Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

I love Riss, and I loved how much she was able to hit to a good vibe thanks to her connections with NPC and PC alike. Really strong relationships I adore very much. Feel free to ask all those questions you may or may not have, I'll try my best!

Riss!

Sadly we never met.

Still super fun to follow OOC. Will Lady Lanar return?

I would certainly like her to. Depends though, we shall see what Hoth asks for!

Countess Riss!

Was that something you pictured as a possibility for Riss at the start? xD

Reclaiming her name as Riss Lanar, yes.

Going all the way to becoming Countess Riss Lanar? Never.

I enjoyed having someone that hated Zeno for a straight up specific legit reason, but still felt like they wanted something from him. It gave me the opportunity to show a side of him most characters likely doubted existed... a lack of cruelty for its own sake! Our interactions helped me to refine him and I thank you for the opportunity!

Riss and Zeno won't ever be friends probably, but I loved her.

I'm very glad to hear that! It was always interesting playing off Zeno because of that different connection they had, and getting to show Riss is generally emotional but in control of it too was cool.

Probably never friends, but definitely a pair that can work together when they've a mind for it!

Countess! I was going to say what Riss's fashion was going to be like now that she's going to be countess now, very curious. Of course, Aurilie is more than happy to do some clothes/tailor shopping if need be! Also, now they can work on a local Huttball league, too! Team Rissaster!

It seems Riss was a very busy girl, admittedly I had a hard time keeping up with the plot but thank you for involving me part of her wagon, so to speak! It was pretty fun to have two connecting with each other and she really brought out an entirely different Aurilie. There was a lot of concern and a bit of frustration on her end, which I hope wasn't too overburdening on Riss's end at least.

I really enjoyed our brief interaction! You have an uncanny way of painting your characters and I'm kind of in awe. What was your favorite moment in your narrative if you can think of one? One that really said, 'This is my character... this is Riss'?

I'm sure there'll be plenty of moments in their future where they do such things! Her general-style likely won't change too much, but certainly will be just upgrading the fancy/expensiveness of it all.

I'm always happy to get others involved where I can, and Aurilie especially. Loved their connection, it was really fun to play on where we could and when. I mostly just was hoping Riss' own processing of the traumatic experience didn't weigh threads down too much! Aurilies reactions to things were always sensible, and wonderful to have. It was cool to get the very different tones from everyone

Thank you so much, hearing that means a lot

And hey! You stole my question!!

For Riss, I wanna say the club scene with Joran. There was a lot showing up in Riss in that scene, from the original casual flirting, and then the confrontations she made later on. Confrontations which were largely charged with her deeper caring for those close to her, not all that worried about the slights against her as the one's against them. It was a really fun scene to play out overall too.

I love character development! I'm curious. Not to mention it's fun when seemingly random or unimportant moments highlight what the character really truly is. Haha

I can remember two confrontations. The first when you were defending Cynella from Yula, and the other, glorious moment, where Joran finally stopped seeming like a twit to Breela ('Cousin...' punch to the face). Which of those did you mean? Both maybe?

Two in that same night of the Baron being punched, first one being the Baron about Cynella, while the second was Delmi about Bryson. Both confrontations came from a similar place. One however, Delmi's, was a little less direct than the one with the Baron.

I see

Well hopefully Breela and Riss will meet again on Hoth. I know Riss' tale ended up taking a tragic turn but maybe after 5 years you'll have a refurbished estate to show off and maybe some pictures of her new family to brag about.

Countess Lanar is always welcome to stop by at Mount Joral!

You know, as much as I teased Riss X Cynella, they really just melded so well as friends. That being said, that's exactly the sort of relationship Cynella would want (and thankfully she enjoys Aurilie's company very much!). I'm curious if Riss could handle someone who's, well, less inclined to act on flirtations!

They melded so well as friends! Riss and Cynella have a special place in my heart with how their friendship worked out, it was wonderful every single time. And she could, generally! Depends on which kind of relationship. If it's a serious relationship.. depends! Would really depend on the vibe that gets set between them.
