Character Overview

About
Verlin is a junior at a German private school, staying on her own most of the time due to being a diligent prodigy student, and so she has more time to spend of video games than with people. She’s airheaded when it comes to some social cues and doesn’t understand a lot of indecent humor, rather sheltered growing up homeschooled with strict parents. Only recently moving in with her sister Arcat, Verlin indulges more in her hobbies than when she was under her parents supervision, and learns it isn’t so bad hanging out with others too(even though her friends are in other grades).



Personality
Verlin is a very intuitive person so when she has a hunch about something, she's often correct. Her impressions of others are usually right. As a student she is very diligent and does her work during her lunches just so that way she has more time to play games after school. When someone has a slight interest in something she likes, she can go on and on talking about it. This can make some think she's strange in that case, or some who agree with her still feel like they can't interrupt her. She tends to apologize after rambling when it becomes dead silent. While not berating herself, she thinks badly of others in her mind and the smallest things give her a bad impression. She thinks a lot of people aren't worth her time and she's fine as is having video games to occupy her, but it's not a very good mindset to have. She'll learn at least.


Likes: White, pastels, Retro games, Peaches, Baggy clothes, Valorant, FPS
Dislikes: Cleaning, Errands, Seafood, Horror, Exclusions

Character Lore

Backstory
Verlin's fondest memories stem from her time growing up with her big sister, Arcat. She'd always looked up to her, respected her even if Verlin was the one gradually favored by their overbearing parents. Their mother and father expected their daughters to be straight A students, excellent without distractions. Verlin didn't notice it that much as a kid, seamlessly good at school that they were already pleased, but she had other priorities in her mind like her sister did. For Arcat it was singing, a wonderful hobby that she only engaged in when her parents weren't around, or simple humming in their shared bedroom that Verlin loved to sleep to. For Verlin, her father occasionally unwinded with games, thought oriented games like computer solitaire or even big scale jigsaw puzzles. Her love of solving difficult, rewarding tasks was born, and it only spiraled when her grade school friends sneaked in consoles during recess, spiraling Verlin into her fondness for video games themselves.

At some point during the start of middle school, Verlin's sister intended to leave home and pursue her passions. Verlin, who'd wear headphones late at night to play video games, who tended to drown out the unpleasant noise of her family disputing with Arcat, wasn't that surprised. She tried not to pay it any mind that there were holes in her family's dynamic, but for her dear sister to go away, she didn't want to be left behind. After all, she'd miss her voice most of all. Willingly tagging along, her last memory of her parents being a sarcasic "good luck" as they expected to see them crawl back, Verlin was unsure what would happen. There were doubts, guilt the first few weeks, but things slowly got better and better once they grasped how comfortable it was just with the two of them. Starting at a new school, Verlin didn't let her chance to openly play games overtake her need to do well in school, contuining to do her best if her sister would as well.

Now it's been a few years with Arcat, glad her big sister got a comfortable job even if it may be temporary once Arcat's singing journey continues. Verlin has managed to make friends, to meet some unusual people in her lifetime, occasionally people who can play games with her. It's nostalgic, cozy to share her hobbies with others, to connect that way. She wishes for those carefree days to continue with those most important to her, no longer using video games as a source of escapism and distraction, but to thoroughly enjoy them with others.

Character Relationships

Arcat
"Sis, I have clubs today so I'll be home later this time. I...made you lunch and dinner for today, it's in the fridge. What is it? Hmm, you'll see."
Sisters close enough to read the other's face without any words, who've been through life's ups and downs together, although Verlin understands the weight her big sister carries is much more than her own. She wants to be done with school asap and work to help financially, but her sister also insists she goes to college. Any arguments are for Verlin's own good, but they still get along very well to often play video games every night.

Juneau
"Seriously, my sister is really worrisome. She burned the french toast this morning, but still insisted on eating it so I wouldn't have to, or to not waste it I guess. You do the same? Geez, you two are way too selfless, you know? I'll have to keep an eye on both of you. Anyway..."
Friends through a literature club. Verlin hates awkward silences so she tended to direct questions to Juneau during seminars to make her participate, but their likemindedness towards books made her more respected. Verlin kinda sees Juneau like a big sister due to her level headed advice and caring gestures towards her, even if they're about the same age. Juneau can still be shy, but Verlin gets that and likes the opportunity to yap to someone who likes to listen more in conversations.

Peppin
"Hah? Baseball isn't that interesting to me, it's so much waiting. Well, at least you run fast...you're the most interesting one there. Hold on, that's only what I've heard from Otthild!"
Girls who both have rude resting faces, so naturally making eye contact for the first time intimidated the other not that it showed LOL. Verlin respects her baseball skills and roots her on in her mind, but conversation wise she seems to be standoffish towards Peppin inadvertedly, solely because she doesn't know how to get a conversation going with those younger than her. When she realizes Peppin is the daughter of Arcat's boss, she seems to be a bit more nervous and kinder to Peppin, who's very confused at the special treatment.

Character Design

Design Notes

- 5'3. Often has a 😠 resting face but it's just a habit.

- Likes baggy sweater vests, pleated skirts, and leg warmers.

- Dresses preppy when going out but at home it's a lot of baggy oversized T shirts. Either headbands or hair clips too.
