Relm ArrownyFinal Fantasy 6 (from sprite more than artwork)
(Didn't see any of the original character art until I'd gotten accustomed to the sprite & the image of her I had in my head. Hence why there are differences between my art & the official art.)Class: Familiar (Pictomancer)
Age: (after game) 12
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 88 pounds
Birthdate: September 9th
Blood Type: B
Weapon: PaintBrush
Special Skill: Sketch/Control
Appearance:
Hair: Shoulder length, light brown, curly hair.
Eyes: green (sometimes light green); intelligent & slightly mischievous.
Figure: Slender build with curves & "fae/pixie" look more than anything else.
Clothing: green "band" shirt with billowy white off the shoulder sleeves & yellow fitting sleeves on the lower arms. Green harem pants. Red boots. Red Beret with yellow feather. Red cloak with yellow tips.
Special Markings: Henna-like markings on ears & around base of tail, red then yellow tipped feathering on tail.
Backstory: Relm is the daughter of a native Thamasa woman and Clyde (aka the ninja/assassin/mercenary, Shadow). Because her mother passed away and her father is not around, Strago -a family friend- took her in as a surrogate granddaughter, and has been raising her ever since. Living in a village of people who secretly use magic, Relm is a stubborn but skilled child. Relm possesses an inherent affinity to painting. Her portraits can, literally, captivate people. Despite her adopted Grandfather's protests -& being an over-energetic child- she tags along with Strago, Locke, and Terra (unknowingly to them) when they search for the Espers. She, of course, gets tangled up with all the revolution business to fight the Empire and even meets her father. She is not aware of Shadow being her father however, though it is clear with the almost puppy-dog like reaction Shadow's attack dog, Interceptor, has in playing with the pictomancer -much to the assassin's chagrin. Don't think for a minute she's useless due to her age. Not only is Relm a true artist, but she is also a wonderful actress, and her ability to feign helplessness comes in quite handy. As well as her ability to kick butt! Relm's special gift is her ability to 'Sketch' different monsters, and in doing so use their own attacks against them but many people do not realize that she is the strongest magician in the game. Her Magic power is unrivalled, making her immensely powerful should you decide to use her. Of course, her physical attack strength is non-existent, and she doesn't take hits too well either.
Shadow's Tale: Shadow's past is shrouded in mystery and revealed through his dreams. Before he became an emotion-dead ninja/assassin/mercenary, he Shadow was a thief named Clyde working with his friend Baram. Their greatest feat was the theft of 1,000,000 GP from a train. Somewhere along the way, Clyde and Baram are chased by the authorities and Baram is hurt in the process. Clyde is forced to leave Baram behind (a choice that grievously upsets him). He eventually finds his way to the town of Thamasa, were a woman nurses him back to help. Like all obvious stories, the two fall in love and have a baby girl. It's plainly obvious that this girl is none other than Relm.
Possibly because he was an outlaw, or because he knew he would not make a good father, he leaves Thamasa in the interest of Relm. Interceptor decides to follow him, and that's how Clyde came to be Shadow. This, of course, explains why Interceptor is nice to Relm, and no one else. It also explains Shadow's hesitation towards Thamasa. This particular Relm seems to display more of the percocious nature inherent in her character than some of the other Relms in the family. She loves to pull pranks and get involved in everyone's lives. Of course, she also likes to take great care that any pranks she pulls cannot be
directly linked to her no matter how someone might suspect she is behind it.

Rune was created for a pair of FF8 FanFics I wrote. One is a parallel reality to the FF8 game in which when Ellone leaves Balamb Garden, Rune -one of her White SeeDs- stays behind to join the party in hopes of finding Seifer & turning him around again on Ellone's advice. Of course, her involvement changes the future course of the story, if ever so slightly (may or may not put here later). The other starts only after the Game has ended, with Ellone again nudging the shy Rune to go to Seifer during or after the party.Backstory (either way): Rune was one of the Orphanage Gang, though being even more quiet & shy than Squall she was more often than not overlooked by everyone except Matron & Ellone. She preferred quiet, solitary play, daydreaming, & watching the others to playing with any of them. Seifer she watched more than the others. Her Favorite "let's pretend" was "the Faerie Queen & her knight", a spinoff of the traditional "Sorceress & Knight" tale. In it, she was the Faerie Queen and Seifer the knight who was her constant champion, friend, & companion.
When Ellone had to leave, Rune would not leave her & so was taken along to be trained as a White SeeD. She was junctioned with a Guardian Force that Ellone helped pick out for her, M'drin, that was a memory/psychic GF. As such, instead of the usual loss of memory due to prolonged junctioning of GFs, Rune expererienced almost the opposite effects of even her furthest childhood memories being made clearer. As such, she has the best memory of their childhood -easily surpassing even Irvine who remembered the most.
Even though she chose to be with Ellone, her thoughts & heart constantly pull her back to Seifer as she wonders how he is doing. When Ellone goes to Balamb Garden, Rune is thankfully with their 'Sis' to both protect Ellone and have a chance to see how Seifer -and the others- have fared.
Being one of only two people Rune will speak with more than what is absolutely necessary, Ellone has encouraged her "little sister's" love & devotion to Seifer. Rune herself does not know
why though she appreciates the support.
Since arriving in Gaia, Rune has taken to Trelweny's quiet support. Her new sister, Relm, quickly caught on to the White SeeD's feelings and often forcefully nudges her to more effective actions.
