2, 5, 6, 9, 10? The first apprentice asks
2. If your apprentice was a romanceable character in The Arcana, what would their route be like?
Omggg I feel like his route would be about him learning to easily rely on other people without distrust, was also learning who he actually can and cannot trust because with all that mistrust in him, he can't just decide to trust *everyone*, that would end up getting him killed
- I'm sure there'd be tons of sneaking off
- maybe Periwinkle painting the mc
5. What are some of your apprentice's minor and major fears? What's the best way to comfort them when afraid?
Minor: centipedes, rejection, heights, crowds, being a disappointment, storms/loud sounds
Major: abandonment, violence, needles/medical stuff, loss of loved one(s)
Honestly, he can be very difficult to comfort
Peri is autistic and it really depends on whether or not he's having a meltdown
- touches are good as long as they're soft and patient
- quiet, dark place with pillows and food
- hot beverages and drawing
- distractions in most forms (loves being asked random questions)
6. Does your apprentice enjoy dressing up or would they prefer to just wear what's comfortable?
Oh he loves dressing up, he just doesn't usually have a reason to, so he usually wears practical outfits for the most part
He binds his chest incorrectly at first (dont do that) but I like to think that Nadia had him an actual binder made out of breathable, comfy material for his dysphoria and his sensory overload 💜 I kinda feel like she'd go a little overboard and have built-in binders installed in most of his outfits
9. What is your character's natural stress response (fight, flight, or freeze) and how does that influence their actions when confronted with a stressful situation? Do they recover from stress quickly or does it affect them for hours afterward?
It varies depending on what's going on, but I think I'd have to go with either flight or freeze
He'd fight if he had to and especially for his friend(s) or lover(s), but when it's just himself, he can't necessarily make himself fight everytime and he'll often end up running and hiding
He recovers quickly if with very very soothing company, and agonizingly slowly if he's alone or in a poor situation
10. What's the first thing someone is likely to notice about your apprentice when meeting them for the first time? Do they have any other quirks that set them apart?
He has two different colored eyes, one of them being light purple and the other being kinda blue with lots of specks of various colors
He also has lots of scars, but nobody would see them unless he was undressed
