・┆✦ʚ Venus Entry ɞ✦ ┆・ TABLE OF CONTENTS: ♡ 1. intro ♡ 2. entry details ♡ 3. mini-novel entry ♡ 4. QnA ♡ 5. outro ♡ 6. Credits + Extra 1. INTRO: Hellooooo!! this is my entry to @Koifiish-'s WTA for lovely huntress, who I have dubbed Venus!! I have a few different sections to this entry, including this one, character details, a QnA, and the full blown writing itself!! I've chosen to take a different approach to this rather than the trad WTA style, I hope you don't mind pidge!! 2. ENTRY DETAILS: Introducing you to Venus! a greyromantic pansexual who refers to herself with she/her pronouns! She lives in a forest that is continuously in autumn, along with her Queer-Platonic partner Jayne the Cheetah! my whole idea for her is that she is a traditional cupid style character, where her job is to help others find their matches in the real world without her needing to do any physical intervention! Where her story kind of steers away from this trope is that she isn't the typical lovesick cupid who is tired of helping others find love. She's quite content with her life and is happy to help others from the shadows! (To clarify, her and Jayne are NOT romantic partners!) She enjoys homemade pastries, physical touch from her close friends, and making crafts to gift to others! 3. MINI-NOVEL ENTRY ・┆✦ʚ Venus ɞ✦ ┆・ ♡ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ I’ve rejected affection… For years, and years. ♡ A cold wind blew through the reds, oranges, and pinks of leaves spread throughout the twists and turns of tree branches. Flurries of warm color were spinning around on the forest floor along with those tightly hanging on and swaying gently in the treetops with a quiet hum. The colder the air got the darker the sky got. A blanket of purple covered the dry woodland grasses as golden rays of the fading sunlight tickled the edges of the flora. When the sky finally allowed the sun to rest and the moon took its place fireflies decided tonight was as good as any other to dance underneath the stars, a mental note added by Venus. She slowly walked through the near freezing forest, eyes looking forward as she picked up her pace in order to warm herself up. Through the bushes, fireflies, and moonlit leaves that now stilled under a less violent breeze, Venus finally saw the sight she was looking for. Ahead lay a cozy cottage radiating a light that instantly warmed the air around it, lamps and illuminated crystals sprinkled generously throughout the plot of land. With a hum, Venus quietly invited herself in, a fireplace’s warmth coaxing her further and further into the wooden cottage. The boards quietly creaked under the weight of her paws and Venus made her way into the living room. The fireplace crackled as she finally, finally, let out a sigh. She then breathed in the most air she had that day, the deep breath rejuvenating her just enough to remember to brush the crinkled leaves in her fur out. After she meticulously combed through her long scarlet and cream colored fur Venus was committed to cozy up by the fire and rest. She hadn’t even considered bothering to groom her wings tonight as she hurriedly rushed back to the cozy red velvet couch that practically called her name. With eyes quickly threatening to close at any moment, she wrapped a fuzzy white blanket tightly around her body before finally taking off all of her accessories with a huff. Comfy, She sighed. It was comfy. BANG. The door to Venus’ home was quickly slammed open, a figure quickly rushing into the cottage without a care in the world. Several picture frames fell face flat from the impact as Venus face palmed. “Venus!” An excited voice called. “Are you here?” ♡ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Now I have it, and darn it, it’s kind of weird. ♡ A pause passed before a slow, “yes,” was mumbled from the living room Jayne, a bright purple cheetah, rushed into the room without a care in the world. “Hi! Oh my gosh–” they covered their mouth before lowering their voice significantly. “I didn’t know you’d be asleep this early,” A guilty look washed over Jayne's face. ♡ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ I still feel a shock, in every bone, ♡ A slow smile crept up onto Venus' face. “I hadn’t gone to sleep just yet. What’s up?” Jayne, tiptoeing to Venus with a still guilty face carefully found their way to the couch, inviting themself underneath the fuzzy white blanket. “Well, I wanted to tell you all about this thing that you know who said…” ♡ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ When I hear an “I love you” Cus now I’ve got someone to loose. ♡ 4. QnA Reporter: Hello, Venus! I'd like to ask you a few questions, if that's alright? Venus: Of course. Go right ahead, I'm ready! Q. What's your favorite sweet? A. I really quite like anything with gluten, and anything homemade. I suppose if I had to choose I would say strawberry-lemon poppy seed muffins, but that might be too specific, [a pause] I guess I do love some plain old peanut butter cookies though. (Cont)
QNA CONTINUED: Q. If you were to take three things to a deserted island, what would you take? A. Well, a water filter for water, some matches, and a comfy blanket. Reporter: A comfy blanket? Venus: Yeah! I already know my way around plenty of tropical plants, so food would be taken care of. I think what would keep me most motivated would be a nice warm blanket to come back to at the end of the day. Reporter: [Laughs] Okay folks, feel free to comment in the live chat any other questions you have for Venus to answer directly!
