Life is cruel, but I am worse.
About
Full name: Brunhilda ArmstrongNicknames: Hilly, Hildy, Brun, Brunhi, Stupid CowAge: 24Race: Highlander HyurHeight: Maximum- over 6 feetEyes: Dark brown, like coffee.Birthdate: (14th May)Birthplace: The Lochs- Ala MhigoOrientation: Pulse optional!Status: Partnered, they're open and poly.Job & Hobbies: Trained Ninja, Rogue, Dutiful Sister and Manager of Everlight!Personality: Flighty, boisterous, physically affectionate and emotionally unavailabe: Hilly has had to work hard her entire life for her keep. After coming into money she still works hard but is able to spend more time indulging her whims- which tend to be no strings attached flings, alcohol and trinkets for her home.You may notice there's not much more to her than work and spending gil- well so has she. Reluctant to let anyone in, she refuses help but her seeming 2D nature and lack of interests speaks of deeper issues.She enjoys conversing in other languages, since she is a polyglot and linguistic savant- it brings her great joy.Always willing to help someone out for a price, happy to catch people with honey, even happier to dish out the vinegar.Physical looks: Hilly is tall, even for a highlander and has a gorgeous equine nose she inherantly adores. Her hair is now short, and is dark brown as are her eyes. Her body is toned but muscular, betraying her work as more then bartending or flirting fo ra living. She is covered in groupings of freckles, and if you ever see beneath her glamour... more than enough scars to justify her penchant for hitting first and asking afterwards.Her favourite colour is Red of all tones- including all pinks. To her, they're just faded red! How covered she is depends on where she is, but you can usually find her showing a lot of skin in the warmer climates. However- her outfits are always serving two purposes. Cuteness and confidence.At first glance: Hilly is sweet, stupid, charming and kind.If you're interested in her, look deeper- and you may feel horrified at what you find.Family: Deceased. Cousin- alive after a long period under 'missing persons'.
Background
I like people to find things out IC but- sometimes in terms of planning, you need a little background info. Major spoilers will be written in italic and bold~.
♥ She was born into a salt-mining family who moved to the Fringes during Garlean occupation.♥ Since she is a polyglot, speak in a different language around her and she'll likely listen in- if not outright join your conversation. Information is worth everything and conversing is a delight.♥ Hilly is a trained Ninja, since Yugiri helped with the Rogue's guild and taught them. She will always called herself only a rogue if pressed- not that she actually talks about it with anyone not in the know. You may recognise her from her years of service to the Dutiful Sisters of Edelweiss if you aren't.♥ Having made her way to Limsa at only twelve summers old, this orphaned refugee was taken in by the charitable organisation previously mentioned.♥ Yes, her entire family except one cousin are dead. No, she will not talk about it- maybe. If you have questions as to why an Ala-Mhigan has a Limsan twang to their accent, feel free to ask her! No answers are guaranteed.♥She has been involved in many morally grey, or downright illegal activities. The only law she believes in is the Limsan Code. Other than? Free reign! So this girl will pinch, silch, steal, con and honeytrap the right marks if she's in need, bored or just sees an opening.♥ Having dipped into piracy and aided the Sanguine Sirens for most of her life- her old Captain has gone missing too.
---------------------------------------------
(spoilers ahead)♥ Has suffered severe abuse from birth - 12 summers old due to the nature of Garlean Occupation. She witnessed things as a child she never should have and experienced the effects of imperialism. I am sure you can imagine it being almost every type of abuse under the sun, and you'd be correct.♥ Due to the nature of living in Ala-Mhigo in formative development stages and seeing her family die as they left, Hilly has CPTSD and Reactive Attachment Disorder. This is a clue as to how she will react to genuine affection and attempts at knowing her. Hint - Not reasonably.♥ Brunhilda doesn't particularly have a stable sense of self. Well, she does- but only that she doesn't particularly have a favourite anything. She truly is listlessly going through life, only indulging in things that give her good feelings temporarily.♥ She struggles intensely in her relationships- and her best friend, Kai, is the one she has left. You will hear him speak to her like absolute shit- but it's because if she doesn't believe he's upset with her? She isn't listening to any advice or a word he says.♥ She does have emotions and she does feel incredibly deeply, she doesn't recognise them for what they are and wishes not to feel them.♥ Can be *horrendously cruel. I will give warnings before she is, but please do not take her IC actions as mine OOC.♥ Has a severe issue with de-realisation and de-personalisation.Almost nothing she experiences feels real or stays in her mind for too long.

Connections
♥ PARTNER ♡ LOVER ❣ CRUSH
✿ FRIEND ✤ ACQUAINTANCE ✖ ENEMY
? UNSURE
Kai ✿
"You're like... kind'a a dick? But like- a good dick. Like, a thick one you keep going back to for more! You're my longest living connection, and if you did ever die.. or leave me, I don't actually know what I'd do. You know it, I know it, but we never- EVER talk about it. 'cause that's what besties do, right?"Her best friend, whom she would never be able to function without. Both conscience and enabler, Kai is the closest she has to family and she won't let anyone fucking forget it.
Laela ✿ ❣
"If I ever break a nail, I'm running to you! You know that, ah huh? If you ever break a nail, I'll find the item responsible and stamp it to fucking pieces- just you watch! We have fun, and we talk and it's weird but it's nice- so no one's allowed to hurt you. I mean, like- unless you want it. You should kiss me more."A friend. Over months, Laela has been consistently kind and patient, earning Hilly's loyalty and affection. Don't touch her if you want to keep your hand.
Pyralis ?
"Where the fuck do I start with you? You're insufferable but also real. I don't see a lot of people as.. living beings, but you force me to. You hurt me, you know me.. you apologise to me. What are you? Every time I get close to wanting you dead, you change it up again. I'll never say this to you but I.. kinda like you, sorta."Pyralis is an enigma to Hilly, a frenemy and sometimes the reason she has a good time at all. Though she enjoys his insults, sometimes he takes it too far.
A'veht ♥
"I like that my name is carved on your body. Do you like that yours is carved on mine? I know I've loved before, but-.. I don't know, you feel different. We argue and it doesn't matter, I get unhappy or bitchy and it doesn't matter. Bwuh.. You make me feel soft. It's scary sometimes.
I.. love you."Her boyfriend, a man who is more patient than any of the canonised saints and refuses to be an enabler. In the same breath, he is dedicated to aiding her healing journey.
Vibhrama ✖
"Get over yourself, Vibhraaama. I know this is my 'diary' but I won't say anything I wouldn't say to your face. You are: Pompous! Posh! Overly well spoken! Old! Cantankerous! Moody! A sulky, petulant, bitter old bitch.I kind of like it though? You're so fun to irritate. And I mean it when I say you're fuckable."When we say 'enemy', we often hate the similarities between us. This is true, but is it really hate? Yes. But is it really? Kind of yes. What began as curiosity, has devolved over months.
OOC Notes
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read his carrd!
Timezone:
GMT
I'm open to all RP, but angst or darker themese need to be okayed with me OOCLY first. They can be hard to write and I like to make sure everyone in the rp is fine OOCLY first.IC is IC, I am not my character. I am cool and hilarious and I write them but I am not Hilly. If she dislikes or likes you, it doesn't mean I am the same.I don't roleplay with people who use transphobic terms such as futa/trap/etc to describe their character.I may take some descriptions incorrectly or ask for you to explain jokes OOC on occasion as I'm dx'd with autism and I can sometimes need clarification. It also means I can be quite blunt when speaking sometimes even if it isn't my intention bc tone indication doesn't come through in text.
