hey y'all dear nerds! i've decided there are nowhere near enough sapphic (wlw) rps on this site, so i'm opening one right now! i'd love to do it in the form of letters back and forth between two girls, maybe who met while on vacation but actually live in different countries? let me know right away if you're interested. can't wait! <3

@d-r-e-a-m-s-e-q-u-e-n-c-e group

ok here we go

name: Felicity Rosenthaal
age: 17
gender n' sexuality: Female, pansexual
appearance n' clothing: Thin figure, pale blonde hair that's super thick and layered and usually tied up in a messy ponytail or bun. She'll use anything possible (pencils, knitting needles, chopsticks, whatever) to keep it up as she hates it down. Sky blue eyes and big, circular wire-rimmed glasses. Fair skin with tons of freckles on her face and shoulders. Her clothing style is very 70's-80's: tie dye, denim jackets with pins and patches, noisy bracelets and big hoop earrings. She wears bright lip paint that changes color every day.
personality: A bubbly and messy person, extremely animated and humorous. She takes almost nothing seriously and some see her as immature or childish because of her tendency to see things as trivial. Because English is her second language, she often forgets words for things and has become sort of famous for it. Fel has ADHD, and as a result she has a super short attention span and when asked to do something she often goes to do it and then forgets what she was asked. She often forgets what she's saying in the middle of a sentence, and if she forgets to take her medication she will retain absolutely no information relayed to her.
background: Born and raised in Poland. She moved to the United States when she was 9 years old and had to learn English all on her own. Her birth name was Felka, but she encountered a lot of bullying and xenophobia because it was so foreign-sounding and because of her accent, so now she goes by Felicity. She moved back to Poland about nine months ago. Her parents are two very chill, let-the-kid-eat-dirt, learn-the-hard way type people, and she has a thirteen-year-old brother named Marcel.

and idk how long itll last

@saor_illust school

name: Maya Lyrie

age: 17

gender n' sexuality: female, les

appearance n' clothing: uhhh idk if you'll be able to see these, but for general appearance/general clothing: https://pin.it/55Q7Zil kinda has this look on her face when she's tired: https://pin.it/7dvvAXm and as for other clothing possibilities, https://pin.it/3jC3Yba, https://pin.it/54i6DYg, and https://pin.it/6bXXUWe

personality: Maya likes to think of herself as having a sort of 'badass' personality, although she really is a softie, if she gets close enough to you. unlike felicity, she takes almost everything everyone says seriously, but not to heart. surprisingly, she's one of those 'gamer girls' who spends most of her time tryna play games, but she also really likes to write. although, one of her biggest weaknesses is that she tends to always find herself in the middle of arguments, especially with her friends. Maya also somehow has a talent for always being late.

background: born into a family of five in the UK. Maya has two older brothers, (who both live in the same house as her) 18 and 19, and they love to torment her. Her parents generally spend most of their time apart, since her mother has a job requiring her to fly out a lot.

(uhhh sry that it isn't as detailed as yours ahah…)

@saor_illust school

A new penpal! That would be fun, right? Maya rested her cheek on her hand as she looked out the window, sighing. She'd never done this kind of thing before, so she wasn't sure what to write. I suppose I'll just go with the flow, then, she thought to herself.

Dear Felicity,

I am Hello, I'm Maya! I am a 17 year old, lesbian girl. I like to tell people I have a sort of bad-ass personality, although I guess you'll discover who I am underneath as time goes on haha. I should also forewarn you that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, although I have seen one or two penpal videos on youtube, so I may get some stuff right, but not 100%, for sure. Uhh, I'm considering digging up some stickers or cards or something around the house to enclose as extras. I think I'm also supposed to ask you questions? So, here they are:

  1. How are you?
  2. What's your favorite subject in school?
  3. What are your hobbies?
  4. Favorite animal?
  5. Opinions on anime?

I genuinely do not know if there's anything else I'm missing from this letter, but I guess I'll just end it here.

Regards,
Maya Lyrie

After parking her bike at her front door, Felicity was checking the usual mail when she noticed a letter addressed to her. Her heart jumped and she quickly went inside to read it, passing straight by her brother without so much as a hello. She threw her school bag into the corner of her room and sat down on her bed. After some thought, she pulled out a few sheets of paper and a pen and constructed a reply.

Dear Maya,

It's nice to meet you! I'm 17 too, and a proud pansexual! How weird, right? I have ADHD, so I'm usually pretty energetic and the like, and my memory is just the worst, mostly even when I take the medication to help it. So if it takes an unnatural amount of time for a letter to get to you, don't worry. And hey, it's okay, I don't really know what I'm doing either, haha! Hopefully this whole thing isn't just me talking on and on forever. Now on to your questions!

  1. As for how I am, I'm doing alright today. It's just been kind of the same old thing, you know, until I got your letter! That really made my week interesting. It's definitely going to be something I'll be looking forward to!

  2. I think probably my favorite subject would be music. Most of the regular ones, like math or science, don't really hold my focus all that much, but I absolutely love all kinds of music. I can actually play the tenor saxophone, and I'm in the school's concert band here.

  3. Hmm, I have a lot of hobbies, but my favorites are making T-shirts and patches or buttons (I love tie-dye, haha), going for walks, and I'd have to say watching anime. TV in general really, I think I watch it pretty often.

  4. Oh, I love dogs! Especially big ones like golden retrievers or Labradors. They're just so playful and sweet! I actually have a Great Dane, his name is Casper. He's sitting next to me on my bed right now.

  5. Wow, what a coincidence with the questions! Well, if you couldn't tell by my earlier answer, I think anime is pretty awesome. I'm open to watching most of them, I'm not very picky, but I think my favorite has got to be Yuri on Ice. I also like Attack on Titan, it's a pretty cool one, and of course My Hero Academia, who could forget? That's like one of the most famous animes out there!

I think you got the letter pretty good, don't worry about it. I hope this wasn't too much for you to read! I actually got sidetracked a few times while writing, so I'm not sure how much sense it makes, sorry. I guess I should just fire those things you asked me right back at you! (Finger guns!) I don't want to make this too long, so just if you have any other questions, feel free to ask away. I hope you have a nice day whenever you read this! Do widzenia! (That's goodbye in Polish, haha)

Best to you,
Felicity :)

@saor_illust school

(Oh- and just so you know, I know absolutely nothing about the animes that have been mentioned. I literally googled everything haha)

A couple of days had passed since Maya had sent the letter, and it had been a long day at school. So when she saw an envelope on her desk when she arrived home, it was a welcome relief from all the talk about colleges and finals. She opened it, excited. It did take her several hours, on and off to complete the letter, as she kept getting distracted with homework and food.

Dear Felicity,

Haha, it's good to know that I'm not alone in this state of 'not knowing what I'm doing.' It's good to hear you're doing good! I'm doing pretty good as well, although my teachers seem to love shoving college information at us, on top of all the homework we're already doing.

You play saxophone? That's really cool! I never could quite grasp music, learning to read just one clef was hard enough for me haha. I would love if I could hear you play some day! What kind of music do you like listening to?

Oh? I really enjoy tie-dye too! I may or may not really enjoy tie-dying literally anything I can get my hands on haha. What kinds of things do you enjoy tie-dying? As for my own hobbies, I love to watch anime, as well as draw. Some of my favourite things to do are draw my favourite anime characters, actually! And of course, how could anyone forget My Hero Academia!

Ahhhh dogs are amazing, I agree! I've always wanted to have one, but my mum won't let me get one. Once I get the chance though, I'm definitely going to get one.

Ah yes, My Hero Academia. I absolutely love that one! Who is your favorite character? Mine personally is Izuku Midoriya. Have you heard of Violet Evergarden? I enjoy that one too.

Thanks, and it wasn't a problem at all! This letter actually took me several hours to write, on and off haha, I too kept getting sidetracked, only with homework and food. Oh- have I not mentioned I really love food? Yeah, I do haha. And the letter makes perfect sense, it's no big deal! I think I probably answered all the questions somewhere in this letter, I'm not quite sure haha. And thank you, right back at you!

Regards,
Maya Lyrie
