tell me about liana raine for the multimuse meme
send in the name of a muse you don’t know at all and i’ll tell you… - accepting
their general personality
Liana is a very gentle, compassionate young woman - she would have made a good healer, actually, and she’s very much a people person. Very warm, very friendly, which is a definite asset when she’s doing her real job, working as a diplomat for the Order. She does, at least in the eyes of her fellow Jedi, have a “problem” with attachment and it only gets worse as she gets older. She’s fiercely loyal, and has to fight her natural tendency to want to put the ones she cares for first. (Her answer to that so far is “I’m going to care about everybody, then no one gets put ahead of the mission because I’m taking everyone into account.” which... is not what the Council meant, I don’t think.) But she’s also got that Corellian stubbornness so. Good luck changing her mind.
their hobbies
Learning. At any given time, Liana’s datapad is stuffed full of holobooks (and holovids) - nonfiction more often than not. She especially loves learning about other cultures, something that’s a great asset to her when she’s on the job. She’s also surprisingly fond of cooking, though the ship really isn’t equipped for much of that. She also likes to explore what she can do with the Force, primarily along the lines of improving/refining her healing skills and her talent with telekinesis.
things they like
Animals! Especially baby animals; she’s not a big fan of insects, but she’d have had a pet Gizka if she wasn’t so busy and she always stops to pet the nerfs on Alderaan. She’s also a bit of a foodie, though more on the “I’ll try anything once” side than the “I’ll only eat X” side.
things they dislike
Obviously, as most of her life has been spent living in a galaxy at war - and as a diplomat sent to the front regularly - she’s used to fighting. But while she enjoys sparring, she hates life-or-death combat. She’s not a fan of violence in general, and is honestly pretty conflict-avoidant overall. She also starts out with a huge, ingrained bias against Sith and Imperials, admittedly in part because of Jedi/Republic propaganda.
Once she’s older, and more experienced, that black-and-white morality begins to fade away, but the knee-jerk reaction of distrust and dislike is hard to let go.
some things people do that annoy them
She cannot stand people talking before someone finishes speaking / talking over someone; it happens a lot at debates, and it always makes her think a little less of the person doing it. Willful ignorance also grates on her; ignorance is a default state, you can’t know something you haven’t learned, but someone refusing to learn is baffling and sometimes outright infuriating.
how easily they form friendships
Far, far too easily, if you were to ask many of her peers. Not because it’s not good to be friendly, but because once Liana makes friends, she has a powerful tendency to get attached. And well, that’s a Jedi no-no.
how easily they get crushes
Not very. Liana was raised as a Jedi, so she was of course raised in a culture that doesn’t really promote awareness of romantic or sexual feelings, and actively discourages acting on them should they crop up. So while it is possible she could grow to have feelings for someone, it would take her longer than most to recognize it was more than an intimate friendship.
the kind of person they get along with the best
Other friendly people are at the top of the list, to be sure, along with people who engage or challenge her intellectually, and can make her smile or laugh.
the kind of person they get along with the worst
Hostile, violent people. People who endanger others needlessly (she understands sometimes there isn’t a choice, but so often there is) are also high on the list of people she doesn’t get along with. Also, again, see “willful ignorance” for a powerful pet-peeve.
whether or not they could get along with your muse(s)
I’m just going to do your Star Wars muses since same fandom if not same era, but I do want to say that there’s definitely others she’d get along with in your roster.
KIHANDA: I think she and Kihanda would be fast, close friends, I really do. Their personalities and outlooks on life are compatible, and they’d have the common ground of being trained Jedi. Liana would be utterly fascinated at her deeper cultural roots and want to learn anything and everything Kihanda would be willing to teach her.
REY: Pretty sure that Liana would also get along well with Rey. It would take time for Rey to learn to trust her, of course, but I think Liana’s genuine, constantly proven compassion and warmth would be extremely welcome (if again, hard to trust) after Rey’s seen so little of it. They’re both practical, competent women who would at least come to some mutual respect if not eventual friendship.
DOC: It was hard deciding who was next, Doc or Han, but I think Doc wins out because he is a healer who does genuinely care about others despite the airs he puts on. She wouldn’t like how easily lying comes to him and wouldn’t know what to do with his flirting, but overall I think they’d get along.
HAN: I think eventually Liana and Han would come to an understanding, much as Luke and Han did. It helps that she can be more of a realist, even if tries to present as an optimist. (War will do that to you.) I think his ego and original tendency to look out for himself before others would be something she struggled with, much as her tendency to go the other way - and push for the same from others - would aggravate him. Plus, there’s the whole “space wizard” deal he’d have to come to terms with. That said, I think given enough time they would respect each other’s competency, bravery, and skill if nothing else.
