this might be the last one for the moment? Who knows (it’s not, there are more since I added this to drafts. I’m super slow but getting around to them today)

Guide: answer these seven Qs in the voice of your female character(s), and then tag somebody!
Ok we’ll do Ifernia, Miroth, Erith, Kari, and Katie (all Expect to Fly)
Who was your mother and what did she teach you?
Ifernia: Zelach, she taught me that it’s ok to be angry to be heard.
Miroth: Mine - um, she taught me how to hide. Her name is Carisal
Erith: Shantari. She taught me that I was right to be me.
Kari: Uh. Um. Thornton’s... looked after me more than my blood mother did...? She taught me always to help others.
Katie: Miriam. She taught me to keep the faith.
Do you have any sisters (related or not)?
Ifernia: I don’t think I’d count Miroth or Erith as sisters, but Kari almost is. It’s a parallel world thing?
Miroth: I have an older sister
Kari: I have Jen, who’s one of the other foster kids. And there have been others, like Vera and Alison and Michelle, but I never talked to them all that much, so...
Katie: I have two younger
How has your gender shaped your path in life?
Ifernia: I’d like to think it hasn’t changed much, but... I don’t know. I don’t think not wanting to put myself in the centre of attention has anything to do with my gender.
Miroth: Maybe if I were a boy, I could speak up more easily.
Erith: It’s given me a whole lot more comfort. I know who I am.
Kari: It’s a little bit underhanded, to be honest. I mean somehow no one expects me to hit that hard. Apparently it’s a bit of an edge...?
Katie: It’s helped, I think. I still have choices on where to go, but there’s a path to fall back on. I don’t get lost.
What does the woman you admire look like? Who is she?
Ifernia: I know I was only there a month, but I really admire Kari. She’s got that drive to just do things, she’s confident in herself that she can.
Miroth: Erith. She’s not afraid to be herself, not afraid to step up.
Erith: Got to be my mum, I mean she helped me so much when I was younger and still learning, and she’s super supportive of everything I want to try.
Kari: Nicola Adams. Do I really gotta say more.
Katie: Lynda Carter. My dad liked her as Wonder Woman, so I grew up watching her in... a lot of things.
Why do you think women are considered the gentler sex?
Ifernia: because we have the kids, we’re... we look after the family in a way that doesn’t involve so much obvious blustering
Miroth: I - I don’t know. So men can feel like they have to protect us?
Erith: misconception. They all think fighting is harder than things we do they don’t understand.
Kari: because men are dumb as shit?
Katie: because we show caring more easily
What is a piece of your personality that you are proud of?
Ifernia: I don’t know, I guess... I like that I’m approachable? Or I think I’m approachable, anyway.
Miroth: That after everything, I still understand. Or maybe that’s weak, I don’t know, but... I care. I still care about them.
Erith: I like that I'm reliable, and the one they all turn to for comfort. I’m good at comfort.
Kari: Contrary to popular belief, I can actually listen to people. I can discuss things in a calm and sensible manner. If they’re not being dumb as shit.
Katie: I like being playful, even if there’s not always a call for it. I can brighten anyone’s day.
When did you accept your own body and its strengths/weaknesses?
Ifernia: Still... still working on that. Lot has changed recently.
Miroth: On a good day, it’s everything I like about myself. On a bad day... well, it’s hard.
Erith: It’s still not quite the body I want but I’m getting there.
Kari: When I won my first fight and didn’t feel as beaten myself. It’s got my back, you know?
Katie: It was a gift, so... I do my best to accept it as is.
