▸ WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MUSE’S BAD HABITS?
Drinking. She starts drinking in high school, when she’s about 15, to help her cope with her empathy. She doesn’t stop or slow down until she’s in her mid-twenties.
She bottles up her emotions. She doesn’t want to bother people about her own issues because she figures that people are dealing with more important things. So, she doesn’t talk about her emotions or her issues to anyone.
She’s a giver. Which is nice and all but it consumes her sometimes. She wants people around her to be happy and content because that means she can be happy and content. So she helps people. Gives them what they need to the point of her being left emotionally, mentally and physically drained.
▸ HAS YOUR MUSE LOST ANYONE CLOSE TO THEM? HOW HAS IT AFFECTED THEM?
Depends on the verse really. In the unchanged future where her mother dies, Melinda kinda breaks down. It’s too much emotionally for her and she further retreats into herself. She doesn’t let anyone in and she tries to distract herself from it.
So, that’s basically how she would react if she lost anyone. Bottle up those emotions and distract herself with dance, X-Files or something else that can occupy her time.
▸ WHAT ARE SOME FOND MEMORIES YOUR MUSE HAS?
sleepovers with her family, family dinners and birthdays, the first time she went to the ballet, the first time she wore her tutu or her pointe shoes. cooking with her mother.
▸ IS IT EASY FOR YOUR MUSE TO KILL?
No. Not in the slightest. She can literally feel it. The pain and fear and other emotions. It overwhelms her to the point of her being sick. She hates killing or vanquishing demons.
▸ WHAT’S IT LIKE WHEN YOUR MUSE BREAKS DOWN?
silent tears. shaking. she’s literally shaking and vibrating with the emotions that have finally overwhelmed her. she likes to lock herself in her bathroom when this happens. she doesn’t want to be around people because she doesn’t want to accidentally manipulate their emotions. so she hides away, cries silently and tries to bring herself back together.
▸ IS YOUR MUSE CAPABLE OF TRUSTING SOMEONE WITH THEIR LIFE?
honestly no. like if it’s family then yes perhaps but other than that no. she wants to believe that people are good and kind and she can trust them but due to her empathy she knows that isn’t true. all she needs is to feel that little inkling of doubt coming from someone that will change her mind. she wants to trust people but she knows better.
▸ WHAT’S YOUR MUSE LIKE WHEN THEY’RE IN LOVE?
even more awkward than she already is. she’s in shock a good chunk of the time because ‘wow this girl loves me’ and she can’t believe it. being a giver by nature she is going to do what she has to do to make sure that her girlfriend is happy. so she enjoys surprising them with back goods, random sweet text messages and stuff like that. she’s sickeningly sweet and awkward. but !! there’s always this underlying fear that the love she feels radiating from her girlfriend can fade any minute and she’ll be able to feel it.
