Tell me about your ocs
I have a comically long composition notebook with 657 characters listed in it but it needs editing. Here's a picture of three that I've been thinking about a lot lately.
Left to right: Peppa Fillius Potts, Aurélie Lemoine, and Marshall Knightly.
Under a cut because this will get long.
Peppa is trans femme, British, and autistic, and her special interest is gardening, and specifically growing peppers. Her favorites are an ornamental variety that she's wearing in her hair (dyed green and styled like that, with resin hairpins she made that are real peppers and flowers). She also named herself after them. I'm obsessed with them myself. I really, really love gardening and peppers are something I really enjoy reading about but I've been having a hard time growing them so I live vicariously through Peppa.
Next is Aurélie, who is an anxious little mess made up entirely of mathematics and caffeine. She's an elf from France (used to be a WoW Nightborne), because I just pour all my OCs into my own setting where magic is real, and Aurélie is in magic college right now. She's a mathematical genius, a skilled codebreaker, and a linguist who can speak over 10 languages fluently, but she's extremely gullible and for a while didn't think that true crime was real and after she found out she was terrified of America. She's living there now because of magic college though.
Marshall is a vampire and he's studying at the magic college for the fields of enchantment and summoning. His background is in theater as a stagehand so he's actually very handy but he tries to look super aesthetic all the time because he's a bit of a bitch. He's American. And he has Instagram brain. I just like assigning random traits to my OCs.
So Aurélie and Marshall met because they were roommates. Aurélie was afraid of him for a while, because she's afraid of everything, but wanted to be on his good side so one day when their dorm was just suddenly filled with plants she went out to a local garden center and got him a new plant. That's how she met Peppa. They liked each other's vibes and started hanging out.
Marshall, who loves plants and being kinda weird, started writing Peppa letters asking about what plants she had in stock and advice on plant care. Aurélie was the one who delivered the letter, and Peppa definitely thought it was weird, but figured it would give her time to consider how to word things and so they started passing letters through Aurélie (who they nicknamed "Snail Mail" after this).
After almost a year of this they wanted to actually meet in person, but they were more interested in seeing how long it would take Aurélie to get tired of the arrangement, but since her brain is SO fried from math and magic and linguistics and codes she just Let's things happen to her a lot of the time. So she barely even noticed she was being used as a free postal service. Peppa and Marshall did compensate her, though she didn't even notice they were doing it at that point. Just, "Here, give this to Peppa, here's a muffin."
Marshall liked enclosing gifts in the letters too, seeds especially since it was a safe thing to get for a gardener. Peppa started growing a lot of them and would sometimes send some of the produce back to Marshall, but also let Aurélie have some too. They did end up meeting in person when Marshall was hiding in their dorm to avoid someone he'd pissed off (a whole other story) and Aurélie brought Peppa there to hang out. They reacted in a "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE" sort of way and Aurélie thought they didn't like each other for a second before they explained what they were doing and Aurélie just kind of went "Oh, okay :)" and continued on, so now the three of them hang out in person.
Peppa teaches Marshall how to take better care of his plants, Marshall learned to cook so he could experiment with some weirder produce that Peppa wanted to grow but doesn't like to eat, Aurélie plays chess with Marshall and beats him every single time because she's a computer who can experience sleep deprivation, Aurélie likes trying peppers that Peppa grows because somehow she has an incredibly high spice tolerance, Peppa likes watching Marshall try to eat the peppers Aurélie eats and not having a spice tolerance, and Aurélie and Peppa like to attend plays that Marshall helps put on. They're all good for each other :)
