SENSES & OTHER SPECIFIC HEADCANONS.
what does your muse smell like?
Maria uses Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red Eau de Parfum as her perfume, and she does pop some on in the morning before she leaves. She uses cocoa butter on her skin and she shampoos/conditions with apple or coconut scented stuff.
By the end of the day though, depending where she's been working, there's a mix of perfume, the sort of musty robust smell of old books and pages and tea or coffee. It sort of lingers in her hair especially.
what do your muse’s hands feel like?
Soft, even her scars are soft. She moisturizes them a few times a day, often after washing them. Sometimes moisturizing them is also a soothing thing.
what does your muse usually eat in a day?
Breakfast is often toast or cereal, if it's toast it's buttered often with strawberry jam. If it's cereal it's granola. Maria rarely has a fry up or anything massively heavy but she will treat herself to eggs in the morning sometimes.
Lunch it often depends, it depends if she remembers, if she's not caught up in her work and it depends if she's at work or at home and whether she has company. If she's at work and remembers it's often a sandwich from a local deli. If she's at home it depends what's in the fridge and what she feels like, sometimes she might just have a pastry or cake.
Dinner it also depends Maria is a big fan of Italian and it's her go to comfort food over anything else, so in the evening it usually is something Italian themed or based. She's a big fan of Southern European Cuisine in general to be honest. However she also loves fish and chips from a good British chippy.
does your muse have a good singing voice?
She does! Maria has quite an old fashioned voice, she likes to sing a lot of old things and show tunes and her voice sounds a bit Vera Lynn and a bit like some of the older disney princess singing voices.
does your muse have any bad habits or nervous tics?
Maria tends to babble when she's nervous, she over explains, she just rambles on until someone stops her. She's always done this since she was a kid.
Two things that came after everything that happened to her, was flexing her hand, flexing it into a fist when she's anxious and there's another one where she moves her thumb around her first finger repeatedly.
what does your muse usually look like/wear?
Dresses, Maria's always been a girl big on dresses, she's always loved them and she wears them mostly on a daily bases. At home she wears dresses too, it might just be a different type.
She tends to dress in seasons though and winter/autumn is mostly jeans and big jumpers or shirts and big jumpers at home. Summer it's dresses and very occasionally shorts.
is your muse affectionate? how much? how so?
Very very much so, Maria comes from a long line of very affectionate people and once she knows you/is friends with you she can be very tactile (where allowed), even if the person isn't the sort who likes being tactile, Maria will show her affection in other ways, remembering things, buying things, doing lots of little things for others. Maria cares very deeply about people, about their well being and about their happiness and she does the best she can to help people.
what position does your muse sleep in?
On her own she sleeps facing the door, often with her arm around a pillow or blanket and her legs sort of splayed out a bit. There's usually a book either somewhere on the bed or it's dropped on the floor.
If she's with someone cuddling probably, whether she's the big spoon or little spoon it doesn't matter.
could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room?
Not really, maybe music, singing, laughing but not anger or anything. Maria is quite quiet when she's angry, it feels dangerous and scary when Maria's angry with you or disappointed. There's this look she gets on her face that is terrifying.
