Personality.

Insightful + Steady + Eloquent + Dedicated

ย  ย  ย  Much like the detectives of the mystery novels they are so fond of, Lorelai is an extremely insightful individual, always taking their circumstances into account with an inflection most deep and thoughtful. Their words are thusly measured and calculative, nothing ever wasted when extracted from their lips. To Lorelai, the idea of extraneous conversation is an improbability: everything said with meaning, and meaning beneath everything said. As such, their demeanour is often pegged as eloquent and articulate by those around them; to others, perhaps this steadfastness may instead be seen as stuffiness. Whatever thoughts their peers have matters not: everyone is deserving of an opinion, and their role is not that of a judge.

ย  ย  ย  Due to their mature disposition, Lorelai can also be seen as dependable and dedicated. They take every job assigned to them very seriouslyโ€”perhaps comically so at timesโ€”and perform every duty with utmost care and precision. Depending on what profession they take up, the root of this drive comes from a genuine love of it, even if their demeanour belies little of that affection.

Quiet / Private / Ambitious / Strict

ย  ย  ย  Lorelai is unfortunately quite lacking when it comes to serving as a conversational partner. Their priviness to privacy is a double-edged sword: so true are they to preserve an air of mystery (and, more importantly, secrets) that those around them perceive them often to be cold. This perception of attitude is exacerbated by how stern Lorelai is. Their perfectionism knows no bounds beyond social hierarchy. The annoying thing about Lorelai isn't that they'll nitpick when a job isn't done right; it's that they'll point out your errors and then proceed to somehow perform said task to the standard of perfection they'd outlined for you. Some people would say that this trait is admirable. Most, however, would just call it "an annoying pain in the ass" [sic].

Vague - Heedless - Critical - Cautious

ย  ย  ย  Not many people could give you much of an answer as to who Lorelai is, as they make it difficult to pin their character at first glance. Any questions about their origins are met with vague answers at best, and a turning of the cheek at worst. As stated before, their perfectionistic tendencies leave much room to be desired in terms of an actual person standing in their shadow. Regardless of this, it could be said that their overly-critical attitude drives more people away than brings them in. Additionally, their cautiousness makes it difficult for many people to truly connect to them. To those who haven't known them for a long time, it's almost as if they're an archetype made to fill a role instead of a living, breathing human โ€ฆ

ย  ย  ย  And yet, hilariously enough, those who are familiar with Lorelai are met with the inverse of this issue. Once you push past that hardy exterior of theirs, you come face to face with someone who is quite possibly the most reckless individual you'll ever meet. It's not that they do things without foresightโ€”it's just that they don't seem to care about the consequences of power-walking into the off-limits section of an off-limits forestline simply to satiate their curiosity. Or scaling the side of a building to say hi to a stray cat. Or learning to operate a boat solely so they could accomplish a benign task. Orโ€” Well, you get the idea.

Trivia.


  • Lorelai's motifs are primarily based on the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland!
  • Prefers orange juice with pulp like a serial killer.
  • They separate their whites and darks when doing laundry like some sort of person who actually has their life put together in any feasible way.
  • They wouldn't deny anyone of their own beliefs, but they personally don't believe in magic and will go out of their way to prove it's not real.

History.

Lorelai's origins vary from verse to verse, but the following remain constants:

  • Their birth name is Zhลng-Lรญng; they were born to a powerful family in China with great financial and political clout.
  • Their family is horribly abusive. In particular is their mother, who exerts constant pressure on Zhลng-Lรญng, forcing them to study to become the next family head.
  • During a trip overseas, Zhลng-Lรญng is separated from their family and enters a state of dissociative fugue. When they come to, they decide to maintain the lie in a bid to escape their family.
  • Zhลng-Lรญng dies, and their family is never able to locate the body. Lorelai Versailles is born thereafter.

Other than that, their origin always remains a mystery, and is almost never revealed. They often become a private sleuth in some way, or are otherwise associated with detective imagery. In some verses, they are a butler. Very rare verses will see to it that they never got separated from their family and ran away from home at all.

Often accompanies Lorelai in the various stories they are part of. The two of them have a bit of a toxic relationship, often affiliated through convenience; there is no one else in the world they could possibly rely on but one another, and yet their mutual co-existence is detrimental to themselves as people.
