Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

As a character, Aino is independend and quite straightforward. She isn't the type to act the lady, or blush overtly much. She knows herself quite well and isn't squeamish about matters of the body or the heart.

Aino is a herbalist by trade, living just outside of a blossoming trade town. As a skilled craftswoman and general knowledge seeker, people oft mistake her for a witch. Her being a young woman and living without the help of a family or a husband does nothing to dispel this. As things are, no harm has fallen on her as of yet - and she keeps unwanted visitors away quite skillfully with some application from her crossbow.

People from town occasionally stop by to buy herbal remedies from her, as well as more magical potions. She also sometimes sells pelts and other miscellanious items.

At the moment there are two children staying with Aino. Her little sister Vilja. And Twisp - a lost child she found from the forest and is now taking care of until they can locate her guardian. Twisp also helps her with gardening and general housework, but needs to constantly be corrected. Thankfully Vilja does most of this, allowing Aino to continue her work.

Maybe it was a good thing that Twisp came up. Vilja seems to be more social, at least. And the two of them are helpful.

RP:
While I am going to make modern and scifi AU:s of her eventually, for now I'm only looking for fantasy/medieval settings. I will only write in third person, past tense, and am looking for the same from you.

Aino is bi/pansexual, and doesn't really care overtly much about gender, though does prefer not to be tied down. She's not really looking for anything specific.

Aino is a great healer, a herbalist and doesn't shun people based on appearances. Maybe your characters just need a connection like this.
