For Dust, two questions, one light, one maybe not: How does your character treat people in service jobs? and Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method?
How does your character treat people in service jobs?
Since she’s worked service jobs her whole life, she’s very aware of how shitty people sometimes treat them, so she likes to do the exact opposite of that. Will rip a customer a new one if they’re being rude and she can do it without getting the service worker in trouble. The only time she’ll be anything less than polite is if they’re personally rude to her and she’s pretty sure it isn’t just “i’m having a shitty day because everyone is awful.” (For instance human salespeople following her in stores, generally being racist assholes.)
Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method?
When it comes to every day tasks or problems she’ll probably give a solution/method a couple tries just to make sure she isn’t doing something wrong before looking for another solution if it doesn’t work. She’s quite practical and logical that way, and likes learning how to do new things.
But when it comes to emotional problems or relationships? Hoo boy is she fixated on the same solution. Dust has been stuck in a cycle of hurt/run/withdraw for years, though now it’s probably more a cycle of “sense intimacy, immediately get scared and withdraw/run away before she can get hurt.” She would even admit it if pressed - she’s aware that her self defense/coping mechanisms are not the healthiest in the world, she just doesn’t care. As far as she’s concerned they keep her safe and she’s not interested in changing because it would require being vulnerable, which she hates.
