Hey there Arcus! ^^

A few long month ago on your driver's talk page, we agreed on the potential of having our Ozian OCs aware of each other in our Ozian OC-related 'verses. Your newest character, Sophronisca, caught my eye in particular and I really love what you've written of her so far.

On the flipside, I may or may have found a kink to our OC-alliance as far as she goes: Sometime earlier I had made another scarecrow successor, Barley. *-*

On one hand I'd still love to collaborate with you and your Ozian characters, and Soph seems like a great character from what I can see. On the other, there might be something of a contradiction of them staying in the same verse, depending on interpretation? I may or may not have a few ideas that could make it possible, however. That being said, if you don't agree with either of them and you'd rather call off our characters knowing each other, that's fine as well:


 * We could work with two alternate verses of sorts: One where Sophronisca is the next Scarecrow, and the other where Barley is meant to take his place. Everything would be exactly the same, just with a different scarecrow OC in each one.


 * Another option that popped in my head was that they could exist in the same 'verse, though it'd have to involve some in-depth discussion in order to make it work. From what's been documented of Soph so far (and from what I vaguely remember of you mentioning her concept in the wikia's chatroom - I must have spacing out a bit since I hadn't pointed this out earlier), she's living with the Scarecrow and was raised by him as her father, correct? In Barley's case, he was constructed by the descendants of the farmers who had made the Scarecrow before him, and so far has been raised one of the farmers in question (well, if being tied up to a post half the time counts as being "raised").

Unless you intended for Soph to be made by those farmers (though it could work even then, idk), it could be possible that both of them had been made at different points in time, and that while Barley might have gotten an admission letter to attend Ever After High completely out of the blue, it'd make obvious sense for Soph to attend EAH as she is the Scarecrow's daughter. What if there was a mistake regarding admission and who would take who's place as a result of both of them meeting certain successor related requirements (Soph being intelligent and Barley being used as a scarecrow on the same land the last scarecrow resided)?

I'm not sure if I've made much sense regarding the second proposal, though, and again you have every right to reject it. I was partially suggesting it because both of our Scarecrow students could potentially compliment each other: Sophronisca being a proud, intelligent young woman who's known to be vain and definitely has her fumbles here and there, and Barley being a naive optimist who's pretty ignorant as a result of his isolation, but nonetheless loves to learn and can be knowledgeable when least expected. I think it'd be interesting to see the two interact, even if their upbringings combined might be harder to work alongside each other in the same canon.

As said before, it's really your decision and I'm alright with any rejections/further discussion on the subject. you did propose that our characters could be in league after all, and I'm all ears. :3
