Yikes! Ninian's looking especially alluring today.
I feel like a pile of books just fell over but Nini's so happy to be surrounded by them that she's smiling anyway.
<3 Extremely cute!

Nah, she just makes a mess a lot when researching or drafting. Thank god for maids.

Huh, that's an interesting choice of design for Ninian. Definitely liking it, though - looks cute and is definitely fitting for some reason.

It's how she likes to dress when making plans, researching or otherwise developing things. It's also the sort of style of dress that was common among the upper class in the era she was originally born in.

She does have a ton of them though.

Just be glad they're not 3D glasses or we'd be entering trippy territory.

This is simultaneously cute and stylish! I love her stockings and glasses, and the overall Edwardian look.

Midnight-Tea In reply to ShojiAmasawa [2014-07-08 01:12:56 +0000 UTC]

Good catch! Ninian was turned into a vampire during the late 1800's going into the 1900's and the family is largely British.

(Though vampires in my story have no strict ethnicity -- long story, has to do with no longer being human -- and in real life she'd probably much closer resemble a pale northern Japanese girl thanks to her straight black hair and soft facial features)

ShojiAmasawa In reply to Midnight-Tea [2014-07-08 04:40:19 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I thought it looked Edwardian, but I never expected I was actually right. To be frank, in real life I dress much like Nini does. I love clothes from that era! Unfortunately, It is nigh impossible in hot weather.

Midnight-Tea In reply to ShojiAmasawa [2014-07-08 04:48:56 +0000 UTC]

Yep, the family was most active/visible during the mid-late years of the industrial revolution.

Do people look at you and make cosplayer comments under their breath? Not that their opinion matters.

ShojiAmasawa In reply to Midnight-Tea [2014-07-08 05:02:57 +0000 UTC]

Actually, no! If anyone says anything it is usually very polite, probably because the clothes, while dated, can work in modern times surprisingly well. If it is not an Edwardian or Victorian jacket, I try to wear a suit and tie when I can. I met one of my best friends a few years ago when she said I looked like Light Yagami from Death Note!

I love this backstory you have given Nini! The Industrial Revolution is a fascinating time in history, especially in England, and almost always makes for a good setting.

Midnight-Tea In reply to ShojiAmasawa [2014-07-08 12:32:46 +0000 UTC]

I've some good reasons for picking the Industrial Revolution as a major set piece for the backstory. It's sort of the beginning of an era where the western world was finally beginning to develop a real conscience (in the modern sense of the sentiment), so it fits as the beginning of Lamia Solniu's redemption. She -- a creature that devoured children -- looked around at the abuse of children in workhouses and wanted to defy it by making a nice place for orphans to grow up. Despite still planning on eating some of them.  (Yep, I intend to reference Jonathan Swift somewhere.)  

Having been born in that period it also handily explains Ninian's relative comfort with machines, modern weapons and an evolving technological world. She's even much better at that than I am and that's saying something because vampires are typically portrayed as sticks-in-the-mud when it comes to change.

It's amazing how a good pair of glasses can transform a face.

She picked good frames!

She doesn't strictly need them but glasses are what you wear when you're trying to be smart!
