"You a fascinating critter bro."
Personality
Pre-Scrybe
Pretty chill and laid back most of the time with a snark to it. Marigold didn't talk to enough people to be mean to them though. They're really good with people, but as stated they don't talk to many people. Silent kind of anxious. Internally spirals without showing it and then randomly explodes.
Post-Scrybe
More of a Cocky kind of laid-back now. Confident to an annoying level and always acts like they're up to some mischief when you're not looking. Still freezes up at decisions but that's why they don't think and just wing it. Still anxious, but chronically ignores it. Charisma stat has gone up by like 10, -plus they actually talk to people now- they somehow always find a way to worm a story out of you.
Their posture is all over the place, using expressive body language to give a larger than life impression. They constantly drape themself over chairs, surfaces, anything available, and is carefully touchy with people. Everything they do is designed to get a little under your skin.
Typically they'll have a cigarette somewhere on their body, twirling around their fingers or hanging limply out of their mouth. It only adds to their purposely aggravating demeanor.
Appearance
Marigold is a short-statured elemental imp, with layered hair pulled into a loose ponytail with the exception of the bangs hiding their right eye. Covering the top half of their face like a shadow is a dark void patterning, purple-ish when you look closer in good lighting. Their remaining eye is a bright orange with yellow sclera, bright blue eyelashes like the tips of fire framing it.
Their expression is almost always smug, half-lidded eyes matching their shit-eating grin.
A blocky poncho covers their frame, patterned with a red to orange to yellow fire pattern matching their hair.
Legs
Relationships
After ascending to Scrybehood, they lack many concrete memories of her. Its uncomfortable, because Marigold can tell she was important and meant a lot to them... but they just can't remember why.
Backstory
As context, this is an inscryption au using the worldbuilding but not the characters.
Marigold (pre-scrybe) takes on a Kaycee type role and becomes friends with the Scrybe of beasts in this world. They lose their eye but end up surviving and becoming good pals, learning more and more about scrybe stuff out of osmosis. Scrybes are seen more as passing cryptids or mythological creatures in this world, because theres so little of them, but everyone knows they for sure exist.
'Scrybeship' is passed on from person to person, but you can hold onto scrybeship for however long you want and be functionally immortal. Way long ago a 'Scrybe of stories' did exist, but hasnt been around in so long its considered a tale to tell people to stop oversharing.
Marigold finds out when exploring around one day that was not a hoax, because they find an item that transfers the scrybeship to Marigold. The reason there had been no Scrybes of Stories between then and now is because it was contained in something.
Marigold doesn't come back for years and Scrybe of Beasts assumes mortal lifespans and that they're dead. They're not dead.
Becoming a scrybe twisted their personality for a good amount of time into something else, and their memories got all muddled. So they just wandered around figuring out how to enscrybe people. Scrybe of beasts finds this out when a basically completely different person appears on their doorstep, rambling something about friendship and memories.

Trivia
They smoke cigarettes because everytime they tried cigars, they gnawed them into shreds. That still happens with cigarettes but its easier to brush off lmao
Etiam non quam lacus suspendisse faucibus interdum posuere. Nulla facilisi morbi tempus iaculis urna id volutpat lacus laoreet. Tortor pretium viverra suspendisse potenti nullam ac.
Nullam ac tortor vitae purus faucibus ornare suspendisse sed nisi.
Risus viverra adipiscing at in. Erat velit scelerisque in dictum non consectetur.
Their handwriting is a fluid, haphazard mix of script and cursive. They write fast- but lose legibility the faster they write. Still, it does not encourage them to take their time.
