|| 25 OC Q’s || @snakesonawave ||
🦋 If your OC could change everything (or just something) about their life would they? What would they change? What do they think would happen if they did? What would their loved ones think?
If Jewel could have refined control over her zanpakuto she would have it in a heartbeat. She doesn’t like looking like a crusty goblin that came out of the nethers of Antarctica. If she were able to have that it would eliminate a lot of problems. She wouldn’t be cold all the time, physical abnormalities would be gone, more emotional stability/less stress, and it would likely be easier to get close to people. Loved ones would probably appreciate that.
🔥 If your OC known for having temper tantrums? If not, what gets them really angry? What makes their blood BOIL? Is there anyway to calm them down or are they unstoppable? What are they like when they’re angry? Do they take it out on their loved ones?
Oh yeah there’s a temper there alright, but she’s not known for tantrums so much.
Anger is commonly assumed of Jewel because of her resting bitch face and how blunt she can come off towards others. It’s fairly easy to annoy Jewel and she’s expressive about it in that regard, humorous, and sometimes exaggerated. This is what most people see of her.
But true ohmygod boiling anger? It’s rare. She’s silent and the emotions are limited to body language; stiff body, clenched fists, a predatory dagger gaze, and glass-cutting cheekbones because her teeth are clenched behind her lips. Her reiatsu comes off less intensely, funnily enough, because she’s focused and containing herself. She’s not in the business of talking at this point and given the situation may resort to isolation and simmering down.
If she lets loose it’s exceedingly difficult to come back down until it’s out of her system. No one could easily talk her down once she crossed that threshold and those that would try are not outside of being harmed. Hyouhakyoku feeds on her negative emotions and in that state it’s a recipe for disaster.
One example would be her nasty break-up with Kakos. Jewel reached a breaking point with his abuse and she didn’t try to talk it out again, no aggressive tussles that would end in sex again… she just hunted him down and went in, they fought, and she lopped off his last fleshy arm as a symbol of him not being able to lay a warm hand on her (or anything) ever again. She didn’t care if it added to his laundry list of trauma. She was done.
☁️ What’s something your OC wishes they could forget? Why is this? Or, what is something that your OC has forgotten? (or do both!)
Anything I could think of that Jewel would want to forget involves Kakos, go figure.
One event that stuck out to me was during her Main Timeline where Kakos attacked her while she was in a weakened state. Jewel had gotten back from a tiring mission, challenged Koji, and lost. She got cooped up in the 4th division for days and just wanted to get away for a while, so she snuck out late one night and left her blade tucked in her bed because she knew she’d get caught trying to leave with it again. Only had her shitagi on.
Kakos was in the 4th at the time as well for a session in harnessing healing kido and was having a smoke before going home. He sensed Jewel leaving, made up his mind, and stalked her out into a wooded area. Before she could sit down at this quiet pond to rest he went in and wailed on her without warning. She could fare against him in hakuda but he was quick to draw his blade, push her against a tree, and impale her thigh.
It was his silence and the way he stared her down, and how he shoved his metal forearm against her mouth to stifle the scream that welled up in her throat from the pain. It wasn’t for fun or a mental break on his part; he just wanted to harm her.
Kakos wanted to get back at Jewel for taking his arm, and if other shinigami hadn’t sensed the commotion and broken it up he likely would have taken her leg. Jewel felt his intention and in that moment it left her in a mess of emotions. She was angry that he came after her while she was weakened, angry at herself for not being able to keep him at bay regardless of her condition, scared of him and what could have happened, and just tearfully upset in general; she was in a lot of pain.
They both got in trouble for it, Jewel for leaving when she wasn’t supposed to, and Kakos for a harming her to such a degree (neither would talk about the fight itself so Kakos didn’t get into as much trouble as he could have.) While Jewel would’ve rather forgotten that event it proved to be an important one for Kakos. He was made to undergo extra therapy sessions and take time away from the 11th division and it all served as a prelude to what would be his attempted redemption.
📚 If your OC was given some kind of forbidden knowledge, what would they do with it? Would they tell anyone? Use it for evil or good? How would it change their outlook on life, if at all?
It would depend on what that knowledge pertained to. I feel like regardless of what it was Jewel would keep it to herself at first and do personal research on it to find out more details if necessary. She’d be alone with her thoughts and really think about it. Ultimately she would want to use the knowledge for good. She’s chaotic but she’s not evil.
Jewel would eventually tell someone about it. Forbidden knowledge is meant to be hidden and repressed and to hold on to something like that would feel restrictive to her. She wouldn’t want to be responsible for holding on to that, and hell, it’d make for an interesting conversation. Airi or Tetsuji come to mind as individuals she would tell about it first.
I’m unsure if it would change her personal outlook on life at all due to the lack of context so I’ll lean towards no.
