oh boy, I actually can write about this! I do have some (numerous, actually) and I'll expand on that in a moment, I just need to get something done first.
We gon' start with Renit and Tuai
well okay I went away without posting this, I'm so smart actually /sarcasm
Renit and Tuai are sorta front-siblings (imagine it like frontmen but not that) as some of the most well known and charismatic siblings in the village, which comes with being a kid from a very essential store like a bakery.
Both kids are pretty adept at baking, an expected skill to have developed for just about anyone who had grown up in a baking family, but they are first and foremost endearing siblings who sell or provide bread, cakes and other baked goods to the visitors. They aren't really expected to help with the work, being allowed to be children whenever, but they both really enjoy just being wacky little guys running around with pastries and taking people's coins or goods. With very polarising personalities, they still compliment each other really well and that appears to
sell.
Renit is a charming oddball who has very little filter and knows just about anything about various types of grain, dirt, foreign currencies and insects, whom he loves to study, but he is far from a troublemaker. Tuai on the other hand is sweet, kind and mostly helpful, but is not afraid to insult just about any customer who arrives with a biased attitude, and then shoo them out with her ever-trusty oven peel if they do not cease. She is there to handle Renit and remove him from the premise if he starts weirding out foreign guests who are not accustomed to his ways, either by gentle persuasion or by force, latter of which is used only if he's being a menace, such as stealing people's coins that he claims "he doesn't have yet!"
Tuai very clearly cares about Renit, and the feelings are shared the other way around. Tuai has no trouble standing up for her few-month younger brother and will fiercly protect him from any hostilities. It's just that she knows that sometimes stealing those coins is a really bad idea...at that moment in time! She can help him a bit later, such as while the customers are focused on the history of pyramidion-style cakes explained to them by Neb Qebh in painful detail.
Tuai is most often seen wearing colourful and nicely embroidered dresses, tunics, chitons and himations, all of which she deems "very cute, comfortable and lovely", because that is the primary and honestly only important aspect of anyone's clothing choice. Renit, however, wears just about anything he can get his hands on, once even donning a hemp sack while his kilt was still drying on the clothing line, and running outside to catch that big grasshopper he had spotted, despite Betshet and Tuai's pleas to wait just a little while. Despite either of the kids' tastes in fashion, neither are afraid to get their hands and clothes dirty in some mud to catch those bugs or find some cool rocks because, after all, they are still just kids.
Little pause...... *fist pump* yesssss, wrote down some lore <3
The aforementioned Neb Qebh and Agebsen are brothers bonded by blood, while Tchef is their cousin. Both brothers are bakers and fairly similar in build and personality, but each with their own little quirks and differences. Neb Qebh and his wife Betshet work at the large, field-surrounded bakery on the eastern side of the village down the stream, Sekhet Sanhemu, while Agebsen has another, slightly smaller bakery on the western side of the village up the stream*, Sekhet Uatchu. Agebsen does not work with Qebh, but instead works with their cousin, Tchef, whose expertise is brewing beer and making wine. Regardless of them living on other sides of the village and with their own work to do, they visit each other almost daily to either help with the work or just to sit in the fields in the shade of palm trees and pomegranates to talk about the daily goings-on.
Neb Qebh and Betshet are the adoptive parents and caretakers of Renit and Tuai, both of whom they love indiscriminately. While Betshet is the more rational one, Qebh is somewhat of a silly and laidback lad who loves assisting the kids with their daily schemes and interests. Even though they have two horses and a camel, Qebh never managed to get used to riding, so Tchet and Agebsen are usually the ones riding over to Sekhet Sanhemu and not the other way around. Betshet is much more skilled than Qebh and he is not embarrassed or scared to admit it. "My feet are made to be firmly on the ground, not hoisted by the buttocks", as he sometimes says.
Agebsen is a bit taller and more solidly built compared to his slightly older brother, but they are still fairly similar to each other. Tchet on the other hand is a bit more lightly and athletically built, as lifting barrels and amphorae ain't easy work. They all have fairly similar fashion styles, most often wearing comfortable kilts and some form of head cover to protect their heads from the midday sun's rays, however there are some differences. Qebh prefers to wear some forms of simple vests, blouses and undershirts, Agebsen is fond of clothing pieces and accessories with plant motifs, such as bracelets with grapes or earring and frill decorations with vines, while Tchet is the fanciest of them all, showing off a wide array of colourful, vibrant fabrics and lots of fancy jewellery, an example being jewel-adorned head wraps.
The entire trio of the Bogsneak lads are a wacky but wholly beloved and cherished family.
*pls keep in mind that in my lore, due to the visions I had, Sornieth spins in the opposite direction around its axis, east being the sundown direction and west being the sunrise direction. No it doesn't, what the hell am I talking about, the normal template checks out?
OH IT'S BECAUSE I REALISED I WAS ON THE WESTERN SIDE INSTEAD OF THE EASTERN *facepalms* The rotational direction of Sornieth is the same as that of Earth's
I'm on a roll, I might expand further tomorrow!
