TEAM RAIN: ARC 4 CH4 - BEST LAID PLANS

A WRITE UP FOR THE REST OF TEAM RAIN: CHAPTER 4

We open on a scene in Zenith. Viorel and Zelena Braith open Roderick Lincoln’s cell to reveal they have brought him the last remnants of the Lincoln Clan, now with an active aura like him. They present it as company, but note that Gardner Braith will return to drain their aura to replenish his upon their return from hunting Otso Umber.

The clansmen are these;

Crete Reed, A warrior woman based on Britomartis.

Oak Holm, a man who was briefly seen in the back of some Arc 2 shots.

Loden Lincoln, a teenager and third or fourth cousin of Robin.

Primrose, a teenage girl with round glasses.

Fennel, the son of Kodiak Lincoln and around 7-9 years old.

Crete sees Artemis Garland lying on a cot, still comatose but out of the pod she was previously in implying she’s gotten a little stronger. Crete runs to her side.

Sterling Braith enters and tells her not to get attached, ordering the Talos robots to restrain the clansmen. Viorel cautions that there’s no time for his vendetta, to which Sterling responds he’s making time. He advances on Roderick, telling him “Your sister cut my arm off, so it’s lucky for me that you’re here.” Before Roderick can reply, Sterling socks him in the face with one of his new prosthetic arms.

“I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do to you, but if it doesn’t kill you… You’re damn well gonna wish it did.”

Zelena looks slightly shaken and follows Viorel out of the room. Viorel coldly comments that now “the terminal” is fixed, Roderick has outlived his use and this is the least he deserves. Zelena asks if “the terminal” is really going to change anything, to which Viorel grows frustrated and tells her not to have second thoughts - they’ve come this far already; she “isn’t there to think”, and that Kamala will show her no more mercy than “they” did if she backs out.

Lilli Lincoln wakes up in her bed, unable to sleep. She heads downstairs to the kitchen for some water and comes across Petra Redwood. Petra mentions the 7-day time limit Kamala Braith issued Team RAIN, which Lilli didn’t know about. Her expression unreadable, she heads upstairs.

She grabs her labrys.

We cut to Robin asleep in her room. Lilli kicks the door open and slings her buzzsaw-shield at Robin.

ROBIN: What are you doing?! What the hell is this about?!

LILLI: E V E R Y T H I N G ! I’m sick of you, and I’m sick of your stupid face! You always get what you want! Even after coming home and getting dad KILLED!

Lilli swings again.

LILLI: Pitch was the closest thing I had to a friend, and now he’s GONE! I was the LAST ONE to be told about Marina even though I'm FAMILY! You told everyone EXCEPT ME about Mom and Roderick being ALIVE! And I just found out that even though you only have seven days to save them, you go and SLEEP THROUGH ONE--!

Robin blocks one of Lilli’s attacks, and the two are held in stalemate.

ROBIN: LILLI-! What the hell is going on? Why are you always trying to fight me--!?

LILLI: BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER NOTICE I’M THERE!

They relax slightly at this moment of honesty. Lilli smiles weakly.

LILLI: You were always the favorite, even after you got sent away from home. Mom and Dad never shut up about you. “Why can’t you be more like your sister? Why can’t you be more like Robin?” They would’ve switched us without a second thought if it meant getting Robin back.

Lilli relaxes, her arms hanging limp.

LILLI: It’s not like I wanna be mean. It’s just that people only notice me when they’re angry at me. ...They’d just be happier if I was gone, huh?

We see flashbacks to:

Roderick scolding Lilli (pg297)

Artemis Scolding Lilli (pg828)

Marina [then Tobin] scolding Lilli (pg331)

Robin shoving Lilli (pg828)

ROBIN: I should’ve seen the signs. No one wishes you were gone.

LILLI: Don’t. Don’t lie to me like that.

ROBIN: I’m not.

We see a Flashback to Robin saying “there’s nothing I’d rather be than kind” in Arc 3 Ch9 (pg. 746)

ROBIN: We weren’t there for you after what happened back home, and I didn’t even think twice about it. ...But I wanna try to be there for you now, if you’ll let me. Lilli, I’m sorry.

Lilli begins to sob, and Robin reaches out to embrace her sister. Her sister. Who she treated like an enemy for years. She embraces her as Lilli apologizes too, and we see Lilli’s aura activate in a moment of emotional height.

–

Irving, Nyssa, Jin, the Hawthornes, Team ZNON, and Peach’s Team disembark from Raleigh Radcliff’s ship as it touches down in the Tsubaki District.

Farran Hawthorne commends Irving’s bravery in showing mercy to Team ZNON and defeating the rat king, telling him he’s proud. Irving turns around and says he’s not proud of his father for closing ZNON’s school and turning them against him, making them easy to manipulate. He tells his father to use his political power to set them up in a school in Mistral so that the world doesn’t have more Violas to deal with.

Robin and Akane reunite with Irving and Nyssa. Robin says she’s glad Irving’s family made it out safe unlike hers, but Irving cuts her off and tells her it wasn’t her fault - it was bad luck they chose the Lincolns.

Raleigh approaches Team RAIN and tells them they have some explaining to do.

–

We cut to Jin and Peach. Peach reveals she was adopted by a couple who she refers to as “her dad” (Bjorn Vermell) and her “science dad” (Konstantan Vermell). They wanted to get her out of the orphanage after seeing how malnourished she was, and her “science dad” later engineered her prosthetic legs.

Peach asks if the orphanage is still there. Jin tells her the Sisterhood marched in and made sure the kids were safe, while the adults “didn’t hurt anyone else.” She then asks if Peach held the final argument before they were separated against her, and Peach admits she doesn’t even really remember it. Once she knew her parents were good people, she asked Konstantan to put out feelers to find Jin, but by then it was too late.

Jin looks at the old photo of them both, but Peach brushes it away. She tells her that she’s here now, and places Jin’s hand on her heart. The two rest their foreheads against each other.

–

40 years ago.

We see Raleigh Radcliff being congratulated on his victory in the 21st Biennial Vytal Festival.

Briefly we cut away to a young Otso Umber in a medical ward, his head bandaged - his grip tightens on the sheets of his hospital bed in envy as he sees Raleigh reaping the glory.

It’s revealed we’re watching Raleigh’s victory in the present day as a presentation on 58-year-old Raleigh’s scroll. Robin tells him they’re happy to have him along now they’ve seen his skills.

Raleigh reveals that Otso cut off his left leg from below the knee during one of their fights, and that he has a prosthetic - he has his own motives for fighting Otso. Irving questions what originally started their feud, and Raleigh tells him that he took Otso’s place in the tournament finale, after Otso couldn’t compete due to a head injury - and that Otso ‘didn’t deserve the win anyway’.

Raleigh asks what they know about the Braiths; they’re a family of good fighters, proficient with Aura and fusing Grimm and humans. When asked about their weaknesses, Akane recalls that she made Zelena falter when the latter stole her truth semblance.

Akane and Irving surmise that their tech suggests Atlas. Robin recalls Roderick telling her that the Braiths’ base was called Zenith, but Raleigh doesn’t know it and Akane can’t find any info on it on cached offline CCT information on her scroll.

Robin quickly recalls the Crazy Bunch who worked under Sterling and Zelena, and how they managed to apprehend one of them. Raleigh says interrogating him is worth a shot, and takes Akane with him to verify the man’s answers.

–

Nyssa visits home and shares closure over Pitch with her mother, Maera. Murasaki drops in, assuring them that the Sisterhood is in the capable care of Team BRUT. When questioned on how trustworthy BRUT are, Murasaki replies that she is trying to steer them right and give them a purpose, the same way the previous Sisterhood leader did for her.

Murasaki reveals that after she got her head together regarding Pitch, she contacted Maera and the two talked it over. Both of them shared relationships with Pitch, but she won’t go into detail just yet. She regrets not dealing with him the moment she laid eyes on him in the Sisterhood cave.

–

Robin and Lilli are attempting to bond. Robin called Lilli downstairs to ask her if she wants to attend Combat School in Mistral while she and her team venture to Atlas - unless Lilli wants to argue and come with them. Lilli proclaims she’s not an idiot, but seems unconvinced that Elysium Academy will take her. Robin reassures her by complimenting her fighting ability.

Marina interrupts by sticking her head through the wall behind them - revealing that her semblance does not only consist of invisibility, but intangibility. She notes that Robin and Lilli are getting along better, but the same can’t be said for Robin and Marron.

Robin argues that she’s not budging - she won’t get Marron mixed up in her mess again. Marron wants to go to Atlas, but Robin doesn’t - so do they just break up?

Lilli interjects by telling her to compromise, to find a solution that works for both of them. After being pestered by the other two siblings, Robin gets up and agrees to talk it over. When she leaves, Marina tries to banter with Lilli, but the youngest Lincoln sister halts her, unfolds a sheet of paper and reads:

"Please do not attempt to make light conversation or banter with me. You are still complicit in my neglect for your own reasons, and are, therefore, an absolute carbuncle. I forbid you from attempting to take a shortcut by hijacking the effort Robin has made."

Marina is stumped, then admits that’s a fair point.

–

Marron is sitting on the porch of the Tsubaki District house. Robin sits down next to her.

After a moment, Robin asks if Marron knows why she doesn’t want her to come to Zenith, which Marron confirms. Robin tells her that she doesn’t want her to get hurt, which Marron spins back on her - she isn’t going to wait around like a sailor’s wife hoping that Robin might come back, that she doesn’t need Robin’s protection.

Robin begins to observe that they’re at an impasse, but Marron interrupts.

“I need you to show me some trust -- some faith in my judgment. Some faith that I know what to do if things go to hell. I need you to accept that you're not the only one who knows what they're doing. And I need you to understand that my decisions aren’t yours to make.”

Robin takes this in.

She apologises for coddling Marron, and observes that Marron knew how to break Sterling and when to call for her help. She admits that between her father’s death and her treatment of Nyssa and Lilli, her own judgment hasn’t been the best.

She trusts Marron to know her limits and make the right calls.

The two hold hands and stay there on the porch for a while. Slowly, they begin to make small talk about what they’ll do once this is all over.

Character Study: Idolaf Battle-Born

Because I'm tired of seeing how quickly people kill him off, let's see if I can get myself to understand why you would OR show you why you shouldn't.

Feel free to request a character study in my ask box! It will help me keep track of them!

Neurological traits & Personality

There's a good chance he's neurodivergent, please bare with as I'm using my own experiences with this.

This isn't to say this is how all ND people act, although I shouldn't have to clarify that

He has a strong sense of justice - we see this with the imperial legion, he's a very strong supporter

He seems to lack the ability to feel empathy - eg. When talking to Fralia at the market (this isn't to say this applies to all ND people, as some experience quite the opposite)

While this could be just the voice acting, his voice lacks emotion (which i personally struggle with)

He doesn't actually seem to hate the Gray-Manes, only their choice in support. There's no dialogue in game where he insults or "drags" any of the family members. While yes, he can say he wants to throw Avulstein in jail, this can be linked back to the strong sense of justice

THORALD!!! He was looking into it himself, and if your speech is high enough you can persuade him to tell you. While his reasoning is blurry, it can be presumed he asked about because of concern. He mentions that they used to be friends, no doubt close too.

He knew the risks of asking about him, and he tells us he was told to mind his business but kept pushing for an answer

He believes letting the Gray-Manes think Thorald died would've been easier than telling them that no, he's alive, held captive by the Thalmor, in a place where you don't ever come out, and probably being tortured. - sense of Justice AGAIN

He gives you the letter anyway, too!

The market scene reinforces the lack of empathy theory, and the strong sense of justice, because he clearly cared enough about Thorald to go asking about him, had his answers (worse case scenario ones too) and came to the conclusion she was better off not knowing.

I think people tend to forget he grew up around the Gray-Manes too, so he's going to know their character alot better than the DB ever will.

Fralia already seems heartbroken over him going missing, which is probably why he made the decision not to tell her.

Often considered prideful, for example - would rather bend his knee to Ulfric than ask Eorlund for help. Again though, he grew up with the Gray-Manes and so them not picking the same side he did probably hurt like a bitch. (Sense of justiceeee)

Parenting

This part is the only part where I can fully understand why people may not like him as Lars is still being bullied.

There may be multiple reasons for this

Lars hasn't told him - very unlikely though since Alfhild (Idolafs wife) knows about it but he may just be closer with her

Has a more traditional approach to it, and tries to get him to stand up to her, which is most likely as it seems to be a common theme throughout Nords in general that you handle your own problems.

He has spoken to Armen and/or Sapphia about Braiths behaviour, but nothing came of it. Which to be fair is also a decent possibility, as someone who has been bullied most of my school life, typically parental intervention never really helps 💀

Other than that, he seems to try a decent amount. He tries to keep Lars out of trouble with the guards (climbing Dragonsreach cannot be legal 💀🤣), and Lars is outside most of the day too so he probably encourages him to play with the other kids in the hold. (Maybe not braith but yknow)

Anyway, if there's something I've missed feel free to leave a reply, I'm happy to try and explain them some more! :> not that I'm expecting anyone to see this like who actually scrolls Idolaf's tag 💀

Me, I do :)

#Idolaf Battle-Born #skyrim #whiterun #i think he's very overlooked and hated #especially after that market scene #rambles #Rexus' Character Study

There was a young man passed out on Braith's bed. From the look of him, he seem to be some sort of lizard-like Faunus. If the long four foot scaled tail was anything to go by. It seemed that he may have simply mistaken her dorm for his.

'Can I help you?' Braith asked, a little annoyed to find someone in her bed as she and her teammates returned from the Vytal Festival.

'Want me to throw him out?' Valentina, their teams fiery brawler asked.

'Maybe we should just call campus security.' Ala, added. 'Let them handle it.'

'Just wait a moment.' Braith walked up to the young man on her bed and tried to wake him.

'Hey, kind of weird place to sleep buddy. You're in an all girls team's dorm.' She said as he started to come to.

Riiju-Lei: *sighs with relief up at breezehome as they approach through the still quiet early morning streets of whiterun* Home at last…

Nerevar: I passed by this place so many times when I first arrived here and I had no clue you were just behind these doors…

Riiju-Lei: that explains the random bouts of excitement I had then. I played a lot of tag with the kids those days. Speaking of which, I hope Caryalind handled looking after everyone okay- *opens the door to find Lydia cleaning up the mess the kids had made of the house, Khash quietly helping her and Caryalind passed out from exhaustion by the fireplace* oh dear.

Lydia: *looks up* oh my thane!

Khash: DAD!!! *drops the broom and runs to Riiju jumping up into his arms*

Riiju-Lei: *laughs and hugs her tight* Hello little shadowscale!

Caryalind: *jumps and flails out of his chair with a thud* Ugh! Hnuh?? *looks up to see the group entering* You’re back! It went well I take it??

Riiju-Lei: *smiles* better then just well. *sets Khash down gently* Everything… here? Go well?

Caryalind: *still on the floor* Oh yes, just fine, the kids were delightful…

Riiju-Lei: *quirks his brow*

Caryalind: …Alesan put lizards in my underwear, Blaise got caught shoplifting, Sofie kept bringing wild animals into the house and Lucia broke her hand punching Braith in the face… Khash was the only well behaved one.

Riiju-Lei: *sighs* thank you cary, go have a proper rest I’ll get our new friends settled in and make us all breakfast.

Caryalind: new fri- *spots nerevar then goes visibly pink as Miraak suddenly steps over him offering his hand* I-

Miraak: Let me help you up.

Caryalind: oh my you have a very deep voice- *shakily takes his hand and instantly gets pulled to his feet*

Taliesin: *brow twitching feeling protective of his prince* …

Kaidan: *gives his ass a squeeze* oi. Leave him be.

Riiju-Lei: *snickers taking nerevars hand and leading him upstairs as everyone else starts to unpack and relax* I’ll come help you clean up in a minute Lydia, thank you.

Lydia: *smiles at him and nerevar as they go by* thank you my thane.

Nerevar: *follows Riiju upstairs and into the master bedroom* it’s a lovely house you have here, your daughter is adorable too but… her tail- sh- she wasn’t hurt was she?

Riiju-Lei: hm? Oh Khash. No she just wasn’t born with one. She’s small but she’s the oldest of my kids. The others must all be still asleep. Usually she comes along on adventures, she’s an excellent fighter but… given miraak sent cultists after me and they targeted my family specifically… I didn’t feel safe bringing her along. *chuckles* funny how he’s now downstairs wooing the prince of the aldmeri dominion.

Nerevar: *brain short circuiting* I’m sorry he’s the what now?

Riiju-Lei: oh right, there’s a lot you need to catch up on. I’m sure we’ll discuss it over breakfast but let’s get you unpacked first yes? *smiles at him before dropping his pack on the bed to empty it*

Nerevar: … *smiles and gently embraces him from behind, resting his head against his shoulder* you’ve built a beautiful life here LeiLei… you found so many people who love you and a place where you can feel safe.

Riiju-Lei: *gently reaches back running his fingers through his soft white hair* and now I can finally feel that love thanks to you making me whole again… my moon and star…

Nerevar: *slides his hands up his torso beginning to playfully tug at and undo the straps of his armour* there was a place within my heart empty for too long when I was without you… im glad we’re finally together again… My Voryn…

Riiju-Lei: …I think we can wait a few minutes for breakfast don’t you?

*meanwhile downstairs*

Sero: They’re certainly taking a while up thei-

A wine bottle on the kitchen table: 🍾

Kaidan: and they’re fucking.

Taliesin: *sighs* I’ll get breakfast started.

I feel like Bethesda is so right about their whole "children cannot come to harm" policy but I also feel like in some ways it's kind of exacerbated the weird vitriolic hatred that child characters in their games get. Like making children the only npc class that is 100% essential and unable to take damage makes all these weirdos come out of the woodworks any time an even slightly annoying child character comes up in discussion to tell everyone about how much they wish they could harm them in some way.

Like the people who have been coming out of the woodworks and onto my polls that have Braith and Britte to tell me about how much they hate them and want to kick them and how they should have died in the war quests like buddy I did not ask and you're a fucking weirdo. I hope that for everyone's sake that these people have no children in their lives for them to project these weird feelings onto.

immediately after posting that, i have just found a 640 page academic book on middle welsh for free

#i think if i try to write the brief thing about braithe i may read through this and try to do it in middle welsh if i can #it would just be a few sentences #if i was more of the indoorsy academic type i would have loved to be a historian. unfortunately i need to be outside in the woods all the #time or else i genuinely begin to wither. the severity of my depression is directly correlated to how often i am in the woods

Zoroark!N Premise

I’m not sure when I’ll cave and eventually make an art piece for this AU concept because despite how much Zoroark!N is a behated concept for me, I have thought about how I would deal with an AU where N is actually a Zoroark. I see it enough that while I may not like the idea, I can’t help but consider it. It would still be IsshuShipping endgame, of course. Since a small part of my issue with the idea (my true issue with it is how it undermines the overarching concept of N as a character if he’s secretly a Pokemon all along) is how I’ve noticed people often use it as a reason to not pair N with the BW Protag. Which we respect all ships here, but if one must run a Zoroark!N plotline, I don’t see why that means he can’t still get with the BW Protag.

So anyway, the point of this post. While I’m holding back every time the AU prompt comes up for fankid week from actually drawing it, I’ve thought about what that would mean for the fankids. If N was actually a Zoroark. I’ve never implemented this for any ship in this verse…but I do run with the idea that humans are technically a type of Pokemon in a vague sense. It’s actually the anime that supported this idea for me. A combo of how humans can be hit with Pokemon attacks and not take a lot of damage. And then that one extremely damning episode where there’s that ancient Pokeball that is able to capture Team Rocket. The Sinnoh books in the games, if one takes the original translation about humans marrying Pokemon way back, just add further fuel. So okay. Given all this. It would technically be possible for Pokemon to breed with humans. I’m just not about that life so I’ve held myself back from ever using this concept for this verse (I’d be lying if I said I’ve never thought about the implications though).

But if N was actually a Zoroark? You better believe that would not hold me back from him having children with Hilbert. But much like how Pokemon are the same species as the mother Pokemon, regardless of the type of Pokemon the father is, this would hold true for a hypothetical human/Pokemon couple. If mom is the human, kid is a human. If mom is the Pokemon, the kid is whatever type of Pokemon the Pokemon is. Thus any children N and Hilbert would have would be human since Hilbert is the mom (as he’s the omega in this omegaverse AU). Might get some “egg moves” so to speak from N so they have odd abilities of some kind. Probably can talk to Pokemon (I’ve hypothesized before this is why human!N can talk to Pokemon. Has a Pokemon in his family tree somewhere). The most all of this would change (since no reason to change up the kids just cause N is a Zoroark) would be Arian and Braith wouldn’t have green hair. I guess their hair would be black? Or some combo of black and red since both inherit their hair color from N. Clover is largely unchanged just has dark green Zoroark eyes.

Like I’m sure I will def cave one day and draw this since I’ve thought about all of this way too much despite not being a fan of Zoroark!N. Like there’s def an AU that lives in my head that follows this idea. But yes, some IsshuShipping thoughts on if N was secretly a Zoroark all along. He’s still getting with Hilbert, they’re my fav ship so nothing is holding me back.

As a side note, if you’re a Zoroark!N fan, no shade intended! Everyone can headcanon what they want, we’re all just having fun here. Just ain’t for me despite that being what this post is about.

#IsshuShipping #N #Hilbert #Clover #Braith #Arian #Worldbuilding #truth is I’m a bit tipsy right now so slightly unhinged posting time #also to that person on AO3 I found who had Zoroark!N and still had IsshuShipping you’re the real MVP #Zoroark!N AU

I found some doodles of Gargoyle and Babewyn, and a stressed-out Braith. the pair was attacked by a large wild creature that they both narrowly escaped from with their lives. Despite her size, Babewyn ended up worse off than Gargoyle because she used up her energy to summon plants to protect her mate. The pair was found just in time by a clan member, although Babewyn had to be revived with magic. They have since recovered and just relax in the clan now. The plant magic ability was passed onto Gargoyle, which he now uses to help power his prosthetic jaw and leg.

#g drawin #fr art #injury #idk what to tag #but hope that makes sense at all #idk what creature on their world could hurt such big and armored dragons so badly #also i renamed Babewyn twice cuz i immediately got a better idea after renaming her the first time oops

The new blog has been made. For RP purposes, we now have @asexxxualerotica , and for D&D based writing, we have @depravedndungeons . Follows back from those will be coming through the new main blog, @asexxxualauthor

As this is a fresh start, most of the old RP threads will not be continued. I would like to request a limit of two threads per person—you can message me about which threads you most like to continue, and with some additional convincing, I may allow an additional.

Also, I am open to suggestions of what the inaugural starter for the new blog should be.

Ngl I don't trust people who treat Britte like trash

Yes she bullies her sister but let's not forget her treatment of Sissel is probably a coping mechanism because LET'S NOT FORGET she is also abused by Lemkil too

You shouldn't be blaming a child for the abuse she receives from her father because I can guaran fucking tee that she and Sissel would be best friends had Lemkil not been their father

This is why I always adopt them both because you shouldn't be punishing Britte by having her stay in the shitty orphanage after killing Lemkil they both deserve a loving family and I believe if taught she shouldn't treat her sister like that after being taken away from Lemkil they would mend their relationship and become close but that can't happen if you separate them and have Britte live in the orphanage where she could be adopted by someone like Lemkil

Now if Britte was an adult it would be different because then that doesn't excuse what she did if she was a grown woman but SHE IS A FUCKING CHILD SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANY BETTER SHE'S LITERALLY ABUSED AS MUCH AS SISSEL IS PLEASE REALIZE THIS

LIKE THIS MAKES ME SO MUCH MORE ANGRY THEN IT DOES ABOUT PEOPLE ABOUT BRAITH BECAUSE WHILE HER PARENTS SUCK AT LEAST THEY LOVE HER AT LEAST AMREN DOES SISSEL AND BRITTE ARE BOTH STUCK IN THAT HOUSE WITH THAT MONSTER AND YOU HAVE THE GAUL TO ACT LIKE BRITTE IS A TERRIBLE PERSON BRO SHE'S AN ABUSED CHILD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????

Did you ever have plans for Lilli's character development? like giving her a Semblance or some sister bonding between her and Robin?

It's funny, I actually recalled Lilli's character development two days ago on discord. Literally one of the next scenes in Arc 4 was gonna be Lilli confronting Robin (pic of an unfinished (yet surprisingly coherent page below)):

The sum of it is that Lilli gets up at night to get some air and finds Petra grabbing water in the kitchen. She's on surprisingly good terms with Petra (probably has a crush on her and Petra's PJs consist of an oversized t-shirt and knee socks so let's be real here) and Petra affirms that Robin & co are still in Mistral despite learning about Zenith (the Braith's base), and that Robin told everyone to get a "good night's sleep". This is the final straw for Lilli.

Lilli grabs her labrys and attacks Robin, waking her up. Robin and Marron are still miffed so Marron isn't there.

Here's the full scene:

In retrospect I think this development was maybe sort of rushed, as a lot of things were as I grew to be a better writer and realise that characters actually need arcs... but that's a symptom of me being tired and just wanting to get to the RAIN finish line as soon as I could (spoiler: I didn't make it)

I think it's no secret that Robin, and by extension a lot of the protagonists, can be shitty people. They're not paragons, they don't communicate, sometimes they're more self serving than they should be, and Lilli is a by-product of that.

The sad truth of Lilli Lincoln is that no one likes her because she's mean, but she's mean because no one likes her. Her siblings are all adored and love each other (except maybe Wil), and she's acutely aware that she's literally the Least Favourite (which raises questions about Orion & Artemis's parenting).

As a kid, she was fuelled by envy because she didn't understand why her siblings all liked each other and were treated better, and it festered into spite the longer she was ignored.

There's a (somewhat) happy ending to this all, though. As the end of the scene implies, she and Robin have a vaguely more amicable relationship going forward. In what few scenes Lilli had before RAIN leave for Zenith, Robin would try to involve herself more in Lilli's future - encouraging her to sign up to combat school. Lilli points out some blatant issues in Robin and Marron's communication that puts them on good terms again.

Lilli is also very aware of Robin actually making an effort to know her, so when Marina phases through a wall and tries to edge in on the banter she utterly rejects it with a pre-written speech.

In the long run I think Lilli's life gets better. She's still a bit of a snot but she actually begins to form relationships with her siblings.

Also Tahlia Braith was super gay for her so that's fun.
