5: What does your OC normally wear?
It hinges on the occasion and what she’s dressing for. She tailors her own clothes and often, ultimately, dresses to give an impression of some kind.
At her most casual, she’s more or less a jeans and a t-shirt/tank top/cute top/button-up combo type person. If she’s wearing a vest or jacket, it’s likely open. If she’s wearing a button-up, sometimes it’s half-open or more, too. Sometimes barefoot or socks, often sneakers.
If she’s skewing male or gang business, she wears a heavy reinforced leather bra to keep everything in place while she’s swinging punches, overlaid with a t-shirt or a button-up and a heavy vest (usually worn closed) or a jacket. Her pants are either jeans or casual dress pants. Either sneakers or workboots.
If she’s dressing up… again, she tailors her own fashion. She’ll wear suits or dresses for whatever occasion, but for the latter they’re usually cut in such a way to reflect her own creativity. Often she’ll wear things that reveal skin without being traditionally revealing, translucent fabrics, fabric cut in such a pattern to give a sense of… I don’t know, she dresses art-like for lack of a better word. Shoes are usually elegantly simple flats or sandals.
She had simpler cuts of a similar nature when she was working clubs and trying to entice customers.
She almost always wears her earrings, and whichever necklace (either the ankh she found out in the woods as a child in the early years or the die-cut fleur de lis that Gat gave her in the latter years.) Sometimes you can catch her wearing bracelets or a ring. Or sunglasses. Most of her jewelry is sentimental.
Oh, and pretty regularly you’ll catch her wearing someone else’s clothes. Usually Johnny’s.
18: How many times did your OC move as a child?
If we’re counting her early teenage years, she moved all of once: from the Orphanage to the Seminary. If I recall my timeline, she booked it at 18 and moved around A LOT after that. (As in, every couple of months to every few weeks.)
I don’t know if she had a favorite. She did like the extra freedom to explore things on her own while in Seminary, though.
49: If your OC experienced trauma, what was it?
Abandonment issues from being thrown out as a child, so there’s that. Neglect, not really intentional but orphans in a facility don’t really get the 1:1 they need to flourish.
Before she joined the Saints, people she knew were vanishing and some were turning up dead.
The actual joining part of joining the Saints wasn’t the best experience she had. Killing people still kinda haunts her, more so that she’s gotten used to it.
Finding her orphanage was burned down was pretty traumatic. Losing Carlos’ Brother was traumatic. Losing Lin was heavily traumatic, more so maybe because Lin saved Faith’s life at the cost of her own. Being betrayed by Julius, even if she didn’t know it was him for years. Waking up to having lost years of her life… having to mercy kill Carlos… losing Aisha hit especially hard… finding out Dex betrayed her on top of finding out Julius betrayed her, losing Gat (even if it was just aliens), the thing with Zimos and Safeword, losing Oleg (seriously, to hell with these aliens) and everyone else and Earth Exploding (ZINYAAAAK!)
And, really, nearly dying a lot didn’t help.
