important memories.
^{_{» i was quite close with my siblings. not just lyney and lynette, but some of the other children who had been taken into the house of hearth. unfortunately, by the time the traveler reached fontaine, it was just the three of us left.
» i killed people because it's all i believed i was good at other than diving. they were typically through stealth missions as father deemed i was as quiet as a mouse. i could slip in and out without anyone noticing... and it always worked.
» orders were necessary for me to function. i found solace in my clockwork toys i would create and tinker with... because they reminded me of myself. i saw myself in them and so i grew attached.
» the world beneath the surface was where i found true solace. putting on my helmet and letting myself sink to the bottom of the waters... it was comforting. it helped me focus and meditate to ignore what just occurred and event acted as an easy way to wash my hands of blood.}}

^{_{» i was a natural clairaudient. while it took a lot of practice and time to get used to, it was a skill i honed in quite well when i finally began working with spirits. it was terrifying at first, considering i first properly learned of this ability in college, but i got used to it. was i comfortable with it though? fuck no. i was terrified of ghosts i fucking hated being able to hear them.
it typically manifested choppily, so i would often brush them off as auditory hallucinations. once i realized what they were, i learned i had been hearing them for as long as i could remember.
» the first time i interacted with a ghost was in college. i heard stories of our dorm building being haunted and, one night when my roommate was gone for the weekend, i decided to explore the dormitory late at night. because i enjoyed writing, i brought my notebook with me in case i found a place to sit and take a break. unfortunately, that is how i ended up making contact with it. my first instance of a sort of "ghost writing" was while i was hunched over a table in a study room in the basement. i could've sworn it whispered in my ear but i was too horrified to properly remember the encounter.
» i could see ghosts on occasion, but i couldn't see into the further. i'm not quite sure how i was able to see them, but i could. never entities as powerful as the demons elise would describe to me, but lesser ones that would wander aimlessly. if they wanted me to see them, i learned i could... but it was incredibly rare that was the case.
» spirits would write and sometimes draw themselves through me. the transition between me doing my job and a spirit partially taking over was always blurry at the time of it happening, but it would be crystal clear in hindsight. i would dissociate when it happens, completely blanking and losing touch with all of my senses, only to snap back an undefined amount of time later. sometimes the equipment will have already been taken off or the lights will be on... it was creepy. it scared the shit out of me. i had no control over myself during those times but all they could do through me was write or draw.
» imogen and i did not stay together for very long. we did get together at first and lasted about a year, but we eventually learned we didn't work well as a couple. we stayed incredibly close friends (she ended up taking up elise's role in our team!) but otherwise we never pursued anything romantic again.}}

^{_{» i was romantic with zhongli but it did not last long after i left liyue. we did not interact all that much after i returned to snezhnaya. i would occasionally come across him again and we would talk, but it was usually in a business/official setting (or, in later cases, war settings).
» scaramouche was a brother to me. we were incredibly close and would taunt each other as brothers typically would. there was a childlike wonder to our friendship (if you consider me poking and prodding him constantly and his annoyance as wonder). i cared for him deeply and killed for him multiple times. nothing could deter me from being on his side in arguments or battles.
» i became manic after scaramouche erased himself from irminsul. i couldn't remember what was taken from my memory, but i could sense a gap. it was like waking up from a dream and knowing it was wonderful and emotional... but you cannot grasp a single detail. it was a giant gaping void in my mind. i felt grief... anguish, anger... it sent me spiraling and turned my attention to fontaine to try and distract myself.
» my delusion was killing me, but the power inside of me wouldn't let me die. i was practically a walking corpse... an electro zombie. whatever it was that was inside of me was holding me together using the power of my delusion, despite that very creation being what was tearing me apart.
» i died at the hands of the tsaritsa.}}

important memories.
^{_{» i was originally a mako shark before i became the hydro archon. i did not understand what was going on when i was given a human form until neuvillette eventually found me. it was quite hard to walk on two legs after swimming my entire life.}}

important memories.
^{_{» i could only speak common and elven. despite being a tiefling, i was raised by an elf. i do not know who my mom was.
» i was in a romance with astarion.}}

important memories.
^{_{» i loved lilith. i never demanded her to submit to me, that was a change she made to the fairytale passed throughout hell and that charlie holds dear. i adored her so much because i had no sin. she was my everything.
» i wasn't sinful in heaven at first. the sins only came maybe a thousand years into being in heaven. even then, they weren't as big or prominent as they are by the time the show takes place
» the horns weren't real at first. my horns became real a while into the extermination as a physical manifestation of my sins taking hold of my soul.
» i bit from the apple.
» eve became roo. after she ate the apple of eden and convinced me to take a bite, she changed... horribly. she became roo before my very eyes in the most grotesque display of body horror i ever witnessed across even the thousands of years i was an angel
» i was not skinny. at first i was but gluttony was the first sin that i fell into in the afterlife because there was nothing to do.
» lute and i were close but we were not romantic. we were intimate together, sometimes being mistaken for a couple by souls who didn't know us, but there was nothing romantic between us. lute was a lesbian and i was bisexual, we just kissed sometimes. intimate with no romantic connection.
» the mask never came off. i refused to take it off for thousands of years in public because it became so integral to my identity. it was a physical manifestation as my emotional mask and it became my face. it was how people identified me anymore, no one knew what i looked like underneath (except sera, emily, and lute). i didn't know how to exist without it and i ended up forgetting how to act like myself--the man i was before sin. the only time it willingly came off was when lucifer broke it.
» i was the only human soul that became an archangel.
» after niffty killed me, i remanifested in hell as a sinner. i don't remember what i looked like as of right now other than i still had my horns and height. my wings were gone and replaced with agonizing phantom pains that tormented me constantly. i did NOT have hooves or goat ears.
» massive fucking crush on lucifer.}}
