PLAYER: Hazel
CHARACTER: Velvet Crowe
CANON: Tales of Berseria




AU NAME: Violet Camden
AU AGE: 27
AU OCCUPATION: Restaurant co-owner and chef. Also an active seller in the city farmer's markets.


BLURB:
- Amiable and gregarious by default. Will strike up conversation when the other person looks receptive, and sometimes when they don't.
- Doting and protective of children and animals, to a fault. Has a habit of treating people more than a couple years younger than her like they're kids whether they actually are or not.
- Related to the above, generally a family-oriented person. Has a dog (name TBD) she nursed back to health after it was abandoned and is looking forward to having children of her own to gush over.
- While not a perfectionist, she does not trust other people to pull their weight. She's more than willing to chew out and take over for people that she thinks are shirking responsibility at the expense of herself or others. It makes being part of a democratically run business a tense job at times.
- Went to culinary school and opened up a restaurant with a few friends from her school days. From a business perspective it's essentially a co-op, where nobody has any particular sway in the business over the others.
- Owns a decently sized produce garden, and grows the majority of her food. Sells what she knows she won't use in the farmer's market for extra money, both as raw produce and by way of preparing snacks for the afternoon crowds.
- Never knew her mother; strangely, her father never elaborated on whether she died or simply left, though Violet asked more than once growing up. Her father was the stereotypical stoic patriarch - while he loved his daughter dearly, he was emotionally distant and left her wanting for emotional support. Consequently she strove to be the mother figure she always wanted but never had, volunteering to babysit for townsfolk as soon as she was old enough and acting as a confidant for her circle of friends.
- While not exceedingly wealthy, her father had a decent sized estate that, when he passed away, gave her the means to get through the culinary academy and start up her restaurant. The restaurant's successful enough that she's been able to earn a modest living on top of her market sales.
- Enjoys reading in her spare time. Naturally she enjoys the occasional guilty pleasure romance pulp, but has a soft spot for fantasy as well. One particular child she used to babysit turned her onto comics and graphic novels: she read and enjoyed every recommendation this kid gave her. She will never, ever admit this.
- Also enjoys playing music, and took up piano and some violin to fill most of her alone time. Oddly enough never thought to try teaching any of her babysitting gigs how to play.
- Has a fiancé who is finishing his graduate degree abroad. She's anxious for him to finish his studies and come back home so they can start a family together.


LOOKING FOR:
- Friends in general: shared interest in books, music, people to pry into why she knows so much about the Titanium Ronin despite claiming to have never read or watched anything featuring him. People she used to babysit.
- Co-owners for her restaurant.
- The fiancé/husband whose return she's so anxiously waiting for. The background as I've described can be adjusted as needed!

Slides in Sup.

Alright though honestly I ship these two so hard in Berseria??? Like they have such a great relationship tbh. Really all there in the details.

So these two probably met at the farmer's market, Violet probably wasn't that big a fan of Maggie but Maggie liked Violet. And Magilou just kept coming back to see her until eventually Violet relented. Now the two have a friendship consisting entirely of exchanging sick burns.

Idk that's just my idea.

Maggie strikes me as the kind of person who's been forced into permanent cleanup duty after an unspecified incident involving a flower arrangement went wrong and ended up destroying Violet's market stall (and the surrounding block, ofc). She's not obligated to, of course, but it gives her an excuse to stick around and give Violet a good ribbing and rearrange the vegetables to look like people's faces and awful memes.

She's definitely the one friend that can consistently get under Violet's skin and who the team mom act doesn't really work on, so she ends up being kind of a straight man to Maggie's antics.

Also there's a 100% chance Violet's stumbled on her youtube channel at some point. She doesn't get it, she thinks Maggie's trying to proof-of-concept some weird wrestling persona or something (some of her friends are huge into wrestling and it's her only reference point for performance art that she doesn't understand).

Tbh Maggie would totally do that. She likes patterns, she likes stupid memes, it's perfect.

Lol yeah, Maggie can't me mommed by Violet because the concept of momming is a foreign one in her life.

Oh my G O D if Maggie ever finds that out she's just gonna laugh her ass off for ten minutes.

oh... no... she's so cute... what the heck

Sorey is six years younger so I'm not sure if Velvet would've babysat him or not! it would've been a long time ago, regardless. but I kind of love the idea anyway haha ;; She's such a good sismom.

I don't really have anything else to contribute atm except Sorey probably eats at her restaurant. A lot. he's kind of a foodie if by foodie you mean he follows 50 food instagrams and inhales everything his culinary-studying best friend creates.

She totally would have! Or at least she'd have him believe she did - she's had that kind of take-charge attitude since she was at least 8 or 9 and I'm sure it was a good excuse for some parents to arrange play-dates for their younger kids.

That sounds excellent to me. And now she has a loyal customer til the day he dies.

Oh, no, what a cutie ;;

If she babysat Sorey, she probably babysat Mikleo, too. I'm so sorry for her in that trying time.

He could be a regular, since he's picky about how people make his food and all, and Violet's restaurant is most likely gonna be his favorite. mikleo probably asks her for recipes on occasion.
totallynotanoni: Oh. (#7)

[personal profile] totallynotanoni 2017-06-13 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Its weird: one part of me is screaming old college friend, another is screaming regular at the restaurant, and the last is screaming, in a disturbingly clear voice, bandage arm buddies.....I'm really not sure what to think about that last one, but it makes sense.

Hello! I have a grumpy bodyguard type with a secret heart of gold who goes on a lot of jogs in his free time and who would definitely have run into her at the farmer's market, on the days when his free time and the market matched up?
