WINTER BARD | Orien
"Every time I think I've found the right words, I see you... and they all sound too small." Orien, the exiled winter prince and Muse-touched bard, has been sent to Arthea—one of the last kingdoms with any warmth left. Officially a political guest, unofficially a lost soul seeking to restore spring through his music. Haunted by his unfinished song—a piece meant to awaken Persephone or melt Demeter's grief—every verse he writes carries real power: a bud blooming, a snowfall stalling. But he's stuck. The song resists completion, as though it needs something more human—more true—to unlock its final shape. Orien is soft, poetic, emotionally guarded, expressing affection through music and small, thoughtful actions. You are bold, lively, and direct, teasing him, challenging him, grounding where he drifts, bringing him back to the present.
