She's often seen wearing her blond hair up in a pony tail, with bangs that frame her deep blue eyes. She doesn't really believe in overdressing, choosing instead to wear jeans and a nice shirt for work. She tends to give off easy going vibes and seems quite approachable. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Confident | Observant | Blunt&nbsp; | Curious | Studious | <br><br><strong>History:</strong> Angel has lived in Stardew Valley her most of her life. Often sick as a child, her parents sent her to live with her grandparents when she was ten, to get her out of the toxic city environment. She thrived in the country air, and her health steadily improved. It wasn't a cure, but it did make her life a lot easier. <br><br>Her grandfather had been the town's doctor before her, training her and teaching her as she grew. The only time she did not live in Stardew was when she went to school, the city air once again taking a toll on her health. Her weekends were her salvation, and her chance to breathe. Since graduating she doesn't really leave the city much. Choosing instead to talk walks in the park and enjoy a good book or two on the beach. <br><br><strong>Favorite Thing?:</strong> Old Books<br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?:</strong> Energy Drinks<br><strong>Hobbies: </strong> Reading, hiking, knitting. <br><strong>Cat or Dog?:</strong> Cat<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs: </strong> Flip the switch here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=236774.msg11833322#msg11833322) <br><br><strong>Face claim: </strong> Mercy - Overwatch Fanart<br><br><br>

Certainly, planet earth, at least, and Daire is not from Stardew Valley. However, they have been delighted to make the place his home for the last two years. While technically, they are a Wizard and a talented one; this doesn't pay the bills! Their gift seems mostly plant life or some elemental mastery revolving around coaxing wooden and similar objects to become useful without cutting down trees. They can seemingly speak to plants, air, water, and fire ... as if something were there! Too often, Daire is inclined to give things away. <br><br>So, they read Tarot that is either beautifully accurate or entirely comically wrong. Daire can paint magical henna that glitters in the sunlight, moonlight, or both for those that want them. Daire almost always has some weird new flower to sell that combines six others or more capable of dancing, singing, or eating bugs! Occasionally, he plays his lute for Shoelace, who chirps more than meows. Daire is skilled at sewing but refuses to do anything with their talent. If they have family, it does not seem he remembers them beyond general sadness.<br><br><strong>Favorite Thing?:</strong> Flowers<br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?:</strong> Lightning (phobic; will curl into a ball and nope out of stormy weather) | Bugs, ugh<br><strong>Hobbies: </strong> Chess and other board games | Tarot Reading | Singing | Dancing | Reading | Sewing<br><strong>Cat or Dog?:</strong> A black, tiger-striped kitten, her name is Shoelace, and she is one year old.<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs: </strong> List-link!

Hardly a thing is every out of place for the prim young woman, from her raven dark hair to her deftly applied makeup and signature red lip. Her skin is a warm soft brown color, and her eyes a deep soulful brown that are typically bright and full of day dreams. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Day Dreamer | Passionate | Romantic | Optimist | Earnest | Thoughtful | Empathetic | Private<br><strong>History:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Because it's long</div><div class="spoiler_body">Born the youngest of three daughters to Annette and Stéphane Lavigne there was no doubt of a life of privilege and opportunity. Her mother was from a modest family, but she had wed a man known to expertly handle the finances of the rich, powerful and famous. Stéphane had been born to an immigrant family in Monaco, his father a banker, and shown a flair for handling money that had landed him a job in the bustling, tiny country where he met the woman who would be Stéphane's mother, traveling after finishing her graduate degree. He inherited his father's skills, and worked hard to make a name for himself, branching out from just banking, where his first job started, to being a financial advisor. His discretion and wisdom earned him fame, and saw him building a fortune of his own, wisely invested, and traveling frequently. On a visit to a client in the LA area he met Annette and was instantly smitten, courting her and marrying her quickly. To Renisha's mind the legacy of her grandparents, and her parents romances set a high bar.<br><br>As a child she was brightly inquisitive, given every advantage possible with her father's money and the comfort of the lavish mansion they grew up in; in contrast though sometimes at school she was teased, bullied by white students for the color of her skin, for her accent, growing up speaking French as much as English. It confused her, to have her lovely brown skin, her parent's skin that she thought was gorgeous, as a mark against her. Annette gently spent time with her, as she had both Angeline, the eldest of her daughters, and Marianne, the middle, explaining the legacy of her own family as African American with deep roots into the country from its very beginnings. While beginning with slavery, there was more to her people than captivity. Their joy and perseverance through a history of horrors kept them surviving for many generations in Savannah, Georgia. The sharp contrast in her parents histories often brought them closer rather than pushing them apart, and while the struggle of unfairness was vivid, Renisha's parents strength and protectiveness was always stronger. Her parents built up their children's worth before they were torn down by microagressions and racism, which continuously built extremely warm, tight bonds with her sisters.<br><br>Renisha moved from her private elemental school to a middle school, her grades decent but her flair for decorating and imagination finally tapped into when she found the theater program. There she threw herself into planning the sets and costumes, though she was horrible at sewing and accepted that was one skill she would never have. But planning, oh that was something that brought her to life, and seeing the first full production that went off perfectly with her work paid off thrilled her. Her room became a stash of do it yourself project ideas, creating new backgrounds, arranging pictures and developing an aesthetic that developed strongly over time of timeless elegance with a dash of fairy tale fancy. Through high school she threw herself into the theater program at her very expensive arts high school, making a name for herself with inventive solutions and a sense of how to stage the perfect visuals. She became the favorite of the theater teacher, a Mr. Agreste, and spent hours researching every play and designing an over all feel for the look. Making things pretty felt like a bit of magic that she could give the world, and the romantic plays particularly had her smitten.<br><br>Of course, with her intense focus and high standards, not to mention her shyness when just mixing socially with people, Renisha scarcely dated and it rarely lasted long. When she was planning something, working with a team she could be firm, stubborn about her vision, but when it was just her, without a goal, the girl felt listless, uncertain of her voice at times. She spent far more time reading and day dreaming about romance than actually seeking it out, and when at sixteen her eldest sister Angeline became engaged Renisha begged to help plan the wedding. Happily the wedding planner hired by her parents was open to letting her tag along and consult, knowing her sister so well. The wedding was a beautiful success, and Renisha realized that wedding planning was all she wanted in life. A way to give people a bit of magic on a special day. Ms. Mileur was open to her interning with the company, and she eagerly signed on, regardless of the fact that her parents wouldn't have asked her to work while she was in school.<br><br>Any time that might have been given over to dating or hanging out with friends was now consumed by working for Ms. Mileur, the theater and her school work or her family. She didn't mind, though, and graduated with decent grades, going on to UCLA for a business degree. Her parents, seeing her passion, agreed to finance the start of her own company if she wanted to strike out on her own as long as she graduated with honors. Never as academically minded as Marianne she leaned heavily into her sister for help with her classes and sought out tutors and study groups, focused on school and her ongoing internship as college years blurred by and she managed to graduate top of her class, and with a strong name of her own in the wedding space in a particular circle. Soon after graduation Ms. Mileur revealed that, after years in the industry, she was ready to retire and she had set up all her vendors to continue working with Renisha, encouraging her to make the business her own.<br><br>Floored by her mentor's gift, and with her parents money, Renisha opened her own business, Dreams Come True. The first few years were hard, even with the advantages she had from her parents and her mentor, and she worked crazy hours, taking on lots of business to make a strong name for herself. But she managed it, becoming a premier wedding planner, known to make magic happen for her brides. Once she was operating in the green on her own she asked her parents to set up a scholarship fund for girls graduating from the local area wanting to go into business of their own, and then a second fund of a business starting grant to help other's pursue their own ideas. Her parents, with all their children grown and two grandchildren from Angeline already, were happy to agree.<br><br>It was a recent bride that ended up mentioning the dreamy valley of Stardew to her, and Renisha decided to move from the busy city now that she had made a name for herself to a slower paced home where she might actually learn how to relax and have a life beyond work. She still hopes to keep planning weddings, or happy events in general though. </div></div><br><strong>Favorite Thing?:</strong> Love Stories <br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?:</strong> Plans going sideways (well, really, spiders)<br><strong>Hobbies: </strong> Floral arranging, Pinterest, baking, theater, set designing, sewing, gardening<br><strong>Cat or Dog?:</strong> Neither, yet<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs: </strong> Ons and Offs (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=15298.0) It should be noted Renisha is very inexperienced and would be going slowly with any intimacy.

She has some curves, but her form is mostly wiry with compact muscles. She has long light blonde hair, usually tied into a ponytail. Her eyes are a deep forest green. Lexie often sports a smile or a smirk. She has several scars, even two on her face, but is unbothered by them. On the job, she obviously has her adventuring gear. In her free time, she still tends towards practical clothing. However, she has a soft spot for airy dresses in the summer, or elegant ones for special occasions.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Confident | Active | Protective | Surprisingly reliable | Brash | Free-spirited<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Alexis was born in Stardew Valley to a somewhat traditional family. As a wild tomboy, she often exasperated, worried, and even frustrated her parents. Her brother Kyle, four years younger than her, was always calmer and more studious. However, she often dragged him out and about. Despite their differences, they get along well. They were both loved and taken care of by their parents, but especially Lexie chafed against her parents’ expectations. She was a rebellious teen and got herself in all sorts of trouble. Always feeling the draw of the new, unknown, and unexplored, the only reason she didn’t move to another city was that she found her calling as an adventurer right in her hometown. Since coming of age, she’s dedicated herself to that profession despite her parents’ protestations. At the moment, she rooms and boards in the Adventurer’s Guild for an affordable monthly fee.<br><br><strong>Favorite Thing?:</strong> Living her life freely<br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?:</strong> Family drama<br><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Jogging | Swimming | Collecting shells and such on the beach | Visiting the saloon in the evenings | Relaxing at the spa | Hanging out with friends | Meeting up with her younger brother Kyle<br><strong>Cat or Dog?:</strong> Dog. She enjoys the company when going on a run, and would like to train one to be capable of joining her on adventuring missions.<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs:</strong> I swear I’ll get to making one of these at some point…For now, please just ask me via PM.<br><br><strong>Face claim:</strong> https://i.imgur.com/Oefwj6w.png<br><br>I also confirm that I agree to the following:<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">What happens if you go inactive?&nbsp; I generally will see "inactivity" as "hasn't posted to the game in over a month." If that happens, I will step in and NPC your character briefly to "exit" them from any ongoing scenes in a peaceable fashion (perhaps there's a little emergency on their farm they must tend to right now they only just remembered!). You are always welcome to return if you go inactive, as I will never write your characters out of scenes in anything but a gentle manner that perhaps implies they are home but not available until you, dear player, return to play them again. Please note I and other players will still reserve the right to reference your character(s) in past events even if you leave the game--you must agree to this before you may create a character and play. This is to ensure player departures will not cause stress or trouble for those remaining.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

Working with her hands has given Cal firm and toned arms and a fit form under her softly feminine silhouette.&nbsp; Often clad I denim overalls with a sledge of oil or grim on her cheek or the tip of her nose Cal is not afraid to get dirty when it comes to work.&nbsp; She cleans up nicely however and loves a good spin across a sawdust strewn barn dance as much as tossing down a cold one after a hard day’s work.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Confident, Helpful, Boisterous, Nosy, Blue-Collar<br><strong>History:</strong> Cal’s dad was a collector.&nbsp; Some might say hoarder.&nbsp; Her mom died when she was young, but her dad was a good man despite his junk habit.&nbsp; The Applebaum family has lived in Stardew Valley her whole life and her grandparents owned the farm before her father did. For an energetic child like Cal, the farm, turned junkyard was a heaven filled with many sharp and dangerous things to tinker and play with. <br><br>To keep Cal busy and safe, her dad taught her to repair the old and damaged things he brought home.&nbsp; Her creative mind latched onto the process of tearing things apart and putting them back together and tinkering with things to make them work, at least until Cal got to be a teenager.&nbsp; Her father had little control over his whirlwind of a daughter who partied hard and made plenty of mistakes, but she always helped around the house when needed even if she wasn’t always in speaking terms with her dad.<br><br>Cal never went off to college.&nbsp; She is a townie through and through and doesn’t see it as a bad thing.&nbsp; Cal took odd jobs around the Valley to make some money and help her dad pay the bills.&nbsp; His health isn’t great and it’s harder for him to do all the things he needed to do to earn enough to keep the “farm” without the help.&nbsp; <br><br>Cal has cleaned up a lot of the mess that their small piece of land had accumulated through the years which has put a strain her relationship with her dad. There is still farming equipment I various states of repair but it either belongs to someone in town and waiting on a part or it’s one Cal is trying to fix up so she can strip some of the fallow dirt off the old vegetable patch and field and maybe turn this place into a small farm again.&nbsp; One that can at least help her grow some produce and keep their costs down. <br><br>When she isn’t driving around the Valley in her old pick up truck doing odd jobs for others Cal is working on the equipment in the barn or tinkering with some old transistor radio to keep herself busy.&nbsp; Occasionally she even takes a nap on her porch in her favorite chair, feet kicked up on the rail.&nbsp; <br><br>At night she is either at the bar or a barn dance if there is one.&nbsp; She still plays hard, but is a little more careful.&nbsp; If something happened to her there would be no one to take care of the “farm” or her dad.&nbsp; Still mistakes will be made, but hopefully they will be fun ones.<br><br><strong>Favorite Thing?:</strong> Afternoon naps on her porch chair after a job well done<br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?:</strong> Peas<br><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Tinkering, Smoking Meats, Baseball/Softball, Dancing (line), Macrame <br><strong>Cat or Dog?:</strong> Dog<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs:</strong> linked here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156067.0)<br><br><strong>Face claim:</strong> Art by CT Chrysler <br>

The types of jobs they pick up (roughly in descending order of skill and preference) are gathering &amp; foraging, cooking/baking, farming/gardening, animal care, cleaning &amp; misc tasks, construction/repair, tree felling &amp; mining**.&nbsp; Non-violent, they do not hunt, fight, or fish; they will forage for shellfish like oysters, clams, and mussels.&nbsp; At most they will attempt to defend themselves.&nbsp; They are open to discuss other types of work.&nbsp; They tend not to take on jobs for more than 2 or 3 days at a time, as they start becoming antsy doing one thing for too long.&nbsp; If they are helping someone with a job that takes 2 or 3 days, they may ask about staying over at that person’s abode for the duration.<br><br>A true sensualist, Quoi often slips into a reverie when their senses are engaged; watching a sublime sunrise, taking in the scent wafting from a bruised mint leaf, the soft sponginess of moss beneath their bare feet, the soft susurration of a breeze through leaves, enjoying the salty tang of a lover’s sweat.<br><br>They are becoming well-known in the valley for the delicious tea blends they create from items they’ve foraged as well as the savory veggie pastries and fresh fruit tarts they bake.<br><br>Qoui’s home is a <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">small cabin</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/KdVa0qh.png)</div></div> located due east of the town’s museum, looking out onto the shoreline from just inside the tree line. It had been sitting abandoned and dilapidated for several years before Quoi arrived, and when they discovered it, they were told they could claim it if they fixed it up.&nbsp; Over the course of several months, they worked on it by themselves and bartered with others for work beyond their capabilities. Now it is a cozy single room structure with a second floor storage area. It does have electricity, that Quoi tries to use as little as possible.&nbsp; They don’t have a TV, but they do have a radio.<br><br><strong>Favorite Thing?: </strong>being outdoors<br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?: </strong>feeling constrained<br><strong>Hobbies: </strong>baking, creating tea blends, exploring the valley, dancing, socializing, participating in celebrations, sky/stargazing, sitting on their porch with a nice cup of tea during rainstorms<br><strong>Cat or Dog?: </strong>dog (but none at the moment)<br><br><strong>Misc Notes</strong><br>*Quoi doesn’t like to subscribe to any particular label but most folks view them as non-binary or genderfluid, and Quoi is fine with that as those labels come ‘close enough’.&nbsp; Although they/them pronouns are preferred, Quoi doesn’t mind if referred to by he/him or she/her pronouns.<br><br>**While they are proficient at lumberjacking and okay at mining, they don’t particularly enjoy those tasks, especially for more than a day.<br><br>Sequoia is their chosen name.&nbsp; They generally only share that information with people they become close to, and to date they haven’t shared their given name with anyone in the valley.<br><br>Fascinated by liminal places and events; shorelines, tree lines, dawn, twilight, transitions of seasons, etc.<br><br>Primarily a vegetarian, Quoi does eat shellfish and occasionally fish.&nbsp; They rarely drink alcohol, preferring water, tea, juices, and cider.&nbsp; They will enjoy a cup or two of hard cider occasionally, especially when socializing or during celebrations.<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs: </strong>Quoi is open to anything lighthearted that feels good.&nbsp; (feel free to ask)&nbsp; Doesn’t like being restrained.<br><br>Quoi’s sexual attraction doesn’t derive from things like gender identity, biology, body shape, age (above 18), etc.&nbsp; Their attraction grows from mutual connection and desire.&nbsp; So they are open to sexual relationships with any person they grow close to, if that desire is reciprocated. They don’t want to be restrained to a single relationship, so if something becomes serious, their partner(s) would have to be comfortable with a mutually open or poly type relationship.<br>

Years of working on a farm have left her with toned arms and a surprising level of strength. However, never one to shy away from making rich hearty food, Brianna has a soft stomach and thighs. <br><br>Normally wearing blue jean dungarees and any old t-shirt she can find in charity shops, she does try to put an effort in for special events as seen in her picture.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Bubbly, Optimistic, Motherly, Sweet, a smidge naive at times, Hard-working, Persistent. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> <br><br>Brianna comes from a long line of farmers, dairy farmers, produce and flowers, from the nearby area. Her grandmother was the original owner of Petal Farm and her grandfather brought in some chickens when they joined together! Brianna was born and raised on a dairy farm with her elder brother. She learned from a very early age that hard work was the way to succeed in life. She would work on the farm just as hard as her brother, helping out with milking, hauling hay and tending to the calves on the farm. <br><br>Her brother was next in line to get the farm. Brianna knew this from day one and has never held hatred in her heart for this plan. Brianna knew her mother wanted her to marry off to another farmer somewhere in the wider area, there she would follow in her footsteps and become a housewife and work on their farm. <br><br>That sorta life wasn’t for Brianna…at least not yet. She wanted to have something of her own, to be self-sufficient and find the path of her future by herself. With the passing of her grandfather, her grandmother started to require an extra set of hands on Petal farm. Always one to bring wildflowers home to her parents and tend to the many potted plants that dotted their farm, they sent Brianna to her grandmother at age 20. <br><br>Her grandmother saw a similar soul in Brianna and tried to teach her as much as she could about petal farm and owning a flower farm. Brianna cared for her grandmother for the next four years, tending to the farm as best as she could. When her grandmother passed, Brianna was left Petal Farm and the associated farmhouse. <br><br>Brianna was still learning for the first two seasons, failing over and over again. She took on part time work during harvest with the other farms to get some money to tide her over. Her last two seasons have been successful, even providing some flowers for the flower dance which was her proudest moment! For now, she wants Petal Farm to thrive and will take each day as it comes!<br><br><br><strong>Favorite Thing?:</strong> Searching for wildflowers in the forest near her farm.<br><strong>Least Favorite Thing?:</strong> Staying quiet.<br><strong>Hobbies: </strong>Sewing flowers onto all pieces of clothing she can, badly painting and cooking dinners that will put you in a food coma.<br><strong>Cat or Dog?:</strong> Cat!<br><br><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs: </strong> Please PM about my O/O’s<br><br><strong>Face claim: </strong> https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ed/0e/09/ed0e09d48f874a46453bb26041727913.jpg <br><br><br>---------------------<br><br>I consent to what happens if I go inactive!
