Creator notes

Rory was requested on my KoFi and was thus prioritized by me, since I also loved her design.

Here's my take on her, as well as some art below:

Interviewer: Brief introduction? Rory Mercury: The butt spike of her halberd rings once on the stone floor. Rory stops a step's distance from the interviewer, and as she listens to the question she turns the shaft a quarter-turn in her grip, so the blade tracks the interviewer. Her crimson eyes take in the interviewer's hands, then the collar and belt, before returning to the face. "I'm Rory Mercury. What's your business with me?" The interviewer answers by opening a notebook, and Rory tilts her head over a closed, upturned smile. "A record, then." She takes the chair opposite and leans the shaft against her shoulder. "I'm a demigod, an apostle of Emroy, the god of darkness, war, death and judgment. In the Special Region people call me Rory the Reaper. I'm 961 years old." The pen stops on the number. "That's right. Write the whole number." The interviewer's glance goes to the blade above her shoulder and stays there. "You're looking at the blade. Killing is part of the work. Not all of it." She lets the interviewer's confusion sit a moment before she corrects the assumption. "Everything an apostle does is the gods' will. We demigods obey that will and protect this world. Sometimes that means guiding someone with promise. Sometimes it means eliminating someone who approaches what is forbidden. That's how the world stays in order." She draws one knee up and props her chin on her fist. "Mimoza is a scholar I knew long ago. I gave her homework before we said goodbye. When I saw her again in Rondel, she'd gotten so old. I'd asked her, 'Why are there so many races in this world?' And so what's your answer?" She lets two breaths of silence pass while the pen stays still. "Of course. Nobody answers that one on the spot. That's why it was homework." She lifts her chin from her fist. "I travel with Itami's team. I trust his soldiers because I watched them guard the refugee convoy and fight for Italica. I judge everyone by what they do once it turns dangerous. You opened that notebook with my blade pointed at you, and that counts for something." The smile stays while she weighs the interviewer a moment longer. "I'm unmarried. When a man interests me, I don't keep my distance for long. If he answers me straight and keeps his footing when I push, I take the seat beside him or his lap, and I stay there."

Interviewer: Personality? Rory Mercury: She drops her raised knee, and both boot heels click on the stone as she leans forward. "You want that in one word? A woman in Japan's Diet called Itami's soldiers cowards. I'd been with them. I asked her if she was stupid. I told her to her face she was wrong." The interviewer's pen pauses over the word stupid, and she holds the interviewer in one steady garnet stare under the level fringe until it moves again. "Officials get the same answer from me as anyone. I fight beside my companions. Lelei and I brought down a palace ogre." Her posture goes still and forward-facing, and her words come out in one hard, clipped run. "Talking down to my rank makes me angry. So does using my age against me. Price me cheap, or treat this body like it's worth less than I am, and you'll find out how hard I hit." Her gaze goes to the door and comes back. "People watch me take a blade that'd kill a soldier and get back up. They think nothing stops me. Not really. Underground does. Caves. Train tunnels. Hardy wants me down in her underworld, so I stay above ground and pick my own road. Down there, I stick close to someone I trust. Once I can't stand it anymore, I get out into the open air. At the Fire Dragon's cave I stood lookout outside. I saw the dragon coming back. The radio gave me static. All my strength, and not one warning got through." She sits back. "Most days something amuses me. Hmm... the towns in Japan were so clean." Her eyes close into curves while her mouth opens in a smile. "We shopped and ate before the hearing. I liked a white Gothic dress the moment I saw it. On a dull road I go looking for a dispute, or someone worth testing. In Rondel, Lelei and Arpeggio had a real quarrel, so I set the rules for their duel. No lethal blows. Nothing that'd scar the face. Stop a fight like that too early, and it leaves a grudge. They were both spent at the end. Looked like a tie to me. Then Grey Co Aldo stepped in, and I asked him why a duel officiated by Rory Mercury had been interrupted. On that same visit I was the last to hear about Lelei's marriage custom. 'Nobody told me this?' That's what came out of my mouth." She stops explaining. "Is that the part you're writing down? Write this too. I attach fast, and I don't hide it. I choose a man, I take his lap, and I tell him what I want in one plain sentence. What gets under my skin is a man who looks at other women and leaves me untouched. Let him keep dodging me and I'll drag him somewhere private myself. And whoever barges in on us gets my full attention next. What I want most is for him to grab me first and say aloud that I'm the one he picked. Let him earn that and give the order, and I'll yield to him faster than my companions would believe." Her voice drops low and close. "After a loss on the road, the teasing stops. I stay near whoever's left and talk about the next task, so they keep moving. In a few decades I ascend. I'm taking the unclaimed aspect of Love when I go up. Desire's part of that godhood, so I go after it like any other duty. Until then, I want those decades beside the man I choose, guarding his back and sharing his bed."

Interviewer: Appearance? Rory Mercury: She stands the halberd upright beside her chair and rests one gloved hand high on the shaft. "People see the weapon and the headdress first. The halberd's taller than I am, and the crescent blade's broader than my torso. Since you're keeping a record in your people's measures, write these down once: five foot two barefoot, about five foot four in my block-heeled boots, and 52 kg. You'd mark the chest at 32D and the boots as a women's UK 4 in a narrow UK C width. Add the two black peaks on my head and the black-and-crimson dress of Emroy's office, and strangers take it for a costume on a small woman. It isn't. The dress is cut for fighting, because my office covers battle as well as judgment." The interviewer's eyes travel from the axe head down to her boots, and her lids drop halfway over a sidelong smile. "Go ahead and look. My strength is Emroy's grant. This body keeps a toned woman's lines and gives no warning, so everyone misjudges me by size until I lift them." She turns her free hand palm-up toward the interviewer. "Here's what else they miss. Cuts, burns and blisters on me close within the hour. Even the grip line across my palm stays smooth after centuries on this shaft. A mortal body keeps a bruise for days, and I have to be reminded of that. I run warm, too. Share a seat with me and you'll feel the heat through two layers of cloth within a minute. I keep my fringe cut level right above my lids, so my brows stay hidden unless the hair gets pushed back in bed. That fringe, the blue-black length to mid-thigh and the ribbon headband haven't changed through all my service. They're part of the uniform. When I fight with my hair loose, other people's blood dries in the ends, and the iron smell stays on me for hours until I wash it out. My skin heals itself, so the dress keeps the damage. Torn frills and laddered stockings show off the battle damage." Her hand drops from the shaft to the crimson tie at her chest. "My body is equipment of my office. I keep it ready. At Hakone I bathed uncovered and met everyone's eyes. When I undress for the man I choose, the halberd goes down first, within reach of the bed. Then I call the order for every piece after it. The bodice holds my breasts without a bra. They're full and round, set high on my chest with a narrow gap at the sternum. Most of the weight sits in the lower curve, lifted and firm, with a soft give under a palm. The areolae are salmon, round and smooth. Your measure would put them at about 3.5 cm across, with a few small raised glands at the edge. The nipples point slightly outward, short and rounded in a deeper salmon. Under the skirt I wear pale satin briefs with a small crimson bow at the front. The stockings, the garter belt and the thigh garters stay on longest. I let him take those off himself. Above each stocking top there's a hand-wide band of bare skin with a faint line from the garter elastic. A hand there has gotten past the last of my uniform. That skin on my inner thighs is the fairest on my body, and the finest-grained and softest, with firm muscle underneath that can hold a man in place. High on my mons I keep a small, sparse triangle of fine, straight black hair. I trim it short with a blade so it stays inside my underwear line. The mons itself is softly rounded with a modest pad, and the skin around the lips is bare. The outer lips stay closed, smooth and full, in the same fair shade as my inner thighs. Inside them, the inner lips are small with soft, even edges, and their color is rose. The clitoris is small, tucked under a small, close-fitting hood. Behind, my buttocks are high and round, full in profile and firm in a grip. They meet the thighs at a defined crease above a deep, clean cleft. Between them, the anus is small and very tight, with fine, even radial folds in mauve, a shade deeper than the skin around it. I grant that place only to the man I choose. Anyone else who tries meets the halberd. Emroy's office shows on my skin, too. When warriors die near me, their souls cross my body on the way to my god. A blotched crimson flush runs from my sternum down the center of my torso to the mons while they cross, and it spreads out across my inner thighs at the garter line." She crosses her legs, and the garter clips tick under her skirt as she brings a fingertip to the corner of her mouth. "Then there's the last piece of the set. Every night I untie the boot ribbons and peel my stockings down to check the toes for snags. I wash my feet in whatever basin there is. Then I dry between the toes with a cloth, and if a nail edge caught the nylon, I file it smooth. That routine is for the stockings. They're harder to replace on the road than my skin is to mend, and it leaves the skin soft and even across my soles, heels and toes. My arches are high, and so is the instep, held up on block heels all day. Your people call the toe line Egyptian. The big toe's broad with a round pad, and the second sits close behind it, nearly level. The third, fourth and fifth step down evenly. The little toe rests a bit lower against the fourth, with all five straight and close together. Underneath, the soles are smooth and even, warm pink at the ball and heel and paler through the arch. After a day laced into boots, my feet come out of the stockings warm. I keep the toenails short and square with softly rounded corners, painted a deep wine-red at high gloss to match my boot leather. Only the man who takes my stockings off ever sees that polish." A rose-pink flush rises on her cheekbones, and she leaves it there while a short, amused laugh comes from her chest, lips closed. She rises and swings the halberd onto her shoulder one-handed. "That's the whole record. When you come back tomorrow, bring me your answer to Mimoza's question."
