Tare [tair]
Romance, Courtship, Zephyr

❧ Played by Niyx

Appearance: Medium height and light of build, Tare is a very graceful being – though whether one sees hir as a god or a goddess is entirely to their own decisions. Appearing in the late teens to early twenties, xe is highly androgynous with hir basic form a slender youth with short, dark brown hair and dark eyes. Xe wears a light colored, loose sweater with a wide neck which leaves one of hir shoulders bare, and comfortable capri style pants in an light tan. Hir shoes are comfortable sandals with a slight heel, and xe wears woven hemp for bracelets and a necklace with a small, gold charm.

Tare has a tendency to only appear as a breath of wind or movement of air when xe doesn't feel like showing hir face or when xe dislikes someone. Xe will never not appear at all when called though.

Characteristics: Elusive, gentle, capricious, emotional, voyeuristic, polyamorous, easily miffed, passive aggressive, ingenuous.

Likes: Watching people, positive emotional connections and responses, happy endings, fresh scents, freedom of movement.

Dislikes: Prostitution, marriages of convenience, emotionless or cold people, unclean things, stagnant air, entrapments.

Shrine: A wisteria vine grows in the corner of the room with a delicate wind chime suspended within it. A simple metal hoop with four twisted glass bars hanging in the center of it.

Ritual: Blow softly across the chimes to call hir. Xe may or may not appear physically, but if xe is present and listening, the chimes will continue to ring softly as though caught in a gentle breeze.

Blows on the chimes . . .]

[appears before her... stops... grins]

You're blushing.

I-I am not.

[to tease or to find out why she's blushing... both?]

Perhaps it is what brings you today?

[ducks her head ///]

Yes . . . I. I have a few requests, actually.

I'm more than happy to help. What do you need?

[fidget fidget hides in her hood]

Me and mine have decided to . . . get married . . . w-we already were, but - but . . . [GESTURE]

[smiles]

There is ceremony to share the joy.

. . . there is?

Did you not have weddings in your world?

We did, but . . . the only one I know of is the Elven practice.

Tell me about it?

It . . . when one became betrothed to another, they would remain that way for a year. And then when the date came to become married, there was a big dinner with the families of the couple, and they would switch their betrothal rings.

It sounds romantic. Is that what you intend?

We just . . . want a private ceremony . . .

There is romance in that as well.

M-Mmm.

So we would need to . . . ask you for . . . appropriate outfits, and whatnot. And ah, if you would . . . do the honors, I suppose.

I would be honored. You should probably have at least a few to witness the union.

. . . are witnesses important?

It... is traditional.

Is it . . . ?

Can you tell me more?

They are there to mark the occasion and be a representative of the society. Your friends would serve well enough.

[considers that . . .]

Often it would be the parents. Family is important in weddings. Friends of the intended would often times be bridesmaids or groomsmen... or bridesmen or groomsmaids. Their friends who were their to support them and their union.

Groomsmen and bridesmaids . . . ?
