Contact: phaseblast, discord: isa#2727 | add at will! Info: OH SELF-INTRODUCTIONS ARE THE WORST..... hi!! i'm isa, they/them, i've been around in dwrp for like 15 years at this point. standard geek introduction, i'm into video games and animanga, i do art sometimes, etc. etc. uhhh i'm really into otome games which is my embarrassing special interest i have embraced in recent years. i've played a lot. if you want recs ask me. in particular i am a yandere connoisseur. --oh sorry i forgot the most important personal fact about me which is that 95% of my music listening is the mountain goats.
i'm australian, so my tagging times will be off-peak for the most part! i work full time as an optician and sometimes i can sneak tags in on quiet days but obvs my usual tagging hours are in the evening when everyone else is asleep lmao.
RUDBECKIA DE BORGIA
Canon: How to Win My Husband Over Age: 18 physically, early 20s actual Permissions: link Info:
isekai protagonist who transmigrated from one unending nightmare into another. a perpetual victim in both her lives, rudbeckia's survival has hinged solely on her ability to perform a role: someone harmless, submissive, and people-pleasing. because it's the only thing she has that keeps her safe, she will never stop! she's a two-faced manipulative liar, cute and chipper on the outside, seething with bitter despair on the inside. (expect a lot of two part comment responses from me lmao.) prey animal instincts always turned on because she is absolutely up to her fucking eyeballs in trauma.
speaking of the trauma, she comes with some pretty prominent content warning labels, so please for the love of god check those out.
Soulmate(s): ABSOLUTELY NOT. PERSONAL CONNECTION BAD. however, she's aware that it's a thing she apparently needs for safety reasons, so she'll probably be sizing people up to find the least troublesome ones. obviously i as a player want her to get tangled up in all kinds of soulmate bonds.
Shadow: ruby's shadow has a two-pronged approach to her; one of them, the more invasive, encourages her existing bitterness and anger at others and will urge her to lash out. but she's good at swallowing that kind of thing. the way it's really going to get to her is the other side of the shadow, which is far more subtle and which she won't even be consciously aware of, feeding into her fears and insecurities to drive her self-isolation and her distrust towards others.
Plotting: ruby's gonna be actively looking for reliable people she can attach herself to - "reliable" meaning strong, honourable if she can get it, straightforward if she can't. she will present herself as someone a little bit helpless, but sincere and obedient, carefully toeing the line between someone who needs to be protected and someone who's dead weight. as fooor some basic cr hooks at this stage--
SUNSHINEY PRINCESS ☆ the persona ruby will adopt at all times is that of a kind and sheltered young princess who's honest and a bit of a crybaby. she's canonically VERY good at faking it and rarely breaks character in front of anyone (though observant or socially savvy characters might pick up that something is Not Right) so if you want persistently cheery friend cr for your sullen or prickly characters, she can fill that role!
TRAINING ☆ 100% a normal-ass person whose height of combat experience would be like, a slap-fight. in fact, she is used to responding to violence with absolute submission. soooo she's definitely going to need some people to help her become the bare minimum of useful, whether that's self-defence training or first aid lessons. she will in fact BEG people to help her with this.
MARKS ☆ like i said, ruby's biggest priority is people she can suck up to who will protect her, no matter what side they're on. if you want to get manipulated by an 18(?) year old girl (or even just pretend to, out of curiosity/amusement) who is at all times in hypervigilant survival prey animal mode, hit me UP !!
HOT GIRL SHIT ☆ once the restless as a group have sort of gotten the hang of things and settled into the world a bit, ruby is definitely going to want to do some normal things with people just for stress relief. come play dress-up and have a fashion show in her room! let's have a game night or something! she's gonna lose her goddamn mind if she doesn't scrounge up some shreds of escapism!! Visuals: webnovel/webtoon fandom woes i have to draw my own memes
ngl, i haven't continued with one yet since i'm rereading flirting with the villain's dad, but i'm so glad to see other webtoons characters around. i was planning on apping roxana as a 2nd character but i wanted to settle down with one character first. also because what are regrets for roxana? what are fears when you're the one feared ...
i'd love to offer a training??? companion??? for ruby? also a protector that she can suck up to.
GOD ROXANA WITH A SHADOW IS A TERRIFYING CONCEPT....... girl we can't afford for you to get worse you're already in too deep
hell YES ruby will suck up to lumine even if she's kind of extra nervous about people who seem to be genuinely good and friendly because what the fuck is up with that..... but. powerful girls much less scary than powerful guys so hey who is she to complain!! free protection and somebody who can teach her to at least swing a stick without giving her a panic attack in the process
BUT LOOK she'll thrive even more .................................................
dwdw she'll do her best not to call ruby out with her, uhm, emotional manipulation so she can feel safe and secure and comfy. but lumine will protect her and be a good friend!! see!! totally works out.
Hiiii, I've got no ideas because my girl fits none of the cr things you've asked for. She's a 17 year old, half-feral cat ninja whose lazy and selfish.
IT'S ALL GOOD i'm sure we'll find some way to throw them together!! the benefit of ruby playing her sweet sunshiney princess role is that she HAS to be nice to everyone even if they are unsociable catgirls
and if nothing else izutsumi can fight which makes her useful in ruby's eyes so she'll probably try to figure out how to win her over for the sake of adding another person to her list of safety options. girl she'll give you whatever you want if you can keep her safe
HI ISA im yaywon... touches rudbeckia's hand... she and hsy were so funny on the tdm IM SORRY FOR DROPPING THE BALL THERE RL ATE ME but im here now and i want cr!!!!
my ultimate dream is for hsy and rudbeckia to find out that they're both isekai savvy it would be so funny otherwise she's here to be someone reliable??? that ruby can attach to maybe??? girl let her teach you how to throw a dagger and perhaps commit crimes. you can charm people while hsy robs them blind y/n
YAYWON I WAS LITERALLY JUST ABOUT TO HIT UP UR MEME TOPLEVEL!! ruby and hsy were SO good i love them already
LEGIT I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN RUBY & THE ORV TRIO CAN TALK ABOUT WEBNOVEL TROPE LIFE PROBLEMS. but until then yes definitely let her stick to hsy even if she is so confused about how to react to hsy's...... everything. it's going to be so funny whenever hsy is being a bitch and in her head ruby is just 100% agreeing, they are BOTH catty bitches ruby just has to lie about it. and god the idea of hsy getting ruby into CRIME...... YOU HAVE TO PROMISE NOT TO DITCH HER THO!!
SHE CAN'T SAY IT OUT LOUD SHE HAS TO LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH HSY!! it's hsy's sacred duty to go apeshit for the both of them. MAKING SOMAEK FOR HER THO.... CUTE
ruby like hmmm maybe this is some fundamental aspect of korean culture she missed out on when she was alive........ being batshit insane and bad at feelings
just dropping in to say i love villainess manwha and will totally be looking this one up! ruby looks like a blast to play with! what if we tried to manipulate eachother for protection...and we were both girls... >_>
IT'S A GOOD ONE i mean it's junk food quality like all romance webnovels/webtoons but as far as junk food goes it's tasty
and GODDDD rachel & rudbeckia definitely have the potential to be......... something. especially since ruby doesn't normally expect the worst from girls unless she can tell they're actively hostile towards her so it's entirely possible rachel would slip right in under her usual hypervigilance which i'm 100% down for because i'm the worst and i love ruby getting betrayed
romance webnovels got me reading shit titled "The Beast Tamed By The Evil Women" and enjoying it.
noooo not ruby undone by her feminist spirit. rachel is a very polite and courtous person in her daily life so i think despite not even being a very clever manipulator she could prob get the wool over rubys eyes yeah ;w;)/ im also down for this kinda dynamic! drama!
I have a straightforward, strong, reliable guy here who she can absolutely attempt to manipulate and who will protect her (not because of the manipulation but because it is the right thing to do).
