017. when does your character think that violence is justified or deserved ?
unsurprisingly based on what we see in canon , ysayle is of the mind that the ends justify the means when it comes to violence in some situations . she was not afraid to harm or kill ishgardians in the name of her cause , to do things that might kill ishgardians indirectly && she expected the dragons to kill soldiers in their vengeance ;; a toll she felt was rightly deserved up to a point .
she is not blood-thirsty however && takes no joy in killing anything , nor causing any to suffer needlessly . every death by her hands was one she either felt necessary for the sake of ending the dragonsong war , or beyond her control . her decision to harness the power of shiva , i believe , was in part because she wanted the strength to make notable change && have the power to prevent more deaths through that agency . civilians especially , deserve to be spared the horrors of war whenever possible , because at the very least soldiers know what to expect of their dangerous work .
so simply put , ysayle believes violence to be justified in the name of over-arching peace or self-defense/survival && believes it to be deserved by those who would senselessly enact violence on others .
030. do they believe in the afterlife ?
she did , for the time that she believed she was channeling the spirit of shiva herself , for that spirit would have to have come from somewhere && an afterlife would be the logical conclusion for that . upon learning the truth about her summoning however , she is less-inclined to believe in such things . she is quite agnostic about the concept overall , seeing no strong reasons to believe in an afterlife , but also not denying that it is possible .
350. super secret question #350 which was not on the list : does marshmallow love taco ?
yes with all their heart .
012. what makes your character embarrassed ?
ysayle is easily embarrassed by all manner of things && sentiments && gestures . she is simply not accustomed to receiving praise , or compliments , or gestures of affection , or being teased or what have you . she is very easy to fluster at this point , but will grow more accustomed to the simple realities of having people grow close to her in time . she just needs some time to adjust to having any sort of social life && relationships .
023. what do they consider beautiful in others physically ?
ahhh anything !! everything !! ysayle is decidedly demisexual , which means she doesn’t experience any sexual attraction to others until she becomes closer to them in other ways , but she can still appreciate the aesthetic appeal of anybody && wow ! does she love what makes people unique , whether it’s a particularly sharp bridge of the nose or particularly piercing eyes or elegant fingers or anything !! && you can bet that she will meticulously study && appreciate everything about the body of anybody she takes as a proper lover .
001. when is their birthday ?
twenty-ninth sun of the first astral moon ( january 28th for us , she’s an aquarius ! )
100. does your character dream ? if so, what do they dream about ?
i think that until recently , most of ysayle’s dreams were unfortunately night terrors brought on by her PTSD && survivor’s guilt following the death of her loved ones as a child . it would make her all the more steadfast in seeing an end to the dragonsong war so that none would have to experience the same that she did during her waking hours . other than that however , she dreamed of shiva && hraesvelgr , as well as visions granted to her by the echo .
now that things are slowly && steadily beginning to change && she is not living in such precarious situations , she will begin to have less night terrors over time . a more peaceful life will do her sleeping habits a great deal of good .
057. has your character ever killed anyone ?
yes , she would not expect her followers to be willing to put their lives on the line if she were not as well . there are more than a few ishgardian soldiers who lost their lives at the hand of lady iceheart && that contributed to her notoriety .
however , as mentioned earlier she finds no joy in taking the lives of others nor in their suffering && with an unsteady peace having been found in ishgard , she would be content to never have to do so again if possible .
