26, 28, 45 for ash 🥺

26. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions?

Ash does not hide their emotions at all; it is good to love and to live! It is good to be sad, it is good to have fear, for it means that you are living. They have very deep laugh lines and have, in the past, gone about their work while humming simple songs (songs that their patients would be familiar with). It has been a while since they've smiled, though.

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?

Ash does not fear death nor pain. They do not fear what others can do to them, for they have trust that what occurs is what ought to. Ash's biggest fear is that they refuse a call for help in any way, that they will one day fail someone that needs them.

45. How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves?

Ash is the Bishop of Uberta Cathedral, baptized in the light of the first ray of day, and the ultimate religious authority to whom the city looks. They do not think of themself as Bishop Ash; to themself, they are Ash: a healer.

7 and 28 for elliot ⚡️

7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood?

Elliot was very social as a child and continues to be so! He doesn’t think much of most of his childhood friends, beyond wondering if they’re still alive. There have been a few skirmishes with Agricola since they enlisted, and it’s not like he’d know their fate. He more often thinks of his friends who remained at home, safe. He hopes that they forgot him.

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?

Elliot is scared, more than anything, of killing someone accidentally. He has killed on purpose and he enjoyed doing it. He fears the day he loses control in the wrong moment and someone he cares about dies because of it. There’s a lot of things Elliot is afraid of. He’s scared of the war, he’s scared of going to Floaroma, and he’s scared of staying in Uberta. He’s scared of what will happen to him and his sister. He’s scared of losing his sister. When Elliot is scared, he runs as far away as he can. If he can no longer run, he fights whatever’s stopping him from running.

8 for toshi, furtiva, and conall

8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals?

Toshi

Toshi was never a child. They find animals strange, but are oddly curious about them. They would have a goldfish.

Furtiva

Furtiva is a noble from a minor family, who had horses for transport and likely some dogs for hunting, but never a pet of her own. Her work doesn’t go easily with having a pet, but if she would have any type of pet it would be a small dog. She likes most animals though; they’re not anyone you have to hide anything from.

Conall

Conall was a druid and, while he thought of himself a botanist, animals are a part of the desert. He likes and respects them because they exist in the place that was theirs. They did not keep pets as an adult nor as a child; animals ought to be free.

3, 27 for Toshi?

3. is your character more articulate in their thoughts than their words? if yes, do they do anything about that? do they care?

Yes. They did not learn to project their thoughts as speech for a long time, and even now still stumble over some verbalizations. They do not care.

27. do they write often? why/what about?

Toshi only writes as their job requires it, with reports and the like. They have never written for themself or their own pleasure.

[simultaneouseffects]

sabin 9, alphonse 41

9. if someone gave them flowers, what would they do with them?

Sabin would be torn. She values gifts and would probably cherish them a lot, but she would also mourn the fact that they were picked at all. If it were a bouquet, she would try and see if they could be planted or transplanted somewhere. If a pot, she would bring it with her, cultivating it a little bit every day.

41. what’s the silliest thing they’ve used magic to do? if they don’t have magic, what’s something silly they’d use it for if they did?

When he was a child, Alphonse would use prestidigitation to prank people or just generally be silly: soiling clothes, creating smells, etc. This continued well beyond the point where he was told to no longer do magic in public, for it wasn't safe. Near the beginning of the war he visited Rhest with his father and finally learned what he escaped. After that, he only did magic to try and save his own life.

[simultaneouseffects]

12 19 39 for furtiva!

12. what color would they paint their room? would there be a design on the ceiling?

She'd paint her room a neutral tone, but something bright. There wouldn't be a design on the ceiling, but it would be painted white.

19. do they see patterns in the world around them? do they point them out to people?

She sees patterns in people, in places, in events, and in nature. She doesn't share them with anyone else because it gives her an advantage not to. Even Fásach, there's things she doesn't share with him.

39. do they keep working even when their wrists start to cramp? if they do, do they give themselves a break when the work is done?

When she's alone, Furtiva pauses her work when it becomes painful, but she doesn't stop to wait for it to heal. She wraps a bandage around the irritated spot or dips her hands in cold water for just a moment before going back to work. Only when it's done, when it's finished, does she allow herself respite. Fásach's presence removes this tendency, somewhat. They're healthier when he's around.

[simultaneouseffects]

elliot 28, 31, 32

28. if they can fly, how do they feel in the moment their feet touch the ground again?

Impotence and restraint. His own weight burdening him again, as well as the fear of reality.

31. did they climb all over/onto things as a kid?

Oh, absolutely. There was little he wouldn't climb. He'd fall down a lot, too: he certainly wasn't careful. His knees and elbows were covered in bruises and scrapes, but when Mama died, he stopped doing it as often. He didn't want to worry Cerise.

32. can they play darts? would they?

I think this question sucks, but I'll answer it anyway. Elliot wouldn't be good at darts because he doesn't have the hand-eye-coordination for it. However, one game he would be great at is Uno.

[simultaneouseffects]

3, 6, 13 for nephele my bestie nephele 🥺

wow really going for it huh.

3. is your character more articulate in their thoughts than their words? if yes, do they do anything about that? do they care?

Nephele is quite articulate in her thoughts; she's a wizard, after all. I don't think she's very good with people, though. She has her books and she has her notes: what more does she need? She knows that she'll need to fix this, though, if she wants to get anywhere. Wizards belong in politics, and you certainly need words in politics.

6. do they usually sleep in a certain pose? does it change?

Nephele sleeps curled up in a ball, arms wrapped around her knees. She clenches her jaw tightly when she sleeps and has a hard time falling asleep.

13. what helps them fall asleep when they’re having trouble doing so?

When she can't sleep, Nephele gets up and studies until exhaustion takes her. It's wartime; she can't afford to sit in bed, doing nothing. Archmage Sparrow Citrion is dead, having left an inept apprentice in her place. She needs to fix that. Salvia often finds her passed out at her desk, the wax overflowing from the candleholder.

[simultaneouseffects]

18 conall

18. would they sing a lullaby, if the opportunity arose?

Conall didn't sing much, if ever. They weren't a very musical person. The spirits don't sing. He knew the traditions of the desert, but was the Stormspeaker, not a bard.

[simultaneouseffects]

kala 10, 22, 39 🥺

10. would they sneak out at night to look at the sky? how long would they stay there looking?

Ah. Mancow. I... no, she doesn't anymore. She used to sneak out to climb a tree and look at the night sky! It puts her own existence in perspective, just how small she is. Things aren't so difficult when you look at it like that. She used to fall asleep out there and wake up with the sun, but no one would allow the Crown Princess, only heir to the throne, to sleep in a tree unguarded. She sleeps in a guarded room now, with shut windows. It's wartime in a world of magic and subterfuge.

22. when they speak, do they have a default tone of voice? if yes, do they try to change it? why?

Kala has Her Voice and she has a Princess Voice. She uses the latter more often than the former, now. Only one feels like hers.

39. do they keep working even when their wrists start to cramp? if they do, do they give themselves a break when the work is done?

She does. Her wrists are sore, but she has work to do. She has more responsibilities now. There's little time for breaks.

[simultaneouseffects]

all of them for vina or i guess like idk 5, 13, 15, 22, 29 or like one or two out of those

SO TRUE BANGBANG!

5. if they wear any, how does your character go about applying makeup? (methodically, nervously, messily, etc)

It's a mask. It's methodical and done in the morning every day like clockwork. She's Queen Vina of House Amara when she has makeup on, she can be Vina at night when she takes it off. She could have servants do it, but she does it herself. Always.

13. what helps them fall asleep when they’re having trouble doing so?

She has Sico, and Sico has her. She sleeps well whenever they're safe and healthy. There are nights that she worries, though, and she hums to herself when that happens. Little lullabies and childhood memories help calm her when the court politics become too much: remembering a quiet, idealized cottage in the woods.

29. if they wear any, where did they get their jewelry?

Vina wears different jewelry every day to match her outfits. It's part of the mask, after all. She has a single silver ring, though—a simple band easily hidden amongst the rest—that was her mother's. She doesn't take that off.
