Ingénue - Jarra's Bildungsroman
« Topic Start: September 23, 2017, 10:22:20 AM »
That's the first character of which roleplays I record as I go. The "coming of age" story. Mostly short RPs. Lots of not mine RPs and even letters included for the sake of context. If you see your text here and don't want it here let me know I'll fix it.

Other things worth checking:



Roleplay from Jarra Bennet

Having amassed the small contingent of her family retainers, Mistress Jarra decided to grasp her fate in her own - ludicrously small, clad in preposterous blue gauntlets - hands and become Dame Jarra of Athol Margos. Tiny frame of the young lady stepped on the stairs of Seaside Estate, escorted by twenty men outfitted according to fashion chosen by their Mistress. Some of the more battle-weary warriors barely restrained from planting their faces with their beautiful blue gauntlets every time their Lady displayed her limitless naivete and immaturity. This time however they took some pleasure in watching her cocky face radiating with satisfaction at the view from the Seaside Estate.


From Letter of Goriad II Gabanus

We have some new blood, that is good news!

Jarra, tell me one thing, do you like fighting and hunting? I've only recently returned from a good hunting trip down south, managed to snare me some, but I always enjoy some new hunting companions to teach the thrill of the game.

Goriad II Gabanus
Knight of Rines


From Letter of Jarra Bennet

Sir Goriad,

I think I enjoy it. I hunted once a squirrel. I shot it right through the neck with an arrow lunched from a shortbow on my third attempt. I later learnt that my cousin tied it down with a string by the tail so it wouldn't run away, that took most of the fun out of it. But I'm eager to try again.

From Orders of Rania Eastersand JeVondair

[...]

Dame Jarra, I bid you welcome to Obia'Syela, my dear. There is much to be done in the Service of the Veiled Goddess and I hope you will prove yourself to be an asset to the faithful and to the realm.

[...]

Roleplay from Jarra Bennet

"Asset?! Asset?!" - Jarra shouted hysterically towards her captain who hadn't had the opportunity to explain that she's neither her chamber maid nor her scribe - "You believe this Maura? I may be young, I may be inexperienced, but I am a lady, you can't call a lady rear end names!"

"M'Lady" - Maura struggled to talk through the noble girl's most excited jabbering - "that word has nothing to do with your noble behind"

"It doesn't?" - Jarra paused suddenly calm.

"No m'Lady. It means something or someone of worth."

"Oh." - noble girl took a moment to think - "I take it you haven't sent the previous letter?" - Maura just shook her head, so Jarra continued - "Good! Burn it please. Now write another one."

"M'Lady I'm not a scri..." - Jarra didn't let her finish the sentence, dictating loudly:
"Grandmistress, Noble Lords and Ladies..."


Letter from Goriad II Gabanus

Jarra, noone is good at their first attempt, but a willingness to learn is most important of all. Throughout my life I have hunted many things. Gold and slaves when I led one of Talerium's raiding armies into Minas Leon, men themselves, both on and off the battlefield. Many a fool in the colonies laid awake fearing I would hunt them, and for many that turned out to be true. Now on this island we have a lot of monsters and undead to hunt and target, and they posess a unique experience on their own as no single beast is perfectly the same, but they do often share similar flaws.

Join me in kjelegy and I assume we'll march north tonight. Although it will be a battle more in the open, I'll show you how hunting is applied even on and off the battlefield.

Goriad II Gabanus
Knight of Rines


Letter from Jarra Bennet

Sir Goriad,

I am on route to Cjelegy as I write this letter. I am most eager to meet you, from what I hear you're very... I can't even find a proper adjective.

I don't understand what you mean by hunting men, do you mean fighting them on battlefield or do you mean it literally?

Dame of Athol Margos


Roleplay from Jarra Bennet

"Mauuuuraaa..." - calls Dame Jarra - "Mauuura... eek!" - she exclaims startled as she turns around to see ebony black face of her captain.

"Yes m'Lady?" - Maura responds hiding annoyance as best she could.

"Maura, have you seen any loop snares when we were in Rines? Perhaps hidden on a crowded marketplace?" - young lady asks.

"m'Lady?" - puzzled look of the captain clearly sought for clarification, instead Jarra continued:

"Are there even human-sized loop snares?!"
