*foreword.

i don’t follow everyone back, but I’m generally open to it as long as i see some writing on your blog. fair warning though that i do like chatter, so expect a mix of yapping and writing around here. if you’re looking for a strictly writing-only space, this might not be the blog for you.i am over thirty years old, and moreover due to some dark subject matter that might be present in my writing, this is blog is a space intended only for other adults.

*content.

coquelic is a bitch with a tendency to be rather disagreeable and flippant. she is not the type to develop a soft spot for a kind and sweet character by virtue of their goodness and kindness and i ask that you do not approach writing with me with the intention of such a muse becoming 'the exception'. coquelic's personality kind of stinks, but i promise how she treats your muse is not a reflection of my opinion of them or of you as their writer.themes present may include hedonism, abuse, philosophies of justice, narrated gore, and canon-typical violence. i'll reiterate again that coquelic can be abusive at worst and lukewarm at best. please follow (or don't) per your own discretion and comfort.i try to write something substantial every week, but ultimately i'm doing things as i feel like it! i like threads much more than one-shot asks, so if my response to your prompt happens to scratch your brain, i encourage and would be delighted for you to continue it in a thread. i'll of course do the same from time to time.

*etiquette.

i expect and extend all standard etiquette in regards to godmodding, theft, etc. i don't care about reblog karma; reblog whatever memes or quotes you want, just don't interact with in-character content you're not part of.i’m open to shipping, in theory, but it's not really on my list of priorities and will never be my motivation in approaching someone for writing. keep in mind that coquelic has a capacity for affection, but doesn’t really have a personality that lends itself to kissing and other 'fluffiness'. i also don't really like to ship 'cold-handed', and prefer that our muses have already interacted and have established some chemistry. i portray coquelic as sapphic-bi. while she can develop affection for men, her preferences are split like 70/30 in favor of women.i don't do discourse. i am here to write characters i like with people i like. i'm not a 'taboo writer' and won't write with those who are, but i find most pervasive fandom discourse to be reductive. if someone seems to swing the metaphorical bat at every turn, i likely won't follow.i'm aware that there are extenuating circumstances at times that warrant a callout, but if it's something that could have been resolved with healthy conflict resolution skills, i prefer to mind my own business — trust me when i say you’ll have a happier, healthier time if you mind your own.

*art usage.

i don't use unauthorized fanart in my blog assets and generally regard doing so to be art theft. all imagery of coquelic's likeness will be officially sourced, commercial, or by artists who explicitly permit the use of their work. check my credits tab for specifics!

*MBCC-S-053.

coquelic is the hedonistic leader of an assassin sect called ‘the garden’. to those both in and out of the organization, she is most commonly known as and referred to as 'the mentor'.she is a sinner, an individual heavily contaminated with mania yet has not gone berserk from the resulting deterioration. this mania contamination grants her tremendous power and freezes her body in time, but the nature of that power saps away at her vitality. as a result, her constitution is surprisingly poor ⸻ she conceals her weakness flawlessly, however, and is able to display remarkable vigor and efficacy and leaving all none the wiser. she is the strongest sinner in the garden.

as the garden's mentor, she is in the business of taking those slighted in life under her wing and teaching to exact their vengeance. she herself is responsible for the deaths of multiple high-brow civilians and authorities.she seems to have an insisting need to be pampered, requesting assistance with simple tasks such as running her bathwater and fetching her jacket. there's a likelihood that doing these things is surprisingly taxing for her, though it’s hard to ascertain if that is truly the case or if she simply enjoys the treatment - the truth seemingly shifts with her whims.her personality can be described as somewhat flippant, coy, bitter and jaded. she shows little interest in matters beyond her immediate concerns, maintaining a laissez-faire attitude even towards the personal matters of those close to her. although she flourishes her speech with a faux-whimsy tone, coquelic has a blunt disposition and is quick to rebuke idealists and dreamers.coquelic is a respected but harsh teacher, capricious yet somehow consistent. punishment to the degree of solitary confinement ‘until she cools down’ is not unheard of from her. however, it's widely understood amongst the garden that coquelic will forgive most transgressions. despite her heavy handed sense of discipline, other garden members describe her as having ‘infinite patience’ in all matters except betrayal. she views the garden as her own flowers, and fancies herself their caretaker. her harsh demeanor conceals an earnest intention to nurture them into blooms that can withstand and cut through hardship.coquelic is contrived of multitudes and contradictions, and often makes conflicting statements. ⸻ 'your lives are your own. don’t listen to anyone but me.’ ⸻ similarly, she holds the simultaneous and discrepant sentiments that she loves only herself, lives and dies only for herself; and yet it is her garden that is her pride and joy.much of her personal history, including her age, is unknown. all that can be surmised is that she was an adult when she took the then-child sumire under her care. it is known that her parents were members of the FAC, and coquelic's activity as an assassin did not begin until they were killed in the line of duty when she was young. there is a significant likelihood that 'coquelic' is not her birth-name.
