Player Name: pepper Character: Ruan Mei Canon: Honkai Star Rail Team: Acidia General AU idea: mostly the same as what i initially put in the past plotting post:
Local woman is a serial divorcee/dater. Very attractive, very lovely, tends to pull people in by being just strange and offputting and elegant ENOUGH to start a relationship (she's very receptive to dates!!) but never lasts more than a year into a marriage, if it gets to marriage at all. None of her relationships tend to end badly, but there is always a general air of confusion about why. She seems to have her reasons and always assured ex-partners it's not specifically them, but it's pretty clear that she's looking for something and maybe just not getting results...? None of her partners are totally alike. She's very strange. But she's civil and perfectly kind about it, and accommodating, so if nothing else she doesn't seem to have any explicitly hostile previous relationships (or at least if she does, it doesn't seem to bother her much).
Currently she owns a relatively busy tea house/confectionary shop and has decent work-life balance but she doesn't particularly seem to be in love with her job... or really anything else, for that matter. Notably she has never said she loves any of her partners, which likely contributes to the divorces in the first place...? Who knows.
She tends to just Disappear sometimes but she always come back eeeeventually...??? possibly also a contributing factor to ending relationships.
some more background stuff: - relatively wealthy lifestyle/family background but nothing terribly extravagant. tends to look more wealthy than she is due to style of dress/how she presents herself/etc. had an arranged marriage but her parents both died a few years ago and so started her divorce spree i guess - went to college and fully graduated with a specific interest in biology (and related) but only dabbled in it as a career here and there for some reason...? - ^you can probably infer some basic stuff and/or suggest whatever along any of these lines for cr purposes and i would be down for it - Due to being in Acidia she IS deeply knowledgeable about herbal remedies and probably implements them into her baking/tea in some ways (+ also the odd bout of psuedo-hypnotism/poison/obedience via poison, don't worry about it), but despite this she pretty blatantly goes against this aspect of the Family in order to run her shop/etc. She does deeply care about life but, well...........
Roles/CR you're interested in: - Old school friends/teachers/associates from her field work jobs before she started her bakery - Bakery regulars/associates/employees. She probably only has one or two employees. - Exes (bonus: you get to be in the Exes and Bros group chat. no ruan mei is not part of it but she knows about it,) - Casual "friends"/etc. Friendship with her may be somewhat one-sided bc she does tend to only concern herself with her own issues to an extent and she's not, like... terribly great at getting close to people. But she can socialize fine when she needs to.
Wants and Dreams: make her have some sort of emotion and be wildly uncomfortable about it. i want her to squirm

- went to college and fully graduated with a specific interest in biology (and related) but only dabbled in it as a career here and there for some reason...?
- ^you can probably infer some basic stuff and/or suggest whatever along any of these lines for cr purposes and i would be down for it
- Due to being in Acidia she IS deeply knowledgeable about herbal remedies and probably implements them into her baking/tea in some ways (+ also the odd bout of psuedo-hypnotism/poison/obedience via poison, don't worry about it), but despite this she pretty blatantly goes against this aspect of the Family in order to run her shop/etc. She does deeply care about life but, well...........
