All evens from the unusual headcanons for Phoebe!
Yessss, thank you, Katie!
2. How do they listen to their music? iPod, mp3, computer, cd, records, etc.?
Spotify on her phone. Who doesn't these days?
4. Do they wear their hair down when they sleep or tied up / braided?
Hair down, but she will occasionally braid it if she has to get up early and wants to make the curling process a little quicker because, yes, she curls her hair every morning.
6. What do they normally dream about? Nightmares or nonsense?
Phoebe isn't someone who dreams a lot, but it's usually about her work when she does. After working on the conservation of an ancient Egyptian cat statue, she dreamt about those a lot. It was a little disturbing.
8. What do they sleep in? PJs, normal clothes, nothing?
Undies and an old t-shirt.
10. What shampoo scent do they like the best and why?
She likes anything that smells like citrus fruits.
12. Do they prefer sleeping alone or with someone else?
14. Do they stay up too late? Do they like staying up?
Phoebe has a very strict nighttime routine. She likes to be in bed and ready to sleep at 11 pm. She'll obviously alter it if she has plans, but if she's just at home, that's what she likes to do.
16. Do they prefer taxis/buses/subways, etc.? Or none of the above?
Phoebe likes to walk but will take the tube if it's too far away to do so.
18. Do they prefer cats or dogs? Or neither?
She definitely prefers cats despite them haunting her dreams that one time.
20. What do they hate being teased about? Are they teased often?
Phoebe has an older sister, so it's safe to assume that she does get teased quite a bit. About what, I don't know. Maybe her being a massive nerd who will talk your ear off about her work.
22. Do they have a fear they want to conquer but haven’t yet?
I haven't given this any thought, but maybe putting herself out there more? I think I mentioned that she's shy and kind of stuck in her comfort zone. She's working on it, though, and meeting Steven certainly helps.
24. Do they have a short temper? What’s most likely to set it off?
Not at all. Phoebe is very even-tempered and patient, but she doesn't like being lied to, so that's definitely something that could set her off.
26. What are they most passionate about? What could they debate about for hours?
I think we've established that Phoebe is a massive nerd, so she could talk about art and the conservation thereof for ages. She could talk about her latest projects for ages, which sometimes drives Isra up the wall - it's not what she wants to talk to her friend about when they actually see each other.
28. Do they have kids? Do they want kids? If so, how many?
Phoebe doesn't currently have any kids, but she definitely wants them. She's not sure how many.
30. Is there something about their personality they want to change?
I more or less answered this earlier, but she wishes she wasn't quite as shy as she is. She feels like she misses out on a lot because of it.
32. Do they critique others easily? Do they judge from afar?
Not in the slightest. Phoebe is very forgiving and sympathetic, and in her mind, people only do bad things when they've been pushed to their limit. This obviously isn't the case, and she's in for a rude awakening that could alter her worldview.
34. Are they the jealous type? What are they most likely to be jealous of?
Romantically? Not really, though there are exceptions. Professionally? Absolutely. She dreams of leading a conservation project where she gets to make all the calls, but she's a junior conservator, so that won't be happening for quite some time.
36. Would they rather be alone or in a relationship?
38. Do they have parents/parental figures? Do they have a good relationship with them?
Phoebe has an excellent relationship with her parents. She talks to them a couple of times a week and goes to Sunday dinner with them as often as she can.
40. Do they have a big family or a small family? No family?
Phoebe is from a normal-sized family. Parents and two kids.
42. Are they happy in their current living situation? Why or why not?
Phoebe loves her flat. It may be small, but it's close to shops, not far from her work, and her neighbors aren't terrible. She would love to have someone to share it with, so she's not alone all the time.
44. Did they go to college, or are they attending? Did/do they like it?
Phoebe has a BA in History of Art from Cambridge University and took two years worth of art conservation and science courses at University College London. She loved every minute of her time at university and sometimes wishes she could do it all over again
46. If they could control one thing in the world, what would it be?
It's trivial, but the weather. Phoebe's a sunshine kind of girl, but not overly hot because that makes the conservation lab unbearable to work in.
48. Do they have social media? Do they like it or hate it? Obsess over it?
She does. Phoebe's preferred platform is instagram, and she uses it to share some of her work and her interests, but mostly so she can spy on her sister, who lives a far more exciting and social life than Phoebe does.
50. Where do they see themselves in 2 / 5 / 10 years?
In two years, she'd love to be in a steady relationship, preferably with the person she's going to be with for the rest of her life.
In five years, she'd like to be married to that person. She would also like to have been promoted to at least senior conservator and have gotten to lead some projects of her own.
In ten years, she'd like to have kids and be settled with her partner. She would love to have been named Head of Conservation in the Organics Department and have led several conservation projects and other assignments like it. She'd also love to write a book detailing her life and work, but there's not really a timeline on that. It's more of an eventual dream.
This took me forever to answer, but thank you so much for sending these in. I loved diving more into Phoebe's character!
