#PlotTober 10

Her aggressive pacifism came about because her island has been almost destroyed twice and a war would wipe it out. She's lost many loved ones already and knows the impact of even a single death.

Extra:
- Bad relationship to mother because of custody disputes in childhood

- Agreed win conditions (to first blood, to surrender, to the death)
- Agreed gear (armor / tools / sidearms)
- Agreed referee (has to be neutral party)

All that shit has to be agreed upon before the duel begins, if it's halfassed the duel won't count for any meaningful purposes

10: Competitive sport

Dueling! It's a pretty big deal in the Empire, because it can be practiced as a sport but also used to settle disputes.

Basic rules:
- Strictly 1v1
- Swords only (type of sword doesn't matter)
- Agreed bounds (leave = lose)

Inclusive, história que talvez eu já tenha contado antes: logo quando eu conheci ela, um belo dia tava no metrô e vi uma menina MUITO parecida com ela e fui falar achando que era ela. Não era. Na época a gente ainda não namorava então como a menina me deu bola eu vim a viagem toda +

#19: Tears of the Maelstrom — Timothy Wolff

The cover of "Tears of the Maelstrom", by Timothy Wolff. The illustration is split in a top half showing a despondent lizard man in armor sitting on a throne, and a lower half showing a castle atop a mountain. The title is at the center, slightly toward the bottom of the cover, in white, followed by the series title (The Legacy of Boulom) and the author's name.

- She's also tenacious, but not in an entirely good way. She simply will NOT give up when she sets her mind to something, even when she thinks it's impossible. She'll go at it until all options are exhausted and even a little beyond.

- She also has a somewhat mean streak, and doesn't forgive/forget easily, which I intend to lead to funny interactions. It also means her relationship with her mom isn't great, which will be a plot point.

- She is terribly optimistic about people, believing everyone is capable of doing good if only they're given the chance, which leads to...

- She's aggressively against violence/murder. Killing even the worst of people to her is a hard nope. That doesn't mean she's naive, though.
