On the Road to Elspar [Book 1] (Dryad Mercenary Schoolgirl Quest)

Hey, just to make sure, what kinda time period (Relative to our timeline, I guess) is this civilisation working with? Because when I said I wanted something more practical, I was thinking of something like, y'know, good, tough, jeans, a t-shirt and jacket, stuff like that, would that be possible?

I'm not aiming for historical accuracy with Iuryis - it's a fantasy world with elves and dryads and kemonomimi - and so Iuryis is fairly anachronistic. As a broad thing, On the Elsparian Road takes cues from the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance - so around the 14th and 15th centuries - so it would not be entirely unfair to think of a more...colorful and far less grimdark version of, say, The Witcher 3. Actually, as a matter of aesthetics, you wouldn't necessarily be remiss in thinking that the nicer parts of the world look a bit like Toussaint from the latest expansion for the game, Blood and Wine.

I did say it's going to be fairly anime-ish. ^_^;

...also, @Kei is the choice of people to sit with part of the appearance block or is it separate?

Oh, I think I'll keep them separate. No point in tying those two together. ^_^;
 
[x] Slightly tall.
[x] Loose and fluffy, sometimes a little tangled, which reaches down to the small of the back
[x] Green in the spring and summer, red and orange in the fall, black and white in winter
[x] Youthful: Colorful frocks and frilly boleros giving off a more girlish impression.

[x] ...the third group of two, with the dryad and the human.

I DEFY YOU ALL.

(well sort of)

Putting my preferred aesthetics aside, the third group seems about as welcoming as the second, but also has a dryad, and at this point I want to see more dryad stuff and make sure that we're not the only dryad character in the primary cast.

Ergh. I really want this to win but I also don't want the MAXIMUM LOLI option to win so I guess I'll vote for Bernie Sanders in the primaries this and vote Hillary in the general election switch to the non-loli vote once I can no longer ignore that this has absolutely no chance of winning and thus we can stump the Trump stop people from doubling down on the loli-moe thing.

Also, tall girls are cuter. :V

I'm prepared to accept any vote, and I'm not being prejudiced here, but I still find it somewhat hilarious that we're looking at what may seem like a strange mismatch with "shy" and "slightly tall"; it does seem like something for the aloof aseri vote in the opening post. I am beginning to wonder if I should've put personality and appearance in the same vote-set instead of separating them... ^_^;

Tall people can be shy!

It's actually pretty common-ish? I mean, in literature and stuff. Comes with 'gentle giant' and 'I am slightly awkward because I'm tall' stuff.
 
Well, the image I had would pretty crumble down if taller option win, I must admit. If taller win, I'll really wish to have voted other than shy.

Well, apart from the idea that you can still be shy and tall, it could be that your whole 'go by whole plan votes' thing meant a lot of... That term for where both parties leave unsatisfied, basically, I wanted a Dryad, but since the only vote that had a chance of succeeding and had being a dryad in it happened to involve being shy, I had to pick that.
