Description Hey, been while but I made a new redesign/rewrite. This time our little dwarf blacksmith with a big heart, Parsley, who I’m renaming to Rye🌾⚒️


Description:
“ Rye hasn’t had an easy life. Lost her family, home and even her arm all to a terrible attack from one of the Triumvirate’s biggest forces. She learned from a young age that life can be crap and you need to be the one to shape it into what you want, and she wants REVENGE! As small as she may be, if you work harder to be smarter, you can destroy any obstacles no matter how big they can be. Dedicating herself to hone her craft, making weapons and other defences for the battlefield, she after so long, finally gets a chance herself to fight in it as a Guardian, at HGA(High Guardian Academy). Now with the best chance she has, will she finally get what she wants? And is it really what she needs?”   


Character:
    Rye, like Parsley is still a nice and mature person but with bigger differences. After loosing her family, she grew up pretty fast and put alot of herself in her work. She never goes without a day, making something, wether that be a new weapon or finishing a workout routine. She believes everything can be a potential opportunity. Perhaps too much as she can be a bit of a workaholic and have trouble just relaxing. She’s also a bit of a “boisterous bruiser” type, happy to volunteer for the front fields. She’s the team’s powerhouse.       


     Despite loosing so much, it taught her there was always hope, or atleast something she could do to change things. With that said, despite her sunny personality, she also doesn’t like to talk about her past and personal business. The last time she vented to someone about her problems and what she wanted to do to the Triumvirate, they jumped out a window. She prefers to keep some things to herself, not wanting people to get the wrong idea about her. It’s her quest and so her burden to bear herself.

    She REALLY hates the Triumvirate for what happened. Like, wants to put all their heads on a spear and cook it like a kebab and feed to a grog, kinda hate. I want to deconstruct the whole “tragic backstory-revenge quest”. Her quest to avenge her family and destroy the Triumvirate hasn’t had the greatest toll on her mental health, willing to put herself in dangerous situations and go to extreme lengths for her goal, unafraid of the costs. This has also caused her to isolate herself from people, focused the most on her goal. A part of her’s worried that if she lets people back in, she’ll lose them too. For her arc she’ll come to see just how far she’ll go to “win” and if it’s really worth it.       


     Like Rose, she doesn’t like to show her more vulnerable side to people and prefers to keep distance. Nonetheless she’s very friendly and a team-player, able to make friends with almost anyone, even not as friendly people like Thyme. She’s also very frugal and business oriented. Going on a life long quest for vengeance isn’t cheap. She likes to sell the weapons and other defences she makes for extra dough aswell as provide repairs. I also made her a bit of a mechanic too in this version, able to make pretty advanced weaponry and other machines. Recently she’s been learning artificing (infusing magic into objects, especially her weaponry).

Redesign:

* I made a lot of changes for Parsley’s redesign. Specifically her arm. I wanted to add more disability diversity and thought it’d be a cool idea to give her, a blacksmith, a metal, mech-arm prosthetic. Since in this version she’s also a bit of a mechanic, she built the arm herself🧑‍🏭 It’s Parsley’s weapon in the canon. Can turn into a normal hand when desired🦾🛠

* I wanted to push the blacksmith look in more. One of Parsley’s design complaints is how much skin she shows, despite being a blacksmith and realistically would burn herself bad. Put her into a jumpsuit, along with a blacksmith cloth to keep her well protected as well as give her normal gloves. I also had her keep tools on her, always ready⚒️🛠

* She’s in the Warrior track so I made her look more combat ready with the shoulder pads, metal shoe plating as well as chest plating on her blacksmith cloth🧑‍🏭⚔️🛡

* Kept her body type relatively the same, but made her look stronger, have muscle, being a warrior and the team’s powerhouse💪

* Gave her more square, polygon motifs to show she’s not too sharp(personality wise) but still hardened and tough, as well as her being involved with metalwork. Made her chin, more squared as well as other parts of her design🟨

*  Kept her color scheme mostly the same but added more yellows and grays to help her design pop out more and represent her main color💛

* Gave her heterochromia, one eye brown, the other green. Wanted her eyes to be more earth related, and show her being close to another green themed character(Thyme)💚

* Gave her a wheat motif, specifically rye. I think she’s suppose to be German as dwarves come from German origin and judging by her and her mom’s fashion🇩🇪 Wheat, specifically rye has strong significance in German culture and a lot of the time, tools and machines are used like a mortar or combine to gather and make it into flour, fitting Rye using tools as well as her yellow colors. I added the wheat idea with her hair, yellows and wheat designs around her body and mech arm🌾

* Put her hair up in a small bun to keep her hair out of her work. Designed her hair to look straw-like, strands. I also saw a lot of Dwarf characters have their hair up in buns, ponytails and braids👱‍♀️👩‍🦱

* Gave her goggles to protect her eyes when forging as well as to keep any more hair out of her work🥽

* Lines under her eyes to show, her pushing herself. Not always taking care of herself like getting enough sleep.  


* A lot of cuts, stitches and marks, being a blacksmith she isn’t afraid to get some marks. Accidents happen. Also to show her putting herself through a lot of rough stuff as well as show her not being able to afford too much, needing to work with what she got.

Fun Facts:
* Headcanon VA’s- Barbara Dunkleman(voice of Yang from RWBY), Hailee Steinfeld(Voices Vi in Arcane), Ashly Burch(voice of Sasha from Attack on Titan), Sumalee Montano(voice of Arcee from Transformers Prime), Wendee Lee(Voiced Kiva in Megas XLR.

* Parsley’s original arc about wanting to make something of herself isn’t bad. Though since I was changing so much of Parsley’s character I changed the backstory too. Went for a “revenge quest” for another DND deconstruction as well as give Rye a bigger arc compared to her old one.

* Strengths-High in strength and dexterity. Also great in blacksmithing and mechanics. Also good with people, especially introverts like Thyme, and professional(except if it’s the Triumvirate).  


* Weaknesses-Low in speed and agility, tends to push herself too hard, loose her cool(specifically when fighting someone apart of the Triumvirate) and suffers from unresolved trauma.

* Aged her up to 17-18. Out of everyone she’s the oldest among them.   


* definitely forgets to eat or shower sometimes. Sometimes even both.

* Lost her arm, trying to save her sister. 


 * REALLY needs therapy.

* Changed her name to a grain to add more difference in the girls names and because of wheat symbolizing Rye using tools, her yellow colors, and her hardworking nature as progressing grain takes time and work like making weapons and such🌾⚒️  www.nytimes.com/1998/07/15/din…  

* Carries a bag with more tools when necessary. Likes to be prepared like Sage🛠⚒️

* I ship her and Thyme in this💛💚

What do you think of her? I’d love to know💖
