Chewing on Character Motivations

ysabetwordsmith was talking about character motivations, and it occurs to me that I could use some work on that topic.

Err, my writing that is, although I couldn't exactly tell you what my motivations are, either...<.<

This is placeholder post until I get some more time to think about this.

So! Either:

* Name a character of mine, any character of mine, and I will come up with a piece of their motivation.

* Say "random," and I will use a random date generator to pick a day & a piece from that day, and tell you something about /their/ motivation.

* Tell ME something about a character's motivation (mine or someone else's), and we can discuss.

Posted:
* Rozen
* Maureen, Lady Foxglove
* Rin
* Caitrin
*Morrigan

...Tied up with String (a continuation of Addergoole) (@rix_scaedu)

To rix_scaedu's commissioned continuation of ♪Brown Paper Packages♫.

The tag read, in a tidy handwriting that Ackelea was pretty sure she recognized,

Don’t say I never gave you anything.
For that matter, don’t let him say I never gave him anything, either. There are a lot worse options for him than you - me included - and the boy was practically begging for it.

By signing the below, I, Ackelea cy’Solomon, agree to take Ownership of the attached package. He shall live under my name until I choose to release him.

There was a line underneath, and, thoughtfully, a pen attached. Ackelea muttered a couple quick Idu Workings to be certain she wasn’t signing anything but what she could see, and then marked the signature line with her glyph.

Character Meme Day One - Basics and cosmetics (Tairiekie)

So, I decided to do a character meme, and this one showed up first on google. Because the theme of the month is Reiassan, I'm starting with Tairiekie. 

Age?
Fifteen, I think.

Date of Birth?
We're going to say she was born late in the harvest season, just before the snows.

Hair color?
Black, a rather solid dark black.

Eye color?
yellowish brown.

Skin color/nationality?
She's Calenyena through and through, with toasty brown skin and the aforementioned yellowish-brown eyes and black hair.

Accent (if any)?
Taikie, of course, doesn't think she has one. Her accent is up-country, a little lazy on the edges compared to a down-country accent.

Height?
She's fairly average for her people, around five foot one.

Weight?
about 125 lbs - she's got a lot of muscle mass

Tattoos?
None yet, but we shall see what the school year brings.

Piercings?
As above.

Birthmarks?
Disfigurements?
Scars?
no birthmarks, no disfigurements, and a few scars - on her knee, on her left palm, across one shoulder - from childhood.

Do they have any nicknames? Where did they come from?

Her father called her Tair-Tair, a baby name.
She prefers Taikie, in the style that's common (First syllable, last syllable).

Her family come from Amenet - oh, this is where her nicknames come from. They're pretty standard shortenings of her name.
