Balthazar: It's a spoiler cuz it's in an upcoming comic... but it was a Dumb Thing To Do
Lars: Tried to walk out of a store without paying because he was used to a servant doing it for him and didn't realize he actually needed to do it himself after joining the army.
Elise: Threw a book? Or something? At Klaus in a fit of anger and scarred his brow. Rly dumb. She doesn't throw things anymore.

This question is really hard lmao, I wanted to do something fun and silly but wh oops -
Ever since the ash fever, she and Ilias had been taking care of Felix, Rayne’s son, but she was scared and nervous about how Rayne would react to being a father, so she didn’t tell him immediately, and at a point deliberately hid Felix from him, which really hecked some things up in their relationship weeps--//

THERE ARE SO MANY... Chooses from pre-alva days though afjkdajga
He had a brief phase in his life where he wanted to be a Slick McCool Assassin Anti-Hero... but like... VERY SPECIFICALLY the story book rose-tinted version of them. Steal for laughs! Make a fool of the bad guys! Cool mask! You can never catch me fööls-- Be THE primo Information Broker... this was way back before he got any Real experience so like... He used his baby magic (and completely legit Spy Moves) to break into his own house and 'steal' a precious family heirloom. Almost set off the manor's defense totems and grandad tackled him before he got far.
(Reaches at the still QA... he practiced for y--)
Charis took a salty nap in a field after a confrontation with someone to chill out... but like it was the noon summer sun. She definitely got sunburned and had a healer treat her, but for MONTHS she had a hand shape printed on her face because of it (her hand when she shielded her face mid nap). Source of many a jokes gkjdgkadg.

Elen: When she was little, Elen had the bright idea to "help" clean up her father's study while he was away, including trying to put away books by standing on the bookshelves. The whole study looked like a tornado had hit it when she was done.
Xander: Ate a corndog off the street to try and intimidate someone who looked at him wrong. He was sick for weeks, and hasn't touched any sort of breaded meat combo since.
Aya: When she was first learning how to be a maid, she accidentally used the wrong scrubbing brush for a whole row of formerly pristine candles that now had dozens of scratches. To try and hide it, she hid the offending candles in the back of the room and tossed a blanket on them.
Fen: Suplex greeting.

Tilia: .....She tried ninja (naruto-)running on the roofs before when she had just started her Robinhood Days. Needless to Say this did not give her optimal balance and she almost fell off a 3 story house.
Audrey: In a soiree that she attended when she was still newly introduced in high society, she didn't have a lot of friends so would resign herself to drinking tea in the background. Unintentionally started eavedropping on some ladies and after hearing a particularly hilarious piece of rumor, she spluttered and practically spat her drinking out. The only consulation was that it didn't come out of her nose.
Sarifee: During her tour, she had sprained her ankle pretty badly during rehearsal but didn't tell anyone. Performed despite the severity of it. It got so bad she wasn't allowed to dance for nearly a month
Virsche: While living in Estraude, despite being warned how spicy a curry stew was she ate it anyway thinking it couldn't be /that/ bad. It wasn't. It was so much worse.
Yunaly: When she was half asleep, while getting help from Vanathen with the morning preparations she accidentally called him "mom". She would take that secret with her to her grave.
Cecile: Almost everything she does is borderline stupid bUT UH. Holding onto poisonous plants by the fist full w/o checking if they're actually poisonous out of pure excitement at new Ingredients !!!
Dahlia: Because she usually makes so much extra food, one time she attempted to make it all into an "Everything Stew"- needless to say it gave her (and anyone she gave it to) stomach aches..... she has never done it since

Zeloph:
One time when he was a kid, there was this family of birds that nested in a tree at his grandmother’s house that he had been watching for a while and he noticed that the birds had laid some eggs!! So one day he waited until the parents had left and he climbed up into the tree and thought it would be fine and cool if he picked up one of the babies and took it home with him, except when he grabbed it it started SCREECHING SO LOUDLY and suddenly there were all these birds swooping and pecking at him while he was screaming and trying to run back inside. It was basically when Link gets swarmed with a bunch of cuccos.

Alek: That time he and Louise thought exploring a cave by the lake was a cool idea, only to abort their mission when a bear cub woke up, saw them and wanted to play and started making noises. Where there was a cub a mama bear was nearby. They haven’t told their parents about it and probably never will, but he has a little chuckle to himself when he sees the black bear insignia of Koben.
Also borrowingstealing that Cinden from the Mirian’s and using it against them, it worked out but doesn’t mean it was a shining example of forethought O|<
Noah: Indulged in a drinking competition with the first mate of the ship he was stationed with in his early navy days. It ended up being a blackout night and he woke up safely back in his bunk but received love notes for a few months from someone he’d apparently met, taken in a stray cat from the docks (who still lives with him as a grumpy geezer), and a few more piercings than he remembered having the day before.

Caleb: Was a bit too focused on scribbling down notes and drank from the ink bottle instead of his glass of water
Nora: When she was younger she would mix alchemical concoctions together and drink them to see what would happen. She stopped after one of them made her disgustingly sick for weeks
Blue: Gorged herself on a fuck ton of sweets and then got sick... She learned that moderation is key to enjoying candy

Seth
Ate the fruits off his silkberry plant
Kairi
Drank sea water the first time she went overseas, thinking all bodies of water were freshwater
Kamlai
Found out the hard way that you cannot, indeed, do henna art on your tongue and it tastes terrible
Hazel

Marcus
Accidentally buttslapped another Abbey member he mistook for Daniel. Didn’t have the guts to admit he made a mistake so he rolled with it and probably had to explain himself to Karmenie
Jovana
As a kid she tried to re-enact jousting with her cousins and got knocked out cold when one of the others jousted her instead of, yknow, the kid on her shoulders

Naevys: of course someone as composed and controlled has done many a stupid thing in her life to learn to be her current self hoho during her young hey days she loved to run into father's arms to welcome him home, and at the right height she once headbutted him in the valuables
Allie: man, what do you answer to that when your whole life is a copious series of stupid goofs. Like when she put her hand in the fire to check if it was truly Hot, and it is.
Yue: she once looked all over the clinic for her coat to go back home, until mentor pointed out she was already wearing it.

Airez: Accidentally picking up the wrong package and carried some smuggled gems during his trips in Linhythe.
Claretta: Almost sot one of her ex because she thought he was a deer or something.
Ernest: Back when Leslaw was a baby, tried to make him laugh but ended up getting some candy stuck to his hair.
Navin: Boarded a ship...
Mel: Marrying the first person that voiced their interest in her. She had some regrets afterward, but not a problem anymore.

Sarain: Once thought that cooking something at a really high temperature would get it done really quickly. Needless to say, her cooking skills are less than average.
Mae: In one of her ongoing wars with Diarmit, she set the toilet paper on fire after he'd gone into the bathroom to get back at him for having set it on the top shelf. She almost burned down the bathroom (with him in it) but they made up later by splitting a hearty, spicy, many-layered sandwich - as was the ending to most of their fights.
Turon: Flipped an entire canoe after a monkey fell out of a tree and landed on his head. He managed to save the monkey, but then had to spend hours fishing his things off the bottom of the river.
Vesper: Drank the holy water in the cathedral's fountain when they were thirsty, then sparkled innocently when the high priestess caught them

Andros: Getting salty, worked up, fighting his sister because he thinks he didn't deserve happiness and then bouncing back to Amedra.
Katherine: l o l
Owain: Literally every single time he's been into the wispwood and yet he keeps going back.
Carine: When she first got her armor, she put all of it on, got on her horse, fell off and was trapped by the awkward fall and the additional weight- she nearly suffocated in the hay over the course of an hour and to this day refuses to tell the nun who helped her up exactly how long she'd been like that.

Atticus: Decided to canter early on when he was learning bareback riding-- he took a horse who Loved to Run, fell off on a jump, and broke his arm and some ribs lmao. And once he was healed he got right back on. He's a lot better at riding now but he could've been more cautious about it for sure

[Evin Coreum]
When he was a teen back in Belport, he somehow got convinced to sneak into Valsk as a show of courage and capability. An elf, in Valsk? More likely than you think! More like more DEAD than you think, am I right--
-- Yeah, it was a really dumb decision, and had to escape very early into the attempt.

Cassair: Years ago when he was still New to human food, he ate an entire pound of pure butter, threw up and then was sick for a few days
Javed: Confessed that he was half dark elf at the height of the Kingdom's crackdown... years earlier he also didn't deny an accusation that he had dark elf blood and was briefly stoned (and concussed) by freaked-out villagers before Karmenie rescued him
Gwen: (sweats at the endless choices) A classic... while getting mobbed by hungry pigeons, she threw her coveted loaf of bread through a random open window and sent the entire flock into Caleb's study...
Jin: Punched a guy at the pub for spilling her drink 😔 Then proceeded to get into a fistfight, smash dramatically through the window, run out of steam and end up getting a new drink with him (it was Odvar) (becoming his friend was also a mistake)
Silvan: Ordered his own brother's death in a fit of anger and then was too prideful to take it back
Marise: Believed a story about a villager being possessed by Atros and thusly led all the kids to perform an 'exorcism'. Live chickens were too precious to sacrifice so they built the ritual around a boiled egg. In the end their effigy caught fire and they had to get the adults
Sunan: (sweats more) In their youth, went skinny-dipping in the harbour while drunk and got into a fight with a squid
Diarmit: While on the clock, he drank three cups of Madman's coffee, ate the shop's entire supply of olives while high, and then promptly got fired (along with all his workmates who dared him in the first place)
Ana: When she was a child, she made an extremely elaborate trap to catch a stray hollow spider who visited their yard regularly, only to discover the spider belonged to their neighbour (who was Not Pleased at this pet kidnapping)

Guen: Dating Spencer. HAHAHAHA probably just ignoring all of her mother’s advice during her rebellious teenage years (which resulted in dating Spencer amongst other things). Specific incident: accepting the challenge to brawl with Naila, the only other girl on the ship, when she had been relatively new to the life of pirating in order to prove her own capabilities… and pushing to continue the fight despite being obviously outmatched. Got her ass whooped but better to be a bad fighter than a quitter!!
Nina: In general is probably just too trusting and sympathetic for her own good… has probably on more than one occasion given away the contents of her purse to some poor soul in dire need. Good thing she gets an allowance from her mother…
Edrik: tried to teach his sisters magic when they had all been younger despite not being very well trained himself at the time. Part of the reason he became so devoted to his studies after because his sister lost control and hurt both him and herself in the process.
Tyr: asked Alis to marry him when she wasn’t ready and throwing a fit when he was turned down… tried to go bear wrestling to cheer himself up.
Klaus: UM … probably just not being discrete with his pursuit of common girls while at home. And then brushing his sisters off when they catch him in the act and scold him for it...

Blayne: IT’S ACTUALLY HARD TO THINK ABT FOR HIM SHDFGDISIK But I guess by Iadlish standards, trying to save a child during the first time Wispwood lashed out that one Harvest Eve??? (Thoughts: It’s his own fault his face looks like that now, he should just be glad he didn’t lose the whole eye, smh)... Otherwise the worst he’s done is keep postponing his (public) wedding when he really wanted to have it sooner :’)
Daeris: Running off to the kingdom wasn't so much the stupid thing, but running off to aid in the reclaiming of the North War (Retribution) when she really had nothing to do with their country was pretty dang foolish (esp bc she almost got killed from it LAUGHS)
Uruvion: he's done a lot of stupid things it's hard to pick just one but probably pilfering a whole chest of things from the Citadel of Crowns has to be his crowning idiotic achievement //looks at Mark of the Citadel plastered on his forehead as a reward
Moriel: eat a worm thinking it was a gummy worm-- She, too, has done many a foolish thing, but perhaps worst of all was taking a strong pain medication that she knew was for wounds because she noticed it was doing wonders for her emotional state back when she thought her mom and Cass both to be dead (Narrator Voice: It did no such wonders)
Seoras: try to, as a Dark Elf, live in the Kingdom for the rest of her life and also stay behind and oppose the Empire's armed forces at risk of getting captured full well knowing she'd be exposed for what she is and then continue to uphold that charade on a ship full of (more or less) "racist-towards-dark-elves" individuals //clown-emoji…. That or "pretend" to wear a dark elf "glamour" to prank everyone and also gauge their reactions, but it ended up getting her and a few others in trouble instead //pensive
Xanxas: HMM for him it's probably not when he went into Wispwood[Extreme], but when he kept trying to push himself and do tasks his body wasn't ready for while recovering from nearly dying in Wispwood[Extreme], ESPECIALLY when he tried saving Gigi in the old, uninhabitable parts of Iadlain City… Fuked up his stitches and got an infection then too just making everything worse smh
Ryanna: When she’s around Hani, when isn’t she doing something stupi-- But really the dumbest thing has to be literally anytime she’s ever decided to take on/out a big scale operation/assassination on her own; she always ends up way worse for wear and someone usually has to bail her out before she dies of blood loss or smth, smh hard headed //unamused
Ben: Run to the Imperial Navy to hide from a couple of smugglers and then proceed to stay there/return even after getting a get out of jail free card to return home and live peacefully in Cantor once Ryanna “rescued” him HBDFGDJ
Ianthe: Literally anytime she got mad at Rayne in her youth and fell victim to his baiting her that got her in more trouble than he was worth LMFAO--But more recently, when her big bro Cicero came down with the plague and he was to be sent off to quarantine she aggressively threw herself over him/his bed and refused to let people take him… Ended up quarantined for a bit herself until she was proven not infected, and then shut away at home with her other sibs until it all blew over.

Anya: a small teenage rebellion was going for a secret dragon ride without bro once she got tired of being treated like baby, ended up clinging to it for dear life once it got tired of her lukewarm (mis)handling (grounded herself out of guilt)
Bel: went...into the Wispwood /pensive (but has also used Herself as a lab rat before and good thing ur a healer bel
Circe: does everything she’s been doing until now coun- trying to stick her hand inside a dragon’s mouth to touch its tongue and examine its teeth

Aleksi: Slo head turns at Aleksi uh. His entire being is a series of poorly thought out antics, but he's got a laundry list from hopping onto ships without bothering to see where they're destined, to sneaking into secret criminal meetings just to see what's up.
Lorelei: She is generally a well put together sort but . Staying on Nisalvini while it sank was probably not the Wisest thing to do even if it all worked out in the end...
Teagan: Trying to acquire magical talent despite being born without it--she did many foolish rituals in the woods as a child in a desperate attempt to spark any sort of ability, and she's honestly pretty lucky nothing horrible happened to her.
Camille: Taking the Oath and running off to war as a smol and fragile babbin was not the most well thought out plan.
Ninny: Believed when the village kids told them they needed to sleep in a tub of water to make sure they grew big and strong.
Helena: She did a lot of stupid things as a teenager/young adult, such as chugging a bottle of hard liquor to prove she Could. The resulting mayhem and hangover has sworn her off of spirits and she now drinks only the finest of sophisticated wine.
Lilian: He broke his glasses when Nisalvini sank and was so depressed that he tried to fix them with Limited Resources and let's just say they got glued to his face for a week.
Daelan: The entire existence of the hot dog gun is somewhat questionable, to be honest.

Ponzi:

- ratting out a pirate on uru's ship they often hitchhiked with for $$, for some reason still traveling with the crew after the fact, getting their eye yoinked out in revenge, decades later the pirate busted out of jail and sank uru's ship and uru, they got put in pirate jail, i think ara helped them bust out ty ara, did this all rly happen,
- suddenly decide Work Was So Important for the first time in their life while the apocalypse was apocalyps-ing and ditch gigi in iadlain as they fucked off to tusa, reluir, and linhythe bc they didn't know what 2 do about a crush
Gigi:
- fell in love with owain
- fell in love with ponzi
Oryad:
- leave his deserted island
Roz:
- Rozene Malveaux Does Not Do Stupid Things
- but probably staying in the military and getting enveloped in war!!

Lucrezia: Not counting stupid dares/bets and general tomfoolery, probably when she tried to overthrow the new Iadlain leader with some other soldiers despite the fact that she was a) not from Iadlain and b) Iadlain has a really messy past with the Empire trying to assert more power over it than they'd prefer. It only didn't go down in an entire coup because the other guy died as well

Looks into the distance at all my charas
Stitches: At the Emerald masquerade days he was so distracted by a wood elven lass' booby cleavage he paid like two gold pieces or whatever for her run-of-the-mill souvenir trinkets for Lissa (thx for judging him appropriately Aleksi)
Eoghan: When is he not tho– every interaction he's had–) hmm... he confessed to Lorelei before Ambition but ran away in embarrassment when she was flustered and didn't respond, and then Judah somehow wound up as the middleman to their shoko (sorry judad
Ailbhennis: They got on the wrong ship once while travelling and then disembarked early in an unfamiliar place because they felt too awkward around the other passengers to stay on (cue chain reaction of unfortunate events
Liam: During his first time assisting with a church charity function in youth, he mixed a bunch of laxative herbs and powders into the soup rather than spices (in his shaky defense, they Looked the Same) and gave half the poor villagers there the runs
Leith: In his idealistic templar years he wanted to deal with a local case Diplomatically™ with Chivalry™ and then he got shot up with arrows
Laverne: Said terrible things he didn't mean in his 40's once; a century later he still hasn't remedied the situation. Elves. no sense of time
Rosie: WORKING WITH PIERS
Weedy: Gestures at her entirety – literally the first time she laid someone to rest was through accidental overdose. HER INTENTIONS ARE GOOD her actions are mind-numbingly not
