✒ bee’s apartment is eclectic. she’s filled it, in the short time she’s had it, with all the best furniture and decoration that thrift stores and the sidewalk can provide. it’s cozy enough, and filled with plants installed and maintained (mostly! not entirely!) by blossom, to “keep her company.” they do their job. while the one-bedroom shoebox is an upgrade from her previous no-bedroom shoebox in general, bee loves two things in particular about it. one: her desk. it’s always littered with textbooks or medical journals, a coffee mug or three, her notes, and whatever project she’s currently head-deep in. something about that, having a space that’s entirely your own, it’s...nice. new. two: her windows. some have those beautiful, gauzy curtains that sway on the breeze. most don’t. all of them, however, can be found open, unless there is a torrential rain or threat of freezing weather. if you spend the night here: hope it’s during spring or summer.
what is your muse’s full name and do they have any nicknames? briar lim, aka bee, has a three letter name, and as we all know: short names are notoriously hard to nickname. bb (or was it beebee?) has been heard, and bug. submit yours now!
what do they look like? include hair, eyes, skin tone, tattoos, etc. ! bee’s has shoulder-blade length hair varies anywhere between strawberry blonde to candy pink, depending on where she is in her dye cycle, and honey-coloured eyes. she’s short — 5′4, impassably short, if you ask her — and generally small, though agreeing with that sentiment likely won’t end well. currently, she has only two tattoos: her amaranthine one, hiding in plain sight behind her left ear, and a large nettle tattoo on her right forearm.
do they have any distinguishing features such as scars, unique birthmarks, etc.? aside from the eyes which, let’s be honest, are quite distinguishing, bee could stand to vanish, if needed. she has scars, sure, some that could be from childhood tumbles, and some that resemble circular burn-marks, but who doesn’t?
what is your muse’s friends and family like? who do they usually surround themselves with? briar stopped associating with her “family” quite awhile ago, but that’s pretty standard for folks in this business. those two earth-and-water elemental fae roommates, however, would be the closest thing to family she has now; lord knows she spends enough time with the fae squad and in their apartment to make that true.
who would you consider the closest person to your muse? see above: choosing one over the other could result in tears or bodily harm.
where was your character born and what was their living situation growing up there? bee is born-and-bred korean! she grew up in the suburbs, of course, in a big, non-child-friendly home before migrating to the city proper, but the exact details of where she was born have been lost to time.
what is your muse’s biggest fear and does anyone know? if so, who, and if not, why not? only the witchdoctor. 🤫
has your muse ever fallen in love before? if so, with who? did it end well? bee hasn’t fallen in love before, no. there have been romantic relationships, after a while of struggle for platonic ones. they didn’t end well for...perhaps obvious reasons. after she began to master the concept of romantic relationships, now, she can begin to learn the concept of love, vis a vis falling in.
what would you find in your muse’s refrigerator right now? half-drank coffee -- because she always thinks she shouldn’t waste it if she doesn’t finish it, and it’s never good the day after. she’s not a great cook, so mostly staple, frozen things, and dairy-free milk for tea.
what does your muse usually wear? you can describe, link pictures, etc. ! bee loves loose-fitting things. for one, it masks her size. for two, they flow in the breeze that tends to follow her around, making her feel like stevie nicks. often blacks or neutral tones, but there are a couple pastel sweaters or blood-reds in her closet she can break out when the time’s right. her makeup is typically minimal as well, with a lack of lipstick, thanks to her constant lip-biting or sweet tooth.
what is your muse’s strongest memory that they carry around? likely not one specific moment, but a collection of small feelings. glass cutting into skin, or tar. maybe the taste of her first drink at amaranthine, the feeling of her bandaged tattoo pulsing behind her ear. first time petting a cat. y’know; that sort of thing.
✒ most of bee’s clothing comes secondhand, from thrifting, or some older pieces from lifting. for the most part, it’s practical: she loves her stevie nicks-esque shawls and lace, but bell sleeves and medic work don’t mix. those dresses, embroidered with the stars and as breezy as the sky itself, are saved for special occasions. so she makes do with a compromise: oversized sweaters, hoodies, and flannels, items that hide her form more and, for that same reason, make her a bit of a fashion-outcast in amaranthine. her hair is the one color-accent she needs with a closet comprised of earth- and monochrome tones !
