I seriously wanted to roleplay for so long but never brought myself to and could never commit well enough. But. Hear me out:
This is kind of a fantasy type idea. Kind of old fashioned with magic, fictional species and the like.
My character is a maid who has been sold over and over again. The first was when her parents sold her in desperation and she hasn’t seen since. She doesn’t remember much and is as much a mystery to herself as another and wants to know what happened to her parents etc. (Her info etc. https://pin.it/a6vkhnvqae4l4i
Sorry for my messy sketches and handwriting)
Whoever decides to join would be the other character, most likely a guest who has heard about the maid and come in interest. They would be curious as to who she is, what she is, and where she came from etc. And would mainly lead this part.
This would be mainly for her development and entertainment, so it doesn’t need to be perfect. I don’t have a template, mainly because depending on the other characters species, the sections would change.
If there’s anything you can’t read or would like to know about my character, please ask away.

Hi! So I have a couple of things to say that are totally unrelated to the rp. First of all, I LOVE your user, and two, you are really good at drawing!

Also, here are the things that I want to say that are rp-related. May I?

(Sadly izzy beat me to this, (darn it!) But I agree, you are amazing at drawing, I love the way you have your character set up!! I shall stalk)

@Meow

Thank you so much! Go ahead and ask. Feel free to stalk as well. I have to leave for school soon, but please ask away. Also, sorry for taking so long to respond.

No, none that I can think of right now. But I have to go now, but I'll be back in a bit~ (40-50 min)

@Meow

If you would like more time for your character please let me know and you can post them when you’re done, I’ll try to get a starter done in the mean time.

@saor_illust school

Wait so do you want me to put up a template to put my character in, or can I just "jump in blind," as some of us rpers would call it (not using a template for characters)

@Meow

Whatever you feel more comfortable with, I would prefer if I had a brief description of the character though, but if you would like to just start that’s totally fine.

Okii! Imma just make a smol template so I can organize the info

Name: Isabelle Stevens
How Old She Appears: 20-ish

Other: has a cat named emerald for her eyes

@Meow

Thank you! Just as a heads up, I have reallyyyyy bad wifi connection right now, so in case I suddenly disappear, you know why. Would you like me to post the starter now?

@saor_illust school

Alright, that's totally fine, and also you're welcome! And you can post the starter whenever you're ready.

(Sorry I took so long!!)
“Maid, put flowers in all the vases and re-dust everything, we have company joining us soon. Change into your other attire as well.” His voice echoed in the dry, empty hall.
“Yes, my lord.” Amara hung her head low, curtsied and left. She grabbed her basket for flowers and her duster. Dusting random items as she headed outdoors to pick flowers. Whenever there were guests coming over, she was always told to choose simple arrangements unless told otherwise. If she had to dust, the arrangements had to be medium, simple but beautiful. Her orders were an incredibly complex system, one she had payed dearly for to remember.

(It's fine!)
Isabelle's shoes made a oddly pleasing click-clacking noise against the boarding platform in the train station, as she walked over to the exit. A friend had told her about a maid nearby, and she decided to check it out. Besides, if she wasn't interested, nothing too bad would come of it. When she reached the house, she was in awe at how big it was, but continued on the stone path leading up to the house. When she reached the door, Isabelle raised a fist to knock lightly on the door three times.

@Meow

Amara quickly fixed the last flower in place and rushed to the door as quick as she could, without making a ruckus. Grasping the door handle tightly at first, she opened it wondering who stood behind its frame.
“Good morning, miss. Welcome to the Uzuizashi household. Please come inside.” She curtsied and opened the door the rest of the way, fixing a bow on her apron as she did.

Isabelle only gave Amara a small nod as she stepped inside the house. Her footsteps seemed to echo around the hallway. "Thank you," she offered, but not looking at Amara as she continued down the hallway.

@Meow

Shutting the door, she followed her. Careful to be 2 steps away from her and 2 from the wall, following the imaginary line she saw on the floor.
What was she here for? All she could deduct from this person was that they were blonde and female, not that she was good at that stuff anyway. She’s most likely a business partner, something quick, maybe land or… perhaps to- never mind. Don’t think that Amara.

"Is there anyone I can talk to?" Isabelle inquired, finally glancing at Amara. Her pace slowed from a brisk walk to a slow walking pace. She tucked a strand of hair behind her shoulder, smoothing out a wrinkle she saw with a hand in her yellow flower-patterned dress.

@Meow

She took half a step closer to her right.
“Master Nethan is here,” she pointed to the closed door next to her.
Her hands shook as she opened the door, she bit her inner cheek, Stop shaking!!
She held the door open with her foot while she curtsied. Keeping her head down she said, “My lord, your guest is here.”

Isabelle nodded gratefully, knocking thrice on the open door. "May I enter, Master Nethan?" She asked, bowing in respect.

@Meow

Nethan blew a strand of hair from his eye. “Of course, of course,” he waved his hand, signalling she could come sit down. “Maid, go make some tea.”
Without looking up, Amara stood up properly. Before closing the door, she left with a “Yes, my lord.”

@saor_illust school

Isabelle took the cue and sat down in the empty seat. She stole a glance at Amara, making sure she was out of what she thought was her hearing range before beginning to speak. Turning her attention back to Nethan, she spoke, "I have traveled here, inquiring about a maid?"

@Meow

“Which one might I ask? There are many maids here. Perhaps you inquire of the one you just met,” he tapped his fingers. “Quite a mystery that one. They all fetch for a steep price, did you come to buy from me?”
~~~~~~~
Amara clinked the teacups lightly as she set them down on a tray. The tea she made always was so inviting and warm, but she could never touch it. Much like her flower arrangements, the tea sets mattered too. After finishing steeping the tea, she poured it into the cups, the final drop fell with a satisfying sound. How she wished she could finally taste the oh so inviting drink.

@saor_illust school

Isabelle crossed her legs, saying, "Yes, indeed. What is your proposed price?" But even as she spoke the words, she found her mind wandering to his words, Quite a mystery, that one. A mystery?

@Meow

“Most of the maids are around $40,000-$90,000, depending on where they work, their experience, their work time, and occasionally other factors. Her price is rather high though,” he pointed his finger at Amara as she approached with the tea. “She could be bought as low as $400,000, due to the facts that her species is undetermined, her work, experience, and her obedience to do anything and a few other things.”
~~~~~~~
Amara bit down on her tongue once she heard the last part, out of both fear and excitement. She placed the tray down next to the pair, then placed their tea in front of them. She then headed back to the door, ready to continue the days work.

"Species? She is… not native to this world?" Isabelle inquired. "How strange," she muttered under her breath. She'd never met a… how should she put it nicely… an alien before.

@Meow

“Never the less, her work is excelling. I will not just merely except money for her, perhaps you have predicted this?” Nethan picked up his cup of tea, swishing it around.
