rank sge character's lips by level of chappedness, 1 being the least chapped, 10 being the most chapped
agatha, sophie, rafal, rhian, tedros
i'm doing this because my lips are constantly chapped for no reason (i've used every fucking lip gloss in the house only God can help me now), and I'm looking for someone to relate to
Feel free to disagree with me!
Sophie would score nothing less than a 1. Of course, she'd always maintain a skincare routine and never let anything happen to her face. It's one of her most persuasive assets after all.
Rhian would score a 2-3. I'm convinced he would reach Sophie levels of vanity on other occasions, but he is more preoccupied by romance than self-care, and also has a demanding, time-consuming job, so he might slack in his routines, sometimes leaving himself vulnerable to the cold.
Tedros would score a 4. He has well-established grooming habits. Yet, even if he is vain, I'd expect he would be outdoors more than his two aforementioned rivals would be, and thus, he'd have somewhat chapped lips. He probably would think makeup or the "overuse" of makeup and other cosmetic treatments too feminine for him though.
Rafal could score an 8 or possibly higher. He cares less about his appearance, depending on context and on which characterization of his we're dealing with. He's as cold as a corpse and in dry, cold weather, well, he could be affected, even as the Storian constantly repairs his dry lips or cracks in his hands, just from staying outside for too long. I don't think he would be outside for incredibly long stretches though, considering he has an indoor, academic/administrative job.
Agatha would score a 10. Sorry. I believe given her witchy upbringing, she'd believe herself weather-resistant and think she has a good immune system. She'd put little stock into her appearance and would just bundle up and get out of doors without much heed, if only to collect toads and salamanders to save them by bringing them inside. Tedros and the Camelot ladies-in-waiting would constantly chase after her, to ensure she's dressed properly for the weather, and chastise her about wearing make-up when she leaves the castle, even though she's sure to tell them off.
Yeah, I agree with you. My lips are chapped, and I haven't even been outside much lately. It's so cold and dry where I live. And I just had a dental procedure which made the dryness worse.
