36. How does your character behave around people they dislike?
ella is extremely good at staying civil. unless unique circumstances arise (i.e. gay thoughts) she keeps ppl at arms length or farther, no matter her actual feelings about the person, positive or negative. she's had to deal with a lot of people that she's hated (primarily doctors and religious healers that have discounted and ignored her symptoms), and in her experience open hostility has not helped her, so she does what she can to keep interactions shallow and brief, but as a defense mechanism she tends to do this before she can get a read on how she feels about a person (unless of course she meets an undead tiefling who similarly to her is transfem and has a unique and complicated relationship with religion, in which case it's time to get the uhaul) (hey mac if ur reading this does rudel have uhauls). on the rare occasion she's not civil with someone she dislikes is because they've pushed her too far, often at which point ella will turn to violence.
erika, on the other hand, is very open about her feelings towards people, and if she doesn't like someone, she will make that known, with the most immediate change and clearest indicator being that her emoticonspeak starts to get frowny (for those not yet in the know erika is half human and half demonic android demifiend and as such she can speak in emoticons). she will also spew disparaging remarks at the subject of her ire (one time jeanne d'arc healed another party member instead of erika while she was unable to speak bc of a throat injury, and so through a jumble of gurgling, qbertspeak, and fax machine noises she managed to utter the phrase "burned at the stake" in her direction) (don't worry abt the fact jeanne darc is there hana found her on a walk AND ALMOST FUMBLED HER anyways. smt campaign sure is something. so excited for session tmrw.). but other than people not giving her the attention she deserves she for the most part likes people! (also she later apologized to ms. darc for the stake comment) (her apology included the >~< emoticon.) (i love erika so much.)
