Now I can’t unsee Chindolyn sniffing other characters in all of her supports. “Ah, the sweet smell of training sweat. And… never mind, I shan’t say it aloud, but don’t expect me to assist in your laundry anymore.”

i’m as late as they come, and gotta apologize for that! :sweat:

(note: it turns out that one of my picks, number 19, was accidentally being worked on by someone else in this thread already. i chose to only add the other two characters i got, due to the work and thoughts that have gone into creating number 19’s entry. it’s fun to see what became of it! i was positively entertained while reading it and believe that my drafted concept wouldn’t offer the same kind of justice. kudos to you! :triumph: :smile: )
