is terrified for Prudence's safety. When John tells Sally that he 'Has to marry her", Sally answers "Of course you do. You gotta take care of that sweet girl."

They spend a good amount of time together, with Sally teaching Prudence a lot of basic household skills, and her adoration is apparent, with Sally regularly calling her "Honey," and "Dear". She thanks her for making her son happy and even for 'joining the family'.

All-in-all, they're very close.

send me a 🪡 + two characters and i’ll talk about their dynamic!

🪡 prudy and martha

Initially, Martha intimidated Prudence more than the other scavengers who'd visit the Gal. The others would settle in after their jobs were done, drink, laugh and be human. Martha? Martha wouldn't stick around. Once business was through, she'd disappear, not allowing anyone a glimpse of that humanity. This made her foreign, unknowable, more unsettling.

However, as she bonded with John, she started to see Martha more and more, interacting once every few visits. Plus, John attested to Martha's caring heart and curious nature, and Prudence trusted in that and let the intimidation wear off.

The circumstances that had them interacting regularly, Prudence did her best to befriend Martha at an easy pace, trying to get a laugh out of her.

Prudence would once say to her "You have brothers...I may never see my sisters again. I was hoping we might be sisters to each-other, given the circumstances."

--

Understandably, Martha thought little of Prudence in the beginning. She thought the girl's profession amusing, but figured she was little more than an exciting little thing that caught her baby brother's interest.

When she did have an opinion, it wasn't great. She watched John become enamored with Prudence over time, and didn't like the way he pushed away any talk of the future for their seemingly doomed romance. She'd laugh and tease John for his fling just like everyone else, but deep down it worried her.

After Prudence came to live with them, Martha opened up much faster. It helped that Prudence was hilarious, and helped her play jokes on the boys. Despite her initial hardness, Martha took little time to accept Prudence into the family, and in a few scenes the girls are even seen comforting one-another.

send me a 🪡 + two characters and i’ll talk about their dynamic!

🕷 prudy

🕷 the web - what would your character least like to be forced or tricked into doing? What would it take to get then to do it?

That's tricky. Prudence's pride survives on her body autonomy, free will and refusal to be controlled. There are so many things she'd hate being forced to do, simply because she'd been forced. She was already given little choices growing up, she'd study what she was told to, speak when told to and be silent when told to, almost entirely suppressing her goofy, outgoing nature. She had little choice when married off to a childhood friend she had no interest in. Even their separation wasn't her doing, but merely an act of mercy. The first time in her life that Prudy belonged to herself was the moment she became a performer. Despite it alienating her from her loved ones, she could dress how she wanted, she could dance, cuss, drink, fuck, feel how she wanted and love who she wanted-- and only if she wanted to. So really, anything that took those choices from her would break her spirit. The biggest ones would be forcing her to lose or harm either her second family at the club, or lose or harm John, all of these people are not only dear, but represent her liberation, and the only people to meet and love Prudence's true self. Ergo, the only way she'd do such a thing is potentially to protect them or another from a worse fate, or if physically forced. But, as I said, this would absolutely break her. The few she's been able to love, she's done so fiercely.

Character - PRUDENCE APPELDOORN

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

A daughter of the powerful Appeldoorn family in Opportunity, Prudence's family made the city what it is today. However, Prudence herself has barely been acknowledged as a Appeldoorn in years.

The family disappointment, forever unwilling to suppress her loud personality in favour of the traditional life her family promotes, Prudence fled home years ago, and their lives have gone on without each-other, so far.

Instead, Prudence has taken on a much more suitable role in downtown life, as a comedienne in a popular cabaret, singing, dancing and dressing to make the crowd belly-laugh between risqué burlesque performances and glitzy magic shows.

However beloved, this life isn't without its struggles. After growing up affluent, in the safest part of one of the safest cities, Prudence now lives above the club with several other girls, drinks a little too heavily and often lets her mouth and sense of humor get her into trouble.

She has hundreds of friends, but little true affection-- and the only constant love she knows lives beyond the city, under constant threat.

Still, night after night, Prudence rouges her cheeks and prances onto stage, leaving them all in hysterics. To most-- she is no longer an Appeldoorn; she's just another showgirl.

However, she frequently wonders how long the true Appeldoorns will allow her to carry on this way, dancing around their influential name in brightly-patterned drawers.
