she looks so sweet fff and i love her colors! they bring a nice "pop" to the monotone maid class outfit without overpowering it! the expression portraits are very well done too, it definitely gives a good idea of her personality! but ff poor girl, the Ice Tribe is hella cool no pun intended but i can understand why she'd grow to dislike it, especially with her dad smothering her. hopefully she's able to grow more once she gets to Windmire and is able to live her own life (even though it's kinda trading one form of imprisonment for another with working for Garon lol). was it kinda like a village-wide decision to have her take a job as a maid (so she could spy on the goings-on) or was it more like "hey i'm doing this thing and also i can probably spy maybe if it'll convince you to let me go there"; either or, her dad must not have been very happy fff. and i know you said she didn't really interact much with Flora and Felicia, but does she ever learn of their status at the Northern Fortress and their hostage status? sorry for the questions, there's just so few FE OC's around so i get really hyped when i see new ones haha

but aw yiss Leo's an excellent choice, and Forrest's a pretty good son. since she's a maid, she'll definitely suit him well with passing on beneficial growths. plus i can just imagine her interactions with him are adorable (totally picturing them cozying up by a fire or something with her telling him a story while they mend clothes together haha). but i can't wait to see her interaction with her own kid too though, i'm sure he'll be an awesome brother for Forrest!

Well thank you! I just thought that a dark color wouldn't work well with the maid uniform's color scheme, so I'm glad it looks nice with it! 
Haha, well, from what I'm developed so far, it was Kilma's decision to send her to Nohr to act as a maid while spying, hopefully catching some news of Flora and Felicia's whereabouts in the meantime. Her dad was, unsurprisingly, very angry and refused to let her go even if it wasn't his decision. He thought that she was pretty much being offered up as another hostage, no matter what Kilma said. She knew it was not going to be full freedom by any stretch of the imagination, anything was better than never being able to step foot outside the village her entire life. She loves her dad and all, but had begun to resent him as a result of his smothering. 

Willow does eventually learn about Flora and Felicia's status at the Northern Fortress, though she knew that they were hostages all along. Sending a message that they were both alive and seemed in good heath was the only time she ever contacted the Ice Tribe since leaving. She actually really enjoyed her job as a maid, even if it was often grueling, thankless work, so she never wanted to send back any sort of information that could be useful in a rebellion. Willow had pretty much accepted that she'd be labeled a traitor in the village because of this. 

Oh gosh, my whole life is sitting and thinking about adorable interactions between characters. Willow would be on board for whatever tailoring project Forrest could think up (and oh god that scenario is adorable), and Rowan would think his older brother is the coolest person ever, no matter what he or anyone else said. 

Don't worry about the questions! It was a lot of fun to answer them, and thank you so much for asking! I really appreciate it~ <3

fff i like that reasoning though, that's something i could see Kilma doing to check on his little girls. did she suffer any harm when she initially arrived at Castle Krakenburg? like because of people's suspicions of her, did she get discriminated against because she's from that "rebellious Ice Tribe?" if she did i hope she informed them that kind of behavior wouldn't be tolerated (maybe made an up-close-and-personal display of her dagger skills to show her "worth" as a soldier/maid of Nohr lol). if she joins before chapter 8, does she get to reunite with her dad at all and give him some closure? like an "i'm fine see i can live on my own and i'm happy so please be happy for me" kind of thing. i'm glad she still does care for him though despite his helicopter parenting!

ah i'm glad she does that! like at least as some vestige of her former loyalty to them, though i love her newfound dedication to Nohr! i'm sure she risked a lot even sending that message to them but i do like that she -actually- likes Nohr and wants to support it however she can, since that's a SUPER rare attitude in the game, especially in Conquest.

omg yess i feel ya haha. she'd just seem like a really chill mom for him to have, since a lot of his other options can be kinda high strung (though none are as awful as Leo is to him so there's that bonus at least). plus being a maid she won't totally kill his magic growth, and he'd get some fairly good growths for skill and speed! and omg that's adorable! Forrest would be an amazing big brother, that's so sweet Rowan idolizes him like that!

ah good i'm glad haha. i tend to go overboard a lot of times since i love learning about others' characters so i'm glad i'm not pestering ya!

There was some obvious resentment towards her when she first arrived, and none of the other servants trusted her too much. She never gave them a reason to, so some of the prejudice waned a bit over time. When the Ice Tribe actually rebelled, though, things got pretty nasty again. More people within the castle were aware that she was entirely loyal to Nohr, or at least a certain number of people within it. I’d imagine they’d be the ones to mention that “perhaps it’s not the best idea to taunt her” because of those dagger skills. She’s fairly mild mannered, so people insulting her wouldn’t get much of a reaction. I’d imagine Willow would join the party IN chapter 8 along with Odin and Niles as a guide to the village for them. She’d be very apprehensive about going back since she had cut off all contact. Her dad would initially have been part of the fighting force as a mage, but would stand down the second she got there. As much as he dislikes Nohrians, he can’t fight his little girl. After the battle is when they’d finally talk and she’d attempt to reason with him. Her father loves her more than anything, so her happiness is his first priority. He, of course, asks that she at least try to write to him every once in a while now that the Tribe was no longer rebelling.  

She had always liked the twins, so Willow would have felt somewhat guilty for not sending some word back that they were healthy. There was a huge amount of risk in it, but that was just another reason why she never did it again. The risk was worth it that time, though, at the very least. Her loyalty isn’t necessarily to Nohr itself, though. Growing up, she had heard how awful Nohrians were, only to learn that they were just like everyone else. There were certainly people within the kingdom that deserved the ire directed at the whole country, but most people were simply trying to get by. The royal siblings were also surprisingly kind to her despite her heritage and position in the castle, so she’s loyal to them. Willow knows and acknowledges Nohr’s problems, but she thinks the country can become a great place should the right people be making the decisions.

She very much is a super chill and supportive mother! She’d also enjoy learning a thing or two about sewing tricks he had picked up, too. (I’d imagine Willow would give Leo the cold shoulder HAH for a bit after that first encounter, but he does seem to realize he said something awful and is apologetic about it.) As I imagine Rowan so far, he’s a bit more energetic without much of a filter, so whatever’s on his mind, he just says. So there’d be lots of comments like “Forrest, did you know you’re really pretty? You look just like Mom! I’m so jealous!”

Ah certainly not! There are days when I’m practically begging for people to ask me questions about my characters, so this is really nice! Sorry if I sort of ramble with these responses, though.
