o lawd ok girl here u go
15. do they trust their party? why or why not?
With varying degrees of trust, yes! She has been traveling with them overall enough that she feels pretty secure in her ability to rely on the group. I think she likely trusts Lucy the most, with Cassandra and Sidon next, Sarthon technically the "least" but not in a bad sense, she just doesn't need to bother him with anything "extra" when he's got a lot on his mind, and he's still been with the group less time than the rest, so there's just a bit more catching up. Overall, though, of course, Mallet is the Most Trusted. But all of them have been together and been through it enough. Of anyone who shouldn't be trusted in the party, it's her!
22. what is a promise they’ve broken?
I don't think there's anything directly to the party that she's broken, but she's definitely made some backstory promises to family that are kinda broken part and parcel with her not communicating with them right now.
23. how do they feel about nicknames, titles, or labels that have been given to them? how do they feel about their name?
Ailse is not one to nickname herself and I don't necessarily think she has any nicknames (we are not acknowledging Favor in this answer today), though she will also use any titles her pod name carries to her advantage when it will help the party get things they need. She likes her name, also!
36. what’s a secret they’ve kept?
I have no brain cells at the moment but I think most things she's discussed in confidence with party members she has not divulged? Otherwise I mean a lot of the Favor stuff she's definitely tried to skirt around.
46. what do they deprive themself of?
Just twisting the knife, aren't you? Jesus god almighty woman. She's depriving herself of speaking to her family or even communicating with them at all, and she's definitely depriving herself of any kind of support because she feels like she has to be the support being the most well-adjusted party member!
annndddd for the worst girl
4. if they could learn one spell that isn’t available to them at present, which spell would it be?
Counterspell and Modify Memory, for various reasons of dubious quality.
19. what haunts them? what doesn’t?
That's a tough one; I think Svetlana is very haunted by her choices and where she is, because none of it's worked out the way she maybe wished it would; still, bailing out from her old life under the Simic doesn't haunt her, she just perhaps wishes she'd gone another way with it.
20. which of the five senses do they rely the most on?
She's an even mix of sight and sound! Her vision is very good and she's a very good listener, to a fault, even. Oops, all spy behavior.
33. what makes them cry?
Being treated kindly. Alternatively, I'm sure there are some other low blows a certain someone could drop on her that would definitely make her cry!
59. what is a quiet passion of theirs?
Writing poetry! Which no one will ever see and live to tell about! She has an image to maintain!
