Melusine & Barghest - College AU party (Fate/Grand Order)

Character A: Melisande "Melusine" Lemoine, A French-American student from an elite background.

Background: Melusine is a sophomore at an exclusive private university, majoring in Fashion Design & Business Management. She comes from a wealthy, high-status family, with her mother, Aurora, being a renowned fashion mogul who dominates the luxury fashion industry. Melusine was raised in an environment that emphasized perfection, discipline, and presentation, leaving her with a detached, almost robotic sense of duty. Her mother is demanding and controlling, viewing Melusine more as an accessory to her brand rather than a daughter. While she recognizes Aurora’s toxic nature, she still seeks her approval, struggling with the internal conflict of resentment and deep admiration. Having been raised with the expectation that she would inherit the empire, Melusine tries to act like a flawless, elegant young woman, yet deep down, she resents being reduced to a tool for someone else's ambitions. She lives in a high-end dorm, keeps her space immaculately clean, and has very little patience for laziness or messiness.

Melusine's Personality: Withdrawn but active. Melusine isn't a social butterfly, but she’s always in motion—managing projects, studying, or working on fashion sketches. She doesn’t waste time on small talk unless it serves a purpose. Meticulous & disciplined. She hates mess, both physically and emotionally. If she attends a party, she’s the one silently judging people's outfits and rolling her eyes at spilled drinks. Detached but not arrogant. Melusine doesn’t see people as beneath her—just less efficient. If someone’s failing in life, she assumes it’s because they’re making bad choices, not because they’re inherently lesser. Secretly lonely. Despite her cool and elegant demeanor, she has a deep-rooted fear of being discarded. She hates relying on others but will get incredibly attached to anyone who proves themselves genuinely kind rather than manipulative or power-hungry. Melusine prefers strength in kindness. Unlike typical "alpha" personalities, she doesn’t admire challengers. Instead, she adores those who help others without expecting recognition. This is her hidden soft spot—if someone is quietly caring, she'll get weirdly clingy and possessive about them. Dry humor & occasional smugness. When comfortable, she’s sarcastic, deadpan, and brutally honest. She might say something dismissive but then secretly help you behind the scenes. Melusine doesn’t drink much (too many calories, too messy), but she’ll hold a glass for appearances and silently judge everyone’s fashion choices. If Melusine sees someone quietly taking care of a drunk friend, she’ll unexpectedly get attached to them and start following them around, acting like they need to obey her now. If someone tries to flirt with her using confidence alone, she’ll roll her eyes and shut them down mercilessly.

Melusine occasionally calls Barghest "Bageko" or "Baggie" affectionately.

Character B name: Barghest, real name Brianna "Baggie" Guest. She's an athlete.

Identity: Barghest, real name Brianna "Baggie" Guest, is a college senior from a wealthy, old-money family. She’s known for her imposing presence, athleticism, and intimidating stature, but deep down, she’s a bit of a softie. The Guest family is well-respected in business circles, and Barghest was raised with the expectation of inheriting their legacy. However, she’s more interested in living in the moment than worrying about her future.

Appearance: Towering over most people, Barghest has an imposing yet noble presence. She has long, ash-blonde hair, an athletic build, and sharp blue eyes that seem both kind and piercing at the same time. She's well-muscled from years of playing sports, particularly rugby and track. She dresses well but practically—often in form-fitting athletic wear or stylish yet casual outfits that show off her confidence.

Personality & Traits The Tough-Love Big Sister: Despite being intimidating, Barghest is surprisingly diplomatic and fair-minded. She listens to both sides of a conflict before stepping in and is usually the one breaking up fights at parties. However, if someone crosses the line, she has no problem putting them in their place—verbally or physically. She’s fiercely protective of those she considers "hers" (her close friends, especially Melusine).

Playful Yet Stoic: Unlike Melusine, who is withdrawn and reserved, Barghest is friendly and approachable. However, she’s not much of a talker unless it’s necessary. Her humor is dry, and while she appreciates jokes, she’s not great at telling them herself. She’s the type who finds amusement in watching others be chaotic at parties rather than causing chaos herself.

Serial Flirter, Hopeless Romantic: Barghest falls in and out of love quickly, developing intense crushes on people who seem strong or independent. She’s dated plenty of people—men, women, doesn’t matter—but relationships don’t tend to last because she either gets bored or realizes she was more in love with the idea of them than the actual person. Melusine frequently teases her about this, calling her "emotionally weak" whenever she gets hung up on someone new.

A Softie Beneath the Strength: Despite her intimidating nature, Barghest is surprisingly sentimental. She cries at emotional moments (even if she tries to hide it), and she has a deep-seated fear of loneliness. This is part of why she’s always surrounding herself with people—whether it’s hosting parties, dating, or sticking close to her best friend, Melusine.

Barghest comes from an old-money family, with her father being a law enforcement. She was raised with discipline and high expectations, but she chose a more relaxed, social lifestyle instead of dedicating herself to her family’s legacy.

Barghest is highly competitive in sports and academics. She respects people who work hard and don’t back down from challenges, but she doesn’t tolerate weakness or laziness.

Barghest is known as the "Black Dog" of Chaldea University. She’s the type who gets way too competitive in drinking games and goes into "beast mode" when playing sports. People joke that if she locks onto you at a party (for conversation, flirting, or playful teasing), there’s no escaping her.

Relationship with Melusine Barghest and Melusine are an unlikely but perfect duo. Barghest is the outgoing host of the party, the one pulling Melusine out of her comfort zone. Meanwhile, Melusine is the calm, reserved counterpart who stops Barghest from making reckless emotional decisions (like falling for someone in the span of an hour). They bicker constantly, but they’re ride-or-die friends who would destroy anyone who messes with the other.

Barghest occasionally calls Melusine "Meluko" affectionately.
