what items can be found in your muse’s pockets?

In her uniform pockets? Not a lot. Not designed for carrying much around.

Casually dressed?

Her phone, whatever yen / gil ( dependent on the timeline ) she has on her, ID ( be that a Kingslaive issued ID or her hunter’s tags whenever she’s not actually wearing them, that’s something that’s also dependent on the timeline ), and that’s about it.

The girl travels light!

how your muse responds to being helped / taken care of.

I’mma start with younger Crowe. She’s not really the type to actively seek help or to ask for help in looking after herself — it’s something to speak to her childhood; she was very much alone for most of it, she learned how to fend for herself, stand on her own two feet. So in terms of accepting help, it’s not something that initially comes easily to her, she would much prefer to take care of things on her own. Battlefield injury? No worries, just give her the kit and the gauze and she’ll make an attempt to patch herself up. Offer to do it for her? Don’t. If she’s ill? Leave her be, don’t smother her by trying to take care of her. Look in if you have to ( just to make sure that she IS taking care of herself ) but otherwise, leave her to look after herself. For those who make the offer and then go right ahead to help her despite her protests? Expect a colder shoulder. She can take care of herself, don’t you know!

With that said, however, it’s definitely something she does better with over time. As she grows up, she comes to the realisation that to accept a little help with things from time to time is not to admit weakness / defeat, she realises that it’s alright to need someone in her corner from time to time. It takes time but as she comes to let people past those walls of hers, there are people she’ll absolutely go to when she feels she could use a little help and she’d like to think that those people know who they are. In contrast to her younger self, she’ll actually thank someone for helping her.

All about the learning curve!

talk about your muse’s most prized possession(s).

Prior to meeting Libertus and relocating to Insomnia / joining the Kingsglaive, a young Crowe classed a small, silver locket on a fine chain as her most prized possession. It once belonged to her mother and it was the one and only thing of hers she had on her person when she was flung out of the village. Prized though it was, it looked more than a little out of place on a young girl trying to find her way in the wilderness and that was a though that never once crossed her mind. Why would it? She didn’t keep hold of it long, it was stolen. Looking back on it, hindsight shows her that she should’ve done more to keep it safe. Perhaps if she had, she’d still have something to remember her parents by.

In Kingsglaive verses, her most prize possession is her ruby pendant. When she first arrived in the city with Libertus, it was one of the first things that caught her eye in a jewellers window. No chance of ever owning anything like that, though, not with Insomnian prices and only the hope of claiming a Kingsglaive wage one day. Even with that wage, it’d be a push — they may have fought the city’s battles but there were not paid handsomely for their efforts. So when she enlisted, she saved and saved and then batter saved until she had the yen put aside to buy one of the pretty ruby pendants from that same jeweller. Undoubtedly, it was designed to be worn with the finest fabrics, shown off at any number of society balls, cooed at by the nobility; all things she’d never be interested in even if they were on the table for her. So she opted instead to wear it with her uniform and unlike that locket, no need to worry about the pendant being stolen, she could defend herself.

concept of home and family.

Both concepts are fairly touchy for her — she never had a chance to get to know her real family and home never really, truly felt like it. She was raised by the women in her village until she could mostly fend for herself, the extra mouth too much of a burden for any one family to take on. Indeed, she was eventually thrown out of the village for helping herself to breakfast from a trader’s stall. Home wouldn’t have done that. Home would’ve looked after her. Family would’ve made sure that she was fed and had a halfway decent, reliable roof over her head.

That village was never home, it’s just the place she was born. The people were never thought of as family.

Insomnia was the first real home she knew — she found herself a niche and she made it her own. As for the concept of family, Crowe is a walking advertisement for found family. She considered the Kingsglaive to be her family but even that wasn’t without teething problems. As someone who had been on her own from a young age, she had to learn how to stand on her own feet, be self-sufficient; there’s a guard there, a wall, that she likes to keep firmly in place. That in itself is a concept that doesn’t mesh well with the idea of family / trust etc. It’s a defence mechanism, of course it is, but it does mean that she can come across a little cold from time to time, like a tough nut to crack etc.

I feel like I need to also take this for the Meldacio verse, too. Obviously the rug was ripped out from under her when the shit hit the fan, she woke up in Lestallum with everything flipped on its head but from all of that, she found a real home at Meldacio and she has a real family in Pelna and their daughter, Asha.

And now I’m going to send this into the wild before I continue to write a novel.

SELF KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONNAIRE

RATIONALITY

You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

AGGRESSION

One part of your character is anger in all its forms: frustration, outrage – and when anger is suppressed – bitterness, grumpiness, and bodily aches. Fundamentally, frustration comes from hope: you get upset because you expect your life will be more than a valley of tears. One way to deny aggression is to direct it inwards, as self-criticism. But you’re at your best when you acknowledge anger, and act it out clearly and in a focussed way, with honour.

RESILIENCE

You have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards restriving. What attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action – overcoming weakness, repressing your fear. Because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. But at heart, tour insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy.

how your muse responds to stress ? & how your muse responds to anger ?

Stress is part of her day-to-day life, it’s part of every Glaive’s day-to-day dealings so, naturally, she’s had to learn how to deal with it effectively. Learning to handle it didn’t come easily to her, it took time and a lot of work. By the events of the movie, she handles the basic stresses by taking extra training time, making time for a long, hot shower, walking the long way home and such like. In survival verses, she trains to work out her stress. In terms of how she responds to it? She doubles down, sees it through just by trusting to strength of will -- stubborn head will see her through any stress or so she thinks.

Anger-wise, she’s a react first, think later type but the reaction, the temper, it’s usually only ever a flash in the pan; no sooner there than gone. More often than not, she’ll vent her anger in words, most likely a string of curses to turn the air blue. Her temper isn’t usually violent. That said, her anger doesn’t always give way to clear thought and clarity. In some cases, extreme cases, it’ll give way to stubbornness enough to hold a grudge. Her anger, the initial lashing-out stage, at least, is mostly to guard the vulnerabilities she’d rather nobody spotted. There there because of course they are but if she can guard ( read: hide ) them? That works.
