Ethlyn | Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Player: Bryo
Contact: PM, game disco, [plurk.com profile] compassinks for plurk!
Anything Else?: ORGANIZE YOUR WORKPLACE

Character: Ethlyn
Canon: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Killing the Cast
Canon Point: She and her husband return to help out your army, but moments later they are ambushed by dracoknights and you can try as hard as you like to get your army down there to help but there is no way and you watch them murdered turn by turn

Crime: "The crimes of the Grannvale Empire"

Background: Dead widow whose brother got himself turned into a catspaw for his country to create an empire, and then got accused of regicide/treason once he was no longer useful. Ethlyn and her husband died in an effort to reinforce him when he was attempting to get back home to clear his name.

She was raised as a noblewoman by a Responsible Noble, and also lost her mother at a young age and had to become the lady of the household, so she's got an overdeveloped sense of responsibility. She's also a battlefield healer by trade so she's at home in dangerous situations and harsh conditions, and also doesn't care how embarrassed you are about being hurt or in pain, just get over here so she can fix it. Although she had to grow up fast, she still retains a little sister's instinct for mischief and taking the mickey out of people!

Abilities:
- Sparkly magic healing
- Uncannily good at s'words (but she still practices a whole bunch cause that keeps you from spraining shit)
- Horses

Plans:

For the Event: Rather than being a medical practitioner, Ethlyn is going to believe herself to be a Respectable Widow, the kind who hosts events and is very nosy, in a well-intentioned way, and fussy over manners and standards. (Honestly not too dissimilar to how she is now.) She will keep seeing the Tyrfing, her family's ancestral sword, popping up. It will discomfit her greatly. But she will be more eager to look at that than the Gáe Bolg, the lance of her husband's lineage, which supposedly has a terrible curse that Real Ethlyn blames herself for passing on.

How can you run into my character? Busy busy busy. Ethlyn is one of those folks who thinks that if she isn't doing something then she's doing something wrong. This month, that is teaching folks how to live the medieval life! I will be putting up an open/mingle log for that after the weekend. It will involve things like how to make rushlights, preserve food, cook over fire and in woodfire ovens, and sew blankets to each other for extra warmth. For the sake of everyone's appetites I will skip some of the grodier aspects of "things your or your livestock's body makes that can be put to infinite chemical uses" since we're trying to survive winter, not dye wool or make detergent.

When Memory Loss happens, though, she will be doing her thing but without any inkling that she's a medical practitioner, unless you get hurt right in front of her and she's able to use muscle memory. And you know, freaking out over the sight of ancestral weapons. She will make the choice to start "collecting" memories once she realizes those memories include her kids.
