👁️👤 for Astrid

Thank you so much for the ask and always sending stuff, it’s awesome! Excuse the wait, hopefully I’ll get a little better at answering these things.

👁 for Astrid:

-What is your OC’s eye color?

Medium green, similar to the colour of the grass in summer time. She’s heard a lot of jokes, puns and lines related to green eyes, so if you’ve got something different she hasn’t heard, chances are you really don’t.

-Do they have any eye-related habits, like winking or rubbing their eyes?

She rubs her eyes and squints slightly. One of her eyes is slightly smaller than the other which becomes more pronounced when she’s tired. She also makes them bigger and bats her eyelashes when she’s trying to get people to do stuff for her. Marisol always falls for it and she hates it.

-Do other people tend to notice their eyes?

Her eyes are large and bright, so they do draw people in. She’s been complimented on her eyelashes too many times to count, she has naturally long lashes. Her eyes are the most prominent part of her.

👤 for Astrid:

-What is your OC’s skin like? Is it unblemished, or are they prone to breakouts?

She avoided acne mostly, has only had a couple breakouts when she was younger. She has prominent freckles scattered across her face which become stronger in sunlight. She used to be self conscious of them and would hide them with make up, until she decided to stop.

-Do they have any scars, tattoos, or other skin markings?

Her nose is slightly wonky from when she crashed into a tree while riding a bike drunk when she was 16. She was definitely the type to sneak out to parties and come back late with a lot of noise, but having to go to A&E with a broken nose isn’t exactly her idea of fun. Her friends were with her and managed to keep the whole mess secret from her parents by lying about it and just saying she’d walked into a lamppost. The scar itself isn’t overly prominent.

She wants tattoos, but hasn’t decided what to get yet. Her freckles are spread all over her body, and she’s had past girlfriends try to count them and join them up with their fingers.

-Does their skin tend to be sensitive to things that get on it (lotions, cleaning products, etc.)?

Her skin is pretty sensitive, so she’s careful with the products she uses, and tends to wear gloves when doing the dishes or cleaning the bathroom. She usually tries to avoid both and gets Marisol to do it, as she’s far more particular than Astrid is.

For Astrid and Alecto: 💇 and 👖

Hi Sofi! Thank you so much for always sending these, it’s seriously appreciated x Excuse the wait, it’s taken ages for me to feel up to answering these, and actually getting the time is another thing. There’s a reason I always warn for things taking absolutely ages 😂 I’m having to relearn how to answer these, some of these answers are a little short and shit.

💇 for Astrid

What is your OC’s hairstyle?

Dark blonde, wavy. It’s a 2B with hair texture. She had a fringe when she was little and eventually stopped doing it. The fringe maintenance was doing her head in, so she grew it out eventually. Her hair stops at the small of her back. Maggie Rogers with long hair is a perfect representation of her.

How do they maintain their hair?

She sticks to certain hair products, has stayed with the same brand of shampoo and conditioner for a while. She frequently has it up with paintbrushes or pencils keeping it up, basically whatever’s on her desk at the time. She can’t always find scrunchies, hair clips or bobbles in the mess that’s her room, and art supplies work just as well. She’s accidentally dipped her hair in paint before but it suited her.

Do they wash it and/or cut it regularly?

With hair that long, she only washes it every other day and has the ends trimmed every six months.

Have they ever dyed their hair?

She’s dyed her hair ginger, pink, blue, dark brown, golden blonde and black. Both black and dark brown washed out her colouring completely, she suits lighter colours. She has natural strawberry blonde highlights in her hair, so ginger suited her quite well. Going more blonde also suits her, but she’d never go platinum blonde. She hated the pink, it definitely didn’t suit her overall vibe.

💇 for Alecto

-What is your OC’s hairstyle?

Long dark brown wavy hair with a fringe. She originally went without a fringe until a disastrous set of haircuts when she was 14-15 where it was far too short for her. She went for a chin length cut with a fringe which made her look much younger. She already has that issue due to having a baby face. She decided to keep the fringe and grow it back longer again, which took a while.

-How do they maintain their hair?

She lets it air dry and doesn’t tend to put heat products on it. She also leaves it loose mostly, occasionally does a French braid, ponytail or a bun. She has to tie it up and put it in a hair net for work, and she also does Marisol’s hair for fun and if they’re going out. Marisol struggles with anything hair related that’s not basic as she doesn’t have the time or patience for anything more than a wonky ponytail. Alecto’s learnt a lot of hair styles from her twin sister and has practiced a lot.

-Do they wash it and/or cut it regularly?

Usually washes it every other day, and gets the ends cut between every six months to a year. She used to cut her fringe herself every 2 months, but Marisol offered and she let her take over.

-Have they ever dyed their hair?

Nope, she was too scared to touch her hair. She’s heard too many stories about dodgy hair dyes.

👖for Astrid

-What type of clothing does your OC generally wear? Why?

She has a lot of jackets. She has a special denim jacket with a lot of badges on it that’s pretty distinctive. Also jeans and t-shirts are major things for her, she doesn’t care too much about clothes. She has a lot of ripped jeans and denim. Half of her clothes fit the whole artist vibe, and the other half fit the rebel vibe, she’s got two separate sides of her which are frequently at war. She also has some dresses and skirts for going out, and a couple painting shirts. She doesn’t wear anything she wouldn’t like to get messy when she paints for obvious reasons. The t-shirts are mostly old pyjama tops, and old t-shirts where they’re slightly too small or have something wrong with them.

-Do they have any “signature” accessories?

She has a nose piercing which she got when she turned 17 secretly, and the denim jacket definitely counts here.

👖 for Alecto

-What type of clothing does your OC generally wear? Why?

She has a lot of floaty dresses and skirts. She avoids anything too revealing as she’s not overly comfortable with her own body. Certain fabrics don’t sit well with her, and she avoids anything too big or it will swallow her up due to how short she is. She wears a lot of soft fabrics too, she has multiple of the same comfortable cardigan because of the feel of it. She tries to blend in as much as possible, so doesn’t wear anything that’ll cause her to stick out.

-Do they have any “signature” accessories?

She also has a nose piercing and always wears a bracelet to cover her soulmate words from view. She usually fiddles with her bracelet, unless she has her fidget spinner.

2 and 22 for both Alecto and Astrid! 💛

I just answered for Alecto, so have it for Astrid x

2. What is their dream vacation?

She’s very arty, so somewhere with history and art galleries. Venice, Florence and Paris all come to mind.

22. How do they react to criticism?

She ignores it and lashes out at whoever offered it. She’s got a quick temper, so it doesn’t usually impact her but she hates unwarranted criticism especially. If she asked for it and it’s from a trusted person, different kettle of fish.

14 & 21 for both Astrid and Alecto :)

Thanks so much for the ask x

14. Do they like hot or cold temperatures better?

Alecto is definitely more of a cold temperatures person. She can’t stand being too hot, and loves winter weather (apart from snow, she can’t stand it).

Astrid is the opposite and loves hot temperatures. She’s visited LA twice over the summer and loves going abroad during the summer.

21. How do they react to praise?

Astrid accepts it, she doesn’t try to deny it or make excuses. She’s confident in herself and her efforts, so is willing to admit that.

Alecto gets really nervous and awkward about it, she struggles to accept it. Even with true facts, such as her grades in uni, and the fact she got a first. Part of it is linked to the fact her efforts were never enough growing up, especially when she lived with her mum and siblings. After she cut contact entirely and moved to live with her dad, that helped. Her self esteem is still damaged from being compared to her siblings by her mum. Her dad doesn’t put as much pressure on her, he’s just happy that she’s happy. She’s also far closer to her half siblings because of the whole comparing thing her other siblings would participate in.
