Helena - ✿, ❂, ♫ | Avery - ♡, ☣, ♥ | Thalia in Sex Shop AU yo - ✈, ☁, ❂
✿ - something that never fails to make her happy - that moment when she steps over the threshold and she’s home. In university, it’s those few times when she gets back to New Orleans, in adulthood (depending on the AU) it’s when she gets to Mac’s place or, you know. The Oval Office.
❂ - something she feels strongly about - Helena is completely unsurprisingly a super feminist. You try trampling her rights (or someone else’s) and she will go all lioness on you. She doesn’t consider herself radical, though that’s mostly because her political ambition prevents her from attaching a label that she thinks could cost her her future.
♫ - one of her favorite pasttimes - Let’s go with the more unexpected one. No one’s surprised that Helena enjoys red wine, foreign firms, and old books. Slightly more unusual is her complete obsession with playing Rock Band.
♡ - how she handles stressful events - Not all that well, in recent years; she mostly buckles down and works through it until the problem is solved or she’s passed out at her desk. She used to have more strategies for it, primarily yoga and playing music, but both fell by the wayside. In all likelihood, once Meredith is part of her life, she has the impetus to pick them up again.
☣ - something that makes her uncomfortable - To this day, it’s the whispers. She’s always been good at pretending she didn’t give a damn about what people thought about her, but truthfully it was always more important than it should be. Avery feels uncomfortable when she feels judged.
♥ - her happiest memory - practicing fencing in the garden with her dad. Her dad is very much not into swords, he’s so much of a pacifist that he refused to pick anything up when they arrived in the Deck, but Avery was enamored with them, so he helped her learn (before discovering that Ceiro Ryan would be a better teacher and getting her lessons/practice with him)
✈ - one of her greatest fears - Automobiles. Seriously, do you know how many car accidents there are every year? She refuses to get in a running vehicle, though she will sit in one that’s off if it’s flashy enough.
☁ - one of her earliest memories - sitting on the counter in her dad’s bookstore (now her bookstore) entertaining customers with giant whoppers/tall tales
❂ - something she feels strongly about - expression. She feels like people are generally too repressed, and it leads to misunderstandings that could be avoidfed if they were to just be themselves instead of what they’re meant to be.
