Found a song for Morwenna: A change is Gonna Come by Greta Van Fleet

I am fully back now by the way, and about half way done Celestine's crew opinions? I'm hoping to get them done by tonight

I should work on opinions now that I think about it.

Finally back on my laptop. Hopefully will be getting some updates out shortly. :`)

I did not in fact get this done last night. These are all fully capable of changing over time/if anyone has different ideas!! Also let me know if I got anything wrong or confused

Deidre!

He thinks she’s…interesting. It hasn’t been long enough for him to form a solid opinion on her. He thinks she’s doing well so far as a pirate, she definitely has the dedication for this lifestyle. He’s absolutely put off by her fascination with scurvy though, he thinks it’s very unbefitting of a medic

Siansa!

Celestine isn’t particularly nosy, he understands that everyone on The White Tide has their fair share of baggage and secrets. He isn’t one to bother prying into other people’s pasts if they don’t go prying into his. Thus, he has no strong feelings on Siansa’s mysterious nature. However, she still deeply concerns him on so many levels. Her concertina playing is the stuff of this man’s nightmares. He also hates being pestered, and pities all those who fall victim to her pranks. He thinks she’s a valued member of the crew though, just one who he’d prefer to steer clear of during down time.

Lola!

Celestine has a lot of respect for Lola as the quartermaster. He thinks she’s very rational, and can relate to her very money-oriented goals. The one thing that brings him a bit of grief is her impulsiveness. As a dragon, he’s always kind of been able to sort of ‘play the long game’ per say due to his long lifespan, and he’s been burned by his own impulsiveness in the past. When he sees other people falling into the same traps he did he just kind of has to sigh and shake his head a lot of the time, because by that point it’s usually too late for him to do anything substantial. Overall though he thinks she’s good at her job, and always does his best to pay her the respect she’s due.

Iravan!

Celestine is absolutely miffed by how tall he is. He doesn’t like having to look up to stare someone in the eyes, it makes him feel puny compared to how he used to be. He also finds more cold and distant people more palatable to be around than warm and boisterous people because of the society he grew up in and how it was acceptable to act, so Iravan being nice to him in such a whole-hearted way is kind of…emotionally distressing? He doesn’t know how to act around someone like him, it’s an uncomfortable experience even after the time he’s had to adjust. He’d never admit it, but Celestine is absolutely a little bit afraid of Iravan.

Gore!

Celestine also has a lot of respect for Gore nowadays, but he absolutely used to secretly steal his shiny things. It’s not something he would EVER admit, much less verbally apologize for. He does feel a little guilty though, and stopped doing it a long time ago. He’ll sometimes sneak a tiny bit of his cut of loot in with Gore’s, but that’s the closest he’ll ever get to a sorry. He will very excitedly loan him his maps and discuss the stars with him, and honestly finds the fact that he’s quiet more approachable. Though his impulsiveness wearies him just as much as Lola’s does.

Ariadne!

He thinks she’s very well-suited to her position as the ship’s cook, but absolutely under no circumstance will he subscribe to the seaweed diet. He acts like a cat with fleas that hates baths every time she tries to get him to just eat the dang seaweed and not get scurvy. He’s starting to suspect that she sometimes slips it into his food without his knowledge. He respects her calm demeanour, but is 100% side-eyeing everything she serves him up. He can also relate to Common not being her first language, it isn’t his either. It was something he learned a bit of before becoming human, but he only really became fluent after due to having to actually apply that knowledge and not just study it. He totally has an accent from the kingdom he once called home. (but his voice in my head keeps turning into Minsc's from Baldur’s Gate 3 for some god forsaken reason)

Kai’zenanriah!

At first Celestine was SUPER overwhelmed by Kai’zen. So many questions…so much recklessness….so much energy. Nowadays things are probably a bit more chill between them. Celestine appreciates that he knows when to stop, and thinks he has a wonderfully strong spirit, a good trait for a pirate to have in his eyes. He admittedly finds his stories interesting, Celestine never really got the chance to hear stories outside of what the older members of his clan would tell him when he was young. He’s also a picky eater, so he doesn’t judge him for that at all. Some food is just icky, and he thinks that’s a perfectly reasonable stance to have. Overall, Celestine thinks he’s a valuable and well-rounded member of the crew.

Sonora’Mara!

(May be updated when her full character sheet is done!)

Celestine doesn’t trust Sonora’Mara whatsoever. If he’s sleeping with one eye open, she’s most likely the reason why. He’s adverse to her teasing, and sirens in general put him on edge. Her presence has probably led to him carrying around ear plugs on the daily. He does like the fact that there’s someone who is…almost as old as him on the ship. He feels a little weird considering he’s probably outlived a lot of these people’s great grandparents despite not looking all that old himself. Among dragons he was just a normal adult, but among humans he feels like a cadaver that somehow made its way onto the ship.

Morwenna!

Celestine admires her resilience! He thinks she’s a very good influence to others on the ship, and that she’s a good model for the ideal pirate. This respect is lined with a thin veil of distrust though. He absolutely did not start out fond of her, considering the first impression she made when he himself had only just joined the ship. His grudge has finally just begun to ebb, but he won’t make the mistake of forgetting what she’s capable of.

Ok boom Ariadne opinions on people let's fuckin go.

-

Lola - Ari holds a lot of respect for Lola, calling her “Boss” out of endearment. She enjoys working with the catfolk very much, considering her a very close friend. A lot of the time she just yaps when she and Lola are in the kitchen alone, mainly just spewing basic facts she knows about the various fish she had caught that morning and was in the process of cooking or shoving in the barrel of salt. In the colder months, Lola will occasionally join her in the kitchen to sleep, the two of them soaking up the heat of the ever-burning fire under the soup’s cauldron. She really really likes Lola’s fur because it looks so warm and soft, she is so jealous.

Gore - Besties!! She absolutely adores spending time with Gore, especially when he tells her every fact he knows about various mythical creatures. Whenever she’s not in the kitchen, chances are she’s hanging out with Gore. Most of the time, whenever they (try to) read together, they end up bickering about how words are pronounced and need to bring in a third party just to tell them they’re both wrong. Gore has made her fall over multiple times through steering the ship while she was trying to reach high shelves, like he has gained a sixth sense to know whenever her balance is bad. She often gives Gore her shed fangs and he occasionally tells her the average length of the teeth.

Deirdre - Anyone who likes her soup is a lovely person. She’s incredibly curious about the Lyrathian, especially considering she’s so new to the crew. She’s constantly asking about stories and folklore from her culture, as well as the magic she uses. Because Ari is so quiet, she ends up unintentionally scaring Deirdre a lot. She somehow constantly forgets that suddenly appearing behind someone who is easily spooked can be terrifying. Ari definitely comes to her to learn how to read. She'll try to answer any questions Deirdre may have for her about Nagas to the best of her ability, but she doesn’t actually know that much about her species.

Iravan - Large gang!! She has almost certainly been knocked over a few times from his “greetings,” and she thinks it's hilarious. They both have extremely similar personalities, so they get along great! She always makes sure he eats plenty after learning just how much he needs to eat in order to stay in his human form. She’s constantly slipping him extra soup and snacks. Bro needs that protein. She’s very interested in his appearance. She’s seen other Nagas with scales all over their bodies before, sure, but never with spikes or spines. She’s very curious about leviathans as well, constantly asking about his mother and what his life growing up was like. She greatly admires his positive attitude towards everything.

Siansa - Ari both loves, and is terrified of Siansa. Her playing of the concertina has a similar effect on Ari as a Siren’s song… in that she wants to jump into the ocean every time she hears it. The second she sees the instrument she is running away as fast as possible, hiding away in the kitchen or her quarters in an attempt to escape the noise. She is too polite to say anything but by the Gods does she hate hearing the racket. Other than that, Siansa is lovely! She enjoys talking to Siansa, just as she does with the rest of the crew. She’s very interested considering how mysterious Siansa always is about herself, constantly pestering her with questions that never get answers.

Celestine - Partial reptile solidarity, yippee! She is constantly scheming over how she can get him to eat his vegetables. It’s almost become her life’s mission to make sure this man won’t die from scurvy. Bro is going to eat seaweed and he is going to like it, even if that means he doesn’t know he’s eating it. She’s changed the soup multiple times in order to get him to actually get proper nutrients, eventually landing on just using it to create a broth. Can’t escape the seaweed if it’s the soup’s base. She stocks up on oranges or lemons whenever they dock (if they’re available) and candies the fruit and peels in order to preserve them so she can at least offer some food with vitamin C that's more appealing than seaweed. Ari loves looking at his scales and thinks that they look much cooler than hers. She’s not jealous of them or anything, just very appreciative of the pretty colors. She has probably grabbed his tail a few times to see how they felt compared to hers.

Kai’zen - Similar situation to Gore, she only calls him Kai. She already struggles speaking normally, she would die trying to pronounce his full name. If Kai is telling a story, she’s there, staring at him with wide eyes. She is locked in. She enjoys the ‘interrogations’ that he has with other crew members, often eavesdropping in order to learn more about the crew without having to ask them herself. If she ever notices him watching her cook she asks if he’d like to help. He is going to learn the top 5 best ways to gut a fish today, there’s no avoiding it now. She’s just as focused on making sure he eats properly as she is with Celestine, desperately making sure that neither of them get scurvy.

Sonora’Mara - (Subject to change as her personality is added but just going off the traits rn) Sonora is Ari’s polar opposite. Ari is dumb, Sonora is intelligent. Ari has a hard time speaking, Sonora is very eloquent. Ari is incredibly intrigued by the Siren, considering how much of a threat they’re usually considered in the pirate life. But there’s one right here in their crew! She’s curious about Sirens, and constantly asks questions about the species whenever she’s around Sonora’Mora. She should probably be cautious around the Siren, but Ari just sees a new friend. She is not a smart snake.

Morwenna - Even though it’s been years since she joined the crew, Ari still finds herself wary around the witch. All those years ago she had been the first to find the young witch stealing from them, and was attacked. Being an inexperienced fighter, Ariadne was incapacitated almost immediately and badly injured. She only heard of everyone else’s injuries once she woke up, and she was a bit miffed to learn that the young woman responsible for hurting her and her friends was being allowed to stay. She’s not outright hostile toward Morwenna, though she doesn’t go out of her way to interact with her like she does with the rest of the crew. She doesn’t hate her, but she sure as hell doesn’t like her.

Cynric - WIP

Torio - WIP

Anubis - WIP

Masha - Ari just wants to love Masha, but Masha does not love her. Cats like warm things, yes? Ariadne is not warm, ever. She can pspspsps as much as she wants but she never gets any attention. She gives Masha some good cuts off of the fish filets in an attempt to bribe her but it never really gets her anywhere.

Mordred - Big guy?! Ari absolutely adores the big lug of a “dog” and would give him belly rubs 24/7 if she didn’t have to be productive. She definitely calls him “Little Puppy” or something despite him being absolutely massive. She loves getting kisses from the big baby boy.

The Chickens - She loves all of them very dearly. They are all very useful in her eyes and she will give them all little smooches on the tops of her heads should they allow her. She gives them lots of food, and enjoys watching them eat whatever she throws in front of them like the little garbage disposals they are.
