What is your current muse(s)’s biggest fear? How would they cope when faced with it? - from, Foxesandmagic
I’ll do this for my (current) faves :)
Alexandria was always simultaneously afraid of staying trapped in her family’s strict structure and power plays and never displaying a gift and being left out in the cold. Her coping mechanism was to just pretend not care about anything at all. When she finally displays these fears kinda become obsolete, but get soon replaced by a fear of being the cause of Caleb’s apparently impening death. Again, not coping all that well. Or at all…
Callie discovers that with the awakening of her mermaid side, comes a predatory aspect that seems impossible to supress. So her biggest fear is hurting - or worse killing - Noah when this predator takes over. She “copes” by trying to stay out of the water, simply not changing at all, but that soon proves to be very detrimental to her health and Noah basically forces her. In the end she discovers that she is strong enough to control her urges and that she is not the monster she was so afraid she had become…
Ellie used to be scared of never making it out of the “almost” poverty that she grew up in and she does everything she can think of to make sure this doesn’t happen, but as we all know this fear evaporates rather early on in the story. From then on out new fears basically keep piling up. To not fit in. To be the Island’s lauhing stock. Not make any friends. Lose her old friends. To disappoint her grandmother. To become ike her. Hurting Ravi or Xander. Losing Ravi or Xander… And caught in this whirlwind (and because this seems to be a recurring theme with me my characters) she just never stops to try and cope and basically she is a loveable ball of anxiety.
Lily, to exactly nobody’s surprise, is afraid of her newly discovered powers and the danger that comes with having grown up unaware and never learning how to control them. But she copes with this fear by trying to learn controlling her powers as fast as she can. And she has a very calming presence by her side with Kaleb and everyone is super supportive, too.
I did my fave original OCs, if there are fandom OCs you want me to do, lmk :)
