Feiya's page

While I appreciate the title of your blog, I'm going to have to recommend against throwing me in a pond. Everyone loses. Trust me.

Between Maid Merisiel and poisoning-disguised-waiter Damiel from the influence system art piece in Ultimate Intrigue, we're getting close to being able to staff an inn filled with disguised iconics. Now all we need is a disguised innkeeper!

I do know how to ensure patrons get a good night's rest.

Readies Slumber Hex.

I think you'll find this is a witch worth making a switch.

I couldn't agree more.

D:

So new question.
Sorcerers. What do you think of them? They seem a bit like cheaters to me; all that power and they never have to work for it.

I have learned that power never comes without a price. Having known a few sorcerers, I'm not sure on average they're coming out ahead on the power vs personal cost scale.

Miss Feiya, what do you think of kineticists ?

I'm going to reserve judgement until I meet one in person.

Oh. This is fun.

Feiya (love the hair by the way),

Thank you!

If you could meet one historical/mythological/fantasy witch then who would that be?

Myself in about 20 years from now. I presume I will have built up enough mythos and infamy that I will want to have a chat with myself now.

Follow up. Would you start your own coven?

If the right set of circumstances and people presented themselves.

Did you get to have your own dancing hut? If so then what design/style did you decorate it as? If not what did you get instead?

Not to keep, and the landlord was not inclined to be fooled by toothpaste to cover up holes in the walls.

My dream would be a sleek, well curated collection of interesting things from across golarion, but in all honesty, it would probably just be precarious piles of knick knacks jammed into every possible nook and cranny.

How was your stint as Baba Yaga's White Rider?

Like riding a rollercoaster. Its exhilarating and yet you kind of just want to puke. Also there's lots of screaming.

How'd you, Valeros and Imrijka get out of your century of service to her early?

Some secrets are best left untold for everyone's safety.

What's it like communicating with Daji? I've heard certain spellcasters can speak with their familiars as if they had a common language. Do the two of you, and if so, what is it like?

I assume is different for each individual. For me it's like standing in an old growth forest, silent except for wind rustling through the leaves and someone whispering behind me but no matter how I try I never see anyone or anything but Daji and the trees.

There is a language with no words between us.

An ire of Lissalans

A ________ of vegepygmies.

I made the border purple for Feiya...

Excellent choice.

Maybe silver for Seltyiel? He'll be 100% from scratch. I am unaware of any other examples of him out there.

"Black like his soul" not an option?

Do you have any advice for a novice practitioner of witchcraft?

Don't give up, keep trying, learn your limits and then push them.

So I'm curious: what was it like being brought up by hags?

Not recommended.

Feiya nos Wanderer,

If you encountered a woman who was slowly transmuting herself into a construct, admittedly a free willed one mind you, what would your reaction to her be and would you try to talk her out of her course of action?

Depends, is she the mastermind at the end of an investigation of a series of gruesome murders or is she just a casual acquaintance I meet at a completely innocent tavern?

Ok, Alain is off to go heal his wounded prides (and to see if Kyra can heal his broken nose and if that includes making it straight again or if that costs extra) and Amiri is off to go see if Kyra will heal her broken nose, but leave it crooked.

And I am off to bed.

Oh wow, apparently Alain's definition did not sit well with Amiri.

I have to say, though, he fully deserves what he is about to get.

Never mind, Alain just informed me of the definition of "civilization" and goblins do not fit under it. At all.

Ezren just perked up when Alain told me that.

They are now getting into what appears will be an extended discussion of the definition of "civilization".

Are there civilized goblins?

Sure, of a sort. They have a leader, and if properly motivated can act in accord with one another in pursuits of a single goal.

Also it is good to see you are back. You are my favorite iconic.

It's good to be back.

I think Feiya is still off roaming the mutiverse in a strange hut with chicken legs...

That was totally worth the experience but I am never doing that again!

what do you think of fetchlings?

Daji likes playing it when we have extended down time, but I get bored with the repetition.

More little foxes on the way?

I'm sure daji has literally dozens of fox babies all over Golarion. Animals like foxes aren't as attached to keeping in touch with their young as humans often are.

Feiya,What happens if someone hugs your fox? Does he get mad?

Depends on the context. I recommend against a stranger trying to hug him. Generally it's a good idea to let animals approach you rather than the other way around.

Also, how do you react to being placed in a situation were fire doesn't work?

I'd make a pretty crappy adventurer if I didn't have more than one trick

Have you ever considered the fact daji could be used as a weapon?

A weapon is a tool. And if you're looking for a tool, you'll want Alain. Zing!

How mad would you be if I stole him?

Yes.

Off on new adventures?

Always.

I think Paizo dragged her off to use her hexing ability on the subscription dispatch system ;)

Probably.

Or the goblin messengers are busy.

Goblins are great at delivering messages. Well, great if your an evil mastermind and your message is: destruction and chaos. If they ever find out they're delivering written words it gets awkward.

I think Paizo dragged her off to use her hexing ability on the subscription dispatch system ;)

No, but I can see why you'd think that :)

i think she got frozen up in irrisen

Funny story, I was actually frozen at one point in Irrisen, but that's unrelated to my absence.

I don't think Feiya likes us anymore. :(

Absence makes the heart grow fonder or something.

So, what DOES the fox say?

Right now I know one that is saying he can totally be trusted around the chicken coop if I could just unlatch the gate for something completely unrelated to the fact that he's feeling a might... peckish.

Hi Feiya, are you going to answear anymore questions?

Sure.

Hail.

What sort of personality does he have?

Foxy. He's definitely a very foxy sort of fox.

Also, what in your opinion was the most interesting conversation you've ever had with another iconic?

The time Seelah, Ezren, Seltyiel and I discussed the nature of good and evil around a campfire after a horrific fight with a herd of wild goblins.

speaking of the dancing hut, what style does it dance to?

I think it dances to the beat of its mistress' drum.

Hey, Feiya's back from Irrisen! She totally didn't get killed.

You probably just want to find a non-dancing hut to lie down in and get some sleep, I'd imagine...

There's a post-Adventure adrenaline rush when you get home and suddenly realize you need to start looking for another adventure.

I have some catching up to do, but I came across this today and just had to share: WOW. Love it!

That is...Very well done... I feel quite envious of the artists skill and of both you and Daji's awesomeness.

On the topic of you; how does one pronounce your name?

However one likes. Fee-Ya/Fey-Ya : Po-Tay-Toe/Po-Tah-Toh

Have you ever used the thing above your head as an impromptu boomerang? If you did have you ever taken out an opponent with it?

I had to go figure out what a boomerang is. Then I had to try it to see if it worked. The only one injured with it was myself.

Do you think Daji would get along with my llama?

Depends. Is it a talking llama?

I didn't want to be part of your stupid hat club anyway.

goes and sobs in the corner

I, on the other tentacle, believe we should see more iconic critters fashionably dressed. Such as Kolo sporting full Rocketeer cosplay... Daji sporting a top hat, monocle, jaunty scarf, stylish vest, and swordcane... Biter nakkid but for a fez...

I would just like to say, that despite what rumors you may have heard, the times Daji has been seen wearing bipedal fashion accessories were all fully consensual.

This sexuality discussion could be resolved if the Iconics get together and Feiya spams Misfortune > Evil Eye > Cackle > Unnatural Lust on everyone and sees who makes their saving throw.

I don't think I would even need to bother with hexing.

Then records the zany fun on some crystal ball or whatever.

What happens between iconics, stays between iconics.

Feiya - rejected her evil cult upbringing of almost certainly lesbian Hags (Hags as in game race, not homosexual slur) and is a genuinely lovely person. She does wear those thigh-high stockings for a reason. Straight. A bit clingy.

Or, living with faces of pure evil teaches you to take advantage of love and a warm comforting body where and when you find it.

True, however, she was born in the Land of the Linnorm Kings and raised by Irrisen Hags.

Which definitely endeared me to the Ulfen and Irrisen clothing styles and cultural practices. Where one is physically from matters very little. Its where one is going.

Dress for the job you want, not the one you used to have.

I find it slightly unsettling, Feiya, that your cold weather gear appears to be made of fox fur...and that your familiar is nowhere in sight in that image

Feiya, what the hell?! D:

It's not. I swear. Daji is fine.

>.>

<.<

I'd also rather we got more situational clothing for them, along the lines of Arctic Action Kyra in People of the North.

Did you see my cold weather gear, too?

/shamelessly shows off

My question is, do these characters need an art update to dress them more "realistically" for the Golarion setting?

I can't speak for all of the other iconics, but I am personally quite happy with the fashion choices I am usually depicted in. There's room for lots of different types of clothing options and I would rather see a wide spread of different looks going forward on new iconics than retconning older art.

She makes a great female spellcaster player character,

Heck yeah I do!!!

and her dark blue color scheme makes her a perfect proxy for an enemy mystic.

I'm going to choose to take that as a compliment.

so we simply had to include Feiya's fox familiar, Daji, in the Reign of Winter set.

much wow. superb detail. so cute.

I have some catching up to do, but I came across this today and just had to share: WOW. Love it!

Let's be honest.

Alain's there to have horrible horrible things happen to him. Every issue.

we can only hope

Nothing too horrible. Alain does have some redeeming characteristics.

Do you enjoy explosives as much as your magical and mundane fire?

I like fire better. Its a bit more stable. But explosives in a controlled manner can be very very useful. They are a tool, and one I am happy to let the experts (like a good alchemist) handle.

What do you think of alchemists?

Pretty impressive usually. Those mutagens and potions and bombs are crazy awesome! Its a bit annoying how they get distracted every time you run across alchemical equipment on an adventure and then everyone has to stop and wait for the alchemist to poke around and see whats useful and add 30lbs of test tubes and flasks and strange colored liquids to the pack mule.
