So back when I first named my Skyrim character, before the game even came out, I got the name Kyria out of the word kyrie (which I got out the word valkyrie 'cause you know, Norse) but not the pronunciation, no I pronounced it like kai-ra. I didn't change the spelling or pronunciation to match the other, for years that felt dumb but I'm too attached to it as is to change it.
But I just now realized that the way I've been saying "kyri" in her name is the same way it's said in the word Skyrim. So maybe it's not as dumb as I thought.

Bear with me, this is very confusing...
I created Chiki Vulpin on November 11th, 2018 on Twitter: a cartoon fox from the 1930s who thanks to some magical shenanigans in the Isle of Murnoe ended up in the present day of that reality.
However, canon-wise, Chiki's actual creator was a cartoonist called Joshua Spencer. And yes, he first sketched her in 1933.
And to top that, Chiki is 25 years old, but she's been 25 all this time, so... yeah...
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Chiki!

So! Finally, I've been able to play Baldur's Gate 3 (had to wait for new upgrade parts for some weeks). Deliberately avoided early access and a lot of online stuff about it, and, welp, here's (Zariel) Tiefling bard Kyria! She's currently persuading her way through the story where her main mission is to find all the dyes and have a bit of fun whilst doing it!
In keeping with previous BG games, there are choice lines everywhere! It makes me happy, even if and when I sometimes think I'm playing Dragon Age: The Forgotten Realms Edition.* ;D
And here's the current team line-up! Something is very right when I have a hard time deciding who's coming with, that's for sure, but this line-up is working nicely enough for now.
*Not necessarily a bad thing, I quite enjoyed all the Dragon Age games, and I sort of wonder if BioWare are quietly crying themselves to sleep over BG3; and given they made BG2, it makes sense that 3 should have striking comparisons to be made, even though I think another dog in camp was a bit cheeky (remember the dog from Dragon Age Origins?). In BG3, it should've been a cat, clearly.

Skyrim Asks
Thanks for the tag @babyblueetbaemonster!
I think that makes now a good time to introduce my dragonborn Kyria! (Pronounced Kai-ra, I don't know what was up with younger me's spelling)
A Nord battlemage from a secluded village somewhere in the eastern mountains, raised in the old Nord ways, so basically she knows lore but not what's currently going on. Joined the Stormcloaks because the Imperials tried to cut her head off that one time and she's still mad about it.
Currently on the run from her destiny and probably the law in at least one province, not because she's a criminal but because she's prone to causing problems.
On to the actual asks:
1. Favorite Tavern:
I don’t know, I played on 360 so no mods and it was long before survival mode so I didn't stay at inns much. XD
I know she doesn't like the ones that play the Imperial song though.
She might like the New Gnisis Corner Club to get a break from the rest of Windhelm but I don't really think they want Nords there.
2. Favorite Drink:
Mead
3. Travel Companion:
Meeko! The lonely loyal dog quickly became her best friend, they’re inseparable now. And he's the only one who will eat her cooking. XD
Sometimes she also travels with her fellow college students.
4. Wealthy or not?
No
5. Worships the Aedra or the Daedra?
I never really thought of her as that religious but since she was raised in the ancient Nord ways, she’d probably worship the Nordic Pantheon. But since she’s a rebellious teenager, probably not too religious.
6. Biggest Fear:
Failure, she's made so many mistakes that she's afraid of her next one, you'd think that would make her be more careful but no she continues to be reckless and make mistakes.
Convinced that she'll only ever be a screw up she's also afraid of her destiny as dragonborn, afraid of what would happen if she tried to save the world.
But I think her biggest fear is that she will never change.
7. Pet Peeves:
Jerks, she ends up in a fistfight with a lot of them.
8. Do they like being dragonborn?
Eventually I think she'd have fun with the cool powers, but at first doesn't because of the previously mentioned fears. So she just pretends she isn't dragonborn as if that solves anything.
9. Favorite faction:
The College of Winterhold, it became a home to her (probably because I never bought a house) and the fellow students there her friends.
10. An object of sentimental value:
Was going to be the dagger Alvor taught her to make but I made a bunch of iron daggers to enchant and sell and forgot about it. If I do another playthrough maybe I'll also make it the first thing she enchants, that way I can rename it.
I do like the idea of it being a sentimental item storywise, maybe being the first thing she forged it's not made quite right and Alvor told her that mistakes were just part of learning, so she pulls it out sometimes to remember that. Also I have her using a dagger in an important scene, it might as well be that one.
11. Hobbies:
Interfering with Imperial business. XD
Really I can't think of anything she does other then what we do in game, so I think her hobbies are traveling Skyrim with her dog, bounty hunting, and annoying Imperials.
12. Favorite city:
I’m surprised how difficult this one is. ‘Cause I don’t really like the towns I ended up in the most and I’m not sure she’d actually like them any better.
She likes the College of Winterhold but I don't think she'd care anything about the town, she'd mind Windhelm's cold bleak aesthetic less than I do but it has too many jerks.
Probably Whiterun, but really she prefers the countryside.
Wait, I just realized I assumed this meant hold capitals, it might not. If it's any town then it's definitely Riverwood. It might be the first place to truly take her in since she's left her village, even the Imperials there are so nice and welcoming. Riverwood just feels like home. She wants to beat up Sven and Faendal though.
Tagging: @arimabari @nerevar-quote-and-star @arnaerr and anyone who wants to
Thanks again! I love having the excuse to ramble about my characters. XD

“Can you dance, Sir Volmarek?” Kyria asked. Sir Volmarek tilted his helmeted head towards her.
“I suppose we shall find out,” he said and took her tiny hand in his much larger one as he spun her gently on the spot, “At any rate, I suggest you stand on my feet. To avoid me crushing yours,” he laughed.
I haven’t drawn these two in way too long, so it was about time I revisited them. Kyria and her stoic, but loyal guard, Sir Volmarek are heading off to the OC Winterball hosted by @faebelina in their shiniest outfits <3
