forget - me - not : has your muse ever forgotten something that is or was important to them ? are they afraid of forgetting things like that ?
botanical headcanons. / accepting.
so i could very easily use the obvious answer of forgetting (temporarily) what happened at the conclave, those memories being stolen by the aspect of nightmare she encounters again at adamant -- but that is the obvious one. & until she did, in fact, remember, she wasn't sure how important that was. (earth-shatteringly, in retrospect. life-changing. etc.) i do think prior to that event, though, her overall memory was much more reliable. between the multiple knocks to the head she takes throughout canon & the probable after-effects of a demon literally removing memories, her retention is definitely weakened.
& being, y'know, the head of a large organization, she feels as though she cannot afford to forget much of anything. it's a loss of control, & she has so little of that anyway. so she keeps a small journal on her person, jotting down events & things said & sometimes even things she's overheard or figured out about those around her. she writes down almost everything, for fear of not remembering something that might be important later.
despite any jokes or rumors, it is not blackmail. it's genuinely just others' likes & dislikes, or things that remind her of them or such. to the point that she doesn't mind people reading her notes.
