For Xinsia ! There's a lot but it's a very cool list, feel free to elaborate on stuff or leave some of the questions out :)
🤝 Community and relationships - 2
💓Mind, Body and Soul - 6
🎲 Hobbies and Activities - 1
Thank you for asking so many, I'm really happy! :D I tried to give some background info on all answers, hope it's a fun read!
👕Appearance - Is there someone your character tries to look similar to?
Yes and no! Xinsia is rarely seen out of a military uniform and because of this, she doesn't get a lot of variation in her appearance. She wears her hair the same way most days and doesn't care much for accessories.
When Xinsia has to dress up (as she is part of the noble caste of the setting), she does imitate her late mother's style. Her mother used to enjoy helping Xinsia prepare when she was younger, brushing and doing her hair, choosing what hair ornaments to wear and such. Xinsia still keeps some of those dressing habits to this day.
🍽️Food and Drink - Does your character like to try new foods?
Yes! Though Xinsia isn't a foodie, she has a curiosity towards most things new. She likes especially to try out new drinks and weird combinations, even better if they are alcoholic. If she's tried something and didn't like it, she is unlikely to give it a second try, though - or it would take a lot of convincing at least!
🤝 Community and relationships - What is your character's favorite kind of social event?
Tournaments or animal-related events (hunting, falconry, horseback riding) where the focus isn't directly at social interaction. She isn't introverted by any means, but it is just that there is so much intrigue and deception at normal social gatherings that she'd rather do something fun while it's happening. Are tournaments in the Empire full of cheats trying to make an impression? Yes. Will Xinsia try to beat them with pure prowess? Also yes!
When she was just a footsoldier in rank, she liked drinking the night away with those she fought alongside with, but now as a Captain she's in a more precarious position. It is one of her regrets related to her promotion, even though she really gunned for it for her whole service.
💓Mind, Body and Soul - How well does your character act under pressure?
Oh boy, it depends. In combat situations, Xinsia is able to make decisions fast and act upon them. Communication might be on the lesser side, but she gets things done. Are they reckless? Often. She's got a lot of scars on her body to tell that. At least she can think and act, even if her mouth won't move.
In court situations (or in social ones altogether), Xinsia is not the best. She stops to think, gets annoyed, and throws caution to the wind. That's why Aisu makes for a good lieutenant for her - he keeps things civil under pressure and is Xinsia's reminder to not get baited into saying something stupid. He can't always stop her, though. Xinsia has a strong protective streak and if someone puts pressure on that, she will act.
🎲 Hobbies and Activities - What kind of games does your character most enjoy playing?
Hmm, I had not actually thought of this a lot! I think dice games, maybe some physical kind of games? Xinsia is a very active person, so arm wrestling, just wrestling or some interactive games would be her thing. Something like card games or board games could get a bit boring for her, unless they were something like slapjack that requires reaction times and speed :D
