Greetings, y'all.

Emma here with Card number 3, ironically a Three of Diamonds, Lelial Scott-Hughes. Not from the Deck originally, she's a writer from the Outside who made her living and fortune writing inspirational books, poetry, memoirs, ect. Full info is here, feel free to browse. She's been part of the Suit for about a year, but has only recently returned from Outside where she's been promoting her latest publication and is more than glad to be escaping the hustle and bustle which that entails.

A further note: Lelial was not born blind, but rather suffered a traumatic accident during childhood (of which she has never spoken nor has ever been disclosed to the public) and had to learn to live with her handicap. She overcame countless obstacles and trials to achieve an independent adulthood and semblance of a normal life. She has a deep passion for helping others with abnormalities, but prefers to remain aloof from the spotlight, instead letting her works speak for her in the public venue. Her writing success has made a considerable difference in her life, as money always smooths even the roughest terrain, but financial stability is secondary to her need to share her innermost thoughts and connect with others on a wide scale.

Despite her handicap, she remembers voices very well and can still use a keyboard to write and a pencil/pen, if necessary. She also reads Braille very well. Her vision is not gone completely, (IE: she doesn't exist in total darkness) but she can differentiate between "light" and "dark", and makes her way through her surroundings well, despite lacking visual cue. Just...don't ask her what happened for her to lose her sight, because she won't tell you.

So. CR anyone?

Oh, he'd make her aware once he was there, just... no warning of approach whatsoever. :| Unfortunately he is just creepy like that. He doesn't meeaan toooo. And no getting past Isaac with eating regularly. If she's fussy, he'll make everything Just So and Perfect. Though he pretty much lives on tea, so. He can also handle that. Maybe.

If she likes to go a-wandering for writing in the good weather, she might meet some of my others. Jimmy (

zhuludovi) is a Bulgarian farmer who's always walking around with his over nine thousand animals, and Garrett (

harpheart) is an aspiring musician who can do the music but struggles with the lyrics. This could be Relevant.

AND DID I MENTION: Lelial's not fond of cats. They make her sneeze. She and Isaac will be besties, totes.

Depending on how far Jimmy's farm is from "familiar" territory, she'd definitely stop in and say hello. Maybe stroll over with another Card or two, idk. LOL, she'd definitely help Garrett out. DID I MENTION SHE ENJOYS SINGING, TOO? She's not as proficient at it as Elani, probably, but she doesn't squawk either.

All of Isaac's squees for someone else who won't fall for Thyme's dastardly charms. He loves Leilal already.

It's on Club lands, mainly, but on the outskirts where the walkers go. And he's often in Town to sell his stuff anyway. Come pet the alpacas! Though Jimmy will try to remind her not to baby them too much because they're not pets, they're already spoiled beyond belief anyway.

Garrett will play his ukulele and they can totally have happy fun singing round the campfire times. :D

Cat hair, UGH. IT SPAWNS LIKE GREMLINS.

Ahh, cool! That will work, most definitely. She's British, so idyllic outdoor market food just tastes better, lol. As long as they don't eat her hair or bite at her fingers, she's okay with ~~not~~pets.

A ukulele, FTW. Yes, round robins will be a must. With all the kiddies!

Isaac can lecture for hours about The Dangers Of Dander. Unfortunately, no1curr.

As an Englishwoman, I concur. And his so-called guard alpacas are big babies. They might nibble a bit. They're nowhere near as bad as Jimmy's goose army, who will charge anyone they deem Unseemly.

That is such an adorable mental image. YYYY.

Lelial cares. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, ISAAC.

"Guard alpacas". There must be gifs for this. AND THE GOOSE ARMY.

IT MUST HAPPEN. EVENTUALLY. ON THE GREEN WITH MARSHMALLOWS AND S'MORES.

Just... have all the tea, Lelial. And teach him to spell properly. He won't admit that particular trait to anyone easily but she is looking like a PRETTY GOOD CANDIDATE RIGHT NOW.

Life on Jimmy's farm is pretty sweet. Also full of protective animals.

Daaaaw. I love it. They'll sing folksy songs and Garrett will tell ludicrous life stories of dubious truth value.

D'awww, COME INTO ARMS, BB. He can even bring the spiders, they don't creep her out. She'll literate him, although she can't help much in penmanship, but she can teach him to type, heee. And to spell, yus, defo.

"Dubious truth value". /brb gigglefitting

Also:

His handwriting is beautiful. He just can't spell for shit. And has refused to ask for help on this matter for... oh, idk, OVER A DECADE. Sigh.

OHAI, TRIFON! /snuggles guard alpaca forever /also rightclick+save
