Quiz: Character Arc Sora.

quiz: character arc — sora.

Disillusionment Arc.

It’s hard to imagine yourself when you were young. Maybe you were meant to be a hero; maybe you could have been, in another world, but this world only made you sad. There seemed to be too many problems to fix—too much cruelty, and too many hard lines that you did not know how to soften. The world turns; it is bloody and hard, and you sit on your bed, thinking about the blood and the hardness… and everything you failed to do. I know it feels like you could sleep until the end of time, but I hope you don’t. I hope you lift yourself out of bed one day, not to save the world, but to peel an orange and to walk in a forest—to find all the softness you could not create.

Identity crisis is one of the main focal points to Sora’s character development. It’s even harder when she needs to juggle between various titles and labels: from a baby adventurer-turned-Warrior of Darkness, to finding where her true loyalty—and sexuality—lie.

There were times that Sora just wanted to scream and leave. Why should she bother to save this world—repeatedly, even—only to be forgotten in the wind while the Warrior(s) of Light take all the credits? Why should she work so hard to keep the corruption at bay, while she has to prevent herself from being tainted inside out?

There were times that Sora just wanted to go to bed in silent tears, and never wake up to face the same horrors again.

Perhaps it’s fortunate—or unfortunate, depending on one’s perspective—that Sora has a veteran and mentor, Yiuno, to guide her along the way. Maybe that’s an understatement, when her relationship with the enigmatic Viera is clearly more than meets the eye…

The Coward

You didn't have another choice, honest! Have these people SEEN what the heroes are up against? It'd end you in an instant, whether that be a lovecraftian abomination with a hold on your soul, a rampaging monster that's destroying more than a hurricane and an earthquake could in one fell swoop, a shadow organization that has tabs on everyone you love and will end them in an instant, or just a particularly grumpy boss that might yell at you if you don't fall in with his excessively tyrannical methods, you can't go risking your neck for the poor saps that think they can stop it. No way, you're staying on the bad guy side, where it's SAFE.

FINAL FANTASY XIV (2010-2024)

Book Genres: Oli

Tagged by the heavenly creature — ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ @thefreelanceangel ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ in this lil book meme! Thank you for thinking of me sweet pea! ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

I thought I should probably take it for Oli c': (If I did this for Ren it would just all be bold c': )

art | biography | business | chick lit | children’s | classics | comics | contemporary | cookbooks | crime | fantasy | fiction | gay and lesbian | graphic novels | historical fiction | history | horror | humor and comedy | memoir | music | mystery | nonfiction | paranormal | philosophy | poetry | psychology | religion | romance | science | science fiction | self help | suspense | spirituality | sports | thriller | travel | young adult | warfare

Oli is not a big reader. Most of the books she reads are for a distinct purpose. Testing out a new propagation theory, learning a new recipe, something to do with her anthropogeological work or information about a region she's about to travel to. When she doesn't read to learn something, she tends toward mysteries or humorous fiction, or poetry. Maybe very occasionally a memoir if Ren has recommended it. Reading for pleasure isn't something which occurs to her very often, Oli's hobbies are much more active, (gardening, hiking, bird watching, going on long hallucinogenic trips in the woods, etc.) Although she does occasionally indulge reading for reading's sake. This is especially true in summer time when she can read outside under the shade of a tree, or a beach umbrella if they're on assignment on Costa del Cobra, Uncle Zan's island in the Cieldalaes. (Fun fact! That name comes from the plentiful schools of King Cobrafish that inhabit the Cieldalaes Margin. Not snakes c': )

⋆˙⟡♡ Thank you again for the tag, dearest! ⋆˙⟡♡ This was a lot of fun to think about! Ren is the librarian, so I've never really spent a lot of time considering Oli's tastes on reading.

Throwing this one out to ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ @sealrock, @hazelkjt, @archivumesoterica, @riftdancing and @chadhunkler ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ and anyone else who'd like to do it! Say I tagged you if you're shy because I did ᐢ⑅ᐢ ꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ ./づ~ ♡
