✦．「 roots crawl in the skin without prejudice. 」
seep into the body, a still-waiting rot where flies make home, a brood will make a cave out of the crevices. moss will warm the skin; hair replaced by tall, flora-filled grass. in this moment, you are nothing. in time, you will be precisely what the earth makes you. and you will learn to live it, to breathe it, to love it, to be it. let the flora lead where you need.
tw : body horror, death, descriptions of gore, pregnancy, dubcon. there is nothing overtly triggering in this carrd, however, trigger points will be marked with the following indicator: ◎
✦．O1「 do. 」
✦．do feel free to walk up and interact with arun.
✦．do ask to join if the mun is engaged with another person.
✦．do let the mun know what kind of roleplay you'd like with them. they are not precisely the more 'palatable' type.
✦．O2「 don't. 」
✦．don't be sexually strange towards arun. they will not take kindly to it.
✦．don't force connection. they will wander where they see fit.
✦．don't try to get a rise out of arun. it is intentionally difficult to do so.
✦．O3「 dni. 」
✦．dni if you are not a fan of prose, bordering on purple. the mun will tone it down if you ask, however.
✦．dni if you only want erp out of arun.
✦．dni if you will only befriend me for art / music / gposes.
✦．O4「 manners. 」
under no circumstances do i tolerate folk being a dickhead. how i describe one as such would include the following: transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, misandry, racism, ableist and any other forms of bigotry. those that treat others with kindness and respect will gain that in return. i don't deal with folk that don't, to either the mun or the character themselves.
✦．O5「 communication. 」
i am a very quiet individual but will always, always communicate when i cannot or can do something. likewise, i will communicate whether something makes me uncomfortable or not. i, especially, expect the same out of those that want to roleplay with arun. the moment you hit me with something that could have been solved from a talk, i will not be entertaining it.
✦．O6「 conflict. 」
i will generally not put arun in any form of conflict unless it is discussed ooc. it can be stressful for the mun if they aren't entirely ready to roleplay that sort of thing. any poking or prodding at arun will be met with nonchalance and perhaps some light confusion.
✦．O7「 shipping. 」
good luck they are not easy to romance and that is intentional. they are a being that doesn't see themselves as truly corporeal in the sense that they may enjoy emotions so freely. erp is easier but there must be an established connection and story to go with it.

⸙ WHISPERS
wildling.「 common 」
arundhati has been living in the shroud for years upon years at this point, to the point where they have assimilated fully into the culture of it. as such, they consider themselves to be a wildling, perhaps something beyond it. those of the black shroud know of a hedge witch that hears. listens to the trees. a hedge witch that finds the lost, whether it be by chance or purposeful. gridanians only know them as something incomprehensible, an entity beyond what is seen.
herbalist, guide.「 common. 」
they are willing to provide a numerous amount of services for those in need of healing, guidance or more esoteric magics. the catch, however, comes in the form of some type of sacrifice needed. something that will match the service done, whether it be blood, a dream, a nightmare, a memory, a trinket, a soul. it matters not. they will take it, provided it is equal to what they give.
◎ wandering.「 uncommon 」
before the shroud, arundhati spent their time in thavnair practicing and intaking what spiritualism that they were permitted to. they fell wholly into the practices, found joy in them, found purpose and meaning. they danced and sung, a name reclaimed in thavnair. another assimilation led to circumstances that required arundhati to travel to eorzea, listless. aimless.
◎ maternity「 rare. 」
arundhati is a parent of many. out of duty, obligation. there are things, events that they rarely wish to recall. there are things that they would rather leave in the past, even if the past comes chasing back for them. they have complicated feelings on parenthood. if one is from golmore, they may recognize arundhati, but they will know a different name. /tell for more.
◎ covenless「 rare. 」
a wildling would know that arundhati has always been alone, no matter what. they wander without direction, finding the lost. those from golmore may know that there were rumours of an off-shoot clan that practiced magic more than mere conjury. there rumours that every single one of them had been pillaged and killed for defying nature as it's supposed to be.
