it's fine wilford is older than dirt anyways
as for NLship, i was offered the character by my friend zaerie who was NL at the time, and had been for majority of my time in petra. really, it was just an offer to play one of their kids, which i was thrilled to do, until it became an offer to be NL. so, i don't really have much advice there- i was kinda drawn from a hat. it came with the offer than hom, my irl partner, would be my consort (and they were! we're a package deal) and that we'd run the petra half of the heartlands- you can see how that ended LOL. but it was stressful, i won't lie. being NL was probably one of the roughest periods on my mental health i've had to deal with, especially with the heartlands crisis taking place over my birthday (at least i was turning old enough to drink). my biggest advice? rely on your team. not entirely, of course, you have to be self sufficient, but TAKE HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT. do NOT try to shoulder everything, but also do not pass so many things off. there has to be balance. do not sacrifice yourself, but don't sacrifice your team. and don't take anyone's shit.
elowyn is actually a human! she's an adunian, technically. i've played a few elves but haven't been able to get into the community (no hate to y'all). i've ALWAYS wanted to play a cursed child, since i first started on the server, but the chance has never arisen. if it ever presented itself i would ******* LEAP to do so, i love the concept, i love the designs, i love them.
