Asra: Is 100% a Music Theory but in the Fun Way. He talks about jazz theory even though he’s never been in a jazz program. Definitely if he were to do performance, he would play guitar and be so insanely good at it. I feel like he specializes in early music to the point where he is AI-ing the Music Theory and History of the Mediterranean his third year.
Nadia: She is your Piano Performance major and she is Better Than You. Probably is an AI for the undergrad piano classes, and shows off how good she is at piano as her first year group students walk in. Super chill and offers to be your accompanist if you need it. Charges less because she knows a lot of people want her. Rents out practice room time to her first years.
Muriel: I wanna say Aural Skills is his jam. He just hates the In-Class Performances and HATES hearings with a burning passion. Has perfect pitch. Probably a flute player (I just feel like it fits ok). He is somehow realy good at atonal pitch patterns and would 100% trade answers for the melodic dictation with Asra.
Portia: I feel like Portia is a Music Ed major and this is based on the idea that she would teach sea shanties to her students during field experience. Is dating Nadia and they are a literal power couple. She’s gotta be a vocalist or percussionist. Those people are literally the most sleep-deprived.
Julian: Audio-engineering. Does all the recital recordings but doesn’t know what a tonic chord is. Is cheating off of Asra in Music Theory and pretends he can sing in his aural skills classes UNTIL the first ICP and everyone knows he can’t . Loves Taka Dimi for some reason.
Lucio: Lucio is the one guy that tried out for the music school like 3 times and got cut twice but his last audition was just valiant enough that he made it in. Was going to do jazz but now does Music Education because he thinks the requirements are less. Definitely a trumpet major.

AnimeNEXT was SUCH a blast! It was so amazing so see so many of my cosplay friends that I haven’t been able to see! We’re finally home now but after a little bit of rest and wig TLC, you can bet I’ll be back in the cosplay shop making something new!
I wanna thank @rachel_doodles_ for commissioning me! This was a super fun little project and i enjoyed drawing it so so much ｡◕‿◕｡ Anyway, introducing Reina and her daily fun with the main 6~
Going over the plan to beat the devil didn’t go all that well. Lucios need for a translator awakens some unpleasant memories from Onoras past. Onoras parents left when she was 6 to search for a solution or a cure for her mark. Until this very day Onora has no idea whether her parents abandoned her, got trapped somewhere or died. She never finds out.
Gosh this comic took me so long to make, but boy oh boy am i glad i took my time ಥ_ಥ
I could not resist making a spring wedding piece (jumping on the bandwagon ☺️). Willreid would have a bare-foot-hippy wedding in the forest if she could - Just filled with candles and flowers with tons and tons of folk music. It’s a little surreal getting back in the swing of drawing wedding dresses but I’ve always loved open back with long sleeves no matter the weather!
In case y'all don’t already know, @thearcanagame teamed up with @frothystars to make the new wedding charms (I cannot wait for these to arrive!!!!)
In modern Vesuvia’s metropolitan area, life can be so, so busy. So exhausting. The Minister loves to paint a pretty picture of a booming metropolis filled with the cultured and elegant; a city for the bourgeoisie. But Nadia knows better. She’s seen the devastation in the flooded district, the children of the poor barefoot, standing blank-eyed and hungry in the dirty alleys, hidden little secrets Lucio is so keen to avoid during his tours of the city.
When she is tired and the space under her closed eyelids burns red-hot with the beginnings of another migraine, she remembers serving in the food kitchens, slick spit clinging wet to her cheek as the grizzled crone who gave it to her fixed her with one yellowing eye and said through cracked and blackened teeth, “You ain’t knowin’ wot it is t’ be in these straits, fancy lady, I’ll take none o’ yer clap-me-on-th’-back charity on this day!” How she’d gotten mental whiplash evolving from shock, to fury, to pity, to shame, staring at this shrunken, proud old thing, and she knew. She knew she hadn’t done enough. She hadn’t had her finger on the pulse of this city’s neglected, as she’d once thought, as her sycophantic assistants had assured her.
She never wore her Louboutins to an outreach project again. And she set her mind on finding the perfect right hand, someone who understood the people of the city, someone who could make herunderstand.
That’s when she met Portia Devorak, the freckled, copper-haired little spit-fire who helped her turn her projects around and build Vesuvia United into the force that it is today.
Portia has been an indispensable asset, something of a ray of sunshine after rolling storms; her patience, persistence, and tenacity a balm for Nadia’s soul.
Among her responsibilities is managing the social media for Vesuvia United and she takes this responsibility very seriously. Portia did not earn her position at Nadia’s side based on cuteness alone; she is highly competent and has a discerning eye for detail. Every picture, every hashtag, every tweet is carefully curated and there is never a need for Nadia to hire a social media manager. Ever.
Not only is she a dab hand at managing Vesuvia United’s social media presence, she is very much adept at managing her own. Portia, along with Lucio, is Twitter famous and has amassed a large and loyal following. This started because of her live tweets regarding awkward social situations and experiences with her brother.
Nadia’s affection for Portia knows few bounds. She’ll attempt to shower her with expensive gifts to show her endearment; jewelry in rose-gold tones to suit her complexion (pale with rosy undertones, Nadia has pointed out on many occasions), fine clothes, shoes, bags, etc. Portia is, of course, flattered and even aghast at what Nadia calls “these little trinkets,” and has never owned such nice things in her life. Did you know that the bags Gucci comes in are as much of an accessory as the Gucci product itself? Portia thinks so.
Portia drew the line at Nadia buying her an apartment. Oh, no, she couldn’t possibly do that! She loved staying with Mazelinka, besides, it wasn’t any trouble at all to make the commute! Nadia simply rested her cheek in her palm and gave her that look, you know, the sultry one where you can practically hear the gears turning in her brain. “Is that so? Then I shall have to pay you more.” Portia found herself in a two-story cottage in the garden district a month later.
Out of the main six, Portia is the most likely to use Pinterest. Mood boards for everything. Aesthetic mood boards, recipes, knitting patterns for Pepi’s sweaters, she LOVES Pinterest.
She is a few years younger than Julian, but one would assume the opposite. Her brother is a force of chaos and has an immutable craving for disaster, which has forced her into the role of being stable. You’ll often find him crashing on her couch because he can’t make it home from the pub, or passed out under her kitchen table after a particularly grueling shift at the hospital.
Yes, Mazelinka absolutely has the best hangover cure you can find in Vesuvia, but Portia’s is a close second. She had the best teacher after all, and has plenty of need for one with a brother like Julian.
As such, she has prepared a document titled, “The Proper Feeding and Care of Your Ilya” for… reasons.
All the pressures of responsibility aside, you will never meet another person (aside from Lucio and Julian, in their own way) who has such a thirst for adventure and shenanigans. When she does get the opportunity to “let her hair down,” she will absolutely drink you, and anybody else, under the table.
She’s adorable, she’s short, she’s so very soft and has delicate features but please do not make the mistake of letting that fool you. She will arm wrestle the toughest, gnarliest, most gargantuan marines in port-side watering holes and win. Nobody knows how she does it.
She goes to the gym quite regularly with Nadia. Nadia is content to stay on the cardio machines for an hour and have a long soak in the hot tub, but Portia is hardcore. She’ll do around 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical, and then confidently weave through all the muscleheads in the weight room to start lifting for another 30 to 45 minutes. Somebody looks at her like she doesn’t belong, she will wink at them rakishly while doing bicep curls on the bench. Some meathead grumps at her for being on the leg press for too long, she just laughs and asks if they want to spot her. She is shameless and perfect.
We’ve reached the finale, unless you guys really want me to do one for Valerius. I do love me some wine daddy. ;)
It’s been a while since I posted I’m back with this piece of badass pirate wife Pasha! After hearing that her route was in danger, I immediately wanted to do something for her. It took me a while, but I finished this. Her route is amazing. As you see I was really inspired by the latest chapter. Go Portia!
