🍑 Where is your OC’s favorite place to relax or calm down? Recount a story of their time spent in this place! What makes it so special to them? Is there anywhere your OC hates to go? Anywhere that stresses them out or have negative memories from?
Probably the high school bleachers. She used to smoke there between classes and after school. No one really bothered her there and it felt like a sanctuary from everyone. Given everything that happened to her life since then, the memory of the simplicity really hits her. I’d say a lot of places actually stress her out though, like, most of Charming. Her PTSD doesn’t really help. Sometimes it feels like nowhere is safe.
🧡 Who is your OC’s favorite person? Why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them?
Honestly, it’s probably one of her drill sergeants. Kicked her ass in basic and set her straight, made sure she understood that things were different. Realized they had a kid with some serious issues and actually tried to help.
🌳Compare your OC to themselves from 10 years ago. How has their mental state changed since then, how have they aged and grown up? Would they say they’re in a better place than they were back then or do they need help? What advice would they give their younger self? What advice would their younger self give to them now?
Man, if young Grace thought she had issues then, she’d be appalled at her future. Her mental state briefly was good, and then relapsed hardcore. She has grown up bitter, resentful, and feeling sorry for herself. The poor girl needs an intervention. She’d probably beg her younger self not to join the army and just run as far away as she could. Her younger self would probably tell her the same thing. Run. She’s not good at giving herself advice, clearly.
