12. How patient is your OC? How hot-headed are they?

It really depends on how she is feeling during the day. She likes to pick at people and is rather good at containing her own. When it comes to her work or magic or illusions she can get really angry really fast if the stage crew and staff don’t do things properly. If it comes to like, being picked at she is really good at holding her own and not being pissy. In general however, she really doesn’t like to wait for things, and she hates like being stuck in traffic and things like that but she is able to handle and deal with it.

24. What is their outlook on life? What is their philosophy / what do they think in general about living?

100% Lives by the philosophy of carpe diem and seizing the day. Faye loves her life at the current point just before being pulled into everything. She has all the things she has dreamed of and is content doing what she loves. She loves being able to try different foods, to show people what a little bit of magic and not being able to understand things can do. She lives in the world she wants and really in the one she creates for herself. Sometimes she gets lonely because Faye has little to no friends but she is okay with that. Life is full of magic itself for her and Faye rolls with it and the punches she just has an advantage because of her powers and sometimes she is gonna use that and whatever else she can. Life is for living in her eyes, if you follow a pattern or an outline or a schedule are you really living for yourself?

44. How does your character react/ accept criticism?

Oh god. This ties into the patience thing. It really depends on what the criticism is on, if it is on her work oh my god be ready for a verbal smackdown. Faye puts everything, every fiber of her being into what she does. Faye loves magic, and she does everything to keep her secrets and to make her shows appealing to everyone. But, you know how it goes, you can never please everyone, so she does have that stigma of not taking criticism well but it is from a place of her doing everything in her power to make her shows good because she loves what she does so much. When it comes to everything else she can kind of be sassy back to whoever is giving her criticism and see if she likes what they are suggesting or not because she knows she isn’t going to nail everything or be completely perfect in every single way. She combats things with sarcasm if it is a little touchy but aside from her work Faye has no issues taking constructive criticism, if it is mean criticism though, again get ready for a verbal smackdown lmao.

I answered 30 here ! but here are the other two !!!! I did put them under a cut because it got a bit lengthy lmao

If you were to pick one song — and only one song — to describe your character, what would it be and why?

This was surprisingly easy for me ???? Season of the Witch specifically by Lana Del Rey. I like this version because it is beautiful but a twinge unsettling at the same time and that kind of fits Faye in personality. She is beautiful she is known by so many people because of her magic but the things she does the feats she pulls off that other magicians can’t is unsettling. She has definitely had critics and people call her a witch and that term followed her pretty heavily in the second season arc given how I wrote that out. The lyrics also kind of speak to me on a level of her. Specifically because at times during that year she was with her dad after her mother's death the line for her of what was real and what she doing got so blurry even for her that it kind of threw off everything for her. Additionally this specific version really vibes with like that vintage kind of magic feel which is the aesthetic Faye has so because of that I also think it is a great pick. The song talks a lot about paranoia and paranormal occurrences and it touches on a dark and foreboding atmosphere and Lana’s version of it makes it a little more vibey in the sense like when I heard it I saw in my head exact things I could see Faye do in relation to the show because of the role I see her playing in it if she were real and that is super duper cool. 

Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?

Faye honestly doesn’t contemplate morality and death much. Her only relationship with it is when her mother died and she never got a chance to mourn her because she had to create an illusion of her for a year. If anything she just kind of ignores the fact that death exists. Even in her attempt to offer the Hargreeves condolences was met with literally running into a fight and kind of just shrugging off why she was there and making jokes about magic when she was asked. It’s not that she is afraid of death but that the concept isn’t something that she wants to touch because she didn’t get that luxury so like, yeah it didn’t happen right. In fact it is more of like a denial thing, she refuses to even talk about her mother and when she does it is in a complete and utter full breakdown emotionally. It’s just a hard concept for her to grasp too because like, in a sense where Klaus sees Ben, Faye can make someone she loves an illusion and pretend they are still around and she has done that before. As for regrets, that is one of them. She regrets in life is letting down her mother by using her powers how she did during that time, and then using them to lie and cheat and get herself out of a bad situation and now to make money off of people. In a sense sometimes she just regrets existing because of the choices she has made. But, I think the biggest regret she has is doing that illusion of her mother for so long because of the psychological effect it had on her father and the fact it destroyed their relationship to the point of it not being able to be repaired ever because of what he said when she put an end to it.

all i want is faye to argue with someone about magic and magicians so she can scream about her favourite magicians and then do a card trick to prove a point lmao

@spatialwarpd​​  said: 30. If your character was forced to eat one thing for the rest of their life, what would they choose and why?

Faye has been to a lot of different places for her job, it has exposed her to a lot of different types of food and it is always hard for her to pick a singular food item she loves the most. At the end of the day she is a big foodie and thinks that food speaks volumes about whoever makes it. That being said she also believes firmly in the food being the way to the heart saying because honestly if you want her to be your friend just buy her something to eat. But, if she had to pick one thing, she would fall back on to bread. Simply because there is such a variety of it and that changes constantly how it tastes or how it makes you feel. A sourdough bread can bring her back to a time in her life when she was young and her mother made that and soup on rainy days for everyone or, an airy ciabatta bread that she uses for her breakfast sandwiches. Aside from that you can put so many different things on bread that it wouldn’t get boring and its relatively filling. Bread just honestly makes her happy and she would be lying if she denies any claims about her being that kid who in high school in the middle of the night would just eat like two slices of bread because she wanted a snack or food. While it would probably be the death of her eventually, a girl loves her god damn b r e a d.
