PANDORA'S FOX II

If you were here last June, do you remember that app that appeared on the relics then, Pandora's Fox? It's all about finding your Familiar bond. It's been available for people to use since every Star Child was forced to fill it out or have it filled out for them with its grand reveal. However, it's sat quietly in the background unobtrusive to those who didn't click to see what it was about.

Until now.

That's right, Pandora's Fox is back! (and with a makeover). The app has been rejiggered with old questions and new, including some specific to each Role! The app will buzz and open itself with a blank profile waiting to be filled out. Star Children can fill it out for themselves—as long as they don't lie. This app will not allow Star Children to lie. Honesty is important in a Familiar bond. Star Children who lie may find that answer filled in a little too honestly and unable to be deleted. Anyone who waits too long to fill it in will find it answered for them!

Familiar bonds come in all different shapes and sizes, so find the right person for you!

This is game canon!

Edith Cushing / Lady Edith Sharpe
25 | Female | Legend

If Edith knew about storytelling tropes by name she'd use them to write about herself, this helpful spirit will define Edith in five tropes for you! Silk Hiding Steel, Haunted Heroine, Final Girl, Mystery Writer Detective, Determinator. She's friendly and talkative, a fantastic writer, a puzzle solver, a mystery chaser, and really needs more of a life!

My favorite of these colors is: Lavender.

I live in: Talaria.

I spend a lot of time in: Willow, Tides, Never Fade and honestly a bit of everywhere!

I choose these areas because: I live there, I'm fascinated by it (even if overwhelmed by the technology!), I attend school there (I am a medium and studying tarot as well as expanding my mental abilities) and I just love to explore.

Regions/locations I avoid: I was shy of Cruel Summer and Exile initially—

I avoid them because: —I'm not a fan of wide open/empty spaces, and quiet is terrifying, but in an effort toward personal growth I am trying to see them more and be open to the good qualities everywhere. Exile reminds me a lot of where I lived before coming here ...

I think I'm a Legend because: I'm not the other two, essentially. I don't prioritize myself even when I likely should be; I'm not a solid and steady problem solver who sees both sides of a point. I do have strong morals and they tend to be for the good of the community rather than for any particular individual, myself included.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: A strong sense that it is the right step to take. I follow where my heart leads in situations where my head cannot possibly wrap around the complexities. To have someone who always has my back whether or not they are actually on my side or in agreement with me; to have someone who will stand up to and argue with me if they think I'm being a fool, even.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Deep, abiding friendship–a kindred spirit or bosom friend. I have never had as many good friends as I might have liked and I have a dreamy romantic ideal of close friendship. If you, too, wish for a deep and abiding connection with another, I might be your girl. Especially if you're non-judgmental of the things one must do when one is in a tight spot and needs to survive.

I have these physical traits: Blonde hair, honey-brown eyes, fair skin—oh, the Legend ones? Just the butterfly wings. They're an orangey-yellow and black, like an Eastern swallowtail or a regal fritillary, but can easily be mistaken for a sort of washed-out monarch, a type of butterfly more people are familiar with.

My mood ring eye colors mean: Besides that they brighten and intensify when I have very strong emotions, and that there's a grey overlay to the sclera when I'm particularly depressed, I haven't figured it out yet! I don't look at myself a lot.

The best way to help people is: Isn't this more of a familiar question? I always saw the familiars of us as the real helpers. But I think the answer to this is to listen to the person first and foremost. I am actually a good listener and empathic, maybe that's the answer to the 'why' question. Or maybe I'm just convincing Thirteen I should've been a familiar instead, which I don't think is at all correct, because I'm much too emotional for the stereotype or even what I've observed from actual people.

My dealbreakers are: Betrayal and lying, in general, though I think that's less relevant here? If there's a whole mental bond component, it would be terribly hard to tell me a lie, wouldn't it. Though I would want to be able to keep our minds very distinctly separate! I get the impression it's more that you can communicate mentally than that you must? Also people who don't like to read, don't like stories, don't like books. Those who don't have patience with dreamers. I am not looking for romance at the moment, thank you.

The way you describe friendship sounds really nice.

Doesn’t it? It’s such a glorious concept, really. I’ve only had the one close friend ever before, but I miss him terribly.

That must be hard. I miss my friends from home, too, even though I came here willingly.

[ Would she say any of them are close friends in the way Edith described? Unsure. ]

A medium? [ Rose is perpetually seeking to learn more about the supernatural, finding herself drawn to it — to try and understand anything more that she can about her own daughter's situation. ] Does that mean you're.. psychic? You can see the future, things like that?

Not directly, in terms of the future—but I do have ghostly contacts who can, because ghosts don't have a sense of time in my world so I do get warnings. Back there the warnings were very direct (ghost shows up and yells at me), here because Folkmore has none of its own dead it's got to be more indirect (tarot cards are my primary method, but I can tell my ghosts are influencing the results correctly; that said, they more give advice at the moment).

As far as I've been told I more have the potential to be truly psychic, I'm very much still learning. Not telepathic, which is often conflated; thankfully for my tendency toward migraine I don't have a direct capacity for mind reading, only soul reading, which was a truly useless skill until I came here and actually met people who had more than one.

That was probably far more information than you'd like, I apologize.

( She's listening very intently through all of the woman's words, before quickly shaking her head. )

Oh — no, not at all! I'd love to listen to anything you're comfortable sharing about it. I'm very... interested by all of this sort of thing.

( She offers a soft smile before continuing, curiosity piqued by a particular snippet— )

People with more than one soul? Do you mean... people with multiple... consciousnesses? More than one person inside of them?

As regards your dealbreakers, I must confess a curiosity: what about those who are dreamers, and are still waiting to find out if Cavendish makes it past the end of your book?

Would that, in point of fact, serve as a dealmaker? Or would it only be overwhelming?

Oh, I was wondering if you were you.

I would offer up a copy, but I haven't got it with me any more than I have the book I ended up selling first. I suppose it has a potential for purchase.

While I prefer dreamers, I'm not sure I would want literary fans to have access to my thoughts. Spoilers.

Spoilers?

One's thoughts perhaps ought best remain a foreign and mysterious land, with diplomatic emissaries meeting and trading at the borders — but then, you may have already learned my opinions of mysterious foreign lands, and the possibility of exploring them.

Had you seen me, some time earlier, then? When we were all at the school, perhaps?

As in, plot elements will be spoiled for you.

I did, briefly.

I suppose something to do with 'seeing how the sausage is made' comes to mind, at that. Perhaps that's along the lines of what you mean; perhaps it's simply a close-enough comparison to make the point on your behalf.

Is there a reason you did not wish me to see you in turn, when you did?
