☜ - Five things my muse sucks at?
1) Being normal - no matter how much she tries, there is always something off about her innocent act, she either looks too cocky or says something that will creep normal people out. This is one thing she never mastered completely, and it always drove James mad when they had to go undercover.
2) Close combat - it’s not that she sucks so much, it’s just that she’s not good enough to stand a chance against anyone but trainees. This is why she is always surrounded by guns and throwing knives, even though she knows she will soon have to start working on her fighting skills too. It’s a terrible weakness, and she’s terrified of anyone finding out and using this against her. Only problem is, she has no idea where to start.
3) Forgiveness and trust - the woman is known for holding grudges. All is well until you fuck her over, and then it gets nasty and she starts playing dirty. The problem is - she will hold grudge even against people who have made honest mistakes, and in the past she lost good friends over that. If she has been hurt or betrayed by someone she will never trust them again. She is bad at trusting people in general, afraid of letting herself become weak by caring or letting them see the real her.
4) Controlling her mood swings - though Scarlett is a master of self-control, and makes a point of always being on top of things, it doesn’t mean there are no dark moments for her. Sometimes, things in her life will catch up with her, and she will close herself in her flat for a few days, or leave the country to spiral out of control. Usually this is very short-lived and she is able to recover (albeit hungover and on withdrawals) but she is afraid of going too far one day. This is the time she has no control of herself, and she has no idea what to do about it.
5) Not getting in trouble and keeping a low profile - She can’t resist any temptation. Everything fascinates her and she feels drawn to explore everything and everyone. You’re fucked up? She’ll be there to observe. You’re slightly unhinged? Oh, she’s dragging you out for coffee to pick your brain. The situation is highly dangerous and likely to end up bad for her? She’ll be there. This, and her generally flamboyant nature make it hard for her to keep a low profile. She likes to stand out, and remaining in the shadows can be really really hard for her - this is something she’s trying to work on, albeit to very little success.
